The buzz in the Disneyverse today is that Disney’s policy regarding outside vendor delivery procedures for ECV's and strollers is changing.
According to Orlando Stroller Rentals, customers who have placed a stroller rental reservation before November 2nd, 2019 for travel before or after November 2nd will be able to pick up their rented strollers from Bell Services at their Walt Disney World resort as usual. For stroller rentals placed after November 2nd, 2019, customers will have the choice to pick up and return rented strollers at Orlando Stroller Rentals’ store or at their counter at Orlando International Airport. Customers will also be able to arrange for a personal meet and greet delivery at their Walt Disney World resort.
Buena Vista Scooter Rentals have commented that their team is still working with Disney to iron out specifics regarding the new policy. At this time, they have heard from Disney that the policy change date will be October 1st, not November 2nd. October 1st is the original date issued by Disney. For rentals placed after October 1st, Buena Vista Scooter Rentals customers will have the choice to arrange a meet and greet pick up and return or drop the rented item off at their store. The Buena Vista Scooter Rentals store is located between Universal Studios and Orlando International Airport.
From what I understand, this policy change potentially applies to deliveries from all outside vendors.
If you have any questions regarding a rental reservation and Disney’s new policy, please reach out to your specific vendor.
We will report on further details as we receive them.

Disney World Guests Not Happy With Automated PhotoPass Cameras
We've been hearing that new automated PhotoPass cameras have hit several popular character meet-and-greet locations at Walt Disney World, and so far guests aren’t happy about it.
Part of what makes Disney stand out from other companies is the magic they create for families all around the world. One of the many reasons I love visiting Walt Disney World is to capture the laughs and the memories I create while in The Most Magical Place On Earth, and this is done through photography.
Personally, I think the PhotoPass photographers at Walt Disney World are trained with such a great eye that a machine simply won’t be able to capture. I have gotten some great photos - the hugs I receive from the characters, the conversations and interactions that are told through one simple photo, these are the memories that keep bringing me back to visit Walt Disney World, and I know a lot of guests feel the same way.
According to several online Facebook groups, guests have reached out to Walt Disney Guest Relations, but unfortunately their objections didn’t seem to change Disney's mind as recent reports show automated cameras now in place at the Mickey and Minnie meet and greet as well as Tinkerbell’s meet and greet in Magic Kingdom. We've even heard about some showing up at Star Wars Launch Bay at Disney’s Hollywood Studios too.
So how exactly does this new automated camera process work? When you walk into the meet and greet, there will be a character attendant there to guide you through the experience. There is a box across from the characters and the camera will take pictures every 3-5 seconds to capture multiple photos. The good news is the character attendants will still take pictures with your own phone if you would like some extra memories captured.
Once you finish meeting your favorite Disney character, proceed to the exit and scan your MagicBand at a kiosk to link the photos to your MyDisneyExperience account.
Personally, I hate to see the PhotoPass photographers leave because I don’t think automated cameras will be able to capture the magic like professionals can.

Details on Enchanted Rose – A New Lounge Coming to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Disney recently announced a new “Beauty and the Beast”-inspired lounge coming to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Today, we're excited to share the official name as well as menu details.
Located on the second floor of the lobby, this re-imagined lounge will be called Enchanted Rose and will celebrate the magic and romance of Disney’s popular live-action movie. Featuring four unique spaces inspired by Belle and the Beast, Guests will find charm and elegance around every corner. The lounge includes a chandelier inspired by Belle’s flowing ball gown as well as a formal library that will showcase classical baroque designs and French furnishing. A garden room will take its inspiration from the enchanted forest surrounding the castle, and an outdoor patio will evoke the romance of Beast’s garden terrace.
Enchanted Rose will feature a delicious menu with a variety of shareable bites. Guests can snack on an artisanal cheese selection with pine nut bread and raisins or enjoy an exquisite dish of white sturgeon caviar served with egg timbale, crème fraiche, and chives.
In addition, you could try the Mini Smoked Short Rib Sliders with glacier blue cheese and onion marmalade on brioche buns. Or if seafood is more their style, also available to order is the Espelette Pepper-Spiced Shrimp or Octopus a la Plancha with black olives, blistered tomatoes, and fingerling potatoes. There’s also the Crab and Gnocchetti Gratin, which comes with jumbo lump crab, gnocchetti sardi, robiola bosina mornay, and citrus breadcrumbs.
Other options include truffle fries as well as a house-made flatbread pizza featuring charred broccolini, seasonal mushrooms, fennel sausage, ricotta salata, and tomato confits.
On the beverage menu is a variety of beverages including cocktails and martinis as well as spirits, beer, cider and even a few non-alcoholic options for guests of all ages. Featured cocktails include beverages such as the Island Rose with grapefruit and rose vodka, lime, orgeat, pineapple, bitters, and rose water. You can also sip on the Lavender Fog (dry gin, crème de violette, English breakfast tea, vanilla, and cream) or the Garden Daisy (tequila, midori, lime, egg white, and cucumber). The lounge will also be pouring an extensive collection of wine and Champagne by the glass.
Non-alcoholic options include a Garden Cocktail (non-alcoholic spirit, lime juice, agave nectar, and soda) as well as the B&B (fresh-brewed iced tea, lemon, blueberry, and basil) and the Rosemary Cooler (Odwalla lemonade, vanilla, and rosemary).
Enchanted Rose will open this fall at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Stay tuned for more details!

Some Character Meet & Greets Being Discontinued
Some of the extra special character meet and greets at Walt Disney World are sadly winding down.
Exciting new things are on the horizon for Disney World, some of which will be open to Guests beginning October 1. Here are a few things at Walt Disney World that you’ll want to see, do, and experience before bibbidi, bobbidi, boo — they’re gone!
Mickey and Minnie’s Surprise Celebration
Last year marked both Mickey’s and Minnie’s 90th birthdays and this meet and greet will be available until September 30th. Guests can step inside Town Square Theater and say hello to the birthday mice and even pose for a picture with the two. Afterward, don’t forget to sign the Guest Book in the PhotoPass shop when you exit. Happy (almost 91st) birthday, Mickey and Minnie!
Mike and Sulley
Disney will say good-bye to Monstropolis on September 30. Since Mike and Sulley work evenings, we can only visit with them until 6:00 p.m. on most nights inside the Walt Disney Presents attraction. This is one of the most interactive and fun character meet-and-greets at the Walt Disney World Resort, so don’t miss it before it goes away.
The Incredibles and Edna Mode at Pixar Place
When the entrance to Toy Story Mania moved to Toy Story Land in June of 2018 and until September 30, Guests can dance with Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible and Frozone at a dance party at Pixar Place. Or step inside Edna Mode‘s Super Suit Gallery to see her latest designs and meet the mini-Master of Design at a special PhotoPass opportunity at the exit to the gallery. Even look for clues to find Jack-Jack in the area. But hurry! Jack-Jack will disappear for good on September 30.

Sporks Discontinued at Galaxy's Edge
At Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, Disney's main goal is to immerse you into another planet - detailed experience that is unlike any other you can have at a Disney Park.
One of the aspects of this immersion was the ever so famous spork. Sporks are a utensil that is not unfamiliar to us but it’s definitely not something you see at a Disney World quick service. They were first introduced to guests at Disneyland’s Batuu and were later seen at Batuu in Walt Disney World. However, it quickly became clear that guests were taking these sporks to keep at home or yes, even sell on eBay. It is now clear that the spork days are over and guests are now left with a regular fork.
This might seem trivial to some but the little details are what makes this land a complete, immersive experience. Unfortunately, the bad decisions of some will ruin the experience of all.

Hurricane Dorian forces closure of both Disney’s Beach Resorts
Hurricane Dorian has forced the closure of both of Disney's Beach Resorts - one in Vero Beach (2 hours southeast of Walt Disney World) and another in Hilton Head, South Carolina (just 5 hours northeast of Walt Disney World). Out of concern for the safety of guests and cast members, these resorts have been closed until further notice.
While the eye of Dorian may stay just offshore, this massive storm’s damaging winds extend out well beyond the projected path. In addition, the slow-moving storm brings with it the potential for coastal flooding due to storm surge and heavy rains.
