When booking a DVC room, specifically studios, there are several different sleeping configurations, depending on the resort. Back in the day, every DVC studio had a queen bed and a pull out sofa that was either a double, full, or queen (with the exception of Old Key West which has two queen beds in their [...]

Extended Park Hours for Guests of Deluxe Resorts = Amazing
Edit: effective early December, Ratatouille has been added to the Epcot extended hours in the evenings. This is a total game changer given how challenging it is to get on that ride. Wish we were there for that! Whew, we did the extended hours in Magic Kingdom last night and it honestly felt like a [...]
Best Wait Times in Hollywood Studios
Update: by the end of our trip we rode Slinky Dog 4 times, never waiting more than 15 minutes, MMRR twice (20 minutes once, walk on another), ROTR twice (both under 5 minutes), and TSM 4 times as well (typically walking on, although we had one long wait when we tried during the early entry [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
