There is a dedicated thread in the Disneyland section. But I may have to provide a first hand report on this sometime this week.

I don’t know if I see that ever coming online.

I wish it would be available online. I wasted over an hour at the GR in Liberty Square in December doing my AP upgrade.

It may have been a test for things to come next year with Star Wars. That would be one way to alleviate some of the pressure DHS is going to get hit with is to have like one day a week where it is open 24 hours. Plus, SW:GE will most likely be opening at prime "special event" season at MK.

Fully expect there to be special events for it too - be it paid early or late hours and then some times when it is only open to people staying at the hotel

Would be cool if they did a 24 hours event open to "regular guests" though as well

That would be very useful - also if you could buy/add on Tables in Wonderland ... anything that reduces the requirements to go to guest services just to buy something would be good

Pizza Ponte now serving breakfast

https://wdwnt.com/2018/04/pizza-ponte-at-disney-springs-now-serving-breakfast/

Are the added breakfast offerings lately at Disney Springs generally to serve people who work there? I wouldn't think there are too many visitors going to DS for breakfast. The parks really need increased breakfast offerings - have for a long time now - but never get it.

Ahh...you need to choose your Guest Services wisely. May I suggest next time use the one at the IG in Epcot. We went there to buy our TiW at 4 PM and there was zero line. Took all of 5 minutes.

Good to know for the future! I was unsure if I was going to upgrade until our last day in the parks (December 23rd). It was busy, to say the least.

The menu's for Andy's Lunchbox that came out yesterday showed that will feature quite a few breakfast options

I could see guests hitting up Disney Springs on the morning of their last day if they aren't doing a park, but agree, wouldn't think there would be a ton of people there for breakfast time

Yea breakfast is lacking in the parks as well IMO, other than Char ones. I guess most just get that before heading to the parks.

I asked at MK at like 10AM they said absolutely nothing except Starbucks sandwiches.

You might be on to something for the workers at DS-that is getting to be a lot of folks.

Sleepy Hallow has breakfast - egg and cheese waffle sandwich, Nutella waffle, etc.

For the runDisney folks out there like me they have pushed back all registrations until further notice. They will have more info on June 1st. Many are speculating Disney is moving away from Active.com for registrations.

Oh nice, will remember that-prob a CP CM. Still seems a little thin for 10,000 guests and counting though.

I’m not a huge Active fan, but if this means we have to depend more on Disney IT...
