I also snagged an ADR for Biergarten, albeit a late one (1:20pm).
Yum!! Lucky snag! I've never been there, but it's on my list for future. Everyone always has good things to say.
Maybe it was another person like me who made the resi with more people and then had to lower it down.
Whatever the reason, you lucked out! It seems that sometimes there's better availability last-minute for ADRs than at 180 days! haha
For future though, if your dining party gets smaller than you expected, obviously it's nice if you can find a smaller ADR so you can release the larger one to a group that needs it and all... but if you have an ADR for a large group and you can't find one for a smaller group, you can just keep the big one and just go with whoever is going to eat. (i.e. if I had an ADR for 6, but it turned out to only be 3 people who could actually go, I could just show up with 3 people and keep the same ADR.) The only problem is sometimes if you have more people than your reservation is for, not less. They confirmed this for us when we booked very large ADRs for our wedding reception. They won't charge you any fees or anything as long as at least one person shows up for the ADR. Fun fact!
Nice one! This is so pretty.
She is typically not a huge breakfast eater, but loves her carbs so she surprised me this morning.
Love of carbs? PR and I have this in common.
I was surprised to find a paper pouch with bacon in it instead of the extra bacon ON the sandwich.
On the way there is where I think my best pictures of the trip...
This is really nice with the monorail in it! Good shot!
I also really only like it if we're in row 1. People's feet hanging down ruins the effect.
I don't mind the feet too much, but what I do mind is being on the sides. We always ask for the middle section. The distortion on the side sections actually makes me quite motion sick. Blech.
I skipped right up the resort monorail ramp dragging PR along with me.
Good call! Most people don't know this trick.
I struggled with Dole whips or DISmeet.
It's a constant struggle...dole whip vs. anything that's not dole whip...
Nice picture! It sounds like you had a lovely Dismeet!
She told me absolutely not, she didn't want to hang out with such a jerk that would stand them up.
Caroline! How rude! That totally sounds like
@disneyAndi14.
Well, turns out, maybe my nose would've been better. They pointed me towards POC and said it was near there. We were right near Pecos Bill's so the walk through by CBJ would have been a much more direct route.
Weird! Every CM in MK should know exactly how to get to dole whip, blindfolded! It's one of the most important things. I wonder if maybe they were thinking of the citrus swirl at Sunshine Tree Terrace? Not that that's really super close either... weird.
While we were enjoying our dole whip floats, we saw this guy. I cannot imagine how hot those costumes must be in the summer.

I'm sure what you meant was that you can't imagine how hot Wendell's FUR must be for him in the summer! Of course!
I had planned to let PR go and then use my magicband to go again. She loves Frozen and FEA, I do not. I like Olaf and the ride physically hurts my back when it goes backward and hits whatever and changes direction. The CM at the entrance said I have to swipe my MB first. No biggie, just reverse the order...use mine and then hers. Nope, we must go together. I explained it physically hurt my back and the ONLY reason I did the FP was for her. Too bad, so sad, you must go. Right before we got to the ride, I explained to the guy there exactly what I'd explained outside. Let me talk to my manager and we'll see what we can do. Shortly after, the person in charge of the ride...can't for the life of me remember her name, but she was great. Just stand over here sir and when she gets off, we'll just let her ride again. Score! I told her I appreciated it so much and I can imagine she has a lot to watch, so I thanked her profusely for allowing PR to ride twice and not forcing me.
Frankly, I'm shocked that they let you do this with how the whole
DAS system is set up, since it's you who has trouble with traditional queue lines and not PR. I'm not surprised that the first CM was so difficult about it, because I'm sure they would have people trying to walk all over them if they didn't have to enforce these kinds of things. But I'm so glad the manager could help you out and PR got to ride FEA! It looked like she really enjoyed it!
She opened a door that said CM only and show me their control center for FEA. As a geek, I was like, wow and totally didn't even think about the camera. It was cool to see and I thanked her again.
No way! That's soo cool! A little magical moment.
She looks so happy here...I love it when my princess is happy!
Just what I'd expect from a doting Dis-dad!
According to DW, PR has me wrapped around her little finger. I don't agree, but when we're at Disney, it's fun time. Okay, so maybe she does. Sheesh, tough crowd.
Hmmm...DW might be on to something here.

But I think that everyone should get a little special treatment at Disney, so I have no judgement! We like to spoil each other a little at WDW, too.
Well, Tiffins replaced biergarten and VOL replaced Celtic woman.
Wow!! That's high praise!! VOL have such a beautiful sound. I did my first degree in Music—vocal performance, so I have very high standards for choral music. They did not disappoint.
This may sound kinda funny, but there are times you can have too many FPs and they start messing with the wrong ones.
Yep! I've been there!

But I guess it's a good problem to have!
Several of these items ended up coming home with us because my eyes were way bigger than our stomachs and we had so many other treats at different times, we never got to our other caramel stuff.
Yummmmm!
