That's cool. But it's also the beauty of the way they currently have it. I'm not required to use the MB. Personally my print out from 9/8/17-9/18/17 (was printed out on 9/8/17 though when we added 1 extra day to make up for Irma) was already 3 pages long.

I like to keep all my receipts (well I'd say I ended up keeping 99% of the receipts from this past trip, some slipped through) from my purchases so it would just end up being too much bulk to have both receipts and a print out of my hotel charges which isn't even as detailed as actual receipts. And knowing the item is completely already paid for it my preference vs having to walk down to the desk every day. After walking 9-17miles in a day the last thing I want to do is have to go down to the desk to settle up or guesstimate when they'll charge it. I just prefer the more detailed information and ability to track it the way I like to. I'm going to be bringing my ID and debit card and/or credit card with me anyways so it's not like I'm saving space in my park bag by using MB. It's totally what works for each person.

We are somewhat similar, but I am oppo as far as receipts go. I keep my receipts daily, but when I pay at the end of the day, I then can throw away all the individual receipts as I have a big one with all them on it now.

As far as walking? We take buses most of the time anyway so we are usually dropped off right by the lobby anyway. My wife usually heads to the room and I have a drink and pay the bill. Sometimes, if i want to walk with my DW then I will just pay in the morning. I am always up before anyone else and raring to go.

I've kept my receipts in large part to my trip report but also because it's informative for what I did this past trip for what I may do next trip-the receipts have far more information on them than a printout at the front desk. I'm sure my husband wouldn't have minded walking the minimal distance to the lobby but it's sorta just the point of having to do that after a long 12-14hr day in the parks. Easy enough to just pay with whatever we want to pay with and be done with it. If you look at it this way paying with MB and then settling it up each day or every other day is the same as paying right then and there with whatever method of payment you wanted to use--the only difference is when you are doing it: paying with MB means settling it up later whereas not paying with MB means settling it up right then and there. All up to personal preference of course :)

From the artwork, I wonder if this is DL's answer to AK's Harambe Market: a few food counter services, a couple of shops and seating area for eating and relaxing.

I think if it would just be a restaurant, especially a table-service, that would have been mentioned in the article. Whatever it actually is, it looks pretty cool and I like the idea of tiki birds being on display, similar to as one previous poster mentioned, is what Walt originally had in mind for the Tiki Room dining.

I love the Tiki birds:)

Oops. Sorry, I did read back a few posts, but must have missed it. Sorry for the repeat info.

Can't wait for Wreck It Ralph 2 this Thanksgiving but I'm afraid it may get crushed by Universal/Illumination's Grinch That Stole Christmas.

I’m not so sure...it depends on how well they do the movie. AND it’s already been remade once before. It will be interesting to see what Illuminations “fresh take” will be. I am highly skeptical when a film is remaking and/or modernizing children’s stories. (I’m looking at you Peter Rabbit.)

Which, now that I think about it, is very silly of me since I love all of Disney’s fairytale animated films...modern adaptations of long-standing children’s stories. :rolleyes1

Except they aren't. They are taking away a location that people keep flowing into and out of pretty quickly to a sit-down dinner place that will now have people sitting and lingering probably an hour or more.

They’re converting a QS place to a TS place, now that they’re converting BOG to a fancier TS place for one meal a day. I get that.

For people like us who prefer a sit down meal for dinner, this adds an option. Feels like there are still plenty of QS options in MK — are there?

We gave up PVH after trying it once — didn’t like it at all. Is it really a loss not having is as QS?

And isn't PVH stating QS for breakfast/lunch?
 
I have low confidence the food will be good, but I think it’s a great idea to have a cheaper (food quality and price) dinner buffet option for families. I could see us eating there if we originally planned QS for dinner, but we’re hungnrier or wanted a longer break.

Yeah, exactly. It's already so crazy crowded packed (especially on the weekends) that it's frustrating to even walk around if you aren't there right when the park opens.

The thought of what it will be like when Star Wars Land opens just raises my blood pressure to panic attack level just thinking about it ...
