What about Storybook Dining at Artist Point? I donāt know where it falls on the DDP scaleā¦or the badger doesnāt like face characters scale (thereās a mix there). Food is good!

Itās two TS credits, I think. I have done it before. Bad experience. Snow White pointedly ignored me (I was dining alone) every time she came round.

And maybe youāll see your Aunt Elaine there. She would not ignore you.

We had her last time (perhaps you remembered?) and she was great.

That bitch

Maybe itās better now but my breakfast in February was really bad and not just because the skillet cinnamon roll is gone.
I think you avoid participating at HDD if you book category 3 which is upstairs. The food is really good.

Toledo at CSR. Best on property meal Iāve had.
I really like Raglan Road too. Skipper Canteen at MK is a favorite. DD and I like Roundup Rodeo but it was a ton of food for just two of us. Loved the fluffy cheddar biscuits with the pepper jelly and the sides. Dessert was good too. The restaurant itself is so well themed.
If the cultural reps are all back in Epcot, Chefs de France had some hot French waiters pre-covid.
I know youāve already booked the dining plan, but the last three trips Iāve taken, Iāve just been eating snacks and a few QS. It was fun to try stuff I never had stomach room for when I was eating TS meals with the dining plan.
Snacks:
Dole whip with pineapple upside down cake, cattail at Cheshire Cat, fruit and Nutella waffle at MK.
Buffalo Chicken chips at Trilo Bites, Chicken Dumplings with ponzu sauce and season fries at Mr. Kamals at AK
QS: Woodyās lunch box, Satuli of course.

It (Rhinos) would have been worth it at triple the price we paid. IMHO.

WELCOME BACK!
I love a more relaxed " donāt worry about the rides " day at the park. We do those alot more now that we are DVC. I also like just taking all different Disney transportation and exploring resorts.

We did HDDR for the first time this past March. The food was great, and show was both hokey and funny. A lot of fun. Audience participation is mostly up to you. I got to participate. I go to play the washboard at one point during the show (well, basically one person from each table got to if you wanted).

News update
UOR AP acquired 
I was slightly anxious about this because I had already ordered two UK tickets for UOR for me and Paul in December. The T&Cs suggested Iād pay a penalty for cancelling mine. But there was no penalty. Yay. I bought the 3 Park Seasonal, which covers both trips, though Iām blocked out of VB in the summer. Which is fine: Iāll be doing TL. The UK tickets were about $429; the AP was $559.
So I can now visit UOR in June whenever the mood takes me.
Iāve made a list of upcharge events for June that Iām going to shoot for:
KTTK
BTS
HS AH
Rhino thing
HDDR
I can book HDDR online, but the rest I have to call for.

BTW, one thing worth mentioning about HDDRā¦while I recommend itā¦it is a time suck. Just getting there and back takes a while, so you have to be willing to dedicate a fair amount of time.
Now, we were still glad we did it. It was a new experience. But definitely you need to plan for the travel time!

Well thatās the joy of this trip. No rush for anything!
New experiences are good!
Itās very annoying that you canāt book add-ons from the UK without calling. Iāve tried accessing the US website, but it just defaults to the UK one. I called but theyāre not open until 12 noon EDT, which is 5pm my time. Ugh.
The Universal website defaults to the UK version, too. No matter what youāre searching for, it completely ignores you and takes you to the UK homepage, which has no useful information on it.

Now that she knows about your trip, couldnāt a TA (@JuliaMc) get these for you? The only problem with calling is some will not be available at the moment but will likely open up as you get closer to your trip. I found availability for all kinds of things about a week before my last trip.

Did you know you can lie on the internet? I had no idea.
You might remember that Anthony is the dodgy member of the gaggle. He just taught me how to lie to Disney and pretend Iām in the US. And it worked!
HS AH booked
Rhino thing booked
I was lucky with the Rhino thing. It was totally booked up. Except for my departure day, which is 60 days from now. As you lazy Americans arenāt out of bed yet, you havenāt booked your slots and there was one available for me. Yay.
