Cost to Invest in DVC (Direct vs Resale)
Almost every day someone asks if DVC is "worth it." While it definitely depends on the person/family and their traveling style/frequency, my response typically is that it is worth it if you buy resale. People can either purchase DVC points directly from Disney, at Disney's prescribed rates, or purchase points on the resale market, where [...]
Epcot Monorail
There has been a flood of reopening news over the past few weeks. Every day something new is announced. Meanwhile there have been crickets about the Epcot Monorail reopening. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Apparently today cast members were spotted training at the Epcot monorail station though, indicating it’s reopening could be imminent. Hallelujah! Nothing better than [...]
Current Firework Status in Walt Disney World
"But there are no fireworks!" has been a frequent complaint across the social media world and real-life world when planning a potential trip to Walt Disney World gets discussed. It seems no one can imagine the Most Magical Place on Earth without nightly fireworks, which is fair. Part of Disney's magic is that every day [...]
Skyliner Back to Boarding Multiple Parties per Gondola
Oh hallelujah! Worried about the rumors you’ve heard about long lines for the Skyliner? Well disney just made the move to eliminate those long lines completely. The Skyliner is now boarding multiple parties per gondola. Granted, it is nice and luxurious and awesome to NOT share a gondola with another party. Our experience pre-covid was [...]
Fastpass+ button back on MDE app
On Facebook people are posting that they have a Fastpass+ selections button suddenly available for their late August vacations. The buttons say fastpasses will be available to book on June 30th. Apparently the button was not there yesterday. There is a good chance this is just a glitch, but I’m always so hopeful that they [...]

While endless information is available on various Disney websites, some offerings and hours seem to only be available when you actually arrive at the resort. So for anyone who is curious, these were the recreational offerings and hours offered at the Boardwalk this past week (May 10th). These hours are probably indicative of the recreational [...]
Correction: no character breakfast at Cape May Cafe
I apparently lied in my post below about more character dining options returning. The character dining options that ARE returning will be Tusker House and dinner at Chef Mickey’s. https://jilteddisneybride.com/2021/05/06/cape-may-cafe-and-tusker-house-heck-yea/ Cape May Cafe reopened today, but without characters for the time being. No announcement on when the characters will return. It is of course much [...]
Chef Mickey’s Modified Character Dining Review
Well, we finally nabbed a Chef Mickey’s breakfast reservation the day before we hoped to eat there this past week, as has been our luck with reservations throughout covid. If you’re struggling to get reservations, keep in mind that the day or two prior to your anticipated dining date is an awesome chance to check [...]
Update on Wait Times
As you may recall from my previous trip reports in July, August, and December of 2020, I’ve been saying since Disney reopened that wait times are quite inflated in the app and on the actual signage at the rides themselves. Our experience has been that if a ride says a 10-20 minute wait, then it [...]
