    Pre-Trip Eenie...Meenie...Miney...Dough: Booking (and re-booking...and re-booking) our April 2021 Trip ***COMPLETED***

    But she eventually was in agreement with each of my proposals, despite their added cost. Although somewhere around the point that she agreed to go along with my suggestion to upgrade our reservation for the fifth time, I began to detect a very subtle shift in the dynamics of our conversations...

    Pre-Trip Eenie...Meenie...Miney...Dough: Booking (and re-booking...and re-booking) our April 2021 Trip ***COMPLETED***

    This latest extension to the length of our trip meant that we were now on Version 7.0 of our original itinerary—but happily this was the first change to actually save us money. Naturally before each of the previous six changes, I always ran things by Melissa—usually by launching into a pitch...

    And true to the subtitle of this pre-trip report AKA-The NeverEnding ‘Reservation’, we recently had yet another change to the end of trip—but one that worked out in our favor without any extra cost. We were originally scheduled to fly out of Orlando on Saturday evening, but the airfare for...

    Ummm, I fell a little behind on the forums this week, but did I read in some recent comments that your trip at Easter is now canceled?? Cuz if that's true,

    Trip Report The ONE with the Bowl that was not so Super 🚽 2/5-2/9, 2021*COMPLETED*

    Thanks for another great TR--and nice job getting some cool pics with your new phone! Glad to see that despite an awful start, you and M rallied and made it another memorable trip. I got a laugh out of how picky M was for so many every meal: "what's this? what's this??" I imagined that very...

    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    That's great news--first and foremost for the CM's and also for people with upcoming trips. I'm curious if the specific details of who is being called back might give an indication of where the next change in Covid-related closures might occur: are there any callbacks to laid-off CM's from a...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Maybe it's just semantics, but the post above was from someone who said that they had a friend who was being trained, as in currently right now. Marni then acknowledged that they were aware that CM's had been trained (as in the past), but then added a comment about redeployment. I was just...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Do you mean that the trained CM's have now been redeployed to Remy, or have been redeployed to other attractions after receiving their Remy training?

    Trip Report You've Got a Friend in Me

    Lol--the first time I looked this photo I thought she was raising a finger to her mouth as if to go '"...ssshhh" That, plus her body posture (clutching her dress in one hand while taking what appears to be tiny steps)-along with the fact that you spotted her first thing in the morning over in...

    That was some pretty impressive detective work there, Nancy Drew! Oh hey, could you do me a huge favor and look for my retainer while you're there?? I lost it on the Skyway over Tomorrowland in 1978. My dad is still pretty miffed about that one...
