    Trip planned for April 13th...would you cancel??

    I’m supposed to be going down for the Star Wars race weekend, April 16-19. I’ve basically resigned myself to it not happening at this point, but I am going to wait until Disney confirms before I cancel anything.

    What 'unusual' thing is sold out at your supermarket?

    Weirdly, broccoli crowns. I didn’t even want broccoli until I saw that giant empty space. 😂 I wanted some dried lentils but all that was left was three bags of black eyed peas and a bunch of pearled barley.

    DoD domestic travel Ban

    The part that I’m concerned about is near the end: “military members are only authorized local leave.” That implies that non-local leave is not authorised.

    The Q

    It’s not the job of the marginalised person to educate others—it’s the job of the others to educate themselves. Also Pride exists because it’s not enough to be a “non-factor” while discrimination still exists—we have to be loud, proud, unapologetic, and unforgettable.

    The Q

    It does mean queer. Sometimes people try to make it mean questioning, but when questioning is included in the ‘alphabet soup’ it is usually as an addition, meaning there are two Qs. Yes, queer has been a slur, which is precisely why many of us use it. It’s a giant middle finger to the people...

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    My biggest issue with the non-veggie fake meat is that I’ve been veggie for so long that I truly can’t tell anymore on my own whether or not these ‘meats’ are actually fake. I live in mild dread of someone ‘messing up’ and giving me actual meat instead. At least with actual veggie patties you...

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Shopping and Merchandise: Savi’s, Droid Depot and More!

    Happened with mine too. I did some digging online and discovered that it’s the crystal insertion sound—apparently the saber is always ‘on’ if the crystal is in. I took the crystal out and the sound went away. I’m going to have to exchange my chassis anyway though, because in the intervening time...

    Is there a ride/attraction you won't go on?

    The only one I haven’t done at all is RnR; I don’t like dark coasters. I’ve done ToT a couple times because I love the Twilight Zone, but I hate the actual ride and only do it maybe once a decade. As I’ve aged Everest is less fun unless I’m in the front (milder ride) and I have to skip MS...

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Shopping and Merchandise: Savi’s, Droid Depot and More!

    I’m no expert because I don’t own one yet, but I got to hold one at the merch preview at Star Wars Celebration—they are metal, very heavy and solid. I was impressed. I believe they are meant to stand up to some contact but are probably not rated for intense seven-year-old combat. They do have...

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Shopping and Merchandise: Savi’s, Droid Depot and More!

    Someone on another thread yesterday suggested making a brand new, blank MDE account for Savi’s/Droid Depot. It worked for me; I just put in my information as normal on the participant screen and saved my time and confirmation number as a note in my real MDE plans.

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Shopping and Merchandise: Savi’s, Droid Depot and More!

    So far I can get confirmed reservations on any date I’m not actually there (have gone all the way through and gotten confirmations, then cancelled immediately because hey, I’m not gonna be there). It’s literally just my actual travel dates that are the issue. What a headache.

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Shopping and Merchandise: Savi’s, Droid Depot and More!

    Is anyone else having this specific issue? I can pull up times for Savi’s for every single day in October *except* for the days I’m there. Day before I arrive? Availability. Day after I leave? Plenty of openings. Every day of my trip? “Something went wrong. Please try again.”

    "Official" 2019 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Frightfully Festive Celebration

    I’ve heard a lot about going to guest services to prioritize tickets, or linking party tickets to secondary MDE profiles and using a hard ticket for entry to ensure that a regular park day is not used. However, I’m not clear on this—if I link the party ticket to my primary MDE and use the hard...

    Priceline Express Deals

    Yep, this is exactly what I did for a quick trip last weekend. Booked POFQ on an express deal about a month out, linked it to MDE with no problem, then chose magicbands and signed up for ME. Trip went off without a hitch.

    Villains After Hours - Solo?

    I’m doing it solo in 8 days. I actually like doing stuff like this alone—nobody to tell me I can’t ride BTMRR seven times in a row. :)

    Solo Afternoon tea at GF?

    I did tea alone a few years ago and it was lovely. I brought a book and took my time; I never felt rushed and the server was extra nice to me. I wish I could remember her name! It’s not actually a very fancy place, and I didn’t feel out of place or weird at all.

    Foodie Guide to the 2018 Disney Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure Park

    Do we know what’s “officially” vegetarian yet or will we not know until the 9th? Everything at Winter Wonders looks like it *should* be, but then again I’m always surprised by what they’ll put bacon or chicken broth in.

    OFFICIAL 2018 Christmas & Holiday Time at DLR Superthread!!

    I’m feeling the same about our early December trip. It’s my first time back in 13 years and not one of the nighttime entertainment options I’ve been told are absolutely essential and the best of any park in the world are showing at all. Not even Fantasmic is showing. I mean, I’ll still have fun...
