Marathon Weekend 2024

SAFD:

I’ve had a few photos that I took during the Enchantment fireworks in the past couple years printed on canvas that I’ve hung up:

This one is surrounded by a couple of Funko displays (most of which are Disney):

And I also have the canvas print I got at Festival of the Arts a few years back:View attachment 805921

Either my cold is making me delirious or I should change my morning coffee from decaf to regular, but I swear when my eyes first saw that FoA print, I saw onion rings in the tree.

Either my cold is making me delirious or I should change my morning coffee from decaf to regular, but I swear when my eyes first saw that FoA print, I saw onion rings in the tree.

Maybe you’re just hungry?

For real though, the leaf swirls do kinda look like onion rings

I've been lurking for a bit after LOTS of travel, but happy to jump into the SAFD this week to show off my new guest room! We put the animation cells we've had in storage, our Jungle Cruise painting and our gift for being founding owners of AKV Kidani all up in here, too. This was such fun to put together!



Yes, that's a hidden Oswald over there:

We are sort of half packed for a hopeful move next year and didn't put a lot of stuff back up after some home improvements but we do have this on our front door:



One of the less important things I'm looking forward to with the new house is more room to put out all of the Disney stuff we have.

 

[Bree]

SAFD: Super boring in my house. A couple of mugs and I have the 50th license plate and will probably change to the new one.

 

[azrivest]

SAFD: I like puzzles

 

[camaker]

I’ve got bits of Disney spread throughout my house, so I’ll just provide one example. This is the bed in my guest room/home office.

 

[JAMIESMITH]

SAFD: Our home has a few photos of us at Disney and a few small touches like salt and pepper shakers, but the biggest display is on top of my younger daughter's chest of drawers.



We also will have A LOT of Disney ornaments on our Christmas tree.

 

[DianaMB333]

SAFD - Love this topic… I have many “hidden” ears around the house… and a couple of places full of Disney LOL
here it is a photo of the kitchen and my office room

 

[Herding_Cats]

SAFD: we have a bunch of coffee mugs from trips (so many at this point that we have quit buying new ones), a collection of Disney-themed board games (monopoly, jungle cruise, Yahtzee) and then there’s our mud room….

TAFDD? Tuesdays are for Disney dining? (Apologies if I'm stealing a future-week's question; I'm looking for some inspiration.)

ADR day is going to arrive this week for many of us. Where are you making reservations? Trying somewhere new? Sticking with your favorite(s)?


TAFDD: I HAD a plan, and then that darn Target circle ticket deal got me and I cut waaay back on the table service plans to compensate. Right now we are planning to stick with our favorites (Sanaa, Morimoto, and brunch on Saturday at Homecomin') and then doing a lot of quick service in the parks and DS, but I am very curious to see what others have planned since I wouldn't mind trying something new to us.

 

[camaker]

TAFDD: I almost always stick to counter service on my solo MW trips. That way I can go with whatever I have a taste for on a given day in whatever park I end up in rather than having to predict what I'll be in the mood for 2 months in advance. That being said, I'll probably make a reservation for Via Napoli the Tuesday I arrive. I love their quattro formagi pizza! That's most likely the only one, though.

 

[jrsharp21]

TAFDD: I got up this morning to book reservations. For our first day at Epcot (January 2nd), I was able to get us San Angel Inn for lunch and then got a Space 220 reservation for dinner. Tried to get us a lunch reservation at Beaches and Cream on New Years Day but no go. We are a party of 6. If I search for a party of 4 or 2, I can book a lunch reservation. But not 6. I tried to split the party and make two different reservations, but it makes me give up the previous reservation.

Tomorrow I will be trying for Prime Time 50's Cafe since that day is not showing open yet for us.

 

[Bree]

I have no plans for reservations. We tend to figure it out when we are hungry. We are staying in our camper at Ft Wilderness for Dopey. We will probably just bring stuff to eat a few dinners there. We tend to just sit at bar or lounges anyway when we do go out and those don’t take reservations.

 

[pluto377]

TAFDD: I usually stick to mostly QS, but I like to do Beaches and Cream on Friday either before or after the HH meet. I might try something new at DS on Thursday night this year. I need to get going on figuring it out I guess. My ADR day is Sunday.

 

[DisneyParrothead]

TAFDD: for Princess, we are trying for SciFi and Tutto Italia. The Dolphin has a newish Mexican place we're also interested in. If we can't get that, I'll suggest Disney Springs since they have good options.

 

[accm]

TAFDD: Right now we have ADRs at Sanaa, Boathouse, Hoop-Dee-Doo, Steakhouse 71 for both dinner and brunch, Topolino's brunch, and Artist Point. We might change things up later though.

 

[azrivest]

TAFDD:
Citricos for NYE with the family. Might end up regretting that, since DS11 and DS8 are not great table-service kids.
Splitsville for Wednesday after Expo
Garden Grill breakfast for Thursday 5k with DS
I still want to book Cape May Café for brunch on Saturday and Toledo for Sunday Dopey celebration

 

[Baloo in MI]

TAFDD:
Our ADR day is on Friday, but we are hoping to get Beaches & Cream, Crystal Palace & Tusker House both breakfasts and Sci Fi Theatre. We will try to get them lined up with our park days as best we can. But our big priority is Boma for dinner after the marathon.

 

[Barca33Runner]

We aren’t staying on site and aren’t planning any park days as of right now. We might look for something on Sunday night at a resort or Disney Springs in anticipation of a celebration meal but, otherwise, we’ll likely eat mostly at whatever we can get short notice if we end up eating in the Disney bubble.
