However, we will be there on Thursday October 1st and DW really wants to see Christopher Cross. She asked me to use fast pass to assure us of...

    Biergarten - Lunch vs Dinner

    Lunch at the Biergarten is a Do Not Miss for our family! We have visited Biergarten so many times that we have got to know several cast members. It is always less crowded than dinner (except during the weekends of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival).

    We arrived here on Wednesday afternoon. Went to EPCOT yesterday. Attendance is down. Not many lines and ADR's for most restaurants were not necessary. Caught Mickey's American Streetbeat at American Gardens Theater. Nice show. Ate at the Biergarden for lunch. Excellent meal. There were so few...

    Decline of Disney Dining?

    I have been visiting WDW since 1972 and dining at a Disney restaurant was always a "Must Do" during any visit. In the past few years since Magical express and DDP promo offers the dining has gone down hill so much that our family does not let ourselves locked to the "Property". We now rent a...

    tell me about 1900 Park Fare Supercalifragilistic Breakfast

    :mic:My family has been having breakfast at this location for many years. Although the level of the quality of the food is not what it once was it is still a must do for us! My first Disney film was Mary Poppins (yes you can wait in line in EPCOT at the UK to see her) it is much more enjoyable...

    What others hate but you love

    Can our friends join us at the DLH pool?

    I would say NO...that they would not be able to join you at the pool. The use of the pool is for GUESTS paying to stay at the hotel.

    Trading Pins

    There are "SPECIAL" pins that are VERY LIMITED in the number that Disney creates. Over the last 10 years I have been lucky enough to attend several PIN EVENTS at EPCOT - Walt Disney World. These events are 3 day affairs that give pin collectors several opportunities to have pin collecting and...

    Trading Pins

    They do make locking pin backs but I really only use them for very special pins that I don't plan on trading (plus they are much more expensive than the regular rubber pin backs). I just use the ones that come with the pins. You can by extra pin backs. They are sold almost everywhere you can...

    Trading Pins

    Off property dining for WDW Vets

    Being a WDW visitor over 40+ times we are looking for some of the places to eat that we enjoy down in Florida. One of the places is Sweet Tomatoes/Soup Plantation. We love this place and according to their website there is a location in Fullerton (about 10 minutes from DL). Has anyone had any...
