Fall? What is that?

Seriously its 88 and crazy humid here today. I also started school today so I am just ugh about it.

If by "Fall" you mean 3 storms churning in the Atlantic and/or Gulf, daily highs in the mid-90s and overnight lows of 75, why yes - Fall has reached Florida!

ETA: fixed a rogue smiley

So, like it's September already! We are like about 4 months to go, I honestly can not believe how time has flown. Fall running (maybe, knock on heat and humidity & I guess where you live) will be upon us soon & then I'm crossing fingers for a mild winter, none of that -20 like right before marathon this year!

I love this!! Bring on fall and harvest!

We have one more month of 100+ degree weather here in Arizona.

I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.

Hi all!

Reading all these posts, i trust your dining advice...so here’s a question—-

I’ve been checking for a dining reservation for Saturday night near MK - mainly looking for Ohana. But today a Be Our Guest reservation popped up and I snagged it.

We’ve never eaten there (for any meal) - and I’m kind of in the fence about the pre ride. Worth it???

I am not running the next day so not a pre-race dinner (if that changes answers) - and have 7yo and 3yo DDs.

Be Our Guest is all about the atmosphere. The West Wing and Ballroom are right out of the animated classic. The 3rd dining room, though not from the film, is clearly inspired by it and feels right. Now as much as I love the animated film, I also quite enjoyed my meals at Be Our Guest. And given the age of your daughters, if they like Beauty and the Beast (especially the animated version) at all, I recommend trying it once. The Beast greets guests at dinner only.

Good morning, runDisney all-stars!

This thread have been quiet for the past day, so I trust you're all enjoying the Labor Day weekend. Speaking of Labor Day, this week's Sundays are for Disney is all about jobs. Specifically, what Disney Parks job would you like to have? I'm talking ground-level, badge-CM jobs, so no Imagineers, no Bob Iger, no cushy office jobs. It'll be more fun that way.

I'd like to be a tour guide. Ideally, I'd rotate tours so it wouldn't get too stale, but if I had to pick one, I'd want to do the behind the scenes tour at Animal Kingdom.

Have a good weekend, everyone! See you all in 128 days!

Bellhop at Tower of Terror. I think I'd have great fun getting to mix the darkness of that ride with the the light twist or see below. . .

I have no idea where they are going with Galaxy's Edge and the immersive elements of the Hotel and Park experience, but I think it would be great fun to be a face character within that framework tasked with interacting with guests and advancing their plot lines within that experience. To be honest you could probably talk me into being just about anything within Galaxy's Edge when it opens.

Absolutely. One thing I've loved about the recent meet and greets Disneyland is doing with Star Wars characters is how personal it's become. It's not just the photo.

For instance, the CM summons me to the area by telling me "Lord Vader wants to speak with you." Rey asks me to report back to the Resistance about stormtrooper movements in the area and says that she'll tell General Leia about my efforts to aid the Resistance. For a few moments, it's all real and the 7 year old me who thought Star Wars was the greatest thing ever is living the dream to think that Star Wars characters actually know me.

I would have perhaps way too much fun interacting with guests in Galaxy's Edge as a character of some sort.

You would be a PERFECT cast member working in Galaxy’s Edge.

You know what makes me giggle. Pumpkin patches in FL. A pile of pumpkins rolled across a lawn. Up north it was literally a pumpkin field where the actual pumpkin was grown. You’d ride they hay wagon to the pumpkin patch, pick your pumpkin off the vine then ride the wagon back.

I miss apple picking. Like serious want to fly north with an empty suitcase and fly back.

Thank you. Not gonna lie, I have thought about moving to Anaheim after retirement and working at Disneyland. However, retirement is a long time from now (and probably in a galaxy far, far away) so they're just fleeting thoughts.

We have pumpkin and apple picking all over Wisconsin.

I should really plan a fall trip to Wisconsin.

We have great alcohol too!

Wait did I say that out loud?

Waaaaahhhhh!!!!! The one thing I miss about being up north is fall. Leaves turning, pumpkin picking, apple picking, hot cider donuts....

 

[cavepig]

Yes, apples, make it feel 'fall'. Apple picking is part of my daily cross training, I mean off the ground, so many apples. And we have pumpkin patches everywhere and if they are like ours they are probably out of control with all of our rain and humid weather. Definitely not a dry summer. As much as I love summer, I really wish we would get those crisp fall temps for running.

But that snow in the winter makes me ok that I don’t get seasons anymore

Here's what happens after the leaves are gone, and the pumpkins and apples are picked:

What's a word stronger than #nope? Because that's how I feel about those pictures ... other than the doggo trying to blend in with all that white stuff.

I like snow for about a week and then I’m done.

 

[SarahDisney]

I love snow. I just wish the city felt a need to plow Queens.

 

[jennamfeo]

I ran today in 104 degree humid heat with the sun bearing it's soul upon me and I would rather run in that every day than run in that #snowpe.
