Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun!

Ooh maybe they’ll make a 50th version

I could go for that

I just wanted to put this out there that we are here now and we saw the host/hostesses at Oga’s Cantina take people’s names for a walk up wait list, even though it wasn’t showing as an option in the app. First time we were checking in for an after hours reservation on Tuesday and they took a group of 5 who walked up the same time as us. And then today while checking in for a 1:20 pm reservation, they told 2 separate parties that they could take them in about 25 mins. So, it never hurts to ask if you are looking for that hard to find reservation there

Wasn’t sure where to post this, but it’s certainly an “element of fun “
After around 50 trips , this was the first time I ever booked a Disney package! Always had APs in the past or booked hotel and tix separately - did a package for our July trip, and this was in our mail today


Too cute and the kids love them ! Also received some vouchers - assuming this is standard for packages ? Great surprise !

Speaking of fireworks, there were crews working on the barges the past two days. Yesterday there were two small cranes over by them. These were taken 2 days ago.

I have to tell you… we joke about them being large… but no one can truly prepare you to see these in person for the first time!! These things are truly GIGANTIC!!!

Can confirm this! On Sunday I was there with DD and asked and the host said they were doing walkins now. I had been searching for Friday (yesterday) for at least 2 of our party who hadn't been.

We are a party of 6 and yesterday we split 3 and 3, but ended up being called back together. We stopped by around 9:30 am, and was called within 15 minutes.

@mrsap SO awesome you saw fireworks!!! ❤ hope you're having a great time!!

We have seen MK busses running all this week from Poly. We also confirmed with cast members last night that the walkway between Poly and grand Floridian still hadn’t opened. But the resort monorail at TTC has worked out just fine for us when we wanted to get over there.

That was my reaction exactly!

I'd seen plenty of pictures on here and was withholding judgment. But seeing them firsthand a few weeks ago was a real shocker! Let's hope Harmonius is worth it and the daytime water fountains are effective.
