    Palo Buffet vs. Table Service

    If I had never done the buffet I would probably think brunch in its current form is great. But there were so many items on the buffet that are not available at sit down brunch. I loved a lot of the small desserts and don’t really like anything on the current dessert menu. I have not once been...

    Candy Apples

    I love the peanut caramel apples so much! They remind me of the caramel apples I would get as a kid. They travel well so I always get one to bring home. I don’t like the chocolate-covered ones quite as much but I do sometimes get the hunny pot caramel apple from Pooh Corner.

    Palo Brunch Chicken Parm?

    I personally did not think it was that amazing, but I would still try the brunch anyway (even speaking as someone who will miss the old buffet for the rest of my life lol). I love the smoked salmon Benedict more than anything else I’ve tried there.

    Kids Club Age Change

    This doesn’t affect my family at all but I’m kind of shocked they aren’t allowing people to cancel without penalty due to this change. I know the kids club is a huge factor for many families when deciding to book DCL. Yikes.

    Sunday crowds Nov/Dec

    I think a lot of schools are out starting the 18th. We were there Thanksgiving week when most schools were out and it was quite busy but we still had a great time.

    Why bother calling it "The Holidays"?

    I’m sorry you feel excluded. I am half Jewish and celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah. Frankly, I am pleasantly surprised when I see any inclusion of Hanukkah from any mainstream company. I thought there was a decent amount of Hanukkah merch when I was there a few weeks ago. However I can...

    Pixar Place rooms

    At the end of a long day the walk back to PPH feels shorter to me than walking back to the DH. I think being able to cut through the GCH helps break it up so it doesn’t feel so long. And in the morning, I have plenty of energy so I’ve never minded the slightly longer walk to security. So I think...

    Pixar Place rooms

    I don’t know how to link a YouTube video, but the Disney Parks channel just posted an in-depth look at one of the new rooms. If you search for Pixar Place Hotel and sort by upload date it should be one of the first videos.

    Pixar Place questions

    I don’t know if they have changed out the day beds with the renovation, but I slept in it summer of ‘22 and found it to be just fine. I’m a smidge over 5 feet. As for the PPH entrance to DCA, if you head across the street you will clearly see the gate for DCA on the right. If you follow the...

    ***November 2023 Check-in Thread***

    We rode this for the first time (non-swinging!) on our recent trip since there was no line and a bunch of other rides were down. It was one of the high wind days before thanksgiving and even the tiny bit of swinging we did at the top was almost too much for DD. I don’t get motion sickness but...

    We are back and almost recovered. :) Our trip was 11/19-11/23. We had a great time but it was very very busy (to be expected thanksgiving week). Lines weren’t bad with Genie+ but the walkways were just so crowded. I think I saw more large groups than ever just standing in the middle of a walkway...

    Blue Bayou early January - what's up?

    I used ***********.com for the first time last week and I got a reservation for Lamplight Lounge within 2 days. I did not think it would work since this was for thanksgiving week so I was pleasantly surprised. I used the free service which only uses email so I made sure to set up audible...

    ***November 2023 Check-in Thread***

    We are driving from NorCal on Sunday so I’ve been checking traffic a lot. It looks like it might add some time to the trip due to extra traffic in LA but the 5 is not closed.

    WOC in 2024

    I recently read online that WOC will be down for refurbishment from 1/8/24 to 2/29/24. This was from Scott Gustin on twitter. He specifically said it was ONE that would be down but I don’t know if it will be a different show when it comes back.

    The weather channel says “occasional rain showers” the 15-17th which is much different than a steady rain. Fingers crossed for everyone going next week! (And the week after, when I’m going lol)

    I wish they would bring it back! I don’t understand why WDW gets it but we don’t. :(

    Jungle cruise is not down for an overlay…Disneyland hasn’t done Jingle Cruise since before the pandemic.

    I have used one before (I seem to be prone to pre-vacation injuries) just not in the rain. I was terrified before I used one for the first time and it was totally fine! Just be very aware of your surroundings and go slow in crowds because people tend to not pay attention and will jump in front...

    I am anxiously checking the weather every day (we’re there in 2 weeks). I know it’s too far out to really know but seeing unsettled weather makes me nervous! Mostly because I’m going to have an ECV due to injuring my knee and I’ve never used one in the rain. :oops:

    Looking at the reservations calendar don’t see a single day unavailable for either park from now to April (as far as it goes). So you should be good.
