You could say I enjoy Disney things. she/her. Lots of typos. linktr.ee/pixiedustphd
People with small children (ages 2-7): is it worth it to try to do sit down dining during your Disney vacations or should I just plan on random quick service as the kids get hungry and we are near chicken nuggets?

Thank you for your infinite wisdom. My sibling is no help.

I don’t have the exact tally, but my partner has an uncanny unfortunate correlation of being unemployed during our Walt Disney World trips.

Looks like I very well may be next up to be unemployed when we’re at Disneyland 🫠🙃 taking bets lol ugh

I cannot yet fully confirm, but I’m just feeling pretty dang sure now that my Disneyland trip will have 0 parades/processionals. And I’m bummed for me, but also I’m taking my niblings and I’m like stupidly sad at the thought of their experience being fully devoid of parade 😭

But like… surely existing reservations for Napa Rose in early spring will be honored, right? Right. Manifesting. For me personally. ✨🤞

Let’s if I’ve got this straight

WoC dessert party: book in advance online

WoC dining package: book restaurant in advance, inquire in person about dining package, limited availability

Fantasmic dining package:
Rancho and River Belle premium & standard book in advance.
Cafe Orleans in person.

🤦‍♀️

Everyone: Disneyland is so much easier, you don’t need to plan for it like WDW

Me, trying to plan Disneyland for a group of 7 having no clue about parades, nighttime entertainment, dining packages: ya know this feels a lot harder!! Without all the historical documentation and clear answers!!

Been spending my holiday time trip planning and subsequently getting my hopes up of being able to do the Napa Rose Chef’s Counter for our anniversary. But also I’m deeply unwilling to stay up until 3 a.m. to call 😅 welp here’s hoping it somehow works out anyway!

Disney Vacation Club waitlist magic is the best way to bring some cheer into a slew of 12-hour workdays 🤩

Never thought this would happen. Feeling so incredibly lucky. To whoever canceled their trip: may your food always be tastier than expected and may you never trip over your own feet again.

“You should really update this small piece of information in this video”

The funny thing about video uploads is 1) they’re clearly dated, and 2) you can’t just change something in an existing upload.

I also always link relevant direct sources for folks to reference and note things change.

Sigh.

What other Disney Emoji Blitzers are out there?!

My last name is obnoxiously long, particularly combined with my first name. But I will say it is fun knowing I can just put “Jacqueline” on mail and there’s a 99% chance people know it’s me without the last name 😅

I have kind of a brutal work day ahead of me (already been so chaotic this morning lol), but then it’s drinksgiving. I’ll probably watch Spellbound tonight. Tomorrow my PhD BFF is here and we’re getting brunch seeing Moana 2, and have a prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner at a fantastic Italian spot 🤩

I’m tired of digging holes.

Work has been hard. My brain isn’t creative enough to post different stuff here and the bird place.

Uh. Let me just say good friend education (good animals) is still going on over at the other place, if you’re interested. And the DVC stuff today kind of eye roll 🤣

When there’s a substantial line out the door and it’s chilly, you don’t need to insert yourself prematurely and hold the door open. Just. Wait outside for 2 more minutes instead of let the chill in.

May your shoelaces frequently untie themselves forever.

Muppets inverted coaster, Muppet*Vision 3D possibly just moving locations… this seems like a W y’all—Muppet people explain to me why the crew is still mad.
Disney says there is still time to enjoy Rock 'n Roller Coaster and Muppet*Vision 3D. Also about Muppet*Vision 3D, Disney says: "...we are having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future."

I am excited for Moana 2. I don’t care if that makes me a shill—it’s a story I love and I hope the continuation sparks new joy.

However, I’d like to state on the record, that they clearly added a snaggle tooth to Pua and I don’t know why and I hate it. Leave cute Pua alone!

Posting this again as a reminder it always holds true. I’m seeing a lot of calls to not blindly follow accounts and vet folks, but with a newer platform I don’t feel confident I can vet people who have posted 2x on here.

If you notice me interacting with bad actors, please let me know!
As I’m just kind of following folks on here en masse, if you see me following/interacting with someone problematic in the community ✨please✨ message me to let me know. Oversights are bound to happen, but can be swiftly remedied 😄

*You* might be at IAAPA, but *I* refused to break a very clear policy at the direction of my client today at work and was subsequently mocked for not understanding a very “basic and common” practice in science that I do in fact understand. As a classically trained scientist. When my client is not 🤦‍♀️

The world ever too feel heavy to you so then you watch a “Dream… and Shine Brighter!” multi view video and just start bawling?!
