You're making me hungry.

You're making me hungry.

I've been going through the holiday food list for December, my stomach is growling at me, LOL!

 

[Brocktoon]

The Fort is supposed to reopen today pending damage assessment. We're currently evacuated to AoA. Checked this morning at the lobby and they are allowing us homeless late 4 PM checkout while we wait to hear about the Fort.

Even being displaced and the storm, we managed to hit HS yesterday and still got RotR, MFSR, and MMRR. Got Epcot for today and scored VQ for GoTG and G+ for Remy ... but we'll see if we can even make to Epcot with our current situation. I'd happily give up Epcot today if they can get us back in to The Fort though

Cake Decorating Experience at Amorette’s Patisserie In Disney Springs Returning in November

View attachment 713999

The Cake Decorating Experience is finally coming BACK to Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs! If you’re unfamiliar with it, this is a special experience that allows you to decorate your own little delicious masterpiece — typically a Mickey Dome Cake (though sometimes another cake is chosen) — under the careful supervision of a chef from Amorette’s!

The experience is set to return in November of 2022, though no exact date was shared with us yet. The exact date will be shared in the future so guests can know when they’ll be able to book online.

In terms of price, the Cake Decorating Experience will set you back $199 per table — each table can have 2 guests (so you and friend/family member could share that cost).

The $199 cost includes all-you-care-to-enjoy beverages plus 1 cake. You can add on an additional cake for $50. It is limited to guests ages 5 and up, so just keep that in mind.

The $199 cost also includes a new exclusive pinonly given to guests who take a class.

Just an to update this, reservations open November 14 for classes beginning November 16.

The number of people who have been sharinf that Disney here is closed "because of the storm" when really they're sharing Florida parks info is.. well it's a lot of people.

My son spent his entire life in the Midwest before he started grad school at UCLA this Fall. Two months after moving there, he was awoken by a sound he could not recognize.

It was rain.

I mean, he bought a surfboard within the first month, so it’s not like he isn’t acclimating.

Adventureland Treehouse at Disneyland Park Returns in Fresh, New Way in 2023



Paying tribute to the original treehouse that Walt Disney and his Imagineers built in 1962 for the hit movie, “Swiss Family Robinson,” the Adventureland Treehouse inspired by Walt Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson will return in a fresh, new way at Disneyland park in 2023.

The Adventureland Treehouse will showcase wonderous new environments created amongst the branches of a giant tree on the shores of the Jungle River, where guests will once again enter by the giant waterwheel and follow the wood rope stairways up, up, up into the boughs.

Here, you will find fascinating rooms that the family in this new story created for one another. From the mother’s music den (as depicted in the concept art above) and the young sons’ nature room to the teenage daughter’s astronomer’s loft, all things are fashioned from found objects, natural resources, and pure ingenuity.

For those who would rather stay on terra firma, the bottom floor will showcase an ingenious kitchen and dining room, along with the father’s art studio, displaying hand-drawn sketches and paintings of each of the rooms.

Walt Disney Imagineers are hard at work and delighted to bring this classic back in a fresh way, full of magic, enchantment, and wonder. After all, who wouldn’t want to live in a tree in Disneyland?!

We look forward to sharing an opening date and more details about the new Adventureland Treehouse coming to Disneyland park in the future.

Cool! I like it - not too different from the original, but with an Adventureland theme (and surely SEA ties in the details). I may just have to walk through this once - though it is still "Stairs: The Ride!"

If this is a one-time code to "recognize" our device, then I'm fine with this, and it's probably a good idea.

But if this is typical Disney IT, that can't remember our devices and asks for the code every time, then I'm going to rip my hair out.

I wonder how crowded those flights will be considering many passengers have probably cancelled/rescheduled their flights

I bet the system will log us out even more frequently now and require a stupid new code each time. Argh!
