Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[MichiganScott]

Here's some research: pressed brioche ice cream sandwich at L’Artisan des Glaces (Epcot France).

DH just got accepted into a class for a potential new job endeavor. It start first week of November. They said he can miss the Tuesday class when we are gone but highly encouraged him to be there for Thursday nights class. It looks like we are going to change our flight to come home at noon on Thursday instead of 930p. Looks like Saturdays in the park is in our future since we wont be able to enjoy much of Thursday.

Does anyone know what time we should be on the magic express back to MCO?

ME picks up about 3 hours before the flight time - so you'll need to be at the curb and ready by 9am (or earlier...you will find out for sure the night before).

Bummer about the changes but yay for new job endeavors...right?

Got a new phone this weekend. Are there any apps I *need*? I've already got MDE and the touring plans lines app added. I also put Kenny the Pirate's character Locator Web page on my home screen and the Disney laundry page (unfortunately I don't think I can get away from laundry totally for 10 days!).

I did online check in, but I called in room requests, and will also use the TP fax. The options in online check in were so generic that they were not that helpful.

I don't remember it asking for arrival time this year either... I am assuming since it will still be busy that we may have to wait (checking in on Saturday after Thanksgiving).

With the TP fax can you use it to just make requests and a building #? Not a specific room #?

Anyone else has a snack list?

This is mine

MK: Dole Whip (float), citrus swirl, Gaston's cinnamon bun, lefou's brew, ice cream sandwich, cheeseburger spring rolls, sweets from main street confectionery, sleepy hollow waffles

EPCOT: karamell kuche- caramel corn, chocolate covered salted caramel, Chocolate covered smores, Germany holiday stand- caramel kiss (salted hot caramel drink), pretzel from Germany, L'artisan des glaces- macaron ice cream sandwich, brioche ice cream sandwich, gelato, les halles- strawberry tart, various pastries, France/ soft serve, kringla- school bread, troll horn, refreshment port- cronut (ala mode), la cava- avocado margarita, gelato stand in italy, flavoured popcorn, sunshine season strawberry shortcake and warm peanut butter brownie

AK- flame tree bbq's pulled pork cheese fries, trilo bites- buffalo chicken waffle sandwich, harambe market- african milk tart, kasafari bakery- specialty cupcakes

DHS- carrot cake cookie

Boardwalk- Ample Hills Creamery ice cream

DS- amorette's mini cake, vivoli gelateria- gelato, goofy's candy company create your own, ganachery for chocolates, daily poutine, aristocrepe

GF- gingerbread shingles

Hope others have other stuff to add in so my list can grow longer

Are the gingerbread shingles off the actual gingerbread house? Can u buy them with snack credits?

Also, I heard the margarita stand at Epcot is gone? So where can I get a margarita on the run?

Got a new phone this weekend. Are there any apps I *need*? I've already got MDE and the touring plans lines app added. I also put Kenny the Pirate's character Locator Web page on my home screen and the Disney laundry page (unfortunately I don't think I can get away from laundry totally for 10 days!).

Is there an advantage to having the Kenny the Pirate subscription now that MDE lists all the characters and meeting times?

Looks like you got some good ones! I only used MDE and Lines last year. Oh! and a pressed penny map

They sell the gingerbread shingle but I don't think it's snack credit? I can't actually find too much info on it. This is a great page about gingerbread offerings around the resorts: http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2015/12/09/close-up-the-2015-disney-world-resort-gingerbread-displays/

Margarita, I think you can order it to go at La Cava? That's what I'm thinking of doing since I want to try either the avocado margarita or passionfruit margarita

Good question!

It has you select a specific room and then lists rooms in the same area, but then there is an open notes area as well, where you can add other info.

 

[GoldenOwner]

Good question!

I don't know, but it seemed to take MDE a couple of days to get Woody and Jessie off MK but Kenny had them gone riget away. Figure it can't hurt to check multiple places!

DH iPhone 5 went for a swim yesterday. Outlook not good despite the rice trick. Looks like he is getting an upgrade to iPhone 7. He wants to get a flip phone. Says smart phones are adult pacifiers. I completely agree but how am I supposed to communicate with him during the day and get sweet pics of DD?!?!? I don't think he will be putting any disney apps on his phone. lol

I have like 5 old flip phones laying around if you've got a Delorean to go back to 1995 for the chargers

Debating if I want to alert them to my wheat allergy. Its great that they make it so easy to find food but I hate all the extra attention!

It made life so much easier. The only attention I really got was when the chef walked me through the buffet or brought me my own plate of Mickey waffles, both of which I really appreciated!

Yeah it's probably a good idea. You just called the dining number and they added it to all of them?
