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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Multiple One Day Waitlists Change
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 [...]
Big Kid Rides !
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 [...]
Does our Toddler have a Park Pass?
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 [...]
Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group and Rider Swap
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 [...]
Party size when booking dining
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 [...]
Santa, Santa Everywhere
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 [...]
Bay Lake Tower “Lake View” One Bedroom Villa
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 [...]
