🍿🍺Grab your Disney popcorn and beer and chee

🍿🍺Grab your Disney popcorn and beer and cheers because dining reservations are now open for all guests. A few important reminders:
.
▪️Reservations can only be made up to 60 days in advanced.
.
▪️For in-park dining, you need both valid theme park admission and a park reservation to book table-service dining.
.
▪️For Disney Resort hotel table-service, day guests (those not saying overnight) must have a dining reservation. Hotel dining reservations are also highly recommended for guests who are staying overnight.
.
With limited capacity and social distracting measures put in place, reservations may go fast, so I would try to book as soon as possible. 👍

It’s hard to believe that Walt Disney World’s

It’s hard to believe that Walt Disney World’s phased reopening officially begins in just 5 days. 🤯😱
.
I know many are both excited and nervous to visit and there are some who don’t think anyone should be traveling right now. Even more so, many don’t think WDW should reopen since the pandemic is still happening.
.
I think if people would just wear a mask, wash their hands, and social distance we could get this under control and maybe even still do the things we love (like travel) until there’s a vaccine or something to help, but that’s sadly not our reality. This is going to be our “normal” for awhile and everyone better just realize that.
.
When it comes to tourism, well, I think it’s a tough situation because so many people need tourists to survive financially, especially in Orlando. Do we stop traveling? I don’t think it’s a simple yes or no answer. I have a WDW trip in August and I’m still planning on going. I trust myself to travel and, yes, I know I’d be taking a risk. I also know I will follow the rules and even self-quarantine before and after my trip. But, I know that doesn’t mean I can trust others. My plan right now is to follow along with those who attend WDW’s reopening and see how it goes. Who knows if Disney will be as safe I hope it will be.🤷‍♀️
.
Do you agree with WDW’s reopening and people traveling? Are you heading to WDW or have any other trips planned?

Did you see Jeff Vahle, the Walt Disney World Pres

Did you see Jeff Vahle, the Walt Disney World President Resort, shared some behind-the-scenes photos of Animal Kingdom getting ready for its reopening (head to his Instagram ➡️ @jeffvahle)?🦒🐘There was even a picture of one of the water cavalcades guests will get to enjoy upon reopening (AK reopens on July 11). There are actually quite a few character cavalcades throughout each park, since parades and character meet and greets are temporarily suspended. 🥳 They sound super fun and cute! Swipe for more details.

It’s hard to believe it’s already July, let al

It’s hard to believe it’s already July, let alone Fourth of July weekend. 🇺🇸 Normally, I’d probably be grabbing drinks with friends and hanging with extended family, but for obvious reasons that’s not happening this year. Instead, I’ll be practicing social distancing by chilling at home, taking it easy, and definitely having a few beverages.🍺🍻 You don’t need a massive party or event to have fun or enjoy a holiday. 😎
.
It seems like many don’t seem to really care about the whole pandemic and aren’t concerned about physical distancing or wearing masks. Hopefully this weekend doesn’t cause a major spike in cases, but let’s face it, many just don’t want to be told what to do. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, wearing a mask isn’t that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, so just do it. 😷 With that, stay safe and enjoy the weekend! 💙❤️

UPDATE ➡️ Both Ferry Boats and the Monorail wi

UPDATE ➡️ Both Ferry Boats and the Monorail will reopen on July 7, instead of July 11. Disney hasn’t specified that the Epcot Monorail will be closed, but there have been reports it will be — the same with Grand Floridian boats. Reopening dates haven’t been announced yet for Minnie Vans and Watercraft options, like Sassagoula and Friendship boats.
...........
If you didn’t see yesterday, we have some Walt Disney World transportation updates ⬇️
.
🚡 The Disney Skyliner resumes operation on July 15 (the same day Epcot and Hollywood Studios reopen)
.
🚇 The Monorail resumes partial operation beginning July 11. Only the Magic Kingdom routes will reopen (resort, MK, and express lines). The Epcot monorail doesn’t not currently have a reopening date.
.
⛴ Resort boats at Polynesian and Wilderness Lodge will reopen on July 11( Grand Floridian boats don’t have a reopening date yet and most likely due to the NBA’s stay when their season resumes)
.
🚤 Sassagoula boats and Friendship boats don’t have reopening dates right now.
.
Keep in mind: Disney transportation will follow social distancing rules and will have limited capacity, so there may be delays. When I spoke with the CM who booked my dining the other day, they told me to budget at least 90 minutes for Disney transportation (that’s 30 minutes more than I normally would). So, if you don’t have a car or aren’t renting one, make sure you give yourself enough time for travel, especially if you have dining or experience bookings.

What. A. Journey. Who knew booking dining reservat

What. A. Journey. Who knew booking dining reservations would give me a headache? 🤕 I need Joffrey’s more than ever right now.
.
So, here’s the deal. Yesterday, I thought I could book dining for my August trip since I had a May 24 dining reservation that was canceled and my trip is less than 60 days out. Then, Disney made an update stating that guests who had active dining reservations between May 28 and Sept. 2, 2020 could only rebook today. BUT, Disney also sent me an email saying I WAS eligible. Confusing? Yes, I know, and even more so when others who were in the same boat as me weren’t having problems.
.
I tried booking online this morning, but I kept getting a message that I couldn’t. I chatted with a CM online, who said I was eligible, but we couldn’t get it to work. I was on hold for almost 2 hours waiting for the dining team and hung up after @brookegmcdonald suggested calling (407) 939-7866. I got through basically right away (I redialed multiple times until the busy signal stopped) and was able to book all my dining for August! 🙌🥳 If you’re having the same issue, try this number and hopefully it works.
.
If you do book over the phone, you may have to link your dining manually for reservations to show up in your plans in My Disney Experience. I had to do this and also update the guests in my party from my Family and Friends list. I’m good to go now!
.
With that, where did I book? Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater 🚀, Kona Cafe 🥞 , and Tony’s Town Square🍝. We didn’t do any character dining this time, because they’re extremely limited and it’s a shorter trip. I’d rather soak up as much of the parks as I can, especially since the hours are reduced. And we booked breakfast at Kona on our Epcot day, since the park doesn’t open until 11. 👏
.
Did you book dining today? How did it go for you?

🚨First, let me say that, yes, I previously shared this news very early this morning. But, even though the link was live, the actual purchasing button wasn’t yet working and it was all sorts of confusing, so that’s why I deleted my original post and am sharing it again.
.
With that, from what I’ve seen, you can actually now purchase standalone WDW tickets for 2021 — and, yes, add-ons are available (Park Hopper, Park Hopper Plus, Water Park and Sports).
.
It’s still unclear how the Disney Park Pass System will work with park hoppers. Don’t forget that park reservations are available through Sept. 26, 2021 and that all guests need both a park reservation and valid theme park admission for entry.
.
Remember: 2020 sales for tickets & hotels are supposed to resume later this summer based on availability of park reservations.
.
Also: At this time, new ticket sales and new annual pass sales are temporarily paused, but current APs can still renew. Disney has stated, “Existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders will be able to make reservation requests before new tickets and annual passes are sold. Additional details will be shared with existing ticket holders soon.”

I know there are a lot of opinions about Splash Mo

I know there are a lot of opinions about Splash Mountain being reimagined as a Princess and the Frog attraction. 🐸 👑
.
But, allow me to list the many positives that come with this change:
.
💫 Princess and the Frog is one of the best Disney movies and deserves to have an attraction, not to mention more love in the parks (I know many wanted Tiana to have her OWN ride, but based on the concept art and the fact that Disney has been working on this for over a year, I think, are both good signs)
.
💫 The ride celebrates the first black Disney Princess — and Tiana is amazing! She deserves all the love!
.
💫 There will be so many Disney fans who can relate to the ride and will FEEL REPRESENTED
.
💫 It honors a movie, characters, and storyline that aren’t racist
.
💫 We get to see Princess Tiana in her human form (the ride will tell a story AFTER the final movie scene, so she won’t be a frog!)
.
💫 Oh, and the more Louis and his music, the better
.
So, yeah, lots of positives here. I’m all for changes on rides when it’s necessary, just like when Pirates of the Caribbean transformed the auction scene and introduced Redd as a pirate and not a wench being sold. Plus, who knows, this might also mean that beignets will finally be sold in a WDW theme park. Either way, I’m excited about it. 💜
