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. [...]

New annual passes 9/8
I haven’t had a chance to peruse the internet this morning, but the recording when you call DVC Member Services was updated to say “new annual pass sales will resume September 8th” this morning. Seems like big news, so I imagine it has been announced elsewhere as well, but in case it hasn’t, there ya [...]
Tickets for “Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours”
Update: see screenshots at the end for prices and dates. Today I received an unexpected email announcing that I would be able to purchase tickets for something called "Disney's Very Merriest After Hours" starting August 17th. This purchase date seems to be based on the fact that I have a resort reservation during the holiday [...]
Booking System Issues and Sudden Availability
This morning (8/9/21) there was a surprising flood of availability for hard-to-get dates at nearly every DVC resort. When poking around just before 7am, instead of seeing the typical 1 or 2 nights available in a studio across any resort for the months of November and December, I saw full availability for weeks like “Jersey [...]

If you are new to hearing about Disney Vacation Club memberships, you are probably wondering what it means when people refer to points/contracts as being Direct or Resale. So as a follow up to my post linked below regarding the up front cost of purchasing a Disney Vacation Club Membership in general, it is important [...]
Current Firework Status in Walt Disney World
"But there are no fireworks!" has been a frequent complaint across the social media world and real-life world when planning a potential trip to Walt Disney World gets discussed. It seems no one can imagine the Most Magical Place on Earth without nightly fireworks, which is fair. Part of Disney's magic is that every day [...]
Skyliner Back to Boarding Multiple Parties per Gondola
Oh hallelujah! Worried about the rumors you’ve heard about long lines for the Skyliner? Well disney just made the move to eliminate those long lines completely. The Skyliner is now boarding multiple parties per gondola. Granted, it is nice and luxurious and awesome to NOT share a gondola with another party. Our experience pre-covid was [...]
Fastpass+ button back on MDE app
On Facebook people are posting that they have a Fastpass+ selections button suddenly available for their late August vacations. The buttons say fastpasses will be available to book on June 30th. Apparently the button was not there yesterday. There is a good chance this is just a glitch, but I’m always so hopeful that they [...]
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 [...]
