Effective July 1, 2007, Disney modified its Business Casual Dress Code at its premier restaurants to include t-shirts. The guidelines, which originally went into effect July 2005, still prohibit hats, swim suits, swim suit coveralls, tank tops, torn clothing or flip-flops. Suggested attire includes dress shorts, pants, jean pants, collared shirts, blouses, sweaters. Restaurants now requiring Business Casual dress include: Artist Point (Wilderness Lodge), California Grill (Contemporary), Citricos and Narcoossee's (Grand Floridian), Jiko (Animal Kingdom Lodge), Flying Fish (Boardwalk), and Yachtsman Steakhouse (Yacht Club).


In addition, holidays at Disney's Hollywood Studios will have a special sparkle this year as the park hosts the Harlem Gospel Choir Nov. 30-Dec. 25, 2007

Jimmy Thick and family, Dec 7- Dec 26.

I would post my ADR's but I have so many it would be like bragging.:ROFLOL:
Well, you are staying at a longer stay. I've already posted my ADRs on here, and I have a pretty good selection. I wouldn't consider it bragging...I would consider it just you being an effective planner, not bragging.

Oh, and BTW, which resort are you staying at?

Here is some stuff I found on the FoodNetwork.com for listings for yummy food and December Holiday foods in the parks:

Disney's Anniversary Blow Out
Giada heads to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, to attend a spectacular bash celebrating 50 years of Disney theme park magic. With more than 3,000 VIP’s invited to a 50th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney’s first theme park, the catering team at Walt Disney World kicks into action to make sure it’s a party worthy of the Disney name. On the menu are such delectable treats as Mongolian Beef, Shrimp with Crab Claws, Two Terrific Tacos, and a Butterfinger Cheesecake that would do Mickey proud. But as the clock ticks down to the big event, the team has a lot of challenges to deal with — including a brewing storm that threatens to rain on Mickey’s parade!


The last one isn't really WDW, but Laurent Branlard is the Executive Pastry Chef at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin will be judging the contestants at this reality show:

Fantasy Fruit Sculptures
On location in Hawaii, four sculpting gurus transform over one hundred pounds of produce into tropical sculptures that rise above five feet. Using a variety of fruits and vegetables, the competitors try to carve, peel, and slice their way to a $10,000 prize. The competitors face tough conditions as they carve their fruit in the sweltering Hawaiian heat, but the real test will be moving the final sculptures, which weigh upwards of 300 pounds.

I am so excited that I think I may becoming obsessed! Any excuse to 'research or review' my Disney info, etc. gets me on the computer or in my Disney file for what could be hours at a time. :eek:

When DH went in July (on business--right!) he brought back maps of the parks, so I pour over those, work on my "daily itinierary", or rework the items in DD's gift basket from Mickey (haven't ordered it yet--too busy 'reworking!' :animwink: ) ANYTHING DISNEY!

I try to go Christmas shopping (get it over with now, won't be thinking about THAT come December! :lol: ) and end up buying stuff for the trip! I AM OUT OF CONTROL! MICKEY, GET ME OUT OF HERE!:ROFLOL:

ummm..anyone else have this problem?:lookaroun
