We are BIG fans of character dining. I recognize that it is foolishly expensive, and a lifetime of training by my frugal father makes me slightly appalled by our arguable wastefulness in selecting so many character dining meals every trip, but we simply love it, so we rationalize it as paying for the experience as [...]
For those fun select few people who also like to stalk the availability tool and make one day waitlists to piece together tough-to-get trips, I became aware of a relevant change yesterday. The policy in writing (at the bottom of the waitlist confirmation page) has always said not to book multiple one day waitlists or [...]
Anyone who has read my prior trip reports knows that I describe my 3 year old as pretty timid/cautious/the opposite of a little wild man, but he did a full 180 this trip and totally surprised me !! I’m so proud of my brave little boy and I can’t get over it! You’ll recall that [...]
Ah the million dollar question.... or at least the $750 question in our case.... Our son does NOT have a park pass on this trip. I am not one for flagrant rule breaking by any means. I’m absolutely a major proponent of getting any and all discounts that you can find, but by no means [...]
Whew, best day ever in Hollywood Studios yesterday. I’ll try to write a whole recap later, but we rode all the Toy Story Land rides (Saucers x4, TSM x2), Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railway, Lightning McQueen, Muppets, Star Tours (Not me, I pretty nearly die on that one), Smugglers Run (also not me for fear [...]
One quick interesting thing to note when making dining reservations these days.... it would appear you have some leeway to play around with your party size a little bit if it helps you grab the reservation you are looking for. I noticed yesterday when checking into our reservation at Topolinos that we had the option [...]
During our week in WDW we had quite a few Santa sightings, which I figured I’d share in case anyone is on their way and wondering about Christmas theming, or anyone is depressed at home during a pandemic and just needs to see a Disney World Santa cruising the parks in a sweet ride. They [...]
Holy moly, mind blown by the one bedroom villa we just checked out of at Bay Lake Tower. I am a Boardwalk Villas loyalist through and through, with a little wiggle room for some Beach Club love here and there, so I always go into stays at other resorts with the bar set really high [...]
Ah those good old days of the smoothest travel days ever back when we took our summer trips this year. I knew I jinxed it a bit. Nothing terribly awful as far as normal air travel goes, but definitely crowds and lines all throughout Newark airport. Everything was moving swiftly though. Similar to in Disney, [...]
For those who were following my post linked below and had similar issues with challenging advanced dining reservations, particularly at character dining restaurants, I have an update now that our trip has arrived. https://jilteddisneybride.com/2020/10/07/disney-dining-frustrations/ Similar to many others, we were able to suddenly get all the remaining reservations we were looking for on a certain [...]
