    Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction

    Ugh...why are they doing this MerchPass thing??? I tried to sign in today but when I logged on I received the message "Sorry this sweepstakes is limited to U.S. only". As I am in Canada, apparently I can't even attempt to get a MerchPass. Thanks Disney :(

    Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction

    So I just went on the website now after trying multiple times when the site initially 'opened' and after taking a break to do some gardening and I was able to order the Minnie plush. As soon as my ordered was processed, I went back to check and it is now sold out. I am doubtful that I will...

    When Does Online Booking Open for 2021?

    Thanks very much for the info! So if we were to assume that they were going to release rates around June (which may or may not happen it sounds like), does that mean that I would be able to book a room only reservation for 2021 online at that point? Right now, the only dates available for...

    When Does Online Booking Open for 2021?

    Hello everyone...I'm sure that this has been discussed numerous times on these boards but I can't find the specific info via the search function. I had read somewhere that you can book via phone 499 days out (not sure if I am recalling that number correctly) but wanted to know specifically when...

    Has anyone ordered from Shop Disney since the border tightened up?

    I have an extra unused Orange Bird sipper cup that we got at the F&G Festival last year. I would be happy to send it to you although would understand if you wanted to wait until this whole COVID-19 situation has died down significantly :).

    Has anyone ordered from Shop Disney since the border tightened up?

    Thought I would share my recent ordering experience from Shop Disney...when I first tried to shop on the website, I wasn't successful in placing an order. I kept getting the message that there are no shipping options available for my address. I contacted customer service and they indicated...

    Fabulous Deals Coming

    I cannot like this post enough!! This whole situation has tuned me into the concept of comparative suffering...it really is quite interesting and very indicative of what people are feeling during these uncertain times. I am all for having something to look forward to :)

    *** Official August 2020 thread ***

    These are all excellent points! I moved our trip from the last week in June to the last week of August but I just don’t know if it makes sense for us to go then. If the resort has not returned to full operations, it’s very hard for me to justify spending that amount of money for only a partial...

    International travel restrictions

    I’m glad you brought this up because I don’t think everyone would necessarily think of this once we get the greenlight to travel. I was actually just thinking about this yesterday because I have a trip to Disney planned for later this year but it’s just too risky in my opinion to go without...

    Take me back to our Happy Place - a July 2020 PTR * BRIEF update 5/27*

    I am really looking forward to reading your PTR! The “Chris list of enjoyable things” made me subscribe (sooo funny and also relatable as a mother of teens) and we also have a trip planned for late June/early July although I’ve also booked for late August given the uncertainty. I can’t seem...

    Thermometer?

    Just a small tip...I couldn’t find thermometers anywhere either but I searched for one of those new baby health/grooming kits on Amazon, some of which had thermometers, and I was able to order one for immediate delivery. It’s been years since I’ve had any babies at home so I have no use for...

    Copycat Dole Whip recipe?

    No problem! I'm in Canada so I buy it from Magical Flavors which I believe is based in the US and therefore also ships there. Here is the link to their website: https://www.softservemixworldwide.com/ Also, I use this video for instructions on how to use the mix to make dole whip at home. It...

    Copycat Dole Whip recipe?

    I haven't tried the copycat recipes but I use the Dole soft serve mix in one of those old fashioned ice cream makers (where you use ice and rock salt and it slowly churns the product). I'm not sure how easy it would be to get the mix currently (or whether people would want it delivered or not...

    Thank you DopeyDame! I will definitely make sure that it is an *ask* and try to present the request in as non-confrontational a way as possible.

    Need Advice From First Responders re: COVID-19

    I agree with you HeatherC and jalapeno_pretzel that it is worth a discussion and so I am going to try to talk to him about this but I imagine I'm probably going to get a 'business as usual' response from him. And thank you lorimay...I will definitely try to relax :)

    Have your kids begged you for this video game yet?

    My daughters (ages 15 and 19) have been talking about this for a while and are eagerly anticipating the release date :)
