Business Casual Dresscode for Restaurants Update!!!

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

Wow, I feel like I need a nap just thinking about your schedule! Maybe when you get home from Disney you could put up just your favorite things and not go all out. It sounds like you won't be home for Christmas anyway so... maybe make it easier on yourself and do just a little after the Disney trip :shrug:

There was one year that I didn't put up ANY Christmas decorations because I was in an apartment and we were moving during the Christmas holidays, so it seemed like too much extra work to unpack only to pack it again before Christmas!! We survived... ok, I may have gotten out a few small things, but no tree or anything major. That was really bad timing to have to move btw, won't try that again!

We used to not do much for Christmas due to our travel, BUT...DD will be nearly three this Christmas and she LOVES Christmas. Seriously. She asked to watch Polar Express just last week! :lol: She is the MAIN reason that we are doing WDW this year and I want to keep the excitement up even after our trip. I know that the "Santa Years" are short-lived and those are SO magical, so I will do 'the works' this year just for her. Maybe Santa will bring me a day or two to sleep in over the holidays to recoup from all of my holiday craziness this year!:animwink: Besides, at least half of my Christmas decor is Mickey/Disney, so that will just get me revved up and ready, right?

You will all recognize me at WDW in Dec.--I'll be the frazzled one carrying a list with a glazed look and frozen smile on my face and hair out to there--a regular Christmas zombie! But I will be having FUN, gosh darnit! :ROFLOL: :ROFLOL: :ROFLOL:

We hit the three-month mark today!:sohappy:

Love the Castle Lighting video on the WDW website. DH is just now starting to get excited. What's wrong with him?!? I've been bouncing off walls since before we made the reservations!

See, here is my dilema--we travel out of town for Thanksgiving and won't be home until Sunday night. That gives us one week until we leave the next Sunday for DISNEY and I really need to focus on laundry, packing, etc. Sooooo, that means I need to get my Christmas stuff up before Thanksgiving, even if it means I don't light it up quite yet. I figure the Halloween decor comes down and I can take my time putting up Christmas (and perhaps keep my blinds closed to avoid the scorn of the neighbors :lol: ) as long as it is done in time for me to prepare for our Thanksgiving trip (which includes gift wrapping, laundry, etc., since two weeks after we get back from Disney we travel again for Christmas!) :eek:

Once Halloween comes and goes, things definitely intensify around here!:hammer: As a stay-at-home Mom, I am ready for the challenge!:lol:

Well, you can either start decorating a week before Thanksgiving or decorate when you come back on the 8th. Or do the next day while you're doing laundry, and catching up on your soaps. LOL

Updated the front page.

Cooleo posted some info in the news and rumors section that could also apply here--he gave directions to some holiday videos on the Disney website. If you weren't excited before, you will be after watching those. It makes it feel even closer...:xmas: Anyway, either check out his "Castle Christmas Lighting" post in that section or log in on the Disney website under My Vacation and watch the backstage pass videos--3 out of 4 are holiday related! :sohappy:

Thanks for the info! I checked it out and loved it. In fact, I put it on the front page of this thread.

I'm at 93 more days.

Ok, I see the importance of going all out now! My kids are 24 and 20 so I forget the Santa phase sometimes :lol:

I sure hope you get a couple of restful days in there somewhere, sounds like it would be a blessing!

Yes, that trampoline is awesome, she uses it everyday. Amston is a small party of Hebron so I can't blame you for having to look it up. Thanks for the nice comments :)
