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 [...]

Height Restrictions
As someone who previously travelled to Disney World every year without a care in the world or the slightest restriction on what rides I could ride, I now find myself with numerous restrictions to consider as mother of a toddler in Disney World who always seems to think I might need to be aware of [...]
Another Pixie Dust Upgrade
Just checked in with someone renting our DVC points to stay at Boulder Ridge for the past few days, and they were upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom! Lucky ducks. For those of you not following my much less fortunate life, I’ve never been upgraded since my family joined DVC in 1996. I [...]
McDonalds Toys
Well, this is pathetic, but this is what the Disney excitement in our lives has come to at this point in 2020.... My son was crying his eyes out when we got to McDonald’s for lunch today because I apparently stretched our adventures a little too long this morning and he was experiencing some serious [...]
Promising Changes to NY travel quarantine rules
Finally some semi decent news in a week of non stop crappiness about COVID and Disney cast member layoffs (heartbroken about all the performers who were laid off, still refusing to accept that as a permanent move). Governor Cuomo in New York has tweaked his mandatory 14 day quarantine for New Yorkers returning from certain [...]
Pixie Dust – Room Upgrade at Beach Club Villas
For anyone who took the time to peruse my trip reports from July and August, you will recall that contrary to my best hopes (and efforts), we received no pixie dust or upgrades on our trips. Granted our July trip was to a studio at the Polynesian, so that would have meant we were upgraded [...]
Disney dining frustrations
Update 11/3: This morning I was able to easily book any remaining days I was looking for at Topolinos and Hollywood and Vine during my December stay. Any meals that were unavailable yesterday opened up today. It’s worth giving it a look today! Update 10/14: a bunch of availability has opened up at Hollywood & [...]
Potential big change for DVC online booking capabilities regarding Transferred in Points !
I just happened to call Member Services today to check in on whether we have any transferred in points available on one of our memberships, since you can’t see transferred in points online on your dashboard and typically need to call Member Services to get information about them. You normally can view reservations already booked [...]
Happy anniversary ?
What better place to post some photos of the most embarrassing celebration ever ! It is seriously so cringeworthy to think that 75ish people came to our house a year ago today and wrote us well wishes for our wedding and .... blegh what a nightmare. The pictures are nice though. Honestly everything was nice [...]
Christmas Festivities
Ugh, it’s like a knife to the heart whenever there is a Disney announcement about additional cancellations further out in the year. The announcement of the modification to Christmas celebrations hit me hard since I keep hanging on to hope that our weeklong trip in early December will be as magical as our November trips [...]
