Outside COP and it seems to have just stopped working, with a big crowd waiting. Pivot!

Looks like they spun it around and rebooted.

Took one more rotation and I got in front and center.

Done! That was a trip down memory lane right into 1950s family humor. I'll just say the narrator John seems like kind of a jerk to me now.

"What's cookin'?" Tonight I'm making Chicken and mushroom risotto with peas and scallions. Dessert will be another round of banana nut muffins. Share your midweek menus!

I had Cava. Yum!

I made a loaf of sourdough sandwich bread in my Zo because it's too hot for the oven. So grilled cheese and tomato soup. DH will have colonoscopy prep :(

Baked breaded chicken, buttered noodles and little potatoes. Maybe ice cream for dessert.

Looking for tips for Epcot day, staying off property when should I arrive? Need to plan mid day break from the heat since August is brutal. But also need to try to leave by 7ish to do dinner at 8 at nearby carabbas (DD choice). Where and when to break?

You'll miss at least a couple hours out of your day if you take a midday break at your resort. If it were me, I'd book an early sit down meal, either a late breakfast or early lunch, to take an hourlong+ break seated in AC.

August 22 trip coming up fast! What's the best cooling towels ? I bought portable chargers on Amazon prime day sale this morning. Bringing a teen who only wears converse. I hate the idea but it's all she wears year round. Any advice? Bring a couple pair?

An extra pair is good to have. And we often pack newspaper to dry out shoes. It'll dry after you use it if you lay it out so it can be used again. We like to bring ziplocks. Fill with ice water and add the towels. If you have an extra you can swap.

Teens would rather be uncomfortable than admit to you that they were wrong, but you might want to bring a pair of insoles with nice arch support. That's the weakness of converse iirc: no arch support. But will she admit she needs it?

1:07pm on 6/23/26 by evamarie320

Unfortunately she's not my own, my kids bestie. My daughter told me to leave it alone,she only wears converse. I did ask mom if she was planning any other shoes she said no this is what she lives in. So I'm thinking request multiple pairs to swap out.

1:16pm on 6/23/26 by Crazycatlady3

Are frogg toggs really the best? I have one disney one we've been reusing since great movie ride close. It seems fine. But there 4 of us traveling. I have a misting fan as well.

1:47pm on 6/23/26 by Crazycatlady3

I can barely walk to the mailbox in flip flops but my sister wore them for a whole open to close park day. Everybody is different! I'll bet they will be fine.

1:54pm on 6/23/26 by melcort10

Maybe just be prepared for the possible emergency Mickey crocs purchase. But, I've seen people in all sorts of shoes I'd never imagine wearing to the parks...and they survive I guess.

2:15pm on 6/23/26 by maurine08

Thank you. I just want to make sure she can enjoy the parks comfortably.

2:15pm on 6/23/26 by Crazycatlady3

My DD16 always wears her Converse at the parks without complaints. As long as she packs multiple pairs I don't push the issue. I could never do it, but it works for her.

3:26pm on 6/23/26 by kcaseybooks

That's really reassuring! Ever in August? I'm preparing with blister band aids and moleskin and scissors! Any other suggestions? I added sukeen cooling towels to my Amazon cart.

4:25pm on 6/23/26 by Crazycatlady3

Where does one find newspaper for shoes?

5:48pm on 6/23/26 by j2disneygirl

I just pack in a few newspapers from home. Enough to do 2 sets of shoes- one set dries out in bottom of wardrobe or a cubby while the other set is inside the shoes.

6:04pm on 6/23/26 by hodg

If you can't find newspaper, grab the paper towels from the hotel bathroom in the lobby. They work just as well. They are great for drying out shoes.

6:07pm on 6/23/26 by JenniferB1975

I wear Keds or flip flops all dat Parks and I'm fine (&old). If that's what she wears it will be fine. Does this kid spend time on her feet? Or are those school shoes with lots of sitting? Yes bring gel insoles jic

My DD24 used to always wear converse in the parks. Biggest issue is summer when sidewalks will be extremely hot and she'll have very little protection from that. (Same with some porous flip flops)

7:48am by irenek

Just expressing solidarity- my kid also only wears converse. Hate that they are such poor quality they split at the seams in 6 months. I think we are on our 3rd or 4th pair in 2 years. But she wears them everywhere

7:53am by Totsypooh

She's not super active I think she's gonna be ok! Mom is sending 3 pairs of shoes and flip flops! Thank you I just want them comfortable and able to enjoy their bestie trip! Going into junior year and they deserve this special time together.

Hearing about some AC issues at Kidani Village and a little nervous after the WL isssue. We check in next week. Has anyone heard anything about the situation at Kidani? I see that the Disney Tourist Blog is reporting common areas are heating up.

Truthfully I think WDW as a whole hasn't been as cool I'd say in the last 10 years as it used to be. I remember bringing a sweatshirt or jacket to put on in a restaurant because it was so cold in there. Now I never feel chilly in any restaurant or store.

6:30pm by vickiwaffles

Totally understand it's going to be hot there and that it's unusually hot now. But given it will continue to be this hot or hotter in future summers, I hope they can improve their infrastructure for this type of system. I know some issues are unavoidable

From what I read it was restored overnight.

What's your favorite park for a rainy day? I don't mean for the daily pop-up showers and thunderstorms. If the forecast says it will rain all day, which park would you most want to be in?

Thanks, all! I've got all our first-choice plans made for next week's trip, so now I'm working on contingency plans!

4:45pm by ferbtones

HS so much inside.

4:51pm by snelvis

But beware of major flooding in HS too. I was trapped in the Toy Story restroom, and my family couldn't even get to me from Batuu due to flooding!

No more gingerbread house at GF. I know things need to change but im still sad as I remember my kids going there as littles

As soon as they annouced the bar in the middle I knew the gbh was doomed. Saw it in may and the distance from the house area It was confirmed. Not to mention the afternoon tea open again..

5:58pm by melodicwords

So very sad! I'm so glad I got to see it the last Christmas it was up.

6:31pm by njhyndman

Also no fairy lights on the castle. I'm not surprised about the gingerbread house. The priority became making the whole lobby a bar/lounge offering only 2 mixed drinks, 9 wine options, 3 beer choices, and one non-alcoholic drink. So disappointing.

Just left my 2nd paid DVC presentation at Poly Tower and my $100 GC was in my email by 20 min after check in. I was an easy mark and agreed I need to buy.

We go all year, mostly in the OFF seasons, but I'm hoping for a lot more Jan/Feb in future.

5:58pm by Ali Ababwa

Can I give you examples of use year with my August use year? Every August I get another years worth of points. I need to use those points, or "bank" any I will not use by July 31st of the next year. I need to bank by March 31.

7:04pm by PrincipalTinker

If I book a trip in May with those points, and I need to cancel in April, I need to find another reservation to stay before 7/31. Also, although my points are August. I can book that stay, with those points 11 months early.
