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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Multi Experience Passes
Spoiler alert: this post will either make you jealous or make you think I’m an entitled rule-breaker. I debated keeping this whole story to myself, but just in case anyone else can nab these awesome passes from guest services, I wanted to share how awesome they were. I guess if anyone wants to be super [...]
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 [...]
