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

    Since we were just looking to make reservations for the last two days of the trip, I told my wife that I’d take one for the team and would handle the twilight booking scramble solo this time.

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

    No sooner had my sleep schedule finally returned to normal after all that early morning fun on February 2nd, it was time for Round Two on February 7th. After eleven straight months of quarantining at home, the days of the week have started to blend into one another, so it wasn’t until almost...

    Topolino's or Cali. Grill?!!

    Hi NelleBelle. Just a heads up--our ADR window opened up last week and Topolino's seemed to be pretty well booked up already for the dates we were there (granted, it is Easter week so it might be busier than the week you'll be there). But there were still more openings for Cali Grill throughout...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    I read 'WDW Gateway' to mean: Isn't the International Gateway at Epcot usually abbreviated as just 'IG'?

    Chef Mickey's--Earliest Reservation during Extended MK hours?

    Is there anyone who went to Chef Mickey's during Christmas week (or anytime when MK opened at 8 AM) who could confirm what were the earliest reservation times?

    Chef Mickey's--Earliest Reservation during Extended MK hours?

    It looks like Chef Mickey's currently offers 7:30 am as the earliest available reservation (while MK's scheduled opening is at 9 am). If MK's hours are expanded during Easter week to open at 8 am (like it did during Christmas week), does Chef Mickey's offer earlier times for reservation (like...

    I'll certainly let you know about the section of the CR that we'll be staying in (Tower Lake View). They'll be renovating the Tower Park View rooms while we're there, but I'll try to sneak a peak if I can. If your teenagers love walking and you're trying to pinch pennies, you might consider...

    Glad you're enjoying it--we can't wait either! Glad to think there'll be another TR to look forward to at some point after you finish your current one!

    You know, Mr. Disney was apparently a big smoker, but they went to great lengths to keep that a secret. Maybe that mysterious gentleman that you encountered that night was the ghost of old Walt himself wandering around the resort in search of a smoke... See, you got to experience your own...

    My giddiness was somewhat short-lived, as I lay in bed in the growing dusk. I quietly resigned myself to the fact that since we had booked a split-stay with a different resort reservation for the final two days of our trip, I would have to go through this entire twilight routine all over again...

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

    The whole process took about half an hour from start to finish, then we lumbered back upstairs to try to grab a few more hours of sleep before the sun came up. We wound up with 11 reservations over the course of the first six days of the trip, plus the two Galaxy Edge experiences. Despite my...

    Luckily, I remembered a suggestion someone had made on a forum about searching for reservations on a web browser using a desktop/laptop, as opposed to going through the app on your phone. Sure enough, plenty of available times started popping up for places we had hoped for, and after we juggled...

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

    Finally the magic hour struck, and we each went to work scrambling to snag our most desired reservations. Initially, I wasn’t able to find any available times on the dates we wanted, and I could tell by the string of muttered curse words that were wafting over from Melissa’s direction that she...
