I need some advice on character meals. The next Disney trip is for my brother-in-law's birthday. He enjoys Disney, but has only really been interested since seeing my niece!a enjoyment of it last year. We want to do one or two character m More...
Pirates dinner near Medieval Times. It's not Disney or free, but it has pirates and booze. - Mouse4life1059.6 #80 5-14-13 3:42PMLike Reply

Yeah, you won't find what you're looking for at DLR. - MrsSchnooks 573.0 #192 5-14-13 3:49PM
Someone mentioned Pirate's Dinner Theater - there is a coupon code for buy-one-get-one deals there in my local community mailer. I can send you the code if you want. - FanofGaston72.9 #3358 5-14-13 4:01PMLike Reply
It's free if YOU buy his meal. - meridafan1035.5 #83 5-14-13 4:21PMLike Reply
Thanks for the thoughts, everyone. We're trying to figure out the best way to pick a meal. Is it what my niece will enjoy the most, so vicarious enjoyment for the rest of us? Is it the best-tasting food? Best characters? Convenience? Lots of stuff to consider! We know there are no free meals with rum, darnit. ;) - Manawalea9.6 #6882 5-14-13 4:25PMLike Reply
I'm in the middle of a subtly Disney themed wedding reception. Dinner was just served to the music of Be Our Guest and the bride and I may have been the only ones singing along. Then Hakuna Matata started and my friend and I just gave it. More...
Unless an eagle-eyed kid found it already, I tucked a Chunk keychain behind the sign on a glasses return bin at TSMM.

Teeny tiny in-park RAK. I'll be heading to DCA in a bit with a Chunk keychain. I'm probably heading to Soaring' and then World of Color. My shirt is kinda hard to miss and I'll be wearing my glow with the show ears.
Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm on an iPod do I can't update my location. But I think my shirt can be seen from space so that helps. - Manawalea9.6 #6882 7-8-12 7:26PMLike Reply
I did the Cultivating The Magic tour today. I thought it was quite a fun tour. It can still use a little tweaking and smoothing, but there were lots of interesting stories and walking on to three attractions. Jungle Cruise and Storybook More...

I just saw about the new Cultivating the Magic tour. So excited! I guess I'm not the only one who thought a garden tour of Disney would be awesome. Anyone else thought the same thing?
Really, those aeoniums are just so beautiful!
What a great idea...just something else to add to my to do list. - dawna286.9 #686 5-12-12 8:49AMLike Reply
I am definitely putting this on my list. - Eraf61264.6 #872 5-12-12 9:03AMLike Reply
They take reservations 30 days in advance. Looks like it runs Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings. Here's where I saw the info. So excited! Plant geeks unite! http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2012/05/disneyland-resort-guided-tours-cultivating-the-magic/ - Manawalea 9.6 #6882 5-12-12 9:24AM
I was thinking of signing up for this tour. Have any MWers been on it yet? If so, was it worthwhile? - mistereeyore78.9 #3292 5-22-12 5:07PMLike Reply
So, say you have a hungry toddler who's going to melt down soon if you don't get a real meal into her. Do you find counter service or preferred seating at table service faster? I know counter service is almost instant food, but do the lin More...
I'm really not sure, but if you are hesitating or dithering, just get her a churro or pretzel while you decide, lol. That's what my husband does for me when he spots a meltdown coming! 😂 - Spoonful_O_Sugar436.2 #285 5-7-12 8:46PMLike(2) Reply
Haha-that was going to be my suggestion also. Nothing beats a mm pretzels when your in a bind! Always bring little bags of grapes and cheese sticks to go along with it and crisis averted - JNewie 226.4 #1287 5-7-12 8:54PM
LOL mine gets me watermelon or icecream! - Boundin 425.0 #299 5-7-12 8:57PM
It depends on the time of day and what part of the park you're in. If I needed to get something to eat quickly I often will walk for a bit to find a quick service location with short lines. Based on my experiences the quick service in Toontown, the one at the Princess Fantasy Faire (across from It's a Small World) and the Stagedoor Cafe at the Golden Horseshoe are usually pretty fast. Pizza Port can also be quick but if they don't have enough cashiers it takes forever to pay. We don't eat at DCA enough for me to give any useful info. - BlueberryCrusader650.7 #161 5-7-12 8:48PMLike Reply
I used to give him so many snacks in line to keep him busy and he would never complain he's hungry, now he's pickier so its not as easy - MarshaMouse2835.6 #16 5-7-12 9:36PMLike Reply
Wait till he hits his teen years. He'll eat anything and everything and even something. My son sure does, and he grows an inch a day I swear. 😁😄😄 - DisneyFanZoe 1096.7 #75 5-7-12 10:09PM
I have to agree with many above- never leave home without a bag full of snacks and treats. Crisis avoided! - MoonWillow367.6 #377 5-7-12 9:59PMLike Reply
Hi Disneyworld people! My friend's heading down there tomorrow and has volunteered shopping services. Has anyone seen PookALooz there recently? And I assume grape soda pins are as scarce as at Disneyland. Thanks for your help and have a m More...

I'm probably late to the party, but I just saw this tidbit on doombuggies.com. Haunted Mansion wallpaper anyone?
I love that the name of the colour is Ashes of Rose. Perfectly ghoulish!

Thanks! If there isn't a Disney theme, I still want to count down to my trip. And try not to drive everyone crazy in the meantime! - Manawalea 9.6 #6882 1-17-12 9:39PM
Agreed, I love this one so much I might pay for the full version! - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 1-17-12 9:41PM
Well, I'll be there for the 4th which is interesting crowd-wise and also as a Canadian! Interesting to see how another country celebrates its day, especially in such an iconic place. - Manawalea 9.6 #6882 1-17-12 6:12PM
Oooh that will be interesting for you! - ladylikesdisney 921.5 #95 1-17-12 9:41PM

I would call the merch number. They may still have it in the parks. Last saw the Stitch one in the Emporium, but since its under renovation, I don't know if they still have it - BaseballMickey_CM2849.3 #15 8-9-11 1:42PMLike Reply

Yes, thank you for the custodial CMs! They make our job a lot better and safer and are always available to help us with anything. We even let them "shop" and look around our store. They were the first line of business that was created by Walt because he wanted to clean DL as clean as possible - BaseballMickey_CM2849.3 #15 8-4-11 9:11PMLike Reply
My first memories of Disneyland are how clean the park was and all the people in white cleaning up with their brooms and dust pans. They make the magic sparkle. - rainbowlite13.5 #5911 8-4-11 9:11PMLike Reply
