Don't worry, Mickey's Backyard Massage Parlor and Casino will continue to feature weiner roasts and 2 for 1 cocktails every Tuesday from 9-11pm. Tell 'em Minnie sent you and enjoy a free Mickey bar, while supplies last.

My sources tell me that Disney is planning on remodeling Cali Grill next year into the Top Of The World Frozen Fireworks Dessert Party. Stuff yourself with cupcakes and macarons while mingling with Anna, Elsa and Sven, then enjoy an underwhelming sideways view of Happily Ever After with piped in music, all for just $139/pp.

The saddest part of this to me isn't losing Artist Point, it's how this is going to impact Territory Lounge.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't build in another full serve restaurant when the built the new DVC. Like they have at Kidani Village. A small, intimate, higher end place.

Are you actually finding tables available?

Based upon availability in the Disney Dining ADR system, this change may happen after November 10. That is the last evening that reservations are available. When the rumors began a few days ago, I had checked availability in the system for breakfast ADR's (there was nothing showing of course), and I thought I'd seen that dinner ADR's into the winter were available. I wonder what the plan is re: existing reservations holders, if the shift to character dining occurs within the time that people hold ADR's, which it presumably will. Give them the opportunity to have their romantic date ni

Daughters grow up too fast.

I love western trip reports. That scenery never gets old.

That's a beautiful cathedral. Can you imagine the construction on that...considering it was built in the 1300's! They didn't exactly have cranes to work with. Did you see that church that's been under construction forever? Is that also in Barcelona? That church has always fascinated me.

Oswald!

I really enjoyed the grand gatherings we did at Desoto. Even if one of them was cold and rainy. We liked Mentone too. Ate at a really good place... think it was called Wildflower.

Next time have her stay off site. Like Cleveland.

I'm looking forward to reading about all the wings you ate at the Crown and Fin pub.

Ain't that the truth. How many cargo ships full of Disney crap come over from China every year? And beyond the actual crap they sell, what about all the plastic and cardboard the toys are packaged in? How many of you parents have cursed the Mouse on Christmas morning when your kid wants to play with the new toy, but it takes you 20 minutes to free it from its cocoon of plastic, which then goes into a huge trash bag with all the other plastic and cardboard from the assorted Barbies, Fisher Price toys, and Disney princess garbage? I get the straw thing, but that seems small compared to all t

We finally saw it last Friday at the free outdoor movies they do in my town on Friday evenings. For the first hour I kept thinking how weird the movie was. By the end I really liked it though.

Everything on the menu at Chick fil A is under $7 too.

I have alerted the Royal Palm Railway to order more wine....

Fortunately no toad.

When you paste the image address from google photos, you have to right click on the photo and select "copy image address". Paste that here as the URL under "insert other media", but you must add ?.jpg at the end of what pastes from Google before entering. The address from Google will be REALLY long. For example...

Sounds like we should have had a GG on the bridge.

If you have a $2.5MM motorhome, what's a $700,000 bungalow?

Me too.

The thing is....we paid about 35% less than we've paid for a Premium site at the Fort. Here's some pics of the inside of the bungalow from the website. Some of the bungalows in the newer phase of the resort are unbelievable....LOTS bigger and more luxurious. Check this pic out... Anyways....the fishing up there is supposedly pretty awesome. There sure are a lot of people doing it. And the boats....it's amazing how many boats are in that area, especially considering the short season.

We drove over it on our way to and from Michigan. You drove underneath an array of sensors and cameras. I also had my Sunpass but to date no activity has posted. I just looked on the RiverLink website and apparently they don't take Sunpass. I anticipate I'll receive a bill at some point. I've driven highways with similar setups before and it's taken 6-8 weeks to get one.

There's your retirement project.
