Marathon Weekend 2018

[Keels]

I figured you being a veteran would know, Keels.

I was surprised when they closed the parks that year.
They turned a TON of people away!

I got a little nervous when MK went to phased closure the other day, but we’ve got ADRs in Epcot, we’re staying onsite, have APs and I’ll probably grab some throwaway FP+s for Pixar Shorts or whatever just to make sure all of our bases are covered!

Good thing my lucky Saints shirt can double as a festive NYE shirt!

The parks hardly ever go to full closure. In fact I believe there's only been 1 time since 2006 where there's been full closure. If you have an AP you should be good to go!

Yes full closure is unlikely but MK did go Phase B the other day.

Phase B is pretty common during the busy periods. As long as you are staying at a Disney resort or have an AP, you will be fine to get in.

Also, the only park that normally has any type of closure is MK. Due to Epcot's large capacity, anyone going there should be good for NYE.

I'm a fan of the Princessmen.

I saw them that year and had to get my pick with them.

Last time it went Phase B was well over a year ago so not incredibly common but like you said not too much to worry about either.

8. Enchiladas, guacamole and queso ... oh my!
9. Cheese
10. Cheesecake
11. Cheese Fries
12. Grilled Cheese

But yeah, pretty much.

Cheese fries are getting a bad deal 11. Let’s work on these rankings.

I'm only a fan of 1 Princessman....

He's going as Alice this year for PHM.

MK hit Phase B closure at Noon on NYE last year if my memory serves me right.

If we’re talking about spirits and liquor as standalones and NOT in a cocktail, then cheese fries are easily No. 3, with Mac ‘n’ Cheese at No. 4.

Ok now we’re talking.

Edit: I saw a picture of Mac n cheese someone got at AK and I have to find it next week. High priority.

Mmm...spirits! I'm drinking a Moscow Mule now.

@disneygirlsng, since you are a PT, am curious about your stance on dry needling? It seems to be all the rage and yes my PT does that including exercises, stretching and alignment corrections.

It is still pretty new so there isn't much research to support it's use. But there isn't much research that says it's bad or not effective either. I think the concept definitely has it's merits, it just comes down to executing it correctly and properly. It also has as much to do with what else you do with it. If that's all you do, it may not have much benefit compared to if you do other kinds of treatment.
It's a very niche type of PT and not something that is taught in DPT programs, it's an additional certification. It is not something that I am certified in so I really don't have a whole ton of experience with it other than lots of observation so it's hard for me to really persuade someone in one direction versus another on it.

 

[Keels]

Yup.

I fully support this quest.

Since we're discussing germs...I literally just bought a tub of clorox wipes for the plane seats. Followed by the discussion with my DD about the flu shot not being a great match this year. I'm considering picking up face masks at work tomorrow-for the plane and I'm not usually that much of a germaphobe.

I heard the flu shot this year has only a 10% success rate. Still, 10% is better than none, I suppose.

Always better to be extra cautious!

Eight Spoon Cafe has it https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/animal-kingdom/eight-spoon-cafe/menus/ It's already on my "must eats" for the trip, just the baked I get. They are kind of small, so a good snack or a couple for more of a meal is what I do.

Side note - I've been downing Apple Cider Vinegar to fight off anything...best stuff! I'll be bringing a bottle down with me too, down the hatch!
