Yes, I remember the breakfast with Pocahontas, and I could see them adding in some sort of breakfast meal there. However, I too find it hard to believe they would drastically alter the restaurant and create another cookie cutter meal serving chicken nuggets or a buffet. Not to mention that those characters don't go at all with the theming of the resort. But, as I said, take it with a grain of salt.

So, take this with a grain of salt, but the rumor (as tweeted by Len Testa) is that after AP closes in October for a scheduled refurb, it will reopen as a character meal with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, initially for dinner but expected to expand to lunch and breakfast. This popped up over the weekend and was the source of quite a bit of chatter on other boards that shall not be named and the distwitter/disfacebook news sites. If true, this will absolutely SMB as it's one of our favorite restaurants... Original link from wdwinfo: http://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/artist-

We will be there at the end of September, but during the week ( it's a mess on the weekends, live and learn...). And diving at the Living Seas is on my bucket list.

I believe the 2200 & 2300 loops are the pet friendly loops. Not sure where I read that, though.

Still not as good as the sweet & spicy chicken waffle. Just IMHO.

And don't forget the Great Movie Ride!

My son was hiking at red rocks on the 29th! Not sure when you were there. The Avett Brothers were playing that weekend, he said.

Yes! The Wild Center is a fun day. When my kids were younger we went a couple of times. Tupper Lake is in the middle of nowhere, though.

Man, and I thought we had a solid ten-day trip in April at 2400 miles..

Exactly

No, it's because Someone ordered a PB&J Milkshake not knowing there was peanut butter in it. Vacation ruined! (No disrespect meant to those with peanut allergies, we have a kid with allergies so we get it)

I think the coaster idea was a good middle ground for people that either weren't aware of the 'antics' in the restaurant, or for people that know and choose not to be involved. That's also great that there is a side room that's a little quieter for people who choose to enjoy things from a distance. However, this is an example of Disney rolling over for all the complainers and special interest groups to make everything as plain vanilla and unobjectionable as possible. I've also heard rumors that the cast members at the Prime Time Diner at DHS have been told to tone it down. Let's face it,

The reason given in that article, official or not, was ‘complaints by customers’. Too many traumatized cupcakes, I guess

Because 7 ate nine?

I finally wrote a note to guest services about the change (pretty much what I posted here), and just received a standard canned response. — Dear (Me), Thank you for your email regarding our policy for overnight resort parking. We must occasionally make adjustments based on a variety of factors, including alignment with our domestic resorts in California and Hawaii. As you mentioned in your correspondence, the industry standard for full-service hotels is to charge a parking fee. The policy r

FAKE NEWS

I believe long term parking at HPN is $30/24 hours, at least that’s what we paid the last time.

We spend a lot of time up in the Adirondacks, it's so nice up there. Let me know when you're getting close and I can give you some recommendations for things to do in the area.

But it's the Best Kept Disney Secret!

Totally agree. I wonder how long it will be before DVC starts feeling the crunch. It's certainly no value anymore, unless the intent is to herd their 'loyal repeat visitors' even more towards DVC purchase to maintain the 'discounts' that they already enjoy (free parking, no resort fees, etc). It's funny how many people we know with younger kids making their first trips to WDW and totally overspending on everything now. Disney gives the hard sell on the dining plan, especially the top tier one - who the heck can eat two or three sit down meals a day? Heck, who can get the reservations? And

This totally sucks. I'm going to state bluntly that the mouse has totally turned me off with a lot of the stuff they are doing lately, and I think this is the straw that breaks the camel's wallet. Pretty sure I'm going to spend the next few years checking out other parts of the country and skiing in the winter as opposed to giving them my $$. Might squeeze in a Food & Wine trip, but it's getting to the point that I can't justify the costs for the benefits any more. Especially with a large family and limited lodging options. Maybe after the 50th hoopla has come and gone we'll plan a fa

I brew beer, and my first thought was to try this for making hard cider as well!
