ProTip: party days are some of the best MK days ever. Crowds are super-low and it is easy to get done pretty much everything you want with time to spare.

For sure. Yeah, it sucks you can't have a full day there, but when many don't even bother going it does wonders for wait times.

Party season is pretty much the most valuable time to add a hopper too. It’s great for doing that!

We love the night shows so between popping in for those and low crowd party days, the cost is worth it. Plus for DVC or Deluxe, the hopper removes the need to tie your park day to the EEH. Definitely worth consideration this time of year.

This update should surprise nobody:

The Cake Bake Shop no longer expected to open in 2023 at Walt Disney World

The official Cake Bake Shop website has been updated to remove mention of opening in 2023.

Disney can't build a freaking restaurant on time and Universal is building a whole new park .

I’m hoping that they are reconsidering the concept. Was this a Chapek brainchild?

This isn’t a Disney restaurant. I imagine it’s the Cake Bake Shop that’s slow walking this.

With as slow as Tron was to be built and the glacially slow.pace of the work in Epcot continues to be, I doubt very much the owner of the Cake Bake Shop is dragging their feet to get a cash cow like this up and running. YmMV

Construction in this instance is on the Cake Bake Shop. Disney has been collecting rent from them since construction started.

I'm at the acceptance stage in that I can be okay knowing that WDW gets the table scrap offerings compared to Disneyland (and international parks).
