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 [...]
Giving Lightning Lane and Genie+ a Try
Woohoo! We are back in Disney for our weeklong trip (if you haven’t come in mid-November, do it. Perfect weather, Christmas decorations up, moderate crowds). This is my first experience with the new paid Genie+ system and the paid individual lightning lanes as well, so I figure throughout the week I’ll write up some feedback/reviews. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
