HBD has always been a favorite for me. Service may be slower than many TS spots, but TBH, if I’m shelling out Signature prices, I may as well really linger and enjoy it. The atmosphere at HBD is probably the biggest selling point for me, save for the one time we were seated in that back room...

I’m not an AP, and my hard ticket was automatically linked to my MDE account for an upcoming After Hours event, and I was able to schedule FPS for the few hours before the event starts.

It sounds like she would be fine just about anywhere. I know that I thoroughly appreciated finer WDW establishments as a child.

I don’t really think it’s worth it’s Signature status (which wasn’t authentically earned anyway). That being said, it’s probably one of the better in-park places to get a steak.

Somewhat related - I received my D23 Gold Member gift last week and the reproductions of Mickey memorabilia are stunning. I got particularly giddy at the Disney Channel ‘83 premiere party napkin and the Tokyo Disneyland bag. The portrait looks great on the magazine cover. And first I wasn’t...

Sad to see RoE end as it’s got some of my fave park music. Glad I’ll get to see it a couple more times next year before it’s retired.

This thread is a total delight. Thanks to all!

I’ve been cautiously optimistic all along about this, but this trailer has taken me to truly enthusiastic. I am loving that they incorporated the 2D animation.

I lost 80 pounds 11 years ago and have kept it off. I stay very conscious of what I eat but vacation is a different story. A vacation should be just that - a vacation from all your normal routines and concerns. That being said, I don’t overdo it at the parks and resorts, but I don’t deprive...

I’ve stayed at all levels, as well as DVC, and I’ve never really had an issue with the values. Of course, I’d choose a deluxe if money were always no object, but the values have served me well on several occasions, POP and AoA being my preferred if going with that style. And as has been said...

Great lineup! Navigator and Black Hole were childhood fascinations for me and I’m so glad to see Bedknobs on TCM.

So many, but Grim Grinning Ghosts, Golden Dreams, the original Soarin’ and Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow are at the top. Also, I know it isn’t original music, but I love the Impressions de France score.

Agreed. To me, this is one of the better executed of the live action films. It’s not a remake so there’s no need to be tied to any specific story beats, which really freed the filmmakers to create something different. It’s heartwarming, small in the best way and surprisingly soul-stirring...

I’m relieved to see that it looks like a Disney film and tv library will anchor the service. I’m excited for new content but access to the library is one of the big draws for me.

My fave lobby smell is probably the Grand Flo. Closest I’ve found in the real world is Bath & Body Works’ Japanese Cherry Blossom scent.
