Dining at cafe Orleans for the first time. Is leaving tip acceptable since most Disney food places don't take tips?
I'd say leaving a tip is a must. It's a full service restaurant. - aidensmama336.5 #446 7-29-12 7:12PMLike Reply
I agree. Restaurants such as Napa Rose, Blue Bayou, Carthay Circle, Club 33 etc. are pretty much a no-brainer for tips. Most cast members are trained to decline tips at least three times before they can actually accept them. At least that's how it used to be in Hotels. - AndrewDom 257.4 #929 7-29-12 10:31PM
Yes, a must! That is why they a place to add a tip on the credit card receipts. - VanDisney 342.0 #427 7-29-12 11:17PM
Radiator spring racers broke down again :( second attempt to experience this attraction. Still not successful :(

Is today a busy day to go to Disneyland? I want to go with my family but we are debating whether to skip and go after thanksgiving weekend. What's the prediction?
Super busy, from what I have heard. Yesterday sounded like it was a little crazy due to how crowded it was, and today no AP's are blocked out, all students are off of school, and a lot of people have today off or have a half day due to the holiday. - soulrenee210.2 #1492 11-23-11 8:57AMLike(1) Reply

I just read this Disney fact from the Disney Facebook page I thought it was cool to share.
Disney Fact: When "It's a small world" opened at Disneyland, Walt Disney poured water from each of the seven seas into the ride's water channel.

Silly question... What exactly is the goat effect?
Right after the second climb on Thunder Mountain, you will see a goat holding a stick of dynamite. Look at it while you loop around to the right, and don't take your eyes off it. It must be experienced to know what it is. It would be like trying to describe the taste of a dole whip to a person that has never tasted pineapple. - ZombieJerky372.1 #371 6-20-11 2:45AMLike Reply

Something similar actually happened to my daughter and myself on Autopia. Instead of usually adults and maybe a child cutting into line, it was 6 kids (looked like pre-teen/early teenager) and 1 adult. I asked the adult that cut how many more are going to cut in front of us as well as all the other people waiting in line behind us. The woman just looked at me, didn't say a word, and turned around to engage in conversation (in English) with her group. - jazmin21182.3 #1834 6-19-11 1:39AMLike Reply
