Hi Tom, do you have any information why mostly hotels are blocked beginning December ?
Regarding mask mandates for inside facilities – if the vaccine works for those who choose to get vaccinated, then why does everyone need to wear a mask??
Any info on hotels for toyko disney or shanghai?
Our trip is not until December, but I have a question.
What are your thoughts on buffets, do you think they will be reinstated? For example, I saw Cape May Cafe new dinner menu and prices and seafood is now charged by the pound as an add-on. Not a fan of this new pricing structure or menu structure.
Hi Tom and Sarah,
My husband and I just took all of our kids and grandkids to Disney World (a total of 14 people, ages 10 months – 67 years) and had a fabulous time thanks to you! You became a part of the family! I have been reading your blog for a year and a half preparing for our trip. I had condensed your “one day at ____ park” posts to help us navigate each park we attended. I would start the day saying “My blogger says…” and away we would go to do as much as possible on your list of must dos. Our family loved having you with us on our adventures through the parks. Thanks to your advice and suggestions we were able to ride every ride we wanted to go on and see every show we wanted to see without waiting an excessive amount of time. We even got on the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance by following your suggestions of how to get on the app and get a place. My son is a fantastic gamer, so his fast fingers and your method resulted in all of us getting to ride – he captured a group 3. Thank you! Trying to plan a Disney World vacation is very overwhelming, so when I found your blog and started reading your suggestions, I was very happy. Then with COVID thrown into the mix, it was even more complicated. Thank you so much for your advice on everything from what to pack to how to navigate every park. You helped make our trip successful, fun, and memorable. Keep up the good work, and I hope others find your blog to help them plan their next Disney Vacation!
Hello Tom & Sarah,
My husband and I are celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary by taking our family (10 of us altogether) to Disney World in April/May 2022. We were thinking of celebrating our big day at Chef’s Domain at Citricos at the Grand Floridian but have since found out it is no longer. We liked that idea because of the wine room that was separate from the rest of the main dining area. Would you know of any other Disney World restaurant that would have a private/semi-private area for a group of somewhat boisterous, casual folk from Canada?
Hi Sarah & Tom,
My girlfriend and I will be staying at the Grand Floridian 9/22 to 10/1. Just wanted to thank you two for your very thorough work, and invite the two of you to catch a beer with us while we’re in town. Love to hear more about how you got into all this. Mahalo!
I’m visiting Walt Disneyland in Anaheim next month. I’m wondering if any of the restaurants serve the peanut butter and jelly sandwich sold in Hollywood Studios at the 50’s Primetime Cafe.
Thank you,
Prefrance
