    ***Can't keep us down...OFFICIAL MAY 2021 THREAD...come heck or high water we're going to WDW!!!***

    We were originally scheduled for this past May also. Changed to Oct and my college aged daughter's fall break got cancelled so now I'm on hold hoping to change to arrival May 20, 2021. I've been at this since 7am! Took me 3 hours to get through and now been on hold for a little over 2. I'm...

    ***Can't keep us down...OFFICIAL MAY 2021 THREAD...come heck or high water we're going to WDW!!!***

    Oh my word, I might be losing my mind. I have been hitting redial since 7am - got through to find out they changed the time to 8am and have been hitting redial ever since. If and when I do get through, I am hoping to change my existing Oct, 2020 reservation to May, 2021. Am I correct that if...

    What happened to Ohana's

    I've been there when it was a wonderful experience, seated within a reasonable time frame, wonderful character interaction (breakfast), awesome fresh, hot food, friendly, attentive service. It is a memorable experience when it's like that!! I've also been there seated in a crowded, cranky lobby...

    LTT lunch on arrival day

    FWIW, that has not been my experience. Any issues with flights and they have been happy to cancel reservations outright. Just giving them a call has done the trick for me!

    LTT lunch on arrival day

    We always let Magical Express handle our bags and we do online check-in, so we will just drop any carry-ons with bell services and hit the bus. Especially on an early arrival like that where there is a good chance the room won't be ready. You can't go wrong with counter service either, but if...

    Character Meal Reservation question?

    If you are booking a place that has characters for that particular meal (ie, breakfast, lunch or dinner - as some places have characters for only breakfast or breakfast and lunch), you don't need to be aware of what times they will appear. They will be there for the whole time frame of the...

    Free dining and difficult ADRs?

    You will be fine at 180 days out, IMO! :flower1:

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    I just watched a youtube video from Princess and the Bear where they went to Storybook Dining and she ate vegan options and he had the usual menu. They had full vegan choices for every course (3 appetizers, etc), so I am sure they would be able to sub. I was so excited to see this because I am...

    A Trip Without Dining Reservations

    I've only decided on table service last minute a couple of times, but they are some of my favorite meal memories! Last trip DD and I decided at the last minute to try the Wave for breakfast and it was out of this world! A nice change of pace from the extremely hectic, chaotic scene at, say...

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    I just looked at the menu for the new quick service at Caribbean Beach resort (Centertown Market) since we'll be staying there in March for the first time in a couple years. Oh my word! What looks to be a vegan salad, vegan seitan "cheese steak" complete with vegan mayo, plant-based tacos...

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    I can only speak for myself, but I was always a big meat lover. I ate it for 45 years of my life with great relish. I loved the taste of fish and chips, burgers, etc! When I became vegan it wasn't because I didn't like the taste of those foods, it was because one day I woke up and I could no...

    Will we make it to breakfast on time

    if we have an ADR for Garden Grill at 9:55am and attempt to RD Soarin' first? So far the park opening is 9am. Thanks for opinions!

    Which day for MK Easter weekend?

    Will you have park hoppers in case you decide to bail? That is going to be cra-ZY at MK. I was there one of those days within a couple days of Easter and I just had to laugh, I had never seen it like that before! I'm talking shoulder to shoulder through the entire park, no personal body...

    If You Were to . . .

    hehe, I chuckled also when I saw "first (and probably only) trip", as when my daughter was 6 (my only), I had the same plan. She'll be 18 in a couple months and I think we've been maybe 11 times since that first delicious, truly life-changing trip! She and I are going back for one last hurrah...

    Spring break trip jitters- HELP!

    I have been on Spring Break in the past, and will be going again this year (a couple weeks earlier). My advice is to pay attention to the crowd calendars and some of the "rules" the DISers talk about (don't go to MK on Monday, avoid EMH, eat counter service at off times, etc). When the crowds...

    Favorite Lunch in Hollywood Studios

    It's Pizza Rizzo now, a Muppets themed pizza place. I haven't tried it yet but I remember the cupcakes at Pizza Planet being really good too!

    T-Rex vs. Rainforest Cafe

    I love them both but I'd definitely go with T-Rex since you haven't been! Also you can call them directly if you can't get a good time through Disney's ADR system - they keep some of the reservations for themselves to book since they are not a Disney restaurant (at least last time I did it).

    Breakfast at The Wave or Whispering Canyon???

    I love the Wave's breakfast, one of the best I've had at Disney, but I agree it takes longer than one would think to get over to the Contemporary and might be stressful on a departure morning. I love the idea of taking the quick boat to FW and going to Trail's End (even though I've never been...

    No Lids

    I bring my own paper straws and bamboo sporks around at home, I use reusable shopping bags, drive an economy car, and practice a plant-based diet. I consider the straw thing to be symbolic, in that every time I turn down a straw, my mind automatically goes to what other ways I can cut my...
