It was probably about 150 people in total, and we just had someone go out and pick up a bunch of pizzas that we ate there. It worked well for our purposes (we left immediately after), but I can't imagine it would be especially practical for most guests

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Those photos are precious! I agree with the general assessment of the caramel popcorn. It's fine. It's not bad. It just isn't anything particularly unique. I'm pretty sure that was our breakfast one morning, and it worked well for that role

Where can you withdraw money in Tokyo Disney Resort? Surprisingly, only one ATM that I've come across in the whole resort accepts International cards.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss Many years ago, my parents and I were at WDW and saw the Diamond Horseshoe show at the MK, and also the Hoop Dee Doo Review (or whatever it's called) at Fort Wilderness. I know the Hoop Dee Doo has always gotten great reviews, but for me, it was basically a longer version of the Diamond Horseshoe show, with more plentiful mediocre food ... not worth the money, IMO. Now, the Buffalo Bill show at DLP, there was a show! The food was still mediocre, but the show was a real spectacle. That was well worth seeing. I don't remember much about the Tahitian Terrace, but I wish it was back at DL. The only other Disney dinner show I've seen was the Broadway at the Top at the long-gone Top-of-the-World. My parents really liked that show.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Although I never saw it, the original Golden Horseshoe Revue seemed like a really impressive show, especially for such a small venue.

Since you guys live so closeby, I figured I'll head over to trekkeruss for lunch and head on over to your place for dinner. New Blog Post! Dying to visit the parks, but you got too much stuff to carry? Never fear. Tokyo Disney has a plan for everything, well almost, but this time, they do. <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.honorablerat.com/planning/2015/9/1/giant-lockers">http://www.honorablerat.com/pl...-lockers</a>
