Disney Randoms

[ribollita]

I have a very very random question.

Easywdw readers, did Josh and Lisa break up? He hasn't mentioned her in months as far as I can remember.

Also, I hope standard rooms at the Poly open up for our dates/summer promo. Until then we've booked at BWI. May also switch to a CR garden wing if one opens up.

[lala]

I don't read easywdw but I'm trying to figure out if Pete & Walter (dis unplugged) divorced. It would seem so? I read a rumor somewhere that he was actually with Dustin? And whatever happened to Shaun?!

I really hope it's true that anyone staying on DVC points at the Grand Cali doesn't have to pay for parking. We aren't DVC members, just renting.

[anonymess]

I was wondering the same. I think he mentioned months ago that she was moving for grad school.

I've been wondering that about Pete & Walter too! He made a joke about going on a dating app not too long ago. I hadn't seen the Dustin rumor - that is juicy!

[Amy]

I'm pretty positive Pete is single now

ETA : I hadn't seen the Dustin rumor! I should've just said I'm pretty positive he's not with Walter

[lala]

Yea, I don't really see the Dustin thing at all, thought it was pretty random. I'm sad Dustin is gone, though.

While he doesn't have to tell anyone that he's single; it does leave lots of people wondering when all you hear is walter, walter, walter, we're getting married, woohoo, walter, walter for months.

Self parking is included with the room but if you want valet parking you will have to pay for it.  Just be aware that the self parking lot is across the street from the hotel.  

ETA- if you will be here Nov 11-13 that is the Avengers Half Marathon weekend.  Self parking for the Grand will have limited access so they advise anyone who needs to use their cars to self park at the Disneyland Hotel.

I just read on Disboards that they're doing away with parade and Wishes FP I was meh on the parades but liked the Wishes FP.

I know. After our last trip, my husband and my 14 yo said they would never watch wishes without a FP again. Well....

LOL. I am pretty sure I've said the same. I hate fireworks crowds.

[bexporter]

We have a Wishes FP+ for Easter Sunday. Glad we're going before they're done because I do not have the patience to wait an hour for a parade or fireworks.

Lol I didn't mean it was bad! I just was uncertain as to why. Is it sad? Beautiful? Like I said I don't think I've seen the Wishes show, just fireworks in the 90s and Hallowishes.

I have no idea. Memories and nostalgia maybe?

It's that little girls voice " Allll your wishes willl come truuuuuueee" 

WAHHHHHHHH 

I just teared up typing that. 

[ilikedonuts]

I cried during Wishes the first time we took DD1 when she was 11 months. She was our rainbow baby after two miscarriages and our last Disney trip had been a somewhat last minute trip planned after my first miscarriage and I had my 2nd miscarriage 3 weeks before our trip.

[lala]

Crying during Disney fireworks is totally normal!!

I cry during the opening show at MK - I judge myself for this lol

[lala]

I do, too! And every time we all see the castle for the first time.

[tinkerbell]

I just came across my KTTW card from my trip 10 years ago. Clearly I'm either too sentimental to part with it or a hoarder. I think it's probably a bit of both.

I have every KTTW, paper parking pass, pin, etc we've gotten in the past 9 years of going. I call it my Disney box. It entertains my kids now!

I'm probably a hoarder lol

I just listened to a WDW Tonight podcast & they had him on as a guest to talk about Flower & Garden. He made mention of her teasing him about how he mispronounces things, so maybe they are still together. I thought of this thread when I heard that. 

[spankswife]

I cry at the rope drop show lol #emo

[ribollita]

Regarding my OP it appears they are still together. Mystery solved.


Did everyone see the former Wishes FP area is now going to be an extension of the dessert party? Blah.

[Deleted]

So they released DW hours for November and one day (11/17) we were going to go to MK it says it closes at 4:30? I feel like that can't be right!

[jeaniebueller]

When we were at MK a few years ago, right after we walked into the park, we were standing around and one of those old timey firetrucks pulled up near us and the driver started cracking jokes at my BIL and ended up asking our group if we wanted to ride in the back of the truck up to the castle. We did and it was awesome and I got a little teary eyed over how perfect it was.

This was guaranteed to happen. Ugh

And why would someone book in advance and sit in the terrace over the gardens? That's just dumb

Disboards is saying it happened last year too. A private event or convention. Sucky.

Bummer! I guess I'll switch our days around because the other day we were going to MK is a Christmas party day so it closes early again.

I've heard some of the hours might be changed at a later date to longer hours but who knows.

Nm found it

No electrical parade or fire works? Is that normal or bc of the Christmas crap? (Sorry if his had been discussed I'm just starting to read)

For some reason those haven't been showing up immediately when they release the schedule, but they add them in later.  Other than the days closing early for the Christmas party, they should get them scheduled eventually.

Sorry for resurrecting an old-ish thread, but I just read about the 12-day British Isles cruise and I have a new dream vacation. How can I get approximately $20K for a vacation without robbing a bank?
