If you’re still there today, do you see any grills anywhere?

As far as shipping-we've had great luck, have shipped cookie jars home, among other breakables, has been reasonable and have arrived in perfect condition.

They really need to bring back the full menus at the bar and quick service. I can’t believe they still haven’t. Starting to make me wonder if they ever will at this point.

I have started wondering about this as well. The shutdown gave them an opportunity to reset their offerings and customer expectations. Starting to think a lot of these changes are permanent.

Agreed. "never waste a good crisis" mentality has afforded them an opportunity to make a lot of changes that have nothing to do with Covid.

Thanks for the info. Did they give you the option of when to ship it? I would hate to ship something and it arrive before we get home. I try to never keep items on the porch too long.

We honestly didn't ask as we were one a short trip. They told us it would arrive in about a week which turned out to be pretty accurate (we are in NC so not terribly far away). Shipping to a neighbor might be an option. I was a bit worried about a fragile wine glass shipped from Epcot, but it arrived just fine.

I agree. I don’t know what they are waiting for but it’s a little disappointing at this point.

I have walked the grounds and have not seen any grills.

Thank you so much for letting me know. We really enjoy using the grills at the other resorts. Was hoping they would install eventually. Oh well!

Planning our Thanksgiving week trip and wondering how early the bus comes for AK and MK early entry?

Is taking the bus to AK for early entry better than taking Lyft? Do they hold the rideshares entry later than buses and is the drop off far away?

DH and I were there a week ago and commented at how small the menu at Primo Piatto was. Our breakfast was very good, just very small selection.

a little is an understatement. DIS under this regime never met a cost-cutting move it didn’t like.

I’ve already sent two emails to them stating my displeasure with the limited menus, and park hours for that matter. I’ve never gotten a response.

Ugh I was hoping for a Monte Cristo at Bar Riva.....

 

[Mkaiser1]

Can I jump on the fireworks query and see if anyone knows if you can view the EPCOT fireworks from a Grand Villa on the Skyliner side of the resort? Obviously not possible from the pool side of the resort but didn't know if this was feasible?

Just heard there’s one at the Plaza now if you want to check it out

 

[Queen_Riviera]

Where is the Plaza?
