    Jazz Kitchen Seating Request?

    I was able to snag a cancelled reservation! We'll be there for the first time for lunch today! Where should we request to sit? I think ambiance is as important to me as the food. There won't be live music on a Wednesday at noon, will there?

    Favorite weekday lunch in Downtown Disney?

    We're driving to DLR today!! and when we arrive, we hope to have dinner at the Tangaroa Terrace. Before we head home on Wednesday, we'll have time for lunch in DD. Any suggestions? This trip is for my daughter's high school graduation. She loves exotic/ethnic foods. (Her favorite things to...

    Before midnight?

    Are you still allowed to jump in a line 5 minutes before the park closes? Do they ever try to discourage you from doing it?

    Favorite Galaxy's Edge Entrance?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I think for our first impression we'll go with the outer rim (middle entrance). Then we'll exit the resistance side and when we come back in again at night, we'll use the first order entrance. We'll be in Batuu in 4 days!!

    Rider Switch clarification at Disneyland

    Trips with extended family can be very tricky. Who gets to make the decisions? From who's watching the kids, to who chooses the rides, and where you eat. Everyone has invested time and money into the trip. For some, it's a greater sacrifice. The pressure to make a Disney trip worth it is already...

    ***Official DLR November 2021 Check-in Thread***

    My husband and I are bringing our 18 yr old for a graduation trip. She's never been with just us (she's the oldest of 5). It's fun that she gets to choose everything we do and eat! She's given me a list of must-dos and secondaries so I can plan our days. I'm so excited! We'll be in the parks Nov...

    Splash Mountain- a safe post

    I'm a redhead, so of course I was sometimes teased. I was also really skinny and from a poor family. I usually had out of date, ill-fitting clothes and holes in my shoes. But just because some people cruelly called me Little Orphan Annie doesn't mean there is a thing wrong with Annie. It just...

    I would instinctively think that it's wrong to take away the Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima brands. At first, it seemed to me that it would be taking away more black representation. But thinking about how someone here shared that Uncle and Aunt were actually lesser titles given by slave owning...

    A Year of Disney: The Cousins One Before All the Crazy (March 9-10 2020)

    What a cute dog! I think I enjoy old dogs more than puppies now. I can keep up with them better and they're more calm. :)

    However, if one actually reads the book, you'll find that there are as many differences in the black characters are you find in any group of race or culture. Some of the blacks are angry, some are fighters, some resilient, others timid or resigned, some proud, others humble. They are shown as...

    When people read Harriet Beecher Stowe's book, they could not believe it was accurate, either. They could not believe such horrendous things were actually being done to blacks in the south. So she published all her research in A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Do you have any recommendations from the...

    Hmm... You've given me things to think about. So the problem with Song of the South is that Uncle Remus is happy. (sorry, this got really long...) I read Uncle Tom's Cabin a couple years ago and found it heartbreaking and inspiring. While reading, I envisioned Uncle Tom as Uncle Remus; they are...

I've got new BoA checking and savings accounts and will...

    Thank you so much! It feels really nice to be remembered. 💗 2 weeks after our last Disneyland trip in September 2018, my husband lost his job. I'm a SAHM so it was pretty scary and stressful for a while. I had to stop thinking about Disney for a while because we were having trouble even paying...

    I disagree. As the OP, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions. I don't discredit anyone's thoughts, feelings, or experiences based on the color of their skin. Thanks for sharing the article. I'll check it out today.
