A couple of news items today that MAY be of interest (sorry for the pun )

Grammy winning Brazilian artist Claudia Leitte will be playing Garden Rocks on 5/22 - 5/23. I am a Latin music fan, though I'm not familiar with her. But I checked her out on YouTube and she seems fun!

In other Epcot news, those of you looking forward to Regal Eagle Smokehouse will be happy to see some bunting was added to the exterior of the restaurant, and there's a cool looking poster with Sam the Eagle on it!

Congrats! That’s seriously awesome. I only wish I had thought to get married at Disney.

Wow, that’s amazing! Good luck and congrats! Maybe we’ll swing by before we go to AK that night for AH.

Lucky Mom! I hope you guys have fun.

Idk about anyone else, but I’m going nuts waiting on Flower & Garden menus. Hopefully we get them in the next few days so I have something else besides ROTR boarding groups to obsess over.

I did get my Leia bound dress for May the 4th in the mail though! Unfortunately it’s MUCH more sheer in person than the pic below, I’ll have to wear a slip beneath it so I don’t traumatize the younglings and padawans.

Hey everyone!! Just booked a trip for May 11-15. Staying at Movies!! Just my niece and me. Doing Villian’s After Hours and some other things we want to do.
Hopefully this trip will happen.

Same!! I love looking at the menus for every booth and deciding on all the good stuff to eat!!

 

[GBRforWDW]

Looks like the menus last year were released on Feb 13, so yeah, any day now... lol.

Just curious...are the food booths relatively new at the Flower & Garden Festival? We went in 2006 and 2010 and I remember lots of beautiful topiaries but never remember seeing any food booths...did I just miss something or is this something they started within the last 10 years?

 

[DisneyFanJenn]

Hi all! Couldn't pass up the AP discount so we are booked for May 8th - 11th at Gran Destino. Absolutely love F&G and can't wait for the violet lemonade.

I don’t know what year, but I believe it’s been within the last 5 years that they added the god booths.

Yeah they’re still fairly new, I want to say 2015 they started it? They saw what a cash cow the booths are at F&W and decided F& G needed them. Tbh even though there are far fewer booths, I think F&G has better and more interesting food.

Love crossing things off my list!

• Booked our 1 day car rental - we are staying at the Dolphin so renting a car at MCO, stopping at Publix and returning at Dolphin.
• Booked a scooter for my stepdad. Used Gold Mobility which has great reviews.
• And a last-minute addition - booked Cirque du Soleil!

Nice! I had no idea Cirque was bookable yet, I’ll have to look into that.

@kylenne I love it! Do you by chance have any sort of guide as to what kind of bounding is allowed and where Disney draws the line?

From where did you book cirque?

Here is the official Disney Parks blog post about it:
https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2019/08/dressing-for-your-visit-to-star-wars-galaxys-edge/
There’s a thread in the Star Wars section of TPAS too, I asked in there because I was worried that the sleeves made it go over the line into cosplay but consensus is that it would be fine.

From the research I’ve done, Disney is a bit inconsistent with the policy. I do have a backup Ahsoka bound that is much simpler, just in case.
