My Disney Birthday Wish Came True! – June 2025 Trip Report (Updated 6/23!)

I so appreciate that they haven't changed or retired the water pageant. Exactly the same as when I was a kid and I couldn't love it more.

Me too! It's such a classic!

Ooo this is making me want to give CL another try! We’ve done CL at AKL and Yacht Club. At AKL, the food looked much more like your pictures from WL - heavy apps, could almost replace a meal. At Yacht Club, it was much more “snacky” - lots of cheese and crackers, veggies and dip, etc. I thought AKL was the outlier, but maybe Yacht Club is actually the outlier! (Either way, this was like 8 years ago, so probably due to give it another shot!)

Looking forward to reading more!

Well I definitely recommend the WL CL. We haven't stayed at the YC CL yet, but most CLs we've stayed at have had pretty decent options for hors d'oeuvres and breakfasts. Lunches aren't great across the board, just chips, crudité, and small snacky stuff. So far our favorite for food has been the Contemporary, but WL was pretty close!

Oh dear Mom. Maybe we have to stop letting her bring drinks back to the room?? Get her a sippy cup?? LOL. My brother once waxed poetic on the greatness of the sippy cup. He had hurt his back and had to lie flat for awhile. BUT, he also wanted to drink. So he put his drink into one of my niece's sippy cups and kept telling me "Look, I didn't spill a drop!" Only problem, my young (at the time) niece sees a sippy cup and assumes it's hers. Cue aunty running through the house chasing her to get it back before she drinks the "spicy juice." LOL.

HAAA, oh my goodness, spicy juice! That is too funny! I actually did tease my mom that I would bring her a sippy cup on our next trip....she was not thrilled.
