Diabetic posted:I'm a big food guy (Being diabetic makes you both love and hate food a lot) and I love stuff that is food referenced in different movies/shows. Is there some amazing food at WDW any of the resorts that has a movie connection? I heard about the "Grey Stuff" at the Beauty and the Beast restaurant but I had heard it's not that great. Post your favorite dishes and their connections! The Grey Stuff is a panna cotta. It's not bad but not worth seeking out or anything. Plus you'd have to reserve the fixed price $70 restaurant to get it anyway.

Nanigans posted:Sweet. The wife and I got our passholder previews for Tron. You 100% don't need a reservation, it comes with the booking. That's why you have to follow your blockout calendar for your pass type. It's a totally normal reservation too, so you can go to the park for opening on it if you want and hop after 2 regardless of your Tron time. It's believed Disney reduces the number of available passes in the AP pool for the preview days so that they can keep their numbers where they want them.

Braksgirl posted:Did they change it? Last time I had it it was mousse. I’ve only ever eaten breakfast and lunch there so maybe it’s different at dinner. Oh yeah oops, I forgot the word mousse there. It's a cookies and cream (Specifically Oreos, supposedly) panna cotta whipped into a mousse.

To (not) answer the original question though, outside of the Grey Stuff and the milks I can't think of any other in universe re-creation food at Disney. You have Butterbeer over at Universal, and the Simpsons food court has a bunch of them. That place is hell on earth though, I'd never go in there again.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Restaurant and food quality is one area where Universal is desperately behind Disney in offerings and quality. Beyond that, the quick service locations are typically slow and frustrating. The HHN food is so much better than the regular year-round stuff. It's still garbage, but it's different fun garbage.

The CM previews also allow 3 guests each. So this isn't just the employees being treated that way.

They hold specifically MK cast previews before the general ones too, I assume for that reason. The familiarity part, not the testing for head trauma part. I have a friend who works for Disney and she said when she went to sign-up she was just assigned a slot with seemingly no way to change it. It ended up being a day she's not even home. She does work for Disney corporate (software development stuff) and not in the parks but I don't imagine that makes a difference. They have all the same park perks, except for the fancier unlimited use guest entry. I'm in town the last 2 days of CM previews so we were trying to get a day then, but then the announced AP days are all during my trip so I got one of those.

Good-Natured Filth posted:When I was a kid, I was very short for my age, so one year my mom had me put rolled up washcloths in the heels of my shoes, so I could "gain" a few inches to ride Cedar Downs on our annual family trip to Cedar Point. It was the coolest thing as a kid, but probably not the smartest thing for us to do. Height requirements always have a solid buffer over the actual minimum safe height because you don't want a situation where someone is just barely safe because they just barely meet the requirement.

Midnight to buy Genie+ for the day. 7am for everything else, including your first actual Genie+ booking. That gives you ILL access before non-resort/day guests, but Genie+ and VQ are a free-for-all.

Nanigans posted:You have to be inside the park of choice for Boarding Groups which go up at 9 am. Not anymore thanks to park reservations. Now you can do it at 7am if you have one for the correct park that day. With the 1pm selection if there are still slots open after 2 and you've hopped you can get in those, and the 6pm one is also hopper friendly but only works for extended hours resort guests. Obviously if you were already in the park the whole time those are still available to you too, but you can only get one a day.

Hotels on the Skyliner have no busses to Epcot and DHS, except when it’s down. So you’d have to take the Skyliner from the international gateway entrance to Pop Century. Or bus to AK (closer than MK) then to Pop Century. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Feb 26, 2023 |

It runs for 60-90 minutes after park closing. The exact time depends on time of year, crowds, after hours events etc. so there's no hard published time. The Disney Springs busses run until 2am though so if the Skyliner is closed I guess they're an option.

If the last time you went was 4 years ago, Space 220 is new. 15 may be too old to really care about the gimmick though. A lot of people think it's overpriced, and objectively yeah you can get the same meal for a lot less outside of Disney... but that's true for every meal at Disney. I got the upgrade lobster and it was still very good. That said, if the eating in space gimmick doesn't appeal to him I'd skip it.

I imagine that’s why the marketplace is his territory at the moment. Nobody gets a photo with Mando in front of the Falcon. But really it’s probably for crowding mainly.

It’s also taking significant advantage of existing infrastructure too. Not that they can’t afford it, but the cost for building in a brand new area would be much higher.

Tusker House or Yak and Yeti are the other 2 restaurants at AK that take reservations. The new fast pass system is called Genie+. The base price is technically $15/person/day but it's never that low anymore and can get to about $25 on busy days. It's of limited use at DHS and AK. It can be pretty solid at MK though. But you can't use it for Rise of the Resistance. Rise has Individual Lightning Lane access, which means you pay $15 (each) to get a return time for it. However, ILL availability opens to Disney hotel guests at 7am while regular visitors have to wait for park opening, and next week is some prime spring break time so if you're not at a Disney hotel I wouldn't count on getting one. Silver lining, it's a pretty cool queue. Smugglers Run (the Falcon) has a single rider line that goes very fast, you're just going to get the Engineer chair 9 times out of 10 that way.

You may as well take a shot at the Rise ILL anyway. You can try once the park opens for the day (8:30 next week) and don’t have to actually be in yet, just have a park pass for the day.

Oh it’s not Florida spring break that does it. Most of Florida actually has theirs this upcoming week, and Orange/Osceola where Disney is just ended. It’s because from about week 2 of March through April somewhere in the world has spring break, and thousands of people decide to go to Disney during it.

Yeah the expensive ones use LEDs inside the blade too, so they're not just cheap plastic tubes. If you break one that's $50-60. The Tron ride will be available next week (starts today as a soft opening), so you may want to look into the virtual queue for that on your MK day. There's a VQ button right on the frontpage of the MDE app. What you do is wake up a few minutes before 7am, press that VQ button and refresh the poo poo out of the page until you hopefully get one. If the rest of your party for the day are your friends on the app you can queue all of them with you. The party creation opens a little before 7 so that it doesn't slow you down from trying to get a spot. Guardians has always been pretty easy but that's because it's in Epcot, not Magic Kingdom. There's a second try at 1pm too, but if you got a slot at 7 you can't get a second. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Mar 20, 2023 |

Just make sure you're on that app. VQ rides don't accept standby at all, though they do sell ILL for them.

Those don't come with a blade (except in the boxed bundles) so the price actually ends up being comparable. Unless you're buying one of the ~4 that are on sale currently. That said, getting a Savi's spot during spring break a week before may actually be impossible anyway.

The whole FX Elite line has better electronics with more effects. The original Force FX are comparable to Disney feature wise. The MSRP of FX Elite is actually like $275 though because of that, so Disney is significantly cheaper if you don't get a sale price. Even more so once you have a universal blade for the hilts. The Legacy Leia really sucks though, what makes the FX Elite worse?

I don't know if it was speculation or the actual law, but I had seen talk that actually removing the district would require a vote from the landowners (who are exclusively Disney I think?) and that's one of the other reasons DeSantis changed it instead of blowing it up.
