It is free but you don't really get anything with the free version. D23 Gold membership is about $90 after tax.

So like a month ago?

Why is it every time you imply longstanding policy it's been under a year?

We actually only tried it in May and July, and it was on the menu then.

If its news in Oct no problem with me, good news to get out there.

Whispering Canyon has had them for over 10 years.

Off topic but us too. Yikes!

While we didn't;t get food poisoning, we just weren't impressed with the food...

Don't forget the $20 in shipping costs! I'm not joking.

My parents bought it for me for Christmas last year because I wanted the gold membership for the expo.

I live in Texas, so I'd need to make special trips to attend any of the events. Though all the ones in DL sound amazing to me. I don't think membership is worth it in a non-expo year if you don't live in Florida or California. Or unless you have unlimited vacation time and funds and only like to do Disney things with those.

Yeah I am considering Gold for the next expo.

Hmmm...I guess I'd know that if I had eaten at whispering canyon at dinner in the last 10 years, huh?

As a backstory...I called the wave "yuck" a couple of months back and then spent the next two days defending the ramparts from attacking barbarians.

I think it's one of the worst restaurants at wdw...so disappointed when they redid the contemporary restaurants prior to dvc.

Posted this on Friday (WDWNT is weirdly late with the post).
Like I said on the post then - using the frame that's made of the villain silhouettes but swapping out the illustration of the Sanderson Sisters proves that the issue was definitely linked to the Ghastlies fabric that was in a similar style.

Well that's embarrassing...

Maybe they just thought soccer hooliganism was part of the Epcot UK experience...

Well, if she was legit being rowdy and stuff glad to see she didn't get special treatment

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I'm always disappointed in the Sanderson sisters (Hocus Pocus people) merch for the Halloween parties. I love that movie and I'd like to throw some money at it but I think, frankly, all the designs have been hideous. Maybe it's just not my style, but I'm always disappointed.

Now this...is major breaking news for me!!

Now If they do bottomless alcoholic slushes for me in Epcot...I'm moving to beach club.

Have you had the ice cream martini drink at Artisans L'Glace?...so good, but so alcoholic. Those bottomless could be very dangerous.

Does have two every visit qualify as "trying"?

If yes...then yes, I have tried...

Save Up To 25% at Select Walt Disney World Resort Hotels in Early 2018

Thoughts on when AP discounts for January-March will come out? The last few years it has been 3rd week of October. This seems a little early for a general discount.
