To add to this, I love that we can use gift cards to pay through mobile ordering now

By the time we get to return the Disney Rewards card will pay for more than just a splurge mealā:rofl:
Itās sadly apparent we can add rank sloth to the already long list of louchely degenerate behaviors you evince with such enthusiasm. A person of more upright character would take a more fiscally prudent trip of no more than three days. The shorter time would focus oneās mind on the devotion to seeing only the most sacred of the sacred spaces, setting a sunup-to-sundown pace of grim determination that is the mark of the truly faithful. Instead youāll likely fritter away much of this time on revolting displays of wretched excess like ātable service meals.ā

Love this thread. Iām needing some positivity.
- We had some DVC points that we were going to lose this year so we were able to save 2 nights at a hotel to get a studio at the Poly. Weāve never stayed there and itās been on my bucket list.
- We got a cheap price on flights to MCO for a 7-day trip. Then United started rearranging the flight schedule and made a mess of it. We were able to move our departure out one day for an 8-day trip at the same price.
- I have mixed feelings on the parks being open later, because I was looking forward to being back at the resort and getting to bed earlier, but it does give us the option of swimming before going to the parks and then staying later.
- I love the idea of cavalcades rather than a full parade. I never wanted to stay and wait to see parades before COVID.

I imagine myself breaching the borders of such places on a daily basis when I finally get back there.

This is probably my favorite new thing youve listed 
It is nice to read through everyoneās āgood newsā items.
I know for myself, as Iāve become focused on what has been taken away, it can start to creep into your enjoyment of the upcoming trip. But when I started looking at the positives happening, it changed my attitude.
It may have been Dr. Phil who said, āChange your attitude, change your day.ā
But Iām in a quandary now. Last night, we were watching a DFBGuide on recent news, and AJ highlighted the Lunching Pad opening up. But she focused on the JalapeƱo Pretzel moreso than the Cream Cheese pretzel. So which do I choose? (Yeah, I knowā¦the answer SHOULD be ābothāā¦but there are so many things we are planning on trying, Iām afraid if I get them all Iāll come back weighing an additional 15 lbs. I donāt have the metabolism of @Randall1028 after all!)

They have both??!! 
Oh this is getting better and better. The jalapeno one is not spicy. Its got just a bit of the flavor. I would go for that one. Correction, I WILL go for that one. If you have 2 days at MK and you could try for a reg cream cheese filled the second go round.

1.Since my Solo trip became a trio trip I was able to afford the upgrade from POP to Caribbean Beach. Iāve never stayed at a moderate resort so Iām very intrigued about enjoying a little more fancy.
2. Delighted that the egg roll cart is open and school bread is back. Iāve never tried the egg rolls.
3. Looking forward to trying dinner at The Wave. I seem to make reservations for every trip to eat here and it never pans out.
4. The snacksā¦ ALL THE SNACKs
5. By the time Iām done with this trip, I should have enough Disney Reward points to pay in full my next tripās hotel stay, and possibly upgrade to CB if I like it next week. Free hotel, Free plane tix, all I need to pay for in january is food.
6. Iām leaving my husband and kid at home this timeā¦ girls trip! (disclaimer, as much as I love both of them, mama needs a break)
7. SIX DAYS!!!

After I started this thread, I was a little bummed that some of my good news items were only available on weekends.
But I see now that The Lunching Pad is open on weekdays (go-go-gadget pretzels!).
And I also see that Kringlaās Bakery is opening up fully as well (go-go-gadget school bread!).
There also seemed to be evidence, based on DFBGuide, that the Yorkshire County Fish shop will be opening on weekdays as well.
Further news (yet to be confirmed) is that there are signs Woodyās Lunch Box is being prepared to open.
Watching Prince Charming the other day, he encountered the Egg Roll cart open on a weekday! It was just opening on weekends previously, so hopefully it remains that way.
One thing we havenāt heard yet is to know if all the food booths for the Festival of the Holidays will be open during the week.
But more and more good news in the pipeline as our trip nears.

DFB posted yesterday that they would be open weekdays
Harambe Market is opening too
Oh yeah! Thatās right. Forgot about that one.
I missed that! That is good news, since we wonāt be in Epcot on a weekend for this trip!
Already having trouble deciding on foodā¦and more options are being added 
My friend started a spreadsheet to keep track.
Iām looking forward to the Cream Cheese Pretzel. I only had it for the first time in January- and was so disappointed it was not available in September.
Was sad to learn it was weekends only- as we go to MK on a Thursday & Mondayā¦so was thrilled to learn they are open all week again 
4 more sleeps! (Sleep #5 will be on Red Eye flight)

Following up on thisā¦appears that it might only be opening 5 days a week (at least for now)ā¦Wednesday through Sunday. We can make that work, though, as one of our Epcot days falls in that window.
