    Whispering Canyon ??

    I have a question, looking at the dinner menu online. I enjoy barbecue chicken, ribs, sausage, pulled pork, etc, but not all at the same time. In other words, from what I see, the foods I am interested in only come in the "All You Care To Eat Platter" I am not a big eater, yet these are...

    overplanning

    I hate the fact that one has to plan....in the old days it did not matter all that much. But now, for starters, you have to know where you are going to eat everyday. Plus you have to book your FP+ well in advance... So you have to select what park you will be in, your FP, and dinning long...

    Theoretically, the moment they scan you magic band at he airport to board the bus, the big computer in the sky knows you have arrived.... Plus, from what I have been reading, a CS Rep with a tablet meets you when you get off the bus and scans you magic band....then that is all you need to...

So you do need to...
