Does anyone know if you need a 100% disabled veteran ID card for the salute tickets at SOG?

My understanding is yes.

I'm not who you're quoting, but have they published the prices? I doubt we're going, but it's fun to think about if the price is right! lol

Sorry, I haven't heard anything about the NBA experience

Here you go!

Did anyone else submit a ticket request for the event?

 

[BigBlueWho]

HOLY SMOKES SoG just told me they won't be selling tickets for the 29th or 31st.

SoG called you?!

They did! We tried to call back but we were routed to a different place and she just put us back on the call back list.

Dang; we didn't get called/I called to check. I may end up cancelling part of my trip over the lack of tickets.

 

[sweetyk83]

Got the call and paid for our tickets! Yay!

For anyone who is down there now, any word on Garden Gallery opening back up?

When Brian was admin, it was a much better run page.

I had my own run in of sorts with the admins, I posted a thread asking about why September was fully booked.
I was lucky enough to grab a reservation early on but soon after it was totally booked by a “group”. There had been other posts speculating which remained open for comment. I was simply asking if there was any new info about it. People had some reasonable speculations but the thread was locked. Shortly after was the post about only posting verified info.
I think it’s silly to remove friendly discussion from the site. Also by locking posts you’re actually making information HARDER to find, as you said earlier info changes! Now instead of everything being contained to one post it’s spread in different posts.
Really disappoints me. It hasn’t always been like this either.

September and October are completely booked, yet asking on that page if they are booking at capacity unleashed a whole new set of drama about the “military, risking jobs and false information”. . I just called. They are not booking at full capacity and hope to have good news soon. I am waitlisted.

Oct is tricky because of the WDW anniversary celebration. We're going in Dec and have two rooms booked that we reserved a full year out. One of our son's and dil are going with us. Our other son would like to go, but his wife isn't on board. At least if they change their minds, we have space for them to stay with us. I think the restrictions will lift later this summer. The more I read about the reopenings of restaurants, etc I expect by the fall, it'll be back to normal. But, as far as the page goes, there is a lot of entitlement there and as I've said, very little appreciation for what is being given. Also, if you check out the SOG website, it states they are at reduced capacity.

I'm not there, but the official fb page says they don't have any anticipated re-opening date yet as of two weeks ago. I wish they would reopen before we go in Dec. Many buffets are opening or already open in many places. I wouldn't even mind if they went to just a regular menu without the buffet, especially for breakfast.

There is a full breakfast menu at Manginos. We had breakfast there in April.

Us too! Hubs came home last night and “ruined” my well planned October trip by getting approved for leave. Shades is our only hope for a room that will fit all of 5 us.
In limbo until something opens up….

We'll be there in July and we will definitely miss the buffet, especially my grandson who was a big fan of carnival night. I'm also wondering when they will be bringing back full housekeeping, but I suppose that won't be happening if they are still operating at reduced capacity.

I know. I should have put that in my post. I just love Garden Gallery and the views, as well as the buffet. When they go to full capacity, they'll have to open GG up so there will be enough seating.
