    Picky Eater - Can we bring food from another restaurant?

    Definitely meant to put “detested” in quotes. I was a little surprised some felt so strongly about other people’s food preferences. I was just looking for options so my family could enjoy meal time together. 😊

    Picky Eater - Can we bring food from another restaurant?

    Wow, I’m amazed at the responses and perspectives provided - thank you! Yep, my guy is about texture - cooked veggies, pasta by the boatload, macaroni and cheese, pizza, chicken nuggets, and his dad’s sweet tooth. We have tried very hard to not make food a battle for either of our children -...

    Picky Eater - Can we bring food from another restaurant?

    You are correct, but I worry that my child picky eater will be a detested adult picky eater. He is a work in progress!

    Picky Eater - Can we bring food from another restaurant?

    This is great perspective - thank you. We are heavy tippers and would account for that, but the perception is important. Also, I am the least rule-breaker, boundary pusher I know, so we'll definitely go a different route!

    Picky Eater - Can we bring food from another restaurant?

    This is exactly what I was thinking...he's the most easy-going little dude, just wish he would expand his food horizons a bit. Maybe at Food and Wine...

    Picky Eater - Can we bring food from another restaurant?

    Thank you for the quick response! Yes, we often pick from the kids’ menu but unfortunately nothing popped out to him from Steakhouse 71.

    Picky Eater - Can we bring food from another restaurant?

    I have 3 foodies and 1 picky eater in my family. We would really like to visit Steakhouse 71/Lounge but there is nothing on the menu that appeals to my son. Is there any chance he could bring an item from Contempo Cafe into the restaurant or lounge?

    MNSSHP 2022 Check-in -- Dates, Costumes, and More!

    We'll be there on opening night as Muppet Babies! We attended opening night of 2019 and it was busy, but we still had a great time. Now I know how to plan a little better and to take advantage of the lower crowds when people (especially with littles) leave after the fireworks and last parade.

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    We pre-make envelopes with Thank You notes (and tip) for Mousekeeping. That way I don't accidentally use my tip money - ha! Our kiddos have helped decorate the envelopes in the past - kind of a fun family tradition.

    Excited for Upcoming Trip Despite Current Issues

    We have stayed at DLH for the holidays, but this is a first at the Grand (bucket list item for sure!). We were able to snag Dapper Day rates for our visit. We love attending during Dapper Days - there is such a fun energy from the people that walk through the parks in their finest! I know it...

    Excited for Upcoming Trip Despite Current Issues

    Another PNW Disney fan here - we will be there in two weeks, when crowds will likely be even more crazy for a first peek at the holidays. Our family is also setting realistic expectations and heading in knowing things will be different. As long as I hear Christmas music, see holiday decorations...

    It is our only option too. It's our first (and likely only) MNSSHP and we are just going in with open minds, low expectations, and hoping for a little magic along the way. I'm sure we'll have a blast! Enjoy!

    Storytellers Character Brunch Menu

    *o* August Check-In Thread *o*

    Both E-Ticket and D-Ticket pools closed at DLH until late Spring '16?

    Well that is a bummer. I wonder how late "Late Spring 2016" is...we will be there for Dapper Days (and apparently Bats Day) at the end of April and were hoping to escape to the pools as well. Thank you, MommyJKM for the great tips; as always, the Dis makes things a bit more positive in the...
