    August 2020 Reservations-still going?

    THANK goodness that out trip was last year as if we were scheduled this Aug of 2020 it would be 1000% canceled. With this covid19 still going crazy and seeing on how Florida is RED HOT spot for this, I mean 200+ new cases with the Orlando airport employees alone, now way no how, plus WDW is...

    Had the pleasure of eating there 2 times this past August and saw all kinds of dress, shorts to jeans to suits, so I would not worry about it......

    Do the snack carts accept Disney or Visa gift cards?

    This is a good idea as we had a cart I was getting some popcorn and a drink that did not take anything but cash, it was in the AK just outside of Bugs life. Not sure what the deal was but CM was a bit difficult to understand, so we ended up paying cash, the only time I had to use cash at WDW.....

    Boma

    Best buffet on site! So much and so varied, there is something for all! As was mentioned save at least 1 hour to look around and head out to the savanna view trail, lots of animals to see, have fun!

    What restaurant surprised you?

    This past August we went to BOG in the MK before the MNSSHP and was very pleased! Food was hot, fresh and very good, scallops and lamp chops were cooked perfect, with all the "dis"ing in here we went in expecting ho-hum and got awesome food!

    Le Cellier no availability at 180 day window for full 9 night trip!?

    Even with all the "dis"ing (ha) in here about LC this is still can be a difficult ADR to get. Our trip in August all we could get was 4PM, but kept trying and ended up getting 6PM, took some time and was about 30 days out but be patient and keep trying, god luck!! The meal was awesome BTW!!

    Jiko vs California Grill

    Both are very good, we had the pleasure in eating at BOTH of them this past August and IMHO I say CG is a step above Jiko. Service was better and more attentive, so good we ate at CG twice during our stay. Jiko, did the wine tasking and dinner later in the night, was pleasantly surprised, really...

    Worst meal experience?

    For us this past August it was YUK and Yeti, cold, bland soggy food, typical Laundrys cafeteria food, avoid at all costs!!

    Cinderella's Royal Table - can't modify reservation?

    The only way I know of where you can go and change is if you have the DxDP, we used it this past August and was able to make several changes to where we ended up making it a PPO ADR and was nice to walk into the MK with nobody else around! It was odd at first as all we saw were CM directing us...

    DXDP and pre paid reservations.

    As was stated, all but the FOTLK you can use your DxDP credits, all you will need is a CC to insure you will show up or will be charged. We did all of those on our August trip this year(2019) and LOVED them all. FOTLK you pay after you eat, our show was at 3 so we had to swing by Tiffins before...

    Dinner at Wave before Pirates and Pals???

    We went on the P&P FW cruise this past August and was so much fun! It was just my wife and myself and had a blast, it is geared more toward the kids but the cruise captain was VERY interactive he kept all of us involved! It is a total desert type of snacks with a few savory items and veggies but...

    California Grill Second Chance?

    Nothing worse then a chewy, tough EXPENSIVE steak but to be honest I would have said something about it to the server this way they have a chance in making it right, not sure why some just sit and take it, it is YOUR money...... Now we had the pleasure in eating there twice this past August and...

    People getting trashed in the parks

    While we were there in August I saw plenty of people in the parking lot BEFORE getting to the parks that were "trashed" blaming Disney for peoples actions is trashed, we spent 3 days in HS (SWGE opening day was a full day) and did not see stumbling people, FWIW......YMMV.....
