Interesting. I've heard of the secret menu too. As I write, I am only FOUR DAYS!!! away from my stay at All Star Music, so I am thinking I may wander over to Movies sometime and check out that menu. My family don't know about it, so perhaps they might think old Dad is cool...for once?
It has been a few days so I'm thinking you're now just ONE DAY!!! away from your stay at ASMu, which means I am incredibly jealous of you lol. Please try out that menu and report back! I'm curious to hear about other folks' experiences with it. Have a great trip!!!
Joining in. Great report so far! Entering the bubble then leaving (even for one night) would have been tough for me, too!
I love my fellow Disney folks. People in my regular life cannot fathom how spending one night in a non-Disney hotel could be difficult - they just don't get it!
Joining in!
I’m on my phone, so I can’t quote, but I love the expression “Let’s Winnie the Pooh this thing”. Now I just need to figure out how to use that in my everyday life...
Lol! I'd like to use it more often, but am worried I will end up arrested. Thanks for joining in!
The refurbished rooms at Coronado look really nice! I might need to look into that as an option on an upcoming trip...
They really were wonderful! I'm all about spreading the Coronado love now.
Congratulations on earning your PhD! That is a huge accomplishment. I’m four classes away from finishing my second Master’s. I’m so close, I can almost taste it.
Thank you! Congratulations on being almost done with your second Master's! My first almost killed me - I can't imagine working up the willpower to go back for more!
I had to chuckle at your comment about only staying inside the Disney bubble from here on out. We are the exact same way. We’ve actually never stayed off property and we have no plans to, ever. We need to be totally immersed in Disney.
Never again! #Bubble4Life
Wow, your Coronado room looks beautiful! I’ve never stayed there before. What did you think of the food in the food court? Is it as big and spread out as everyone says?
It was so gorgeous and extremely functional. We ate at the food court twice. Our favorite part of the food court was actually the CMs, who were so nice and remembered us from day to day. The food was decent, but not spectacular. However, I think they're in the process of changing up their menus with the refurb, so that could change. There was also a grab-and-go place just a little down from the food court with breakfast and dessert stuff that I looked around in, but never tried. I didn't find CSR to be too spread out, but we did end up in preferred, so access to the main areas was really easy. However, that meant we were a decent distance from the feature pool and that walk took a little time, though still didn't seem like too much. I walked the entire circle in one go a couple of times and was fine. And the bridges they're adding across the lake should make things even easier to get to regardless of where you are in the resort.
We ate at D-Luxe Burger in October and really liked it. Our other favorite QS to eat at in DS is Blaze Pizza.
That's one I thought about trying too! Maybe next time.
Hi
joining in. I remember reading another trip report of yours. If I'm remembering correctly you had so many costumes for your kids that were simply precious.
Congratulations on the PhD.
Hello and
Yes, that was us with the crazy costumes. This time we only pulled out a couple because it was just so hot and rainy, but there will be a bit of costume fun because we can't go to WDW and not.
Thank you!
I am enjoying your report!! Glad to hear the construction did not interfere with your stay at CSR since we will be staying there next month. Our first time staying onsite and it has been 20 years since we have been to WDW. We are taking our grandson for his 3rd birthday. So excited!!!!
How exciting! It had been 20 years since my last visit when we took our first family trip back in 2013 and I remember the anticipation was amazing. I'd love to hear about how you liked CSR when you get back. Happy birthday to your grandson and have a great trip!
Joining in. Love the matching manicures. My girls love getting their nails done as a special girls treat I may have to schedule that just before our trip.
Thanks for joining in! This was actually the first time my daughter had had a real manicure, but she is hooked now and I think it's going to have to be a new trip tradition. It was such a nice mother/daughter activity in advance of the trip.
