Day 2 of solo trip! Join me for an afternoon at HS and then Jollywood Nights.

12:01pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Nice morning at the Riviera with breakfast at Primo Piatto. Now at HS about to dine at H&V for lunch with all the characters in their holiday finest.

12:03pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

I didn't get to post yesterday but really enjoying your posts!

12:13pm on 12/10/25 by Jennyhirsch

Have a great day!

12:36pm on 12/10/25 by molly99

After lunch has some fun in Toy Story Land. Dashed with Slinky and the Toy Story Mania. Finally got all the aliens in the rocket on the ring toss and made it take off!

2:18pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Now an afternoon of shows - first up is the Frozen Sing A Long!

2:19pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Holiday version of Frozen is so sweet! Now on to the Little Mermaid.

3:13pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Impressed with the rocket take off! Fun to follow along

3:19pm on 12/10/25 by hodg

Thanks @hodg!

5:05pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Next was the new Villains show which was great. Now boarding a train with Goofy - I'm sure nothing will go wrong. ;-)

5:07pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Jollywood Nights tip from @nj if you are already in the park (actually courtesy of Ear Scouts): you can get your wristband at Walt Disney Presents and then pop over to Vacation Fun to buy your merch early - did both at about 5:20 pm pretty quickly.

6:06pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Now I have my popcorn and ready for Fantasmic!

6:07pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

First stop at Jollywood - Nightmare Before Christmas Sing a long!

7:29pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

That show was excellent - much better than I expected! Then went to the Pixar disco and danced with Mike Wazowski, Sadness and Edna Mode - cutest thing ever!

8:39pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Next got some food - meatball with polenta and the sugar coookie martini are a hit!

8:41pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Just watched Glisten - impressive skating in Florida!

Saw Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! and warming up at Jazzy Holidays at The Brown Derby.

10:44pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

Finished the night by stopping by the Twilight Soiree and the Holidays in Hollywood Show. What a great night!!

12:42am by njhyndman

Love that you were posting that just as we were getting up in the U.K.! Fun night

2:57am by hodg

"What's cookin'?" Ranch steaks, Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and niblets corn. Apple strudel for our dessert. What are your midweek menus?

I am still so full from the chocolate waffles at Ale & Compass brunch this morning-just a nibble of something will be enough for me! DH is working late and will have to explore leftovers.

4:59pm on 12/10/25 by snowdiz

Spaghetti & meatballs with garlic bread. Unsure about dessert.

5:08pm on 12/10/25 by WendyMarie

Hamburgers, smashed potatoes, and hopefully a green veggie. DH is cooking tonight.

5:09pm on 12/10/25 by evamarie320

Chicken pot pie

5:22pm on 12/10/25 by simba77

No dinner someone (not me) ate to many chocolate chip cookies and is having a tum.

5:22pm on 12/10/25 by 58breezy

I think chicken pot pie for me, too.

6:03pm on 12/10/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Shut the front door! CHICKEN POT PIE!!!!

6:10pm on 12/10/25 by popupcamper

Costco chicken with marinara in a pot-sized pie crust.

6:14pm on 12/10/25 by JackOfAll

I also had chicken pot pie. Plus a salad and some applesauce.

6:34pm on 12/10/25 by utang44

Sheet pan beef nachos and maybe ice cream for dessert

6:37pm on 12/10/25 by erinfarquhar

If I could have found a chicken pot pie, I would have eaten it. Instead, 'went out of the bubble for fajitas at Chuy's.

7:26pm on 12/10/25 by gmcc

Eating around Jollywood Nighta.

7:27pm on 12/10/25 by njhyndman

That's a crazy number of chicken pot pies for one night!

7:37pm on 12/10/25 by evamarie320

Add another pot pie: We ended up baking a Publix chicken pot pie.

8:17pm on 12/10/25 by snowdiz

That's what I was eating off of, @snow. I've had Publix chicken pot pie for dinner every day this week and chicken pot pie soup for lunch. My bloodwork tomorrow will show I am a chicken pot pie.

8:43pm on 12/10/25 by utang44

I told my DH how everyone is having chicken pot pie and it sounds good. Now he's planning on making one next weekend. Lol. This is the place to go for dinner ideas.

8:44pm on 12/10/25 by WendyMarie

Chicken Pot Pie. Great together or separately!

9:25pm on 12/10/25 by MOJoe

Charcuterie pizza at the DVC Disneyland hotel's Palm Breeze Bar-and they had vegan cheese for dairy-sensitive dh!

We had clam chowder and fish and chips at a cute little place in Pismo Beach. Road tripping for a wedding on Saturday.

11:00pm on 12/10/25 by hookiegood

Pismo Beach?! I knew I should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque. Looking forward to dining at a restaurant in Princeton, NJ next Momday -- I made the reservation specifically to get their chicken pot pie. Believe it.Winberies.

12:37am by gmcc

*Monday! (I can't wait all the way until May.)

12:39am by gmcc

Going to park hop from HS to MK on a Jollywood Night. Do the busses run from MK back to HS after regular park closing? Concerned about getting back to our car.

Busses to HS will only happen if HS is still open but if it's not, just let a bus dispatcher know where you need to go and they will arrange it. Bus dispatchers are usually walking around the bus loading areas at the parks.

2:48pm on 12/10/25 by evamarie320

Good point @eva. They should run at least 1 hour after Jollywood ends.

5:42pm on 12/10/25 by youcanfly

Thank you! We are starting out at HS, then heading to EP and finally MK (if we aren't too tired- MK open til 11:00).

Any Disney gift card deals right now? I've checked Meijer, Sam's. Picked up Sam's Black Friday deal.Of course the usual 5% off at Target. Anything else? Trying to finish out paying for a DCL.

7:52pm on 12/8/25 by shockbl

Meijer just started their 5000 perks for $50 gift card purchase, goes until Dec 16.

12:58am on 12/9/25 by ljmcg

Giftcards.com also has 10% off Disney gift cards right now. Check your Chase cards for 5% back up to $50. Go through a shopping portal for additional cash back.

8:42pm on 12/10/25 by Razsav

The 10% off deal is showing up on their egiftcards.com. But it's not able to apply the discount code at checkin. Anyone else having luck?

11:41pm on 12/10/25 by Davesee

Last time the limit was $3k. So I started there. But went all the way down to $50 and discount not working on anything.

11:47pm on 12/10/25 by Davesee

It's snowing, it's freezing, I'm cold in the Midwest. What are your favorite beachy, hot weather , feel good movies with beautiful scenery so I can feel like I've been transported to a better place?

Another question - Jambo or kidani for an adults only animal lover planning on pool time?

3:33pm on 12/10/25 by VikeQueen

...view 8 more comments

Jambo has a pool bar but it didn't really have food (in 2023). V close to Mara, though.

6:59pm on 12/10/25 by TumbleMonkeys

If you are booking DVC room Savannah view and want to be close to animals, Kidani is best. Jambo DVC rooms are only on top floor.

9:11pm on 12/10/25 by wdw ocd

Kidani

10:55pm on 12/10/25 by cdlla

If you are traveling to or from MCO they are starting the shuttle construction today. There will be buses that take you to terminal a and c.

We love Cask & Larder!! It better not leave!! I would love to hear from people at MCO in the next few days regarding how much extra time is needed due to the construction. Need to adjust my plans. Thank!

8:29am on 12/9/25 by mickey1993

We landed at MCO at 9:30 this morning. It was a bottleneck at the tram but we only had to wait for 2 trams. They pack people in but it wasn't bad.

10:51am on 12/10/25 by polypack

The release from MCO makes it sound like the work is only on the east side of the airport. Is that correct?

10:25pm on 12/10/25 by cigar95

Anyone tried to fit a twin air mattress in POP rooms? DS (24,22,21) just realized 2 of them will have to share bed and are not thrilled.

9:46pm on 12/10/25 by ksswann

Reentry is always so hard. Somehow one of the kitties managed to catch a bird on the *fully*enclosed*catio* and left a bit of a gruesome mess on the bedroom floor to welcome us home. Little Gray, that was not very magical!
