Want oneDoes anyone know which gift shop (or kiosk) I can find this Orange Bird at either in MK or Epcot? Trying to avoid going in more stores than necessary. Thanks!

Trattoria al Forno is open, we saw lots of people at the Big River Grille, the pizza window was open, the Bakery.Oh no! We’re staying at BW next week for two nights. What’s open for food?

Not sure if it’s the same one, but Disney Food blog reported it was available at a shop in Animal Kingdom.Does anyone know which gift shop (or kiosk) I can find this Orange Bird at either in MK or Epcot? Trying to avoid going in more stores than necessary. Thanks!

That’s the alternate version without the sparkly eyes or big feet I kind of like yours better though, the other details like wings and mouth are nicer.Not sure if it’s the same one, but Disney Food blog reported it was available at a shop in Animal Kingdom.

I feel like for our family, there isn’t a lot. We can’t sit down for a long meal with a toddler so we’re looking for QS food. So while there are some TS restaurants open, that doesn’t help us. We have gotten a full pizza two days in a row from the Boardwalk pizza window and that’s been good enough but I don’t want pizza every day. We’re gonna try some Uber Eats offsite I think tonight.Oh no! We’re staying at BW next week for two nights. What’s open for food?

You definitely had better luck than our DHS visits in mid-July. We were able to do the 6 attractions you mentioned over two visits, each from about 9-6ish. We did get on RotR both days, so a total of 4 each day. And totally agree that DHS was the hottest/busiest of all parks during our visit as well.
I agree with all you said & have been there. Now we do Uber eats after having a similar experience.These are all great suggestions, but when I had a two year old I just wanted to grab something and be able to eat it in my room or somewhere the kid can run around freely without bugging people. To get in the skyliner and/or have to travel to get food is exhausting. (for those without toddlers they can be like insane unpredictable monkeys and so something simple like getting on the skyliner goes like this: start walking to skyliner kid has to go potty, go back to room and take care of that, then start walking to skyliner then kid sees ducks and wants to check them out, then get in skyliner and kid falls asleep/has to go potty/cries that he’s hungry/doesn’t want to wear mask, get to restaurant and he’s tired and won’t eat, all this while lugging a stroller and/or large bag) even if none of this happens, most parents are stressed that it “might” (seeotential insane monkey) so it’s really necessary to have decent easily accessible food options at the resorts. Kudos to those brave parents with toddlers/babies that keep traveling . I look back and can’t believe I did that much work to go to Disney all the time…..and Disney knows people go with small kids and should have options for their needs.
Boardwalk and Beach club have never had real quick service restaurants. Beach Club is a little better with the marketplace options. If anything the mobile order at two table service restaurants is an improvement over pre-Covid times. If I was relying on quick service for the majority of my meals I definitely wouldn’t stay there. They are both right next to Epcot with plenty of food options though. We also took a ride on the skyliner to check out and eat at the Riviera a couple of times. That’s a ride in itself for a toddler without even entering a park.These are all great suggestions, but when I had a two year old I just wanted to grab something and be able to eat it in my room or somewhere the kid can run around freely without bugging people.

You hit it on the head! Just put my Uber eats order in. I’m happy to give some money to local businesses instead of Disney. I don’t feel like Disney has done enough for their guests lately. So I’m a little disenchanted with them at the moment.These are all great suggestions, but when I had a two year old I just wanted to grab something and be able to eat it in my room or somewhere the kid can run around freely without bugging people.

Some better, the nausea seems to be gone, but we're still fighting the fever he has as well as the cough. He got tested first thing this morning, as did the rest of us. We should have the results sometime later today . Thanks for asking.

You can also mobile order from the Ale & Compass. You can also eat at Martha’s Vineyard. We saw families there in the dinner hours.

Dolphin has a pretty nice little ice cream/sandwich shop and a decent grab and go. Picabu is not bad there either.You can also mobile order from the Ale & Compass. You can also eat at Martha’s Vineyard. We saw families there in the dinner hours. Your little one won’t be the only toddler.
