Apparently gone are the days of frantically stressing about being online at 5:45am 60 days prior to the start of your trip, strategizing about booking the dining for the last days of your trip first. This morning I casually slept in until 6:30 (real casual), figuring I might be screwed for our September trip since [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Skyliner Operating Hours Confusion
Since our trip back in August 2020, I have found myself attempting to explain the Skyliner hours to countless people planning Disney trips. Their questions almost always pertain to timing of reservations at Topolinos and whether they will be able to access Riviera via the Skyliner at certain hours. The occasional question also pops up [...]
Update on Refillable Mugs
Back in August I wrote the post below about catching onto a way to save a few bucks by bringing “old” refillable mugs to Disney since they aren’t currently using the sensors on the soda fountain machines to verify if the mugs have expired. This caused all sorts of uproar on social media about ethics [...]
Covid Character Dining Options and Reviews

February 22nd Update: Just announced! Disney Jr. Breakfast at Hollywood and Vine will be opening on March 22nd! This is the 3rd character breakfast option. Hopefully a sign of more good things to come. Fingers crossed (because I don't honestly give a hoot about Disney Jr. characters, sorry not sorry) https://jilteddisneybride.com/2021/02/23/breaking-news-new-character-dining/ We are BIG fans [...]
