lol my husband and in-laws like to occasionally golf but no golfing in Myrtle Beach was not even on our radar. That would have also required bringing 3 sets of golf bags during our road trip out there (one for my husband and one for each of the in-laws). We enjoyed Savannah and Asheville with the Biltmore mansion much more we just didn't allocate more than a day there and wished we had spent the 3 days in Myrtle Beach at those places instead. We were staying right on the beach too it just was not our cup of tea. There are just so many other destinations that we've enjoyed that this felt like utter disappointment. But that's just us lol

Asheville is one heck of a getaway. Trendy artsy and lots of wonderful restaurants/bars. Loved staying there when my son was playing baseball in that general vicinity. I am not a beach person either, but I can always handle Myrtle because I love to golf.

I can see your point with character meals as there are a number that have princesses but none that are more traditional "boy" .... Pixar I think would be tough as a lot of the costumes are large/big heads but could be cool. Maybe they could do it like how they have the Beast at BOG - where the meet part is in a separate area vs coming to your tables

I do have to say when you get beyond "Mickey and Friends" and "Princesses", what are you left with? The H&V breakfast, and the Pooh one, right? It would be really neat if they had more variety to their character meals.

Hey, you can always head over to Universal and see the Marvel characters at dinner!

We like Myrtle Beach as it's our 2nd most frequented vacation location (behind you-know-where) and we've been there probably around half-a-dozen times. It's a great golfing destination and we've always found the beaches to be wonderful and uncrowded, but we always went at the end of August to avoid the worst of the summer crowds. The golf is amazing too. We will probably be going back more since my Dad and Step-Mom just retired there. It's definitely tacky/touristy and you have to enjoy that. I really enjoy it for a more "laid back" vacation that still allows you to see a show, play some golf, eat some good food. You can also get away there VERY, VERY cheap depending on the time of year. (Not summer.)

Not really sure what Myrtle beach has to do with anything here...

I forget...The expiration date doesn't necessarily mean anything correct? Are we expecting the ride to be open by August, 2019? It's just transferring one ride to another part of the park and re-theming it.

Expiration just means when that permitted piece will be done. This permit is for preliminary work I believe.

great breweries - Wicked Weed's Funkatorium is incredible

Well, 1900 Park Fare also will have Alice, Mad Hatter, Step Mother and Sisters, so that is a little different. Trattoria al Forno breakfast has the princes with the princesses. 'Ohana Breakfast has Lilo and Stitch ... but I agree, a bit more variety would be great

A villians meal could be cool .... Pixar as already mentioned .... more classic characters (Peter Pan, Pinocchio, etc.)

I'm not into character meals at the moment but a villians one would be neat IMO.

Interesting to see who may really be in the Millennium cockpit. This may be a little spoilery trivia from the comic books, but most folks aren't reading them anyway ... The current Poe Dameron book is covering the events on the Falcon directly after 'The Last Jedi' as well as what Black Squadron was up to during TJL. After escaping Crait, Leia handed over the co-pilot seat to Nein Nunb (Lando's Falcon co-pilot from Return of the Jedi). People are assuming Rey would co-Pilot with Chewie, but I wonder if we'll get a Chewie/Nein team for Ep 9.

Don't forget Lando! It'll be interesting to see what role he'll play in the Resistance.

Christopher Robin banned in China ... likely due to social media memes where they compare Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh

A convenience fee would be charged unless you are a Stubs member.

If you are an A-list ($19.95/month) or Premiere member ($15.00/year) it's waived during the checkout process no matter how many tickets you buy. If you are an Insider member (free) it's waived if you purchase 4 or more tickets in the same transaction.

Thank you! I'm just a regular free member buying one or two tickets so that explains it.

Bounce Back Offer now being Free Dining for parts of 2019:

"It was a room-only deal for quite some time, but the bounceback offer available to guests at the Walt Disney World Resort is now for free dining. The information was already in guest rooms as of Aug. 1, 2018, and it will be available to book through Oct. 31, 2018.

There are not a lot of dates, but there are some and here they are:

• May 28 – June 4, 2019
• June 28 – Sept. 7, 2019
• Dec. 6 – Dec. 24, 2019

This bounceback offer would be the Quick-Service dining plan for Value and Moderate Resorts while Deluxe Resorts would receive the Disney Dining Plan. It does require at least a minimum 4-night stay with 4-day park hopper ticket."

http://doctordisney.com/2018/08/02/...lable-at-walt-disney-world-for-dates-in-2019/



Perhaps a sign, as expected, that they are worried about attendance next Summer as this covers the Summer

But strange that it would cover December...

 

[Moliphino]

Wow...and over July 4th.

It included July 4 last year, too. Mid-late July wasn't included last year, though, the rest of the dates are pretty much the same. December being included still seems strange with Star Wars opening.

Geez I completely forgot about Ohana and I'm going there in 3 weeks. 1900 Park Fare I was thinking about as being Cinderella, but you are right the breakfast has a different variety. I considered the al Forno one as Princesses since I assumed the OP was referring to that one when they said "4 Princess meals".
