Is there a time when the Mickey and Friends World Tour and the Princess Promenade happen or is it random?

MrHappyApr 22, 2021

What time do the local bands plan in the theater, I know it’s Fri-Mon, but I can’t find the times anywhere. Thanks!

Sadly it is not. It saved me so much money. Hopefully another Priceline prediction app will appear soon.

the portion is decent but the cheese was kinda yuck. If it would've been "fresher" maybe?

HauntedPirateMar 08, 2021

That’s disappointing, as that item was one of the only things we really wanted to try.

CntrlFlPeteMar 08, 2021

we do wait -- not much else to do, but I am not certain anything will come back (at least in the near future)

They could always cancel it like DRL😄

World Showplace: Cider flight - good except the watermelon didn't have a lot of flavor. Lemonade the best of the 3 Germany: Potato Pancake w/ham. Good savory flavor Germany: Toasted Pretzel Bread - meh. the "melted" cheese was hard by the time it was served.
