When are you going??? Where are you staying??? We love to hear your Disney details!
We just did Tusker House at lunch and they did not do that parade; bummer. Don't know if they changed things or if it is intermittent. It was crazy that day; we had to wait 35 minutes WITH an ADR. We have never had to wait that long ever, for any ADR.
Cheers all...and Pluto, share if you wish....
...apply to the Disney Mom's Panel. (This does not turn out the way I hoped, but it did end on a positive note...)
It was the last day to apply and I had almost missed it because we were leaving for Disney the next day. I read the questions and they seemed so fun to answer so I did and I never expected to hear anything back. I was shocked when I made it to the next round. Disney made it very clear that they would be unable to send notices to those who did not make it to the final round, so yesterday when I looked at my email and the very first one said Disney Mom's Panel, the adrenaline started to rush. Let's just say, Disney has a magical way of delivering bad news. They just wanted to let me know that as a first time applicant how close I was and that this years applicants were the best they ever had and that most apply more than once before being chosen and that they did want this to discourage me from applying again.
They gave me some really nice compliments and that made the whole experience worth while and magical since I never even thought of applying before and then not expecting anything. Luckily I get to talk Disney with all of you everyday! I sure would have enjoyed that FREE Disney trip though...
Thank you all for all the fun we have here!!!!
That's gotta be so encouraging for next year. 
Awww thanks!!!Well good for you for applying and congrats on making it to the first round!
Thank you and it's because of folks like yourself that I stuck around.

You can't go wrong with any character experience, that is my number one dining choice (Kids or no kids.)! Hope you have a magical vacation, sounds like it is starting off to be one.
thanks so much!!!! 
we are planning on going sometime in May. I found a family I had met as a cast member (their daughter changed my internship for the better), and they are going in late May. I'm trying to be able to meet up with them. I'm trying to stay at all star movies, because my son absolutely loves anything life size and toy story!! If I get free dining, we'll be going to a moderate. 
Awww thanks!!!

it sure is nice to be able to come here and connect with the group here, I feel like I have been a part of it since last March/April. It's especially nice as I know we won't be going back for years and my family doesn't get how depressing that is. I miss the planning and anticipation.

Oh yes! I know about this place! My dream home! How about we all pitch in and get us some!...lol.
My number one place to eat with a two year old, is Garden Grill in Epcot. They only seat for dinner so make ADR's at 180 day mark. This place is great for first character visits as most at this age are reluctant of them getting too close. The seating is horseshoe shaped booths so a child can be a comfortable distance from characters and snuggled in between mom and dad. The seating is also situated so you don't see other diners and tends to be less noisy and chaotic. The restaurant also slowly rotates so you can see the different scenery of Living With the Land ride.
