Pick breakfast. We had dinner in July 2023 and the food was almost inedible. The steak was fatty and overcooked. The chicken thighs were dry and tasteless. The chicken wings were overcooked and dry while the skin was soft and slimy. How does one even do that? The noodles were cold. The dumplings...

Busch Gardens is using this same strategy. Right now Disney is still way better than both Six Flags and Busch Gardens. At least the Disney employees are engaging, friendly and enthusiastic.

They also painted the ceiling. They were actively cleaning and painting the trim and ceiling while we were there July 23 through the 28th.

Its all in perspective. We stayed at GF from July 23 though 28. Our experience was exceptional. The entire staff was courteous, polite, engaging, knowledgeable and absolutely pleasant. The room was immaculate. We hoped for two queen beds, but got a king. We made it work. Mary Poppin easter eggs...

Bats are not a problem. They eat their weight in mosquitoes each night. They are only a problem if they are actually inside the buildings.

We attended the EPCOT after hours event last Thursday July 27. It was fantastic. We loved it. We walked onto every ride. We never had a wait more than one ride cycle (Soarin). We were able to ride Ratatouille twice back to back with no wait. Our last ride of the night was Spaceship Earth and I...

Plan to eat before the extended hours start. We were there last Thursday and I only saw the Fish & Chips stand open in UK, but it appeared to be closing up. There were plenty of free snacks (popcorn, ice cream and sodas) available, but no real food.

We stayed here last week and it was fantastic. Sure, the construction walls in the lobby were inconvenient, but not enough to spoil our trip. We never had any issues with dining. In fact, the crowds are smaller due to 1900 Park Fare and Victoria & Alberts being closed. Getting food was easy. The...

Main lobby with equipment and ceiling painting the week of July 24 through 28, 2023.

Main lobby ceiling painting on Friday July 28.

We visited Ohana Tuesday, July 26 and this is not the Ohana I remember. I understand changes were made post-pandemic, but the food quality should not have been one of the changes. The meats were overcooked and dry. The pork dumplings were hard. The peel and eat shrimp was flavorless. The bread...

We were on it yesterday (Thursday 7-27). Took the resort loop from Grand Floridian to the TTC and the switched to the Epcot loop to get to the park.

I agree don't mess with gorilla pod. They take up space in bags and are awkward to carry. Use a purse on the top of trash can, you can even flip a cup over on a table or trash can to gain more height. I have a low opinion of gorilla pods, especial since I almost lost a camera over the side of...

I wouldn't. We stayed toward the back in Broadway. It was nice and quiet. Sure the walk is a bit more, but it is a nice and easy stroll. As stated before, it is a compact resort.

I have never seen the end/exit of Dinosaur. I have started the ride four times in the vehicle and it has broken down four times. I have walked out each time. Each time we sat for 30 minutes waiting to be let out, with the longest wait being almost an hour. The cast members were very nice and we...

We usually tip $2 per person per night and leave a tip on each day. We start with first day, that way we get those extra perks (towel animals, extra soaps, shampoos, candies, etc.). Housekeeping staff may change during the trip and therefore we feel its best to reward the staff each day. Wait...

I would rather Pixar put energy into new and original ideas. If they want to do sequels...why not use The Incedibles, Finding Nemo had enough characters that stories could formulated, Brave is left wide open, and there were rumors of a sequel to Bugs Life many years ago.

On our last trip I too used only a 50mm F1.2 prime for the whole trip. It was a challenge and I got some good pictures, but I got a whole lot of bad ones. I found it particularly difficult at night to properly focus.

UV filter during the day, but I take it off at night to limit ghosting and light drop-off.

After reading all the posts the one lousy Pixar move missing was Ratattouille. It was way worse than Cars 2. Ratattouille is missing something. It just doesn't seem to flow. I don't care for any of the characters. The dialog is weak. For me, it just seems to fail on so many levels. In my...
