Observations today at the parks

[Had2stopLurking]

There is a wall around the outside seating at Cafe Orleans, but it looks like inside seating was still available. I didn't ask how long that was expected.

The walkway between TOT and Bugs Land is closed off again (it was open Sunday, so that happened between Sun and today). According to a CM, it will reopen in August.

Deluxe AP 10% discount on merchandise in effect until originally May 2nd has been extended until September (per a CM at the Emporium)

I will try to ask about the Cafe Orleans thing in the morning to see when that is expected to change (for those that were booking reservations wanting to sit outside)

we were told about it when we were buying some stuff when we were here in Feb from a CM, then yesterday when we were making purchase, the CM told us the discount was extended.

Purchases have to be over $10 though

It's been going on since December, I believe. It was supposed to end after the Holiday season and they extended it to May. Then they extended it until September.

It's only at certain stores though, right? Do you know which stores?

We got it at both the Space Mountain Picture Stand and the Emporium. The CM didn't mention that there was a limit on where it could be used.

Thanks! I guess we'll just ask around if we buy anything.

We've been able to get the 10% discount at every store we've tried, and that's been a good majority of them since it went into affect. I believe it is available in every store as long as the purchase is over $10. It saved us a ton on my son's birthday.

Cafe Orleans did have indoor as well as outdoor seating still available, we ate there last Friday and the walls were up then.

10% off...hmmm. Just another reason I should upgrade our SC AP to Deluxe. That and the fact the DD10 now has a typical summer break and we are blocked out the entire time.

I believe the discount is also good for the SoCal and SoCal Select passes.

Thanks.

Yes, and if you have a premium AP its 20%

Nice! I didn't ask if they had the outside seating available, I just saw the walls and wanted to let people know that had planned on eating there and people watching so they could make other arrangements if they wanted . The girl at the podium this morning said that the walls would be up for another 5 weeks.

Also, like barefoot said, according to a CM today, it applies to all stores as long as the purchase is over $10.

Now just waiting for the worst part of our trip the car service back to the airport!

I believe it is all of them. All the stores that take the normal PAP 10% discount. I think the DLR AP website has the list. WOD in DTD is included.

We were there in November and March and were able to enjoy the 20% off! It was very Nice!
Is the additional 10% off of food purchases too? Or is it just for merchandise. I dont remember. I have a premium, so I get a discount either way.

 

[PinkBudgie]

Deluxe always got a food discount, but not merchandise. I'm happy because that will help when we go in Aug!

5 more weeks for Cafe Orleans?! Boo! We have PS there for May 18th and I was hoping to sit outside and people watch...
