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 [...]

Latest Pool Hours/Dining Options at Boardwalk
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 [...]
Cape May Cafe and Tusker House! Heck yea!
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 [...]
