    Party of 4 becomes party of 5

    Another adult in your party can also try to get a separate 2-person ADR at the same restaurants at a similar time, often easier than trying for a larger res. We’ve done that several times when other guests join our trip after initial plans are made. When you get to the restaurant, you can ask if...

    Dining Review: Labor Day Weekend with Every Kind of Appetite You Can Imagine! (Vegan, Non-Vegan, Allergy, Drinkers, etc.)

    Day 4, Sept. 3, part 2: Snacking around Food & Wine booths Dinner tonight was on our own. Various members of our party were hanging out at WL with other relatives who didn't have park tickets or taking long naps before heading to eat/drink around the world at Epcot. My DS's and I had to make it...

    Last: Swan (arrival night), Poly DVC, Aug/Sept 2023. Next: All Star Movies (arrival night), POR, Dec 2023. This is a last minute trip just planned over the past few weeks. Staying in a Royal Room over a long weekend. So excited.

    Dining Review: Labor Day Weekend with Every Kind of Appetite You Can Imagine! (Vegan, Non-Vegan, Allergy, Drinkers, etc.)

    Day 4, Sept. 3, part 1: Food & Wine snacks and drinks at Epcot, lunch at Space 220 The day started with an early alarm for a GoG Cosmic Rewind virtual queue attempt, and once that was successfully accomplished, we took our time (aka, I took a nap and my DS's slept through the early wakeup call)...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    I know this post is from Sept, but I just want to say there are dog friendly royal rooms. Beyond the fact I’ve seen recent YouTube tours of royal rooms with dogs (who were very obviously not service dogs), my family also has an upcoming trip booked in royal rooms and one group in our party will...

    Dining Review: Labor Day Weekend with Every Kind of Appetite You Can Imagine! (Vegan, Non-Vegan, Allergy, Drinkers, etc.)

    Day 3, Sept. 2, part 2: Drinking at Animal Kingdom, snacks at the Polynesian, dinner in Epcot Something about being at WDW, especially Animal Kingdom, makes me crave cold beer. So after riding Everest, our family made our traditional post-roller coaster stop at Thirsty River Bar, where I got a...

    Dining Review: Labor Day Weekend with Every Kind of Appetite You Can Imagine! (Vegan, Non-Vegan, Allergy, Drinkers, etc.)

    Sorry for the delay in this update, but work got nuts! Good nuts, but still nuts lol. Day 3, Sept. 2, part 1: 'Ohana! Our ADR at 'Ohana was at 8:30 the Saturday after MNSSHP. Breakfast at 'Ohana is a bit of a tradition for my two DS's and I when we're at WDW. My youngest has always loved...

    Dining Review: Labor Day Weekend with Every Kind of Appetite You Can Imagine! (Vegan, Non-Vegan, Allergy, Drinkers, etc.)

    Day 2, Sept. 1, part 2: Eating at MNSSHP After Round Up, we split ways with my sister and brother-in-law. My DS's wanted to look into getting a droid and light saber (something we weren't able to do on a previous trip due to circumstances), so we made sure to get that long awaited task out of...

    Dining Review: Labor Day Weekend with Every Kind of Appetite You Can Imagine! (Vegan, Non-Vegan, Allergy, Drinkers, etc.)

    Day 2, Sept. 1, part 1: Breakfast at the Swan, Second Breakfast and Lunch Hollywood Studios Lights weren't out until after midnight, but I still woke up just after 7 a.m. I was too excited to get back to sleep (and figured I could nap in-between park visits), so I left DS's sleeping and headed...

    Dining Review: Labor Day Weekend with Every Kind of Appetite You Can Imagine! (Vegan, Non-Vegan, Allergy, Drinkers, etc.)

    My extended family recently returned from a 5-night trip over Labor Day weekend. We had a large party (ten plus most meals) with a variety of dining requirements, from vegan, to decidedly non-vegan, to a few with allergies, to people who prefer a pescatarian/vegetarian diet most meals (though...

    Looking for more recent reviews on Roundup Rodeo BBQ.

    Just had lunch there with a few meat eaters and one vegan. They will bring the vegan option to the table with the serving size based on the number of people eating vegan. Likewise, the regular barbecue platter is sized to the number of meat eaters. Not a problem accommodating both eating styles...

    Looking for more recent reviews on Roundup Rodeo BBQ.

    We ate there on Friday, September 1. Party of 5, all adults, mixture of vegans and non-vegan. It took us 1.5 hours, maybe a little more to get in and out. Food was pretty amazing all around. We also grabbed our reservation the night before (and I had plenty of times to choose from). Seated right...

    Arrival Day Dining Recommendation

    Personally, I’d stay at CBR and eat at Sebastian’s or at Riviera, or take the Skyliner to a Boardwalk area restaurant. I just find the bus to DS tiring on arrival day (and the walk through the DS maze is very tiring too, even on less crowded days). Recently stayed at CBR and had an arrival day...

    Staying at POP vs. Port Orleans RS

    My kids hated POP. Didn’t like the room size (it was really small for one adult and two older elementary aged kids), didn’t enjoy the pool after the first day (they love slides so got bored quickly), and they found the outdoor theming over the top. I personally love the skyliner (based on trips...

    Space 220 reservation and dining watch app

    I used the one on Touring Plans. I’ve had about 90% success with it over several years. I’ve been unlucky in some cases because some restaurants just don’t see many cancellations (experiencing that with Storybook Dining this trip, just nothing for a party of 2) and sometimes I’m looking for...

    Space 220 reservation and dining watch app

    For 8 it might be hard. Not impossible if you’re lucky. Splitting the party into two groups of 4 might work better. I recently had success with a dining watch app getting a table for four at Space 220 in the exact timeframe I wanted. The notification came about two weeks out from our trip, and...

    Leprosy outbreak… Is WDW safe?

    The "huge" surge is being sensationalized, as mentioned, and beyond that, anyone still worried should simply read more about Hansen's Disease before making a decision to visit Florida. Hansen's Disease is very treatable, involving multiple antibiotic drug therapy over the course of about two...

    Ohana or Cali Grill?

    Personally, I'd disregard the "if your kids are between this age and this age, then this restaurant is a one size fits all" advice. I've done 'Ohana dinner, done the fireworks on Poly's beach more than once, done Cali Grill, done fireworks viewing on Cali Grill's terrace several times. I have...
