    diabetic

    My husband is type 1 diabetic and vegan and has found that his best bet is to bring his own snacks, and for meals to let the server know of his dietary issues and be prepared to talk to the chef if/when he has questions (we’ve found the chefs extremely helpful, even at busy counter service...

    Cancer and Disney

    I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and wish the best for you. I think the trip is a wonderful idea, and have a few thoughts based on my own experience (as a fellow 40 year old AP holder who has some major health conditions—heart failure, I need a transplant—and getting close to the point...

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    Just a heads up on the pool situation here at the GCH right now...when we arrived on the 20th all pools were open, yesterday they had closed one and this morning, when my friend who is on the trip with me went for a swim, she was the only one out there and she noticed that they had closed a...

    Blue Bayou menu change—no vegan option?

    Just a heads up for our vegan & vegetarian board members and those with egg/dairy allergies...I have a reservation booked for us to eat at the Blue Bayou on Dapper Day and I just checked the menu and found that it has changed. They previously had a vegetarian entree that was vegan (portobello...

    Together Forever Projections Question

    I was not there, but someone I follow on Instagram was there, standing in Main Street, and there definitely were projections and some pop ups on the videos she posted on her Instagram account (not_your_typical_disney is her Instagram handle, if you want to check them out).

    Excuse my ignorace but how is/was the earthquake?

    My only experience in the area when there was a large earthquake was in 1987. We lived a mile’s walk from Disneyland at the time of the 5.9 Whittier earthquake which was pretty intense (a short bookcase nearly toppled over in our house—after that we anchored ALL of the bookcases to the walls...

    Smokejumpers Grill - Jackfruit Sandwich

    I don’t have kids—and I didn’t look at the menu too closely as I knew, from previous posts on the boards, that the veggie burger I wanted wasn’t listed on the menu—so I can’t speak from personal experience, but the last time I ate there we sat a table over from a family with kids who REALLY...

    Smokejumpers Grill - Jackfruit Sandwich

    Also, if you are on Instagram there are some good accounts with info there too—I follow the following vegans on there for either their detailed reviews/how to veganize instructions or info on new options: @happiestveganonearth (she has lots of info and shares in her Instagram stories, too)...

    Smokejumpers Grill - Jackfruit Sandwich

    I’ve had it, wasn’t too impressed. The sauce was extremely salty and they used too much sauce (like, 50% more sauce than was needed), so the bun was saturated and soggy and it dripped all over the place. If I need a vegan/veggie meal in that vicinity I prefer to pop over to Whitewater Snacks...

    Blue Bayou for Vegetarians?

    I am vegan & have eaten there twice. I had the Portobello Mushroom & Louisiana Popcorn rice both times & loved it and my vegetarian mother really liked it, too. For dessert, I had the "allergy menu" dessert offering of sorbet (I think housemade?) and it was good, too (not as fancy as some other...

    First in the park today

    I think I saw you yesterday, too...at rope drop. We were a few people behind you & I did a "hey, that face looks familiar!" double take after I took a snapshot at rope drop. Glad you made it on first to PP (we were aiming at Alice).

    Blue Bayou Dessert Menu

    Also, if you have any members of your party with allergies, they offer a couple of non-dairy, egg free, nut-free & Gluten free sorbet options (they had mango and kiwi sorbet options last time I ate there). ~Meg

    OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASON & NEW YEAR'S 2017 THREAD

    I don't know about Christmastime, but before the RoA went down due to Star Wars Land construction, the Columbia seemed to be running most often on weekends, was often not running during the week on my visits. The main thing to remember about the Columbia is that it stops running early--earlier...

    Crowds at DL today and yesterday?

    I was there last night after 6 PM & rope drop until just after noon today. The crowds weren't bad, felt a bit light for August. There were some concentrations of people on things like the train, Fantasmic, Splash, etc. Peter Pan was randomly super busy today, posted at 50 minutes every time I...

    The Rose Gold Rat Pack Takes on Disneyland! An Aug. 2017 TR (Finished! 02/20)

    I am impressed you were reasonably coherent and able to do complex tasks, like take pictures, walk, etc., given how long it had been since you ate a real meal! I wouldn't have made it out of the hotel room until I had input at least 500 calories worth of nutrient rich foods in me before stepping...

    13 months of Michigander Disneylander AP fun--Update 8/22: Prepping for my husband's 1st day @ DLR!

    Yay! Yes, I am at the point where I am counting the hours until I leave...I bet you guys are at about that same point now, too! We will probably spend a little time in the LA area after our Disney days, but as our planned LA days are now forecast to be nearly 90F, I don't know. We will have to...
