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 [...]
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.

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.

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 [...]

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 & [...]
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 [...]
