Hello, do you know how I add my dining reservations into the touring plan? I've added the times of them but they show up in the after 9pm section and not during the day so I can't plan rides around them. Thanks!

But your issue doesn't sound like it's not saving. Just that it's not showing up correctly. You might need staff help for that. To reach customer service tap Hime/Dashboard below and scroll down to Contact Us.

2:41pm by evamarie320

Or maybe someone else here has had this problem and can chime in.

2:42pm by evamarie320

That's wonderful thanks for all the tips. I'll try on the web version!

Keep the puns (and any tips) a-coming. It will have to be the afternoon. A friend is visiting me and specifically wants to see animal/nature attractions. Going to AK obviously, but needed something for arrival afternoon. So this might be jt!

It might be a complete croc, but I would have nightmares that night.

I'm wondering about experiences with joining the walk up list for early dinner at resort restaurants. Our plans changed and now I'm surprised at how quickly Whispering Canyon reservations filled up for a party of 2. If we join the list right at opening?

11:51am by cigar95

...view 6 more comments

My solution- reserve for three, and then was able to modify in the app to two, for my existing time that wasn't previously available when trying to reserve for two. I learned a new trick.

2:56pm by cigar95

But for future reference, is the walk up list typically a feasible option at opening when reservations aren't available? (I would guess it's a better option in resorts than in the parks.)

2:59pm by cigar95

At WCC, I think it would be easy to grab a walkup unless it's a very busy season.

Woohoo! Finally on the autotrain on the way for some beignets and cake. Quick question on the free waterpark day do they allow you to hit both waterparks and park hop?

10:03pm on 7/23/25 by Totsypooh

collapse thread

Excellent! I'm flying down mid-day from WAS but you'll arrive first. I believe you can park hop the water parks!

10:08pm on 7/23/25 by Ali Ababwa

Yes reports are you can hop

10:30pm on 7/23/25 by LaurenInWonderland

Is waterpark only for check in day?

6:45am on 7/24/25 by Magicalday2011

Woo hoo! Time for another summer @Totsy adventure :)

7:20am on 7/24/25 by cdlla

Woo! And yes only on check in day. But we have like... 5 check in days. Lol :) looking forward to blizzard beach! Hasnt been open in the last 3-4 trips!

7:23am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

Were looking forward to a very chill trip this time. Just me and the kids without guests. Love how that stretches the DVC points so much. Some great cash rates this summer too. Will be working from there and letting the kids sleep in. We have a combo of

7:27am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

The 14 day and a couple convention tickets for the kids. Still mulling whether to upgrade to sorcerer but i dont think they are comig back before next summer. Le sigh. Middle and high school is cramping my disney style. I also am trying to get healthier

7:29am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

For wine and dine and ski season so will be on the lookout for healthier menu choices and will try to make time to work out a bit. Long walks in the parks are in the plan too. But for today, i will focus on having just ONE beignet. Lord help me. Lol. :)

7:30am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

Shoutout to @holly for getting me my Mickey sneakers! Awesome addition to the summer wardrobe and so fun! So excited to wear them to the parks! (No, i have not been running in them to save them from wear :D)

7:33am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

@totsy, will you be running the wine and dine? I'll be there and I think @jenny too.

7:43am on 7/24/25 by popupcamper

I'll be there that weekend! Not running but I am excellent wishing people good luck!

7:51am on 7/24/25 by Jennyhirsch

Yup! The 5 and 10! Lets meet up!

8:11am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

Fantastic, I just posted a brunch. I'm doing the 10 too!

8:13am on 7/24/25 by popupcamper

@Totsy, tell your air fryer we said hi.

10:11am on 7/24/25 by trishr.

These beignets are TRANSCENDENT. Better than i remember. Also the airfryer us snug as a bug in the owners locker. But i found that for some reason the autotrain guys messed with the freezer battery and left it uncharged all night. Boo. Good thing its well

11:39am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

Insulated and everything is still cold

11:39am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

Diet? What diet?

11:42am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

There is no diet when beignets are involved.

11:52am on 7/24/25 by utang44

Disney calories dont count.

11:53am on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

You can balance those carbs with a nice steak

11:59am on 7/24/25 by Ali Ababwa

Yeah i had salmon with a big serving of brocolli and green beans

1:13pm on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

Wow! Looks like our room was upgraded to preferred at sports! That means both my sports stays this year got upgraded! (The other one to riverside) need to find a lottery ticket.

1:15pm on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

Nice!

1:26pm on 7/24/25 by Beautiesandtheb

Yay! Another liner upgrade well deserved. Have fun, Totsy!!

Waving back up! Staying over in the Home Run section.

Waving from just behind Mowgli and Baloo at that other place

8:19pm on 7/24/25 by Ali Ababwa

Ooof. Contemporary bit allowing parking for TOTWL until the 27th. So we had to loop to magic kingdom parking and take the monorail over which took 45/50 mins. Good thing we had arrived early. God i love this view. Now for cake.

10:21pm on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

(Not allowing)

10:22pm on 7/24/25 by Totsypooh

Wow, did they let you know that in advance? Thats terrible...glad you made it there hopefully in time still?

12:26am on 7/25/25 by cpat

That sounds like the tightened parking restrictions for night parade we've been hearing about. Nothing announced in advance.

8:15am on 7/25/25 by evamarie320

I am staying at BLT tonight and on 7/17 I received an email stating To help make sure you and all resort guests staying with us have enough parking and amenities, we'll only be allowing guests listed on a resort room, dining or recreation reservation

8:31am on 7/25/25 by supercalifragilistic

to park at the resort. Those with dining or recreation reservations will only be permitted to arrive two hours before their reservation time. All others, including those visiting registered resort guests, will be asked to park offsite at a different

8:32am on 7/25/25 by supercalifragilistic

Location

8:32am on 7/25/25 by supercalifragilistic

Im not staying at BLT so didnt really have a way to find out. But he did mention its only till the 27th. We arrrived BLT an hour before the show so we got to the deck about 10 mins before showtime. Bit of a shlep but worth the feels and the chocolate :)

8:49am on 7/25/25 by Totsypooh

Today at AK taps every single line was bogged down with folks shuffling cards and having ouone issues. Tiffins. good GOD its fantastic here. Will surely take advatage of the DVC 40pct in a few weeks.

3:42pm on 7/25/25 by Totsypooh

3:42pm on 7/25/25 by Totsypooh

Does anyone know where i can find the POG slushy in AK? Is it any joffreys?

3:53pm on 7/25/25 by Totsypooh

I'm finding lots of mango slushies on this app but no pog.

4:11pm on 7/25/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Looks like it used to be at Harambe, but I don't see it on that menu any longer.

4:21pm on 7/25/25 by utang44

Boo. Will keep looking

4:52pm on 7/25/25 by Totsypooh

Nope. Slushy POG fail. But we did get bread service twice today so thats a win!

11:08pm on 7/25/25 by Totsypooh

Nice!

11:59pm on 7/25/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Is bread in AK? Or Sanaa

7:07am on 7/26/25 by Magicalday2011

At Sanaa @Magical.

7:50am on 7/26/25 by TacMed

Tiffins bread service? Going there today!

7:51am on 7/26/25 by Ali Ababwa

Just catching up. Have fun @totsy!

8:22am on 7/26/25 by kfkennedy1

BOTH! In ONE day! :) fabulous. Also someone mentioned publix having a glazed croissant a while back and i filed it in the never ending Disney to do list. Got one yesterday! Tasty!

11:15am on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

Tiffins in AK and Sanaa to go in AKL. They are both very different!

11:16am on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

I also had the oaxaca pork two ways. DELICIOUS. My kids had the butter chicken. Also rave reviews. We also had the mexican corn tres leches which was also interesting bec i love corn ice cream. And elote.

11:17am on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

-13 and +119 still work like a charm. BG1 is better than ever. Grabbed remy right as we took of on Soarin. Love the new features since i last used it. B1 still the best seat in the house!

2:04pm on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

Never tried at Tiffin's! On the list.

3:23pm on 7/26/25 by Magicalday2011

Go try it! Paramesan cheese bread, papadams and a soft coconut curry roll. Then 3 nice sauces. A creamy curry, a chunky chutney and i think some kind of sweetish tamarind or tomato based sauce

3:31pm on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

Tiffins gave me a whole new set of sauces to go to pair with my sanaa sauce haul. 12 sauces!!!! Airfryer put into fantastic use toasting up the naans. Soooo goood. And comfy in bed listenung to the "blue channel" too.

3:32pm on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

Now enjoying drinks ans snacks at new epcot lounge. Love the beyond benefits and how it extends access to 8pm! With characters milling around/ interacting too! Remy and TT LLs to go for later. Closing the night at Toppos.

3:35pm on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

Spice road table. What an oasis! What a gem. So so tasty.

4:34pm on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

@Totsy agree that Tiffins is amazing. I have it booked 2 times for my next visit and the 40% off will be amazing!! Question...which new epcot lounge...do you mean Geo?

5:13pm on 7/26/25 by Justone

You are welcome for those glazed croissants!

5:58pm on 7/26/25 by Jennyhirsch

No the DVC lounge

6:45pm on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

I have tiffins booked again when the DVC discounts kicks in too!

6:48pm on 7/26/25 by Totsypooh

@Totsy - thanks for letting us come along. Onto the air fryer. ...DW mentioned wanting one and you are our resident expert on the topic! Any suggestions (mfr or functions you really like)?

9:24am on 7/27/25 by hlbyers

@hl too funny, my DD mentioned she wants one now. I was also thinking I need @Totsy advice. Lol

9:45am on 7/27/25 by WendyMarie

Haha! I have a basic 5.8 qt Cosori from amazon . I dont use the presets too much - i already know how hot and for how long i want things. My 4 year old one died recently and i just bought the same one again. I travel with a mini 3 qt one

10:11am on 7/27/25 by Totsypooh

My best tip is that dawn powerwash works great to degrease and wash out the basket. Maybe bec the foam clings to the surface for a bit.

10:13am on 7/27/25 by Totsypooh

@Totsy my mom loves the dawn power wash so much that it reminds me of the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding with the fantastic. If you have a problem the DPW will make it all better!

10:51am on 7/27/25 by Justone

Omg me too. Hahahaha! :) its magical stuff

11:51am on 7/27/25 by Totsypooh

GOD. The rolls@Boathouse. Its a glazed donut posing innocently as a little hawaiian roll. My kids are INHALING them so fast they are disaappearing before my eyes. Anyone who says Disney has bad food is just uninformed. We havent had a bad meal yet.

11:56am on 7/27/25 by Totsypooh

They have a dueling piano brunch here. Not quite as entertaining as jellyrolls but its locely and they do sprinkle in some Disney here and there.

11:59am on 7/27/25 by Totsypooh

Soooo coooolll! We just watched a launch from cape canaveral! The whole sky lit up! Amazing! Also yesterday we found a tiny baby turtle on the beach. MAGICAL.

12:02am on 7/30/25 by Totsypooh

@totsy, yes the night launches are way cool. There will be another one at 12:09 tomorrow afternoon. It won't be as impressive since it won't be dark. But it's still pretty neat.

10:23pm on 7/30/25 by mweeebird

Yup! Debating where to watch that one from! The kids at space camp are getting a special viewing area which is great! And then an airshow flyover on Friday!

10:56pm on 7/30/25 by Totsypooh

Do you know if i wanted to watch from the jetty park how early i need to go to secure parking? Like a couple hours before maybe? Is that overkill?

10:57pm on 7/30/25 by Totsypooh

@totsy glad your liking your sneakers! Jellyroll is closed? But Lots to do. Love TL waterpatk. Not missing the heat and humidity. TL my favorite Disney water park!

11:00pm on 7/30/25 by moanagirl

Dixie Crossroads was our go to restaurant for capping off our time there. FYI.

8:59am on 7/31/25 by Jennyhirsch

Hey guys who has the tree again? Lets coordinate pls! We will be in boulder ridge from Friday to Monday so if you drop off at bell Services in can grab from there.

11:12am on 7/31/25 by Totsypooh

@totsy, I believe @jennyhirsch has the tree. TinyURL.com/wdw-bus-times (select the tree tab)

11:27am on 7/31/25 by 56arlene

It's me, @Totsy, but I just landed at MCO and am on the Disney Wish for next 3 nights. Where are you next week? Haven't decided if I will fly out Tuesday or Wednesday yet. Delivering the tree may be determining factor. :)

12:49pm on 7/31/25 by Jennyhirsch

DS or DD can deliver tree for me on Thursday, Friday, Sat, Sun next week too, if that's better for you. I'll ask their availability.

12:52pm on 7/31/25 by Jennyhirsch

I think ill be in AKL from wed-sat if that works?

11:06am on 8/1/25 by Totsypooh

By the way I see the wish at PORT!! Have a lovely trip!

11:07am on 8/1/25 by Totsypooh

We are waiting to board! Bursting with excitement to see the launch (hopefully) from the top deck!!!!

11:14am on 8/1/25 by Jennyhirsch

I am going to do my best to get that tree to Bell Services at AKL on Tuesday!!! Will keep you posted!

11:15am on 8/1/25 by Jennyhirsch

Ok! Have fuuunnn!! No worries if you cant just let me know! Dont want to inconvenience you!

9:18am on 8/2/25 by Totsypooh

Holy waterpark Batman! BB is busy today! I thought it waould be quiet till at least midday.

2:52pm on 8/2/25 by Totsypooh

Tonys was great for us today. A good meal outside of the sun and prime parade viewing. Also DVC MMB so worth it on this hot day. It was a 2 hour wait with 30 ppl on the closed waitlist. We got in right away. And they are offering healthier snacks

4:30pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

Perusig menus as we move to the new tower tomorrow. Wailulu has pinapple coconut bread?!?!? Someone tell me its the same as ohana!!?

6:27pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

@Totsy- do you ride coach on autotrain or get roomette? Considering it for our way back

7:02pm on 8/3/25 by BoltsBark

Coach. I wait for the $75 seat sale. And often kids 12 and under ride free. Roomette makes it more expensive than flying. Business class seats with legroom. Ideal if you have multiple of 2. This last time i had to sit solo and the gentleman beside me was

7:04pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

Quite large and spilled into 25pct of my seat and backrest. No armrests to create boundaries. He tried to stay on his side when awake but once he fell asleep it was awkward for me.

7:05pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

By the way my Mickey sneakers are so popular.l today. I keep getting stopped by random people asking about them. Ha! :)

7:10pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

Disney starlight. Hmm. Visually stunning but lacking in the audio. Needs a catchy soundtrack with lyrics.

9:32pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

One perk of the 9pm parade. Everyone pushes towards the parade path in front of the castle so a huge open area in front of the castle that only fills after the parade ends. Very easy front row seat to HEA. Easy enough to watch the parade from back here

9:36pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

Thanks for the info @Totsy. I will plan on doing that my next trip. I agree about the musicWas underwhelmed. Hope you have a great trip! Hope the cooler weather we have been having here in Arkansas makes its way to FL!High only 88 today and low humidit

9:49pm on 8/3/25 by h2olly

Gosh its so hot the floor just radiates heat all around us! Yes try it! They will say parade viewing is closed but we told the folks in the front row we were going all the way to the back (to the rope in front of the castle) and they let us through.

9:51pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

Looks like next week will be a little cooler with some rain so fingers crossed!

9:55pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

Mk early entry hot take. Forget the rides! Head to the carousel area. SO MANY characters jist wandering and interacting!!! Mickey mouse was riding the carousel!!! Gotta say all these "cool kid summer" extras are adding a very nice number of delightful

10:45pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

Random moments that feel really magical and materially adds to the experience.

10:46pm on 8/3/25 by Totsypooh

Mickey on the carousel is fantastic!

11:20pm on 8/3/25 by hodg

Yes he sat beside a two year old boy whose mom and dad were positively beaming and taking so many videos Im sure. It must have been surreal for them. JUST LIKE THE ADS. Imagine sending that video to family and friends :)

2:12pm by Totsypooh

Island tower. Hmm. Facade and Main driveway is uninspired and underwhelming but interiors are nice. Walulu bar. My hopes were high but everything we tried was not great. I had to take my kids to captain cooks for pizza after bec they were still hungry.

2:26pm by Totsypooh

(Wailulu) New pool also just another quiet pool.

2:27pm by Totsypooh

The kids are voting for tambu lounge for dinner. OG poly still awesome. Looking forward to seeing the fireworks from the deck later though! Hopefully another fun vantage point!

3:10pm by Totsypooh

@Totsy, glad you are enjoying them! Can't tell you the number of people who stop and ask me where I got mine.

Finally in the room and love the studio setup in the island tower. Very spacious! Inwould have preferred a twin a pull down to accomodate a 5th person though. Vs dressers and a desk. The dining table is a nice add though.

4:20pm by Totsypooh

Tootsy, I am so jealous. I went in Island Tower last April. It is SO NICE! I didn't get to see any rooms or the lounges, but I was so impressed with the lobby.

Hoping to get the tower next trip!

What do y'all think about BLT? Have the chance to rent points there but really hoped for GF.

6:54pm on 8/3/25 by h2olly

collapse thread

I actually haven't stayed BLT but the rooms look amazing after the refurb. My home is GFV but I'd stay BLT in a heartbeat.

7:43pm on 8/3/25 by popupcamper

I've stayed contemporary garden wing three times and you can't beat walking to the MK.

7:43pm on 8/3/25 by popupcamper

There's no theming at all. It's like a Hilton. We were not impressed with BLT itself. We Don't care to go back. Proximity to MK and S71 was nice, tho.

8:00pm on 8/3/25 by cdlla

I love BLT, but we've only stayed in 1 and 2br villas, never a studio. Pluses for us are the extra full bathroom and the location!

8:03pm on 8/3/25 by KLuck

@cdlla, have you been since the refurb? It looks super themed to me.

8:07pm on 8/3/25 by popupcamper

No, I meant the lobby and everything when you first walked in and walking around in general. It was "just a hotel." DD's weren't impressed. There was nothing that said "I'm at Disney". But it would beat not going at all :)

8:11pm on 8/3/25 by cdlla

The lobby theming is definitely pretty bland but the new rooms are really beautiful. The Mary Blair inspired artwork is great Here's a reel I posted on insta https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLxLuXfsbV8/?igsh=MW1uZjE0emZsd3pxOQ==

8:25pm on 8/3/25 by georgejr1966

DO IT. It is our home resort, and my family refuses to go anywhere else if BLT is available. Walk to Magic Kingdom, monorail to Epcot, monorail to grand Floridian and Polynesian during rain storms.

8:30pm on 8/3/25 by goofygardiner

Most importantly, leave magic Kingdom late at night and thousands of people, turn left and walk home, instead of waiting in massive lines to go anywhere else.

8:30pm on 8/3/25 by goofygardiner

I can definitely see that. I'm looking forward to staying at BLT someday though. I really love the new rooms.

8:31pm on 8/3/25 by popupcamper

My idea is to stay at each resort at least once, so you can vote for your favs and go back again. So if you've never stayed at BLT, give it a go. Our fam is split- love location for MK access, great dining. But don't like the generic theming & pools.

8:35pm on 8/3/25 by rapunzelRN

Thanks for all your replies everyone! Am leaning towards staying there after reading all of this. Y'all are right. Nothing beats being able to walk to and from MK. Think I will do a split stay. Too $$$ for me to stay more than 3 nights and will move to

8:48pm on 8/3/25 by h2olly

Move to CBR second half of week m

8:48pm on 8/3/25 by h2olly

Cdlla, seems like a lot of the refurbs are kinda' like generic hotel rooms. I agree with @popup though. I looked at pics of some of the refurbished rooms and really like them.

8:50pm on 8/3/25 by h2olly

Rapunzel, I want to stay at each resort once too! I am about there. All that's left are the monorail resorts and Yacht club.

8:51pm on 8/3/25 by h2olly

@Georgejr96. Thanks for the reel! I love those rooms. Love the space mountain and electric light parade artwork.

8:53pm on 8/3/25 by h2olly

We've stayed twice. First time was a 1br and it was awesome. 2nd time was a studio before refurb. Great location but very tight and worn out. However, the refurb looks great to me and I'd definitely stay again.

9:04pm on 8/3/25 by aliceinwonderla

Not a fan of Lettuce or Tomatoes. Bacon is better than sex.

10:00pm on 8/3/25 by JackOfAll

Glad the reel was helpful h2olly

10:06pm on 8/3/25 by georgejr1966

I second goofy's comments. Wall to MK, the monorail, etc. plus we have good luck with the contempo cafe having vegetarian selections for food. I like the theming of the lobby. I think it's nicer than a generic hotel. Subtle, for sure.

10:15pm on 8/3/25 by deejason

Here is a link to a forum thread I started last year. I think I was one of the first liners to get into a refurbished 1 bedroom, and I tried to take pictures of everything anyone wanted to see. https://forum.touringplans.com/t/blt-refurb-pictures/102781

10:48pm on 8/3/25 by goofygardiner

We did old studio last year. Booked a 1 bed for next May- hoping the pool refurb is done before we leave. Loved the location & can't afford CR tower.

11:17pm on 8/3/25 by hodg

BLT is great for 1BR+. A studio wouldn't be my top choice though.

11:29pm on 8/3/25 by BlastThatPeterPan

The refurb is nice! The lobby is still very boring no theming. But I love the proximity to MK and watching fireworks from my hotel . Steakhouse 71 either dine in or to go. And good quick service and shopping.

8:14am by VikeQueen

Agree with all @vikequeen said. Fave resort at the moment because it's a means to an end with walking proximity to MK, monorail to EP and decent food options, particularly mobile order at SH71. Checks a lot of boxes but theme is not one of them.

10:00am by 56arlene

Love the reel @george. Took me forever to find a YouTube that confirmed a Murphy bed in the 1 bed & there it is! Did not want to be on sofa bed, but easier to share w in laws than 2 studios. 2 bed beyond budget.

10:56am by hodg

I don't like the layout of the studio with the small bathroom, but location is amazing, I like the pool & good food choices.

10:56am by Kimluvsdisney

I wouldn't be able to share the studio bathroom with another woman. I barley survive with DH! lol:) we still love it though!

10:57am by Kimluvsdisney

In July, we rented 2 nts at BLT (studio) before 8 nts at BPK (resort studio). Kids are 19 and 16, BPK is way more space and we love theming. BLT was way too small for 4 adults and for us, kitchenette wasn't needed. But, can't beat the location for both*

*MK and EP. Refurb was nice, but not our style.

Yay! I hope you love BLT! I think it is pretty polarizing. Either people love it or hate it. (I love it!)

@aandjd, I think I will love it. You can't beat being able to walk to MK in just 5 min or so!

Liners Cookbook announcement! I have started a thread on La Cava kicking off the cookbook that eva, popup, and I have been working on. https://forum.touringplans.com/t/announcing-the-liners-cookbook/104640

9:46am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

collapse thread

You will need to be logged in, or search La Cava for Liners Cookbook. I am posting the same info here as well for those who only use Chat. Apologize in advance for the long post!

9:47am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

At long last, @popupcamper, @eva, and I (TumbleMonkeys) announce the Liner cookbook! le ago, we got the idea to create a cookbook in honor of daily "What's Cookin'?" thread as an opportunity to favorite recipes and raise money for Give Kids The World.

9:50am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

The three of us have researched both this charity and various methods for compiling a cookbook, and this is the result of that analysis and several planning meetings. First, we'll be asking for recipe submissions GKTW donations. All steps are

9:51am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

independent, so you don't have to donate or submit a recipe to order a cookbook, and vice versa. See details below: 1) Submit Recipes - Now! Option One requires you to login to our cookbook page on Heritage Cookbook

9:52am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

at Create Your Cookbook | Custom Recipe Books Online | Heritage Cookbook. Send an email to linerscookbook@gmail.com and we will send you an invite to contribute.

9:53am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

(No need to click link above - you will receive instructions after emailing!)

9:54am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Option Two is a Google Form at Liners' Cookbook Recipe Form Submit as many recipes as you like! 2) Donate to GKWT - Now! Visit our fundraiser page and give a donation. https://give.gktw.org/linerscookbook

9:55am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Any amount is appreciated for this great organization that funds trips to Orlando for seriously ill children and their families. Liners have a long history of supporting GKTW. But if you donate at least $25, you will be entered into a drawing

9:55am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

a free cookbook. 3) Sponsor a Cookbook - Now! Contact Tumble (Robin) at rmfluh@gmail.com if you would be interested in serving as an "angel" donor. Donors will cover the cost of an additional cookbook ($40) for our raffle, to incentivize donations.

9:56am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Note: Being a donor will require communicating with me by email and sending payment via check, PayPal. 4) Order a Cookbook - Later TBD! Once we have a critical mass of recipes, we'll communicate deadlines for submitting recipes and donating,

9:57am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

announce our raffle cookbook winner(s), and let you know how to order the cookbook. Each cookbook order will be done directly with Heritage, so you won't need to share any personal information with Liners, and you can select

9:58am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

your preferred cookbook format (electronic, paper/binding types). They ship worldwide! Note: The cookbook will likely cost $30-$40 for a bound book or $9 for a download. Finally - Graphic Design Help requested

10:00am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

If you have skill in this area and are interested in volunteering to design a cover for our cookbook, please let us know! Please let us know if you have questions! Tumble (Robin), popup (Angela), and eva (Eva) END OF MESSAGE (lol)

10:00am on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

You gals are amazing! Have to admit I'm pretty intimidated by the daily cooking thread, but I'm big on making appetizers and desserts so I can contribute related recipes. Super idea!

10:13am on 5/28/25 by snowdiz

OK, @popup, how come I didn't know your actual name? No wonder we seem to be on the same brainwave a lot!

10:47am on 5/28/25 by utang44

Are you an Angela too?

10:52am on 5/28/25 by popupcamper

Yep!

Great idea! Thanks for all the work all of you have done / will do on this project. I too am intimidated by the "what's cooking" thread, but look forward to getting the recipes for some of those great sounding menu items.

1:41pm on 5/28/25 by BestGiGiEver

Admittedly I haven't had time to read this all the way thru but real quick, before another meeting, can we scan the recipes in or do we type them out on the links/Google forms?

1:53pm on 5/28/25 by cdlla

@cdlla, you can scan them if you're willing to give us your email address. In fact we prefer that way otherwise we have to cut and paste it.

2:20pm on 5/28/25 by popupcamper

We have to invite you to input your recipe via email.

2:21pm on 5/28/25 by popupcamper

Donation made, email sent so I can be an Angel(which we know that I am not). :) send ing recipes soon. Thank you all for doing this, I know there will be some very grateful and happy kids with our help.

3:25pm on 5/28/25 by Opa-Wan Kenobi

@opa I got the GKTW donation (yay!) but not the email. Just double checked that it wasn't a typo on my part but I think my address is correct above. Rmfluh@gmail.com.

3:34pm on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Amazing - now I got it. Thanks @opa!

3:55pm on 5/28/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Before we get too knee deep in this, if you want to be an Angel but you want to remain anonymous, just let @tumble know that when you email her. She'll know but we will credit Anonymous when we list our Angel donors in the cookbook intro. And Thanks!

4:54pm on 5/28/25 by evamarie320

@cdlla, send an email to linerscookbook@gmail.com, we will invite you into the cookbook, and then you can either type or scan your recipe in.

Are you looking strictly for recipe ingredients, or are the ubiquitous online stories that accompany them welcome too? You know, that secret ingredient my grandmother used when she lived on an Indian Reservation in Oklahoma might need an explanation.

10:02pm on 5/28/25 by MOJoe

This is lovely - thank you! We will be in touch with Captain Eddie's Award-Winning White Chili!

10:10pm on 5/28/25 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

@mojoe, we definitely want the stories!!!! If you are willing to give us your email so you can enter it yourself you can input your story. I *think* if you use the Google form there's not currently a place for a story but I'm happy to add it if needed.

11:35pm on 5/28/25 by popupcamper

@MOJoe, Hopefully your story requires multiple pages to scroll thru before I can get to the dang recipe. ;)

I will say heritage's customer service has been top notch. They're a small company but I literally get responses from the owner within a few hours on their contact us.

1:11pm on 6/12/25 by popupcamper

Can't help w iPhone but a gentle reminder that if you click on the link in the original post by @tumble you'll be taken to a Forum page that explains the whole process of donating, contributing recipes, etc with clear instructions and links.

10:45am on 6/17/25 by Tinkerminnie

Alright y'all. I just entered all EIGHTEEN of the recipes entered through the google form into the cookbook and it was REALLY easy. So if any of you would rather just do the google form instead of entering it yourself into the cookbook feel free....

6:01pm on 6/19/25 by popupcamper

,....or it doesn't take me too long to type it myself so if you need to just send a picture or something to the LinersCookbook@gmail.com email address do that too. Just tell me if you want me to use your real name or keep it to just your liner name....

6:02pm on 6/19/25 by popupcamper

...And y'all, the little stories you are telling about the recipe are FABULOUS! I'm way more excited now than I was after reading these. Truly we are a liner family.

3:28pm on 6/25/25 by evamarie320

The liner cookbook committee decided on July 31 as the deadline to submit recipes. Mostly cause we haven't done them ourselves yet and we need a deadline to get it done. If you've sent in requests and haven't heard back yet I'll look tomorrow (or maybe...

9:00pm on 6/25/25 by popupcamper

...Friday.) I do it on my work computer and had a big project due at work Tuesday morning then DD got her wisdom teeth out yesterday afternoon.

9:01pm on 6/25/25 by popupcamper

Also another call if anyone good at graphic design wants to take a look at it. It's not much work we're asking for. The cookbook company has fonts, and covers and layouts. We aren't asking anyone to design anything. Just choose from the options for us.

I'm surprised that all of us uber planners are so last minute about submitting recipes! (Myself included).

We had new submissions from @MoJoe, @TinkerMinnie, @StLouie, @TumbleMonkeys, and @Eva. I'm caught up on submissions for now.
