    Counter Service At DHS - What's The Best Of The Worst?

    I love DHS choices of table service restaurants, but always have had trouble choosing a CS. Years ago the ABC Commissary had a unique and tasty menu but not any longer. On my last trip we did TS for lunch at SciFi and then for dinner left the park and took the boat to the BW area and ate a...

    Weather in december...

    The year we went in December (2007, the 2nd week) we switched out items in our suitcases daily leading up to our departure. We had a 2 to 1 ratio pants to shorts to start. By the time we left it was all shorts after watching the forecast in advance. Even have a picture of my 5 yo son wearing a...

    Spending a day at Ft. Wilderness?

    It's been 5-6 years since I've been to FW, but there used to be a hiking trail that was accessed from behind the store near the lake. Also at Christmas (but I'm not sure as early as Thanksgiving) a lot of regulars really go all out in decorating their campsite for the holiday. Pony rides used to...

    For those who have recently dined at Restaurantosaurus at Animal Kingdom......

    Just there a week ago today. Didn't know I'd come across this question so I didn't super pay attention but I'm pretty sure they were. I'm picturing the bun as I took my burger up to the toppings bar and I think it was toasted. BTW, our one misstep in CS last week was not eating here earlier...

    Hollywood & Vine Dinner

    All I have is that I was talking to another guest last week while we were in a line and got talking about where we had eaten. His trip was almost done so he had 6 or 7 TS under his belt and said H & V was by far the worst. He'd never go back and never recommend it. We moved on to happier and...

    For 2,000+ Mile Round-Trip Drivers Only! (III)

    Just got home today. From Lorain, Ohio and back 2214 on the trip odometer. Only drove a tiny bit extra. Drove to Winter Summerland for mini-golf from Pop Century, drove to the Contemporary and then DtD before heading out Friday, and all 3 overnight stays (1 SB, 2 NB) were within eyesight (and...

    On Thursday the 10th at noon while waiting to be taken to our car they quoted a party of 2 an hour wait w/o ADR and wouldn't accept their request for dinner reservations.

    Boardwalk Bakery

    We were just there at 5 pm for dinner on 11-10-11. Still seemed like they had plenty. I had the roast beef and blue sandwich and got the Oreo Mickey ears cupcake.

    Rapunzel Magic Kingdom Meet & Greet Times?

    We did November 7th and 8th at MK. On the 7th at rope drop we went to Fantasyland for Dumbo, etc. At some point that day we walked over to where I thought Rapunzel was just to scope it out for the 8th. The CM said the wait was 1 HR 45 MIN. We decided to make that our first thing after rope drop...

    Tangierine Cafe dessert question

    I am seriously considering Tangierine Cafe for our upcoming November trip. It seems to have gotten some good reviews and the pictures from (at least) the Disney food blog look great. My question is that we are on the DP, does anyone know what type of "additional pastries" are offered? I don't...

    Bizzare Foods at WDW?

    I remember getting fried fried plantains as a side at ABC Commisary about 8 years ago and my DW and I thought we living on the edge. Back then I wouldn't touch hummus with a ten foot pole, either. What is bizarre to me might be a weekly menu item for someone raised on another culture.

    Verify a Ticket Question Please

    Hi. We have 4 day MYW passes bought at the Disney Store before the June price increase. We booked a dining package which required at least a 1 day MYW pass(es) added to our KTTK. We are going to be at the parks for 5 days. If I understood this correctly it would be a lot cheaper to add that...

    Richard Petty Driving Experience...safety?

    Like a PP said you wear a firesuit and a HANS device. But back in 2000 when I did the Ride-Along (my dad did it recently) I wore shorts and tshirt, no firesuit, and just a simple helmet. This was of course before Dale Earnhardt's accident when the HANS device came into (much needed) popularity...

    MK Barber Shop

    Thank you for answering leajess99. The first week of November my 5YO DD and myself will be there, just us. All I can do is put her (long) hair in a haphazard ponytail or brush it very nice for a headband. Her mother does some really nice french braiding in her hair but we aren't together...
