News Round Up 2017

Their breakfast is absolutely fantastic too! I'm really hoping that the menu doesn't change much.

Good point Jackie - sometimes with Character meals they rely on that and reduce food quality - hopefully they don't do that here!

 

[Sweettears]

...the important question: how will this affect my Wishes dessert party?

It depends on where you park.

 

[Sweettears]

um, you spelled "due to guest demand" wrong

That's kinda crappy as they are pushing these benefits as a reason to stay on site and to justify the added expense .... and I am assuming these won't come with a price reduction

I don't get why they don't just jack up the price a bit more to make the fee more hidden and then they can still advertise that you get the added benefit with no resort fee (I know the issue is for price comparison on things like price line where they don't include the fees when doing the comparison)

I agree. The price for rooms is different every time I look. I couldn't tell you what the "normal" fee is for any of the resorts and probably wouldn't notice.

 

[Sweettears]

If they start adding resort fees, it will make the Swan and Dolphin much more appealing, and some of the Bonnet Creek resorts as well...

They've already achieved this by pricing the deluxe out of reach.

Aaaaacctttuuuaalllllyyy, I would love to see a board with Disney book suggestions/discussions. There's a lot of history I would like to learn about, and while a Micheal Bowling in particular and some others give book recs, I don't always listen to the podcasts or write the suggestions down when I hear them. This may already exist here in some form that I'm not aware of...

I agree. I would do myself but life is in the way. I read just about any Disney book I can find.

I'd be up for a Disney book discussion board. I am currently reading "Who's Afraid of the Song of the South?"

You mean like every character meal with perhaps the exceptions of 1900 park fare and tusker house?

All others are "minimal" quality.

I guess Ohana and garden grill are ok too...

 

[lockedoutlogic]

Reports are Rivers of Light CMs are being scheduled hours next week. 2/12 opening is still quite possible.

And guess who'll be there to cut through the crap?

My memory may be hazy but I also enjoyed 1900 but I don't recall it being significantly better than Cape May.

I'd love this too...personally.

They're all about the same...but there you can get the blintzes and lobster Benedict...

And tusker you can get some of the boma stuff...I love bobotie at breakfast.

The rest are pretty bleh...worst are crt, Chef Mickey's, and akershus...

Gee..:what's the pattern there?

So we can expect live reports right?

we like the breakfast at both CRT and Akershsus, though it is harder to mess up breakfast.

Fully agree about Tusker House being one of the best

Never been to Tusker House. I'll have to give it a try.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Never been to Tusker House. I'll have to give it a try.

it's got really good variety of food as it has "regular" food along with the more unique African inspired options and the Character interaction is useally really good

We usually do a PPO breakfast but I have heard if you do one of the last breakfast seatings they will be changing out the food while you are there so you can do breakfast and lunch in one

 

[lockedoutlogic]

Heck no...I'll be hammered from Mt. Kilamarita's at that bar next to Everest...I'll let you know in the morning...

Hidden gem...and if you go late...say 10-10:30...they begin to put the lunch crossover...so you can have things from both meals...really good bonus

I second this.

Just booked it for a 10:10 adr for my March visit.

Perfect...and it has the "fab 5" with daisy swapped for Pluto...so that's one of the best groups there...and it's basically Boma's food with more core American breakfast items mixed
In.

They also have Krispy Kreme donut holes by the hundreds...they get swarmed though so you'll have to casually kick a couple kids
To get some...business as usual
