"Vacation in Ohio" is very weird to this life-time Ohioan.Though, to be fair, I use the majority of my vacation time around the state. Hope it's a good vacation.
My friend just got back and felt like EPCOT was surprisingly uncrowded, but MK was "a nightmare."
There's also the hidden Pascals! I love looking around for those.
And there are some cool Hidden Mickeys.
We always stop there at least once, because they are the coolest bathrooms on property. We usually get a goofy picture, because we love to joke about some Princesses getting more than one attraction, while poor Rapunzel got to use her talents on some bathrooms.
Don’t forget to look on the ground for Maximus hoof prints
We've celebrated all of our birthdays at WDW this year, from February-Memorial day weekend week trip and had a mix of success. For my kids I put at every ADR (and we had one every single day) that we had a birthday and we had only one on each trip actually do something. Each time it was a cupcake with mickey sprinkles. When we went for my and my husbands birthdays recently absolutely nothing was done at any meal, and we had a ton of ADRs, my husband even mentioned to our waitress at Brown Derby that we were celebrating birthdays and she was just like "well that's nice". We didn't want lots of stuff done, but he was expecting at least a Happy Birthday or something (I think he secretly wanted a cupcake lol). So, your miles may vary right now, especially as restaurants get busier they sometimes just don't notice as it usually is printed on the ticket on the table they just don't look.
So, I just texted my friend that works with numbers at WDW this question about international travelers (because honestly I am curious myself). Her reply "hardly any, I'd say at this very moment probably less than 100 but I don't have the numbers in front of me". She has told me in the past a bulk of international travelers are from Europe, second being from Asia (mainly areas like Japan and India), and "certain areas in South America" which I think we all know where those are lol. None of those areas are really letting people travel easily right now, or the US isn't letting them, so unless they have the resources they aren't coming.
bummer... such a difference from past years. I know a lot is different etc. Just seems like it wouldn't be too hard to add a little extra for the special occasions. I was a waitress for a few years and it was never a hassle to add a little extra for a birthday.
I agree. We were there last week for our 25th anniversary. Had it noted on our reservation. Wore our pins. Sanaa and Narcoose’s were the only ones who recognized it at all for meals. Lots of CMs did wish us a happy anniversary, so at least that was nice. In the past we’ve gotten a champagne toast or a cupcake so we didn’t have high expectations, but thought maybe for a “big” anniversary we’d see a little more magic.
Happy Anniversary!!
Thank you!Happy Anniversary!!
Thank you!

Ugh. I'm so happy we decided to stay the Contemporary so we can just walk in (and out!) whenever we can. I have a feeling our time at MK might be in shorter spurts than normal.Thank you!
