Creator's Key Takeaways

We are here on March 13th. It was March 13th today. Um, Walt Disney World have announced that they're going to be closing the parks on March 15th in response to the CO 19 virus.

They've been amazing and they've been touching base with me and touching base with Gary and just making sure that we're all happy and comfortable and checked on our flights and everything.

I would have preferred other appetizers from what was on the menu. But we'll see how entree goes. Bring on the real food.

If you're thinking of spending two dining credits here, our advice would be to not do that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a minivan as you're leaving the park after fireworks to avoid bus waits.
Go to the right when exiting Magic Kingdom after fireworks to avoid crowds.
Consider breakfast at Be Our Guest instead of dinner for better value.
Visit resort shops for merchandise as parks may be picked over.
