Thanks for your thoughts on Gideon's. I think I'm good with skipping. I'd rather buy the Peanut Butter Pie cookies at the Confectionary.

There are two Photopass locations which I have used to find missing photos. One is in the Meet Mickey building in Town Square (enter the main door - Tony’s is on the left, Mickey straight ahead and Photopass service to the right) and the other is the Photo Center in Epcot (to the right of SSE if entering park from main entrance.)
Give the CM the attraction, date and approximate time (the more accurate the time, the better) of when the photo was taken. The CM will pull up a photo gallery which you can see, and will continue to scroll through all the photos taken during your timeframe. When you see yourselves, alert the CM. There will be a number on the pic. The CM can then add the photo to your MDE.
It can be a time consuming process so you’ll need to be patient. Also there is a strong possibility that the camera on a particular attraction was not working properly that day. (Happens frequently at Pirates, HM and Guardians.)
Any Photopass location can pull up all the attraction pics. You don’t need to be in the park where the ride photo was taken.
We have a real knack for getting in the wrong line at QS restaurants. Gaston's is crazy busy and the people who came in behind us had their food before we even ordered. And people are saving tables before ordering, so we got our food and had to stand at a trash can to eat it while half the tables were taken by people with no food. Please don't be those people. Of course your feet hurt and you are tired of standing in lines, but everyone can say the same thing. I shouldn't have to stand at a trash can so you don't have to stand in line like everybody else.

Yes I already did that, and I got a message back that they need to confirm my information... It's stupid. I went through the app to request the photos... They HAVE that info. But whatever.
Thank you! We will head there!

UGH we ran into this as well on our quick trip at Pinocchio Village Haus. Would gladly join you on your soap box LOL
The app said 25 minutes for HM so we hurried across to the entrance. It was already at 35. We got in line and suddenly it said 45. Now it's down.
I guess we kind of lucked out. They evacuated the queue right behind us and sent us through to get our passed scanned to get a LL fo another ride. Those behind us were just sent away after standing in line for an hour. We at least got a LL. We came out to find a bunch of guest experiences people bombarded with upset families who had stood there for ages in the sun for nothing.
We went and took a nap at Hall of presidents and when we were done, the app said HM was 13 minutes. (IYKYK) we hurried there and got right on. It stopped twice, but we got out just in time to check in to LTT. PERFECT!
I have been wanting this picture for YEARS! Every time we would get in line for HM and the PP person was there, but when we came out they'd be gone. I'm so glad to finally have it. This was taken just after we were evacuated from the line.

Wasnt that forbidden and enforced by Disney? aka no "saving" seats.
I think they only do that at the busiest times like Christmas. Not sure, but there was no one even looking.
They were hardcore on it in 2021 and 2022 with a CM at the entrance to the seating area. Unless you had food you were not getting in. It was a very inflexible policy with no give. My handicapped wife has an ECV, so she had no problem waiting while I got the food. Sometimes Grandma needs a seat, There has to be a happy middle.

I think it is okay once people have ordered for the rest of the party to go get condiments and a table. Although hubs and I have been guilty of grabbing a table and then one of us going to order. I feel a little guilty if it is busy but if it is not and there are plenty of tables I have no guilt. There have been a few times when my blood sugar was so low that I had to sit down in order to be safe while I ate my snack or waited for hubs to come back with food.
None of the people saving seats were elderly. Actually most of them were pretty young... The oldest was probably my age. She was taking up a table for 4. We were nearly done with ours when her husband brought their food. It was just the two of them. Meanwhile a family of 5 or 6 was huddled around a table for two, and we were eating at a trash can. When the family left, they offered us their table, and we sat there until a couple with food came because we knew as soon as we left, someone without food was going to steal that table. So we waited and when people came looking for a table and they actually had food, we gave them our table. Two other families ended up sharing a large table. But there were around 10 tables and 5 of them had people sitting there with feet propped up on chairs, playing on phones.
Why is it that whichever way I walk, everyone else is walking the other way and not leaving any space for people going in the opposite direction? I actually purposely bumped into someone earlier because I was walking as far to the right as I could and the people walking in the other direction didn't even want to leave enough space for one person... They just pushed through. So I made sure my arm made contact.
I stopped at the fish and chips window to get a cup of ice. There are two entrances. One to order and the other to pick up orders. I got there at the same time as a guy with a big double stroller, but he went to the order pick-up side instead of the order side. All I wanted was a cup of ice. The guy literally kept shoving his stroller forward to push in front of me as though he should be first when we got there at the same time. He literally used his stroller to cut in front of me and when I kept moving forward, he gave up and insisted on ordering at the pick up window just to be before me. He was determined that he was going to be first. I don't know what it is about a stroller that seems to make people think they have the right of way over everyone else.

Today is departure day. We are packed up and checked out. Our flight isn't until 8pm, and our Mears bus picks up at like 4:30, so we are hanging out in Epcot to watch Voices of Liberty one last time.
Yesterday we took it easy. We slept in, we ubered to Toothsome Chocolate Emporium to get some treats to take home for my husband, and then ubered to the character warehouse on intl drive and got some last minute souvenirs. A star wars t-shirt formy husband, a nerdy Carrots shirt for E, and some HM PJ pants for me. Then we ubered back to the resort and had lunch. (Thank you, @Darstarr !) We got to Epcot in the late afternoon. We went to MK and took the monorail so we could see the Moana water attraction.
The we did SSE. Again, please enjoy the stellar pictures... It thought E's breast was my face. Apparently my face looks less human than her bewbs.
