Thanks for the tip - is coffee included in the price? That would be a huge bonus for me.
I’m not a coffee drinker but I’m pretty sure it is.

Was jolted out of bed a few minutes ago by an absolutely massive fireworks display coming from the direction of Epcot. Idk if it was Harmonious testing or what but it was huge and I had a perfect view of it from my balcony. Nearly cried!!
Same thing happened to us. It certainly wasn’t testing one or two quick fireworks. It was about a 15 minute “show” with lots of big fireworks. Quite a treat—albeit a late one.
Wow, a full nearly 20 min fireworks show test at midnight with no notice to Epcot resort guests. Sorry y’all had to be startled out of bed, but wow - that seems an excellent sign that fireworks will be here soon.
For anyone looking for a video and more info:
FWIW, video just does not do those bursts justice imo. They were HUGE and very impressive...those who were disappointed by HEA’s emphasis on projections and not as much on the actual fireworks are in for a treat. This is going to be an incredible show.
If only you had known so you could have set up video from your excellently positioned room. You could be Disney blogger famous right now!

omg - this is great news!!
On a completely different note . . . we just had to switch our BCV villa reservation to a BC water view. I will definitely need to do at least one load of laundry while we are there - I looked on the BC map - it looks like there are two laundry rooms near the Tidal pool (quiet pool closest to EP). Does anyone know if these laundry rooms are open? Thanks!
Good to hear something going into that spot. We miss Ample Hills, the ice cream product there was so much better than Beaches and Cream in my opinion. And much more creative...
My daughter is said a couple weeks ago that one of her cm friends was recalled to work there. So I think it is legit.
Can you get the No Way Jose at the window? What about non ice cream food like fries?
confirmed, there were employees walking around yesterday (5/15) obviously discussing the chair arrangements, and today 5/16 they were closer together (I’m guessing from added chairs), though the signs about not moving the chairs due to 6’ distancing were still place.
I happened to unknowingly take a photo this morning; not sure how easy it is to see.View attachment 575603
We ordered No Way Jose sundaes from the take out window back in October 2020. Of course, that doesn't mean they will be on the new menu, but they were available at least when we were there.
Anyone have an update on SAB? Are there still lines to get in? Just wondering...........
Thanks for this information! We are going on Saturday so pretty imminent, but I know things are changing very quickly. We are actually thinking we will try to do uber to AK (knowing the surge pricing), but for MK bus seems easiest.
We are staying at the BC for the very first time (June 19-23). Can anyone tell me if the daybed in the standard room is a regular length, as versus one of those short ones that are for little kids? My kids are tall teens, so we need a bed that could sleep an adult. I'm planning to call to request this, but am not sure if I should request a room with a daybed, or instead a room that could fit a rollaway so it would be long enough (or even a sofabed, but I didn't book a deluxe room so I don't know if that's an option). Thanks for any info you have!
Anyone who has satiated lately (or currently), what time does the international gateway to Epcot actually open with the current 11 am opening time? How early do the ride actually start?
We were there this week as well, got into the line at IG around 10:20am and went straight to Frozen. I know we were off the ride by 11am.Anyone who has satiated lately (or currently), what time does the international gateway to Epcot actually open with the current 11 am opening time?

Thanks. That’s earlier than I expected. Was anything else open at that hour?I walked over from YC on Wednesday and got to the IG around 9:50. They let us through and lined us up on that little hill leading up to the UK-France bridge and held us there until 10. Soarin and TT are open but Soarin held us in the queue until 10:30, when they started the ride. Can’t speak on TT.
