That's the pixie dust I am needing. Beautiful.

You need a vacation to help you get over your vacation. Might I suggest Disneyland?

Good one, we lovingly call Disney World "the germiest place on earth".

You can likely hold onto the October resevations for a bit longer to see how it all shakes out. Don't know yet how cash on hand short they are. It might be done with by summer. Disney will be hard pressed in the summer to close so much up and understaffed their parks and not have total anicary. I'd wait it out a while.

Thanks, that's what hubby suggests. I guess my patience is a little short right now, with being sick.

Good Morning!

WDW Shutterbug

More pixie dust, thanks.

Made our last ADR this morning and it made me both happy and sad at the same time.

wait a sec.. why sad?

 

[betty rose]

Good morning everyone, I have to say I think I'm getting better. Thanks for all the well wishes. Now, I can be on and post to all my friends. Yea, I'm baaaack!

I'm thinking as soon as they get the show running for a week or so. I'm hoping they have dinner packages for it so I don't have to fp or wait on line forever

Theres rumors that the show will be FP+ and Dinner package only.
So I wouldn't expect much space left for normal visitors (like they do in Fantasmic)

But...when have they EVER sold McDonalds fries at Disney? When we went in 2010, if there had b

They actually used to have McDonald's products in the parks. One over in Frontierland, one in Epcot where the refreshment outpost is now near Canada, and one over in Dinoland (Restaurantossaurus). I figure there was one over in DHS too, but I don't remember where. Disney broke off the agreement with McDonald's years ago. When they stopped allowing Disney characters to be featured as McDonald's toys was when they pulled the McDonald's out of their parks. But that was years and years ago. There us still one McDonald's on Disney property, outside of the parks.

Do dinner packages cost more? They usually take 2 dining credits, don't they? I don't mind fastpassing it if I have to. The only dinner I have in AK is Tusker House and I don't want to change any of our reservations. Hopefully I'll be able to see ROL without a dining package.

Nope, most dinner packages cost 1 as far I know. Unless you order int he brown derby or deluxe dinning areas.

And actually, its cheaper if you buy are used to buy the whole Appetizer, Main course(Entree), and Desert + drink.

Example, buying the Mama Melrose's package, was around 40-45 USD per person.
But it included food that usually costs 60+USD (included unlimited soda)

I remember seeing that Mcdonalds every time I left from AKL to Coronado Springs.
Right by the overpass.
Usually full of trucks nearby.

The mentality of Iger and Co against WDW is staggering...

So agree, and so sad.

 

[betty rose]

I'm so sorry to hear you're still sick, would you like me to come out and kick those bugs in their tushies? Sending prayers and pixie dust and I really hope you get well soon. xoxoxo

Thanks, @figmentfan423. I'm much better today, the pixie dust and prayers worked wonders! xoxo I saw that you made the last of your ADR 's hope everything works out great for the family.

Well, then we should raise a tall glass of Guinness in celebration. (or something similar)

OK, so youngest DD and DWifey went over to mom and pops a little while ago to borrow an extra carry on bag for the trip. Then mom remembered she found an old faded drawing in a box in the attic just the other day that I had done years ago. I remember drawing this in 7th grade art class. They totally surprised me with something I had long forgotten about...!

Wonderful sketch. Lot of talent!

Wow...I went back and read several pages...in what world does "Educational" = "geared toward boys"? How offensive is that? And um...I don't think ANYONE is begging "please, mommy, let's go learn where fossil fuels come from!" Boys OR girls. But how is Imagination/figment geared toward boys? That was my FAVORITE ride in Epcot when we went...I was 8 or 9 and I LOVED figment.,,,went around singing that song all. day. long. My DD is 9 and is interested in pretty much everything...she's a girly girl and likes glitter and pink and princessy stuff, but she and another GIRL in her class get the best grades and they are the only 2 who are in the plus groups for every subject it's offered.In fact, DD came home yesterday and told me that they are making a new plus group for reading comprehension because she and this other girl and 2 boys in the class did so well on their exams that the level in the class is too low and they need more advanced material. To say that Epcot is boy-oriented because it focuses on education is just so misogynistic and offensive.
The unmagical day one was kind of funny, though. Obviously, if that was a real person and real complaint, she didn't do much research before she went. But...when have they EVER sold McDonalds fries at Disney? When we went in 2010, if there had been a place that had anything resembling McDonalds fries or chicken nuggets, we would have been all over it for DS who was 2 and wouldn't eat anything in the parks. I found the whole thing comical, because you can look up refurbishments on the website to make sure the attraction you are looking forward to will be open and you can look up menus to see where you can get what. And how did she not know about ADRs...and to be offended that people who took the time to make reservations have priority over someone who just walks in? Isn't that kind of the point of reservations? If she's really a travel agent, she's not a very good one. Don't think I'd trust her with my vacation planning. It was amusing reading though.

There was a small snack wagon as you went from Adventureland to Frontierland for quite a few years. All they sold was French Fries, I think. It's gone now, but, there is a full size McDonald's currently not to far from DtD, if I recall and there was also one in DtD (Disney Springs), also gone now.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't notice that it had already been posted by @StarWarsGirl95.
