Yes I always get a bottle of water

At Whisperin canyon my DH ordered a beer and didn't use his drink entitlement with dinner - our server brought out a huge glass bottle of Evian for us to take with us. He said "its the most expensive thing I could find to use your drink entitlement. Enjoy!" Haha.

Yes the pressed pot is very good. It has been a couple of years since we have had breakfast at Kona Cafe. I am very partial to Starbucks and especially like the reserve coffees. I know at the location in downtown Disney (I reject the current name.....lol) you can get these. Not sure about in the parks.

I still call it Downtown two. I am not a big fan of the new name either.

Disney is going to start putting online bookings in a cue like they do when you call to book. I knew this was coming but didn't think it was happening yet. Not a good sign for Monday morning.

Seriously? Wow! I wonder how long the online wait times could be.
It feels like they're moving backwards with technology.

Can't remember the episode, but found the line funny, because I know someone who's told people the same lie for years and now actually believes what he says really happened.

Here it is George with your quote...

Ooooh! We're going to eat there this time! I'll have to get that! Haha I heard you can get milkshakes there with drink credits too.....but I'd rather get my calories from beer! Lol

Bottomless milkshakes. Yes. My kids were in heaven! And the desserts are crazy good too.

That's not such a bad thing though if you're up early. Just keep refreshing the page.it prevents the site from crashing and moves a lot faster then you think...don't get scared if it says over an hour wait it usually moves way faster! Lilly pulitzer does this with their sale and Hess toy trucks did this too. Just get there early and refresh, refresh, refresh! Can you tell I have an online shopping problem?!!?! Haha. Yet-I always get what I want! The early bird gets the worm....or in this case the FD, clothes, or toy trucks!

Good morning everyone. I was off since 6:30 last night and just reading through what was posted I just want to clarify some things.

Here is what I've been told:

Offer will drop on Monday 4/24.

Disney Visa holders will not be able to book before the GP.

Values and Mods will get QSDP.

I read someone posted last night that I said POR was included in FD. That's wrong!!! POR is included in Aug and Sept for FD, but is EXCLUDED for Nov and Dec.

I also read that I dropped the "bombshell" that PH's wouldn't be required. WRONG!!! I said I was told that "tickets" were required for the FD package. When I asked did that mean PH or PH+'s I was told they were told "tickets" were required. I took that as could there be a possibility that maybe base tickets get it done? I asked everyone to keep your mindset that you'll need PH or PH+'s to get FD. Once again this is my interpretation.

I am trying to find out the starting dates for Aug & Dec. And I also am trying to get more info on the ticket requirements.

I also know that ASMo is excluded along with the Little Mermaid rooms at AofA for the entire FD offer.

I have to work today from 7:30AM EST to about 1:00 this afternoon so if I hear anything new I will let you all know.

Have a magical day!!!

I got your back Disney Ron you always made it clear not needing the PH was a slight maybe not a given. I wished upon a star but alas it seems not to be the case from some whisperings of my own.

I've heard a few more things but still rumors and nothing earth shattering. I would say if you are not Canadian or disney Visa and traveling between 8/13-8/20 have a back up plan. If you were hoping on the 12/3, I would have a back up plan all rumors are pointing to 12/8.

I wonder if this makes modifying a ressie better? Hmmm.

Would you still be in a queue to modify a reservation? Or would you just be able to modify with no wait?

 

[Disneylover99]

Yes. Now I'm very curious about this!

 

[KimBean]

Never did breakfast at Ohana. We didn't like dinner so would not even try breakfast. Chef Mickey is no better - mediocre food at best and rushed character visits at the table.

We've been there twice and it was the best character experience we had. I like that it is smaller and not as noisy and they bring the food to you. And the amount of food they bring is like 5 times more than at Akershus breakfast. And you can get more. And the juice is amazing! We love it and we love stitch!

I'm not really sure but I'd assume everyone would be put in a queue....the modifying might make it move faster though.

 

[KimBean]

Yes. Now I'm very curious about this!

Hilarious we posted thinking the same thing at the same time.

I just have a question. I am planning on traveling 8/16 but I do have a Disney visa. Would I need to book through the Visa perks page or is there an option for visa holders on the regular Disney reservation page?

 

[Jchoma]

Morning everyone, just wanted to say thanks for all the responses to my questions about values vs CBR! My phone is acting up and I can't quote all the posts, but I appreciate the help!

 

[Disneylover99]

Hilarious we posted thinking the same thing at the same time.

My head is spinning over this! I don't have a reservation at all in December cause I subscribe to the old school fd mentality of don't book it, or they won't offer it. But now, if I'm waiting in a queue will this Make a difference?

Or I'm wondering if there are two separate queues. A modify queue and a new reservation queue? Ack!! What to do!

Never did akershus breakfast but we didn't like dinner. We were going to do it this trip but when I read the menu it Said it only served eggs and two of my kids don't eat eggs.

 

[JoePa4Ever]

Anyone know if you will be able to book FD at midnight or will it be 6:00 am like dining adrs

I have no clue. But someone will answer that does. Lol. I am not blessed to have a disney Visa.
