Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Don't know if this has been mentioned, but part of the renovation at the BYBBQ included the addition of Coke dispensers. If you remember it use to be tea, lemonade, water, beer and wine well we now have numerous Coke products. Also the new steam tables are now electirc instead of the old sterno burners. As usual the food and entertainment was wonderful. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And was thinking about taking my little girl to one or the other.If you go get there 45 minutes early to see Chip & Dale and Goofy (photos and autographs) Mickey and Minnie do the photos and autographs part way through the show and at the end. Mickey, Minnie and Goofy come out and dance with the kids (and adults) several times during the show as well. Chip and Dale come back out for the finale with the other 3.

As usual the food and entertainment was wonderful. It's been mentioned: But someone left the gate behind the stage at the Backyard BBQ open: So, I had to peek. Look what's posted on the wall next to the stage: That's the playlist for the Backyard BBQ. If you want to have a fun party some time, you could download those songs onto your iPod, and go to town. But I'd be ready to shoot myself if I had to listen to all these songs in one sitting: Hey, is that stolen property from the Contemporary Resort there on the stage?: As you may recall, the pavilion was shut down for a couple of months earlier this year while work was being done on it. It doesn't look like any of that work was done on the stage: Those drink machines in the back look new to me: Maybe I don't remember these because they wheel them in and out?: I sure don't remember these signs they have on the tops of the machines: I get the Bay Lake reference. And I know that Walt Disney's middle name was Elias, so I assume that's what the second sign is referring to. This ice cream freezer was plugged in and running, but it wasn't full of Mickey Premium Bars: This area back here used to be part of River Country, and it doesn't look much different now than it did then: Here's something new. There used to be a tree here. A River Birch. With an identifying sign and everything. Now, it's a nice drainage area: But, you still get credit for posting about an actual visit to the Backyard BBQ. And you get credit for reporting on the new steam tables. So good job. TCD BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5kidsmommy 18 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 We've never done Mickey's Backyard BBQ, I'm wondering if older kids would enjoy it? On our last trip we did no character meals, the kids just weren't into it, they preferred eating sushi in Epcot. But I love character meals and if you all think the kids would enjoy it, I'd drag them all over there. Plus we all love a decent bbq. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You do alright for an old guy. I didn't know they didn't serve Coke products there before. You do a good job keeping us up to date on new developments- so please keep it up. By the way- I've been meaning to check- is the calliope in the horse barn? With the posts lately about the truck and trailer being moved, I've wondered if something has happened or is about to happen with the calliope. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Nevermind, I just answered my own question by walking through a reservation. Wow. Pricey for a party of 7. I was shocked at the price when I reserved for 10 adults and 2 kids at the HDDR and had to pay when I made the reservation. I thought it was like a room reservation and you could pay just a little or pay when you arrived. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
