Additional Meal Information Update
Ignore part of my other meal information update email.
An article says Hollywood and Vine will be resuming buffet meals.
Wait.
It says it will resume them on August 29.
Thank you for playing.

Man, all I had to do was THINK “Hey, maybe we could eat in the Coral Reef again,” given other closures and Anabelle’s aquarium phobia going away, and they replaced the amazing Seafood Bisque we had so many years ago with a standard New England Clam Chowder.

Disney sent us a detailed email suggesting all the stuff we can set up ahead of getting there. They continue to be so cute.

Anabelle’s obsession with getting a Ronto Wrap has reached dangerous levels. It has hit the point that Rosa keeps trying to figure out how to have one without the wrap so it is gluten free, and needs to be reminded she doesn’t like sausage.
Reported by Anabelle- The character meet in Circusland is returning, so are Chip and Dale in Dinosaur costumes in Animal Kingdom, and the Toy Story people in MGM. Mirabel (Encanto) is joining the Magic Kingdom character cavalcade.
[Later edit- My updates continued to be useless, none of this happened before we arrived except the last one.]
[Later edit- It did, but had no characters. However, the others were highlights of those days.]
(They’re in the headline not the article. Anabelle saw Alice is coming back to EPCOT (England) so maybe there, or near the Pooh ride in MK)
[Later edit- Pooh and Tigger came back to MK after we left. However we had very nice, distanced Pooh encounters.]

Disney filed a patent for “robotic” lockers that would roll stuff from one location to another.
Hey, what could go wrong?!?!?

I revealed to my immediate family the existence of the pulled pork filled jelly donut with slaw at the Eight Spoons Café in Animal Kingdom. Doing this late at night may have been an error as we were all simultaneously obsessed with its very existence and hysterical at the awfulness of the idea.
The 10% off using the Disney card is only in some dining locations. Most of which are in hotels. (Not the Snow White one)
There’s only a few in the parks and only one we're going to
Tiffins (expensive and boring)
The Hollywood Brown Derby (see restrictions) (expensive, probably to the point it would offset the 10%)
[Later edit- EPCOT not in all caps means I copied the list directly from a Disney website.]
Biergarten Restaurant (see restrictions) (The one we're going to)
Coral Reef Restaurant (I was tempted but menu is REALLY reduced and Garden Grill is way better for us)
Le Cellier Steakhouse (expensive, probably to the point it would offset the 10%)
Rose & Crown Dining Room (British food...not known for quality)
Magic Kingdom Park
Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen (Everyone looked at this menu and thought it was too weird)
Grandma’s answer: Well one is
better than none. It will probably use up all of my Disney rewards
Dollars. That is okay by me. OXZ

Grandma’s countdown email-Hello Disney Fanatics Family & Dave,
Dave
we know you are getting there with us. You are just a bit behind.
Here is my Happy Grandma Countdown. Today we
are ONE MONTH, ONE WEEK & ONE DAY away from
DISNEY. Isn’t that exciting? YES! OOOOOOOO XXXXXXXX ZZZZZZZZ
Dave’s answer- Ms. Theresa, you malign me,
milady!
I am, in no way, a little behind. I’m a giant behind!
And I am actually looking forward to the trip.
My answer- Excellent countdown, and excellent
answer.
Nothing else to add as you'll all be getting enough constant countdown emails from me soon enough
Additionally, Grandma looked up a far range
forecast for Orlando and also confirmed and printed the list of TV channels in
the rooms. No wonder I Grid. It’s genetic.

Allears shows 43 new menu updates. Wow, imagine how many they’ll do once I print the menu listing for everyone?
The full menus for the Food and Wine Festival
are available. I texted my wife and daughter about gluten free Yucca fries…and
Anabelle said “funny you should mention that.” Then she told me she already
copied the entire list with pretty fonts and asked me to print it for her
planning notebook. Grandma was suitably proud. (Grandma is also already pretty
far along in packing.) Those Disney Planning Genes are potent.

44 Menu updates today. I feel like they are taunting me as I scout the menus looking for…places to make stupid jokes mostly.

At the end of the night I learned the flight times are slightly changed…because the airline sent Anabelle an email… and only Anabelle.
How thoughtful.
