Disney snuck in an announcement today that Tusker House is reopening this summer as another character dining option, and Cape May Cafe is reopening in less than two weeks! What!!? May 18th! Hell yea. These are two favorite character dining options during regular times, so this is big news. I personally am not too obsessed [...]

Tip for Checking Dining Availability on MDE App
When booking dining reservations lately I’ve had my share of woes since restaurant options are so limited and those that are open are operating at reduced capacity. So similar to many others I’m sure, I’ve had to repeatedly check the app in the weeks leading up to our trip to see if anything opens up [...]
MagicMobile
In what should be a shock to no one, Disney has announced plans to roll out an offering called Disney’s MagicMobile, which will allow guests to basically perform the functions of a MagicBand with their Mobile Device. This means your AppleWatch could theoretically be replacing your MagicBand later this year (pretty cool). So basically, similar [...]
October 1st?!? Cmon Remy!
Ugh. Not totally shocking but still pretty disappointing that Disney officially announced the new Ratatouille ride in Epcot will be opening on October 1, 2021. I really thought there was a tiny chance we might get to ride it on our little trip in May, although I thought a summer opening was more likely. Weird [...]
Could the DVC Borrowing Restrictions be Coming to an End?!
I’ve had my fingers crossed that the 50% borrowing restriction in effect since the covid reopening might end when some of these big expiration dates rolled around, or once all the resorts got reopened. With Aulani finally reopened, we’ve just been waiting on the Grand Californian. Well, today our prayers have been answered and DVC [...]
Breaking News! New Character Dining
Yes, I literally consider this breaking news at this point. If you recall, I had previously listed the character dining options as follows: breakfast at Chef Mickeys, breakfast at Topolinos, lunch and dinner at Hollywood and Vine, and lunch and dinner at Garden Grill. That is all there currently is available for character dining. Well [...]
Skyliner Operating Hours Confusion
Since our trip back in August 2020, I have found myself attempting to explain the Skyliner hours to countless people planning Disney trips. Their questions almost always pertain to timing of reservations at Topolinos and whether they will be able to access Riviera via the Skyliner at certain hours. The occasional question also pops up [...]
Kiddo’s Ride Review
We aren’t vloggers, and never will be, since I hate myself on video/recording, but this dang kid has taken to talking about Disney in such a knowledgeable little way, that I’m going to try to take more videos of his insights. He seriously can name every resort and give opinions on the pros and cons [...]
Waitlist 101
Proper use of the waitlist when reserving DVC rooms is an absolute game changer that a lot of people unfortunately don’t understand and therefore don’t take full advantage of. A solid understanding of it is so beneficial that it could easily result in someone purchasing a cheaper home resort and staying at whatever resort they [...]
Update on Refillable Mugs
Back in August I wrote the post below about catching onto a way to save a few bucks by bringing “old” refillable mugs to Disney since they aren’t currently using the sensors on the soda fountain machines to verify if the mugs have expired. This caused all sorts of uproar on social media about ethics [...]
