    Wow...Easiest ADRs ever?

    Absolutely agree. Lunch was awesome there before. The french dip sandwich was excellent and having your choice of seating area along with the drink station were nice touches. Sure it was a little higher of a price for what was considered a quick service but you knew ahead you were paying for...

    Trader Joe’s increased the price of bananas to 23 cents each

    Can anyone find out how much WDW has upped the price of 1 banana in the past 20 years? My guess is way more than 4 cents. Ha!

    Wow...Easiest ADRs ever?

    Agree with your sentiment completely but there was something satsifying, even rewarding, as going "wow, can't believe we got Cinderella's Royal Table for 12 of us on the day and time we wanted" right after that frantic timeframe of making ADR's. The planning alone on who from your group was...

    Out Of State APs Continue To Take A Beating

    The only thing I was confused on was only being able to hold 5 days of park reservations at a time. So if a family (out of town or Florida resident) is staying at a Disney property, they can only book up to 5 park day reservations at a time? What if it's a 7 to 10 day trip? They're just...

    Disney has (or plans to) remove just about every on property perk we cared about

    Don't forget the free resort parking for guests that is now gone. Yes at most it's only $25/night at the deluxe resorts, but still a pretty good perk that was removed for on-site guests.

    Rationing again?

    Same. I couldn't find any straws, liquid egg whites or brussels sprouts last trip. But they'll be there in full stock next trip I'm sure.

    Rationing again?

    From working with Cape Cod, they have significant labor shortages and ingredient supply problems (trickle down from other companies shortages - oil, potatoes, spices, etc.) and haven't been running to full capacity. Some weeks are good, others are awful. I've seen this across a few other food...

    Do you workout on vacation?

    Yes. If we are at WDW, then I typically run the Crescent Lake area, although on previous trips I was permitted to go through the Hollywood Studios parking lot to stretch my miles but the last trip security stopped me and would not let me us it. Even at the 6 am hour! But I'll also use the...

    Rising Resale Prices

    Hahaha. So so so so true. I was talking to DW early in pandemic going "How many weeks do we want at the GF Villas?".

    Rising Resale Prices

    I thought about buying last year but with all the economy noise on the news figured "they'll probably be a crash at some point and prices will hit rock bottom". Obviously waiting it out now, but heck it could go up even more from this point.

    Are park hoppers still worth it?

    I'd say a year from now, yes they'd be worth it. We had them when we were there last week and they were definitely worth it as we hopped almost everyday. Capacity should be higher by May 2022 as well.

    READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

    7 seconds is long for what I saw last week. I had the apple clock open (so I new the exact split second it hit 7:00 am) and they were gone easily by 7:00:03. I think it depends on the day honestly. Somedays may be gone within a few seconds, some days may make it longer.

    READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

    I was there last week and they were holding people right at the merge spot where you get off from buses, the Skyliner lets off and the walk ups from Crescent Lake area. Prior years I could go through the HS parking lot to get some extra mileage on my morning run, but that was a no-no this year...

    READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

    Went 2 for 3 last week and was grabbing them for all of our party of 18. The day we didn't get it my phone hiccupped for a second. Amazing how many people I saw out at 7 am in the Crescent lake area. A lot standing on the bridges b/c they thought they higher they were would help versus...

    What has exceeded your expectations?

    Hawaii. I thought it would be one of those places that were overrated due to all the hype, but there isn't a single day I don't think about going back.

    How to book dining reservation for a large group

    We had a lot of trouble doing this recently. But we are going with 16 people! For several restaurants we had to book 3 tables and just get the reservation times as close as possible (i.e. 2 tables at 5 pm, 1 table at 5:10). It definitely helps to use the MDE account of others in your group...

    Cast iron skillet

    Depends on how much you use it. I tend to only use paper towels, however when someone else uses my cast irons pan (cough cough.....DW....cough), then there tends to be build up that requires the chain mail cleaner & a little extra elbow grease. So I have to re-season lightly after each use...

    Cast iron skillet

    As most have said, Lodge is a great brand and affordable. I've had the same set for the longest time. I do only wash mine with water and paper towels unless soap is needed, but I also season a little bit after every use. Just a drop of oil and heated up on the range, then cool down and...

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    Haven't been able to get into the game since the update. Just spinning at the load screen. They should restore Streak progress too, as it's not most users fault that was lost. Doubt they'll do that though.

    Wolfgang Puck Express closed for good

    Ordered that dish a number of times. Never disappointed. Easily one of the best counter service credits if on DDP and not bad if value for money if paying cash. Sadly I don't think this is the last place in DS that will close in the next 12 months.
