Proper mobile order etiquette if your order isn't ready yet, don't worry you can just spread your arms out and cover the entire pickup table so the people behind you can't get theirs

My Orlando local friend and I just realized the weekend I'll be down there for work is going to be the weekend between festivals, so we can't stuff ourselves with kiosk food as planned. Boo! Silver lining is we can try all the regular Epcot menus I typically ignore. What are everyone's non-festival go-to picks for eating and drinking around the world? (In an and/or sense, I probably won't want to get super sloppy drunk but it'd be fun to try something in every country.) Either snack-size or larger but reasonably easy to split.

Troll horns and school bread in Norway are my favorite things. I also can't say no to most things in that one bakery at the back of France. I also usually bring extra money for myself to get lit at La Cava inside the Mexico pavilion (the one inside the pyramid, to the right). Aphrodite posted:The brioche ice cream sandwich in France. My wife grabbed one of those last time we were there and I was so mad at myself for not having discovered its majesty years sooner.

Spice Road Table in general is an amazing shout. It's just really spectacularly well done middle eastern/Mediterranean food.

If you don't get the fish and chips from the stand in England at least once in a trip, did you really go to Epcot? It's a snack sized portion if you're brave enough

Asehujiko posted:I went to Phantasialand's Wintertraum when it was around 5C and all major rides were quite doable since they're dug into the terrain or between buildings. Having a thick, padded coat also made some of the rougher ones like the Winjas a bit more comfortable. How was the winter event? I have been to Phantasialand a few times but not the winter event yet. I’m planning to go next January.

The fish and chips at both Cooke’s and Yorkshire are absolutely outstanding, at least the way I like fish and chips. Last time I was there it looked like they put an entire fried cod on top of my basket. If you’re at Cooke’s you should be eating a Hog in a Box instead though.

Cooke's used to be great. In 2022 they were mediocre, and American-styled. The burger was depressingly "not durty" too. Probably wouldn't have bothered me as much if I hadn't moved to London a few months beforehand and was missing a good Dublin chipper. Hog in a box is not proper chipper food

Oh good so you’re the guy who went to Italy for a few months in college and now every time someone here asks how you’re enjoying your pizza you sigh and roll your eyes I’m just kidding Arquinsiel you know I love you. I haven’t eaten at Cooke’s since probably 2020 so I don’t know how bad it’s declined. I just love my boxed hog.

It's now an Epcot tradition to stop by and just get an order of chips. Best fries on property by a landslide.

Like I said, this is specifically what they’re trying to avoid, and is the reason basically every ride system except for the potter ride is a tested and known good system from a manufacturer with a good track record (well, except for the HTTYD coaster, it’s the same system as Hagrid so it’ll be perpetually broken for the first four months too)

I know there's a few level changes so that makes me think the modified version may be trackless since that seems like it would be easier to accomplish with a trackless dark ride, but that's baseless speculation on my part. This is the ride we know the least about though, mostly because of how late they pivoted to MoM from whatever Fantastic Beasts stuff was going on.

I'm doing a family disney trip with my kids and my wife's siblings this May and am looking for some general information. We have tickets, and a place to stay, but have no idea how best to go about the 2 days that we have there. Is anything in the initial post from 2016 still applicable or is there a new place to look?

Tim Whatley posted:I'm assuming if I buy a UOAP that it will absolutely not include Epic Universe next year? I suspect not. Since Universal insists that Volcano Bay is the third park, anyone who had a pass at the time needed to upgrade to a 3-Park Pass. I suspect that will probably be the case with Epic, and I heard a rumor that they might not even have annual passes when it first opens. That being said, as far as I know nothing official has been announced.

Yeah they just explicitly call them 2 and 3 park passes right now, so they've covered themselves there.

Hutzpah posted:Oh right. Disney world. To be honest, 2 days is not a lot of time to explore the parks. What things does your family like? For example if you’re a Star Wars nut you’ll want to hit up Hollywood Studios for Galaxy’s Edge. If they like classic Disney stuff, then Magic Kingdom. Frozen fans? Epcot. I would go to the website and look at the attractions and prioritize what rides you want to do and go from there.

Hutzpah posted:Oh right. Disney world. Second: Two days is not enough. If at all possible, can you make it four or five days? Otherwise, we're going to have to do some massive triage to get you to your highest priorities, because you literally cannot see all of Disney World in two days.

Depending on the age of the kids, 2 days can be a good spot for your first go. I've seen families with toddlers absolutely wiped by the start of day 3 and none of them have fun. Do a single park per day. Magic Kingdom as one since it has all the classic Disney attractions as well as the most to do, then your choice of the others depending on which one catches your fancy. Animal Kingdom would be my recommendation for the complete contrast to MK and tons of cool stuff for kids that don't require long waits. Do research the attractions at each (including character meet and greets for the kids, shows/parades/fireworks, and the big rides you want to do) and ask here for advice on planning, but don't stress too much about trying to do it all in a single day. Go in with a loose plan and try to go with the flow and relax and enjoy it. There's zero pressure to try and see it all in any number of days.

I don’t go to any of the parks more than a day and it’s plenty of time to do what I want. Unless you gotta ride every ride it should be fine. Disneyland is so small anyway so you can get around quicker.
