Also wanted to put out another request… If anyone will be in The World anytime soon, and will be staying on property, would you kindly post your resorts recreational calendar for us? We’d really appreciate it! @HokieRaven5 is keeping a list updated on Page 1 for anyone interested. Thanks so much!!
Checking into Riviera today so I will report back 😊
 
Best Bites From Reopenings on the Horizon: Jiko – The Cooking Place, The Turf Club Bar and Grill, Flying Fish and More!

The chefs from Flying Fish over at Disney’s BoardWalk are ready to welcome you back on Jan. 27 with their signature seafood dishes. Enjoy a taste of luxury with unrivaled flavors, sustainable seafood, and steak offerings.

Get ready for a night at the races again starting on Feb. 3 with a nice trip out to Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. Here you’ll find The Turf Club Bar and Grill, a special spot with a reputation for delicious American flavors in every dish. Begin your evening on a high note right out of the gate with the New York Cider-braised Mussels appetizer flavored with garlic, chorizo, fennel, Fresno chili, and apple cider topped with a grilled baguette.

Beginning on Feb. 17, venture over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to savor the tastes and flavors of African, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisine at Jiko – The Cooking Place. As this spot welcomes you again, try the Seafood Tagine. Filled with prawns, scallops, squid, and Littleneck clams, this dish is a shellfish lover’s dream!

Over at Cape May Café on Feb. 15, embrace the New England vibes as you once again feast upon an all-you-care-to-enjoy, buffet breakfast with tasty items like pull-apart bread with vanilla sauce, beef hash, and an omelet station. And what breakfast is complete without Mickey and Minnie waffles? As the sun goes down, the buffets keep coming with options like cornbread, seasonal harvest salad, seafood boil, and a daily carving station, just to name a few. You can also choose to upgrade your meal with snow crab legs or even a whole lobster, both purchased by the pound. It’s best to bring your appetite for these exciting returns because you’ll want a bite of everything!

Next door at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort starting Jan. 31, the Ale & Compass Restaurant is back with some returning breakfast options and exciting, new lunch offerings. Start off by indulging in one of the delicious à la carte entrées, like Blueberry Bacon Pancakes. And don’t forget to enhance your breakfast with a tasty buffet filled with dazzling additions to your entrée, including pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits, overnight oats, and house-made cheddar biscuits with country gravy. What a perfect start to your Disney day.

Starting Jan. 20, you can begin booking reservations to ensure you get your taste of these fantastic locations.

Awesome news!!!!
 
So, I wonder if this is the case or if it's being reported more. That said, it certainly does seem to be more prevalent since they reopened in July of 2020.
It does make you wonder if people are just posting it more or it's happening more but I think everyone's on edge after dealing with the pandemic for so long...

Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this question, but we're planning on being in Epcot on May 16 and my sons had requested Garden Grill for dinner. Right now the concert is TBD so I don't know who's playing and odds are it's probably not someone my sons would be interested in seeing. Do we have to book the package for $66 or can we just pay the $55/person as usual?

You should still be able to book a reservation at Garden Grill and not be obligated to get the dining package.
