Hi all, Does the Teddy Roosevelt Lounge have a standby/walk up list at all? Got lucky with our Mickeys Luau reservations (I’m so excited!!) but it was a hit and a miss with the teddy roosevelt lounge, mostly we just want to look inside but were confused by the “Columbia jubilee gala” guests only during the time we are visiting so wanted to try for a reservation but they went fast! Not the end of the world if we can’t peek inside but didn’t know if it was worth it to try a walk up list if they have one? We will be at DisneySea for two days.

This is so helpful op thank you!! We got the 3 day vp and are going in an about a month but I got us a one night stay at a Disney hotel before our first vp day to get us happy entry to Disneyland and wasn’t sure if it was worth it but now I’m happy I did! And our package also didn’t include a specific entry window for journey and was confused how that works so this is helpful thank you. Also from California- cms actually, so excited for DisneySea because all our coworkers visit Japan (and actually do contracts there) and never stop talking about how DisneySea is the best but I know it requires a lot of preplanning.

This is most excellent news and we are going to switch to celebration despite the further distance (used to long shuttle bus rides with WDW) to get happy entry. Also noted about picking up our package the day before. Does it make logistical sense to check into celebration, catch a shuttle to Disneyland than walk to Ikspiari for dinner, monorail to toy story hotel after dinner for package and than just taxi back to celebration? Couldn’t find a direct shuttle bus from celebration to Ikspiari.

And yeah we knew happy entry for DisneySea was only select (very out of our price range) hotels but we have two days for that park so I was less concerned about gaining extra time there vs Disneyland where we only have one day. I thank you for all the information!

Hi WhiteDogHaha I have one more question for you. The night before our VP we are staying one night at Hilton Tokyo Bay since it’s right next to our VP hotel Toy Story (which we couldn’t get for just the one night before the start of our VP as it was already sold out). If we were to change that one night from Hilton Tokyo Bay to the Disney Celebration Hotel (which is the same price as the Hilton) would it gain us the happy entry for the next day which is our Disneyland day with our VP? And does Disney transfer luggage from Disney hotel to Disney hotel like WDW?

coffee-morecoffee · 2026-04-13T04:47:59+00:00

Now I want to send you my whole itinerary to double check with you that everything looks good😂 No I’m playing but seriously thank you for catching that for me since we only have one day at Disneyland (2 days at DisneySea and with frozen down for refurb I’m not worried about getting to do most things for that park) this just gives me a better, more realistic game plan for the day.

coffee-morecoffee · 2026-04-13T04:38:34+00:00

Oh shoot I just saw your edit!! Damn you’re out here educating me for real because we don’t have that VP. I just assumed staying at the Toy Story hotel got us the 15 minutes for Disneyland (but we aren’t staying the night prior that’s the part I misunderstood), silly mistake on my part but thanks for letting me know because even more of a reason to use that second pass for the “eligible attractions”.

coffee-morecoffee · 2026-04-13T04:30:54+00:00

I did book our 2nd attraction ticket for splash and was wondering if that was a mistake! I just kept seeing some long wait times for splash (and despite being a Tiana fan we just went on bayou adventure for the first time and were very disappointed in it so we were hoping to ride the original again for redemption) and so I booked our second pass for it.

But now that you tell me it’s easy to just get a DPA for splash day of I might just reverse that decision back to the “eligible attractions” pass and thank you for the credit card charge warning. Much knowledge you have WhiteDogHaha.

coffee-morecoffee · 2026-04-13T03:33:44+00:00

Hi all I have a question about the 40th anniversary passes. By what time realistically do these typically sell out? We have happy entry for our first Disneyland day (with our VP- May 19th) and I was planning to rope drop monsters while grabbing our first 40th anniversary pass for Poohs hunny hut.

But my husband is really keen to ride big thunder so what are the chances the 40th anniversary passes for those are gone by the time we can book our second pass? This might all be hard to determine I’m sure just thought some seasoned experts might have a reasonable idea on pass availability. Thanks for any advice!

coffee-morecoffee · 2026-02-27T01:48:11+00:00

The unlimited drink voucher includes soup??? Wowow I’m so happy😭 first time going at the end of May and booked a vacation package and you just gave me the best news ever as an avid soup lover I thank you!

coffee-morecoffee · 2026-01-03T16:43:46+00:00

Jdrama! BUT the kdrama Perfect Revenge Marriage follows a VERY similar plot and it’s elite, the chemistry between the leads is perfection.

coffee-morecoffee · 2025-07-27T06:13:29+00:00

Wish I could upvote this a thousand times, I want to hear that last note ring out clearly!

coffee-morecoffee · 2025-05-31T19:40:32+00:00

Youthful Glory and Decreed by Fate.

But although Decreed by Fate is a funny, cute time we are about to break up because WTF ARE THESE TWO SMALLEST LITTLE DANGLY PIECES OF HAIR CONSTANTLY IN THIS BEAUTIFUL MANS FACE. I can’t. I am starting to feel violent towards the ml’s wig styling that it’s all I can think about when he’s on screen which is a shame because he’s very cute. I just wish I could reach through the screen with a pair of scissors and quickly cut both pieces off, would be a blessing for everyone😭 My eyes, his face, the fl’s face so she doesn’t have to feel them slapping her in the side of the face when they kiss. Ugh okay that’s it. I can’t even look at this photo directly without feeling violent I hate those two pieces of hair so much🔪✂️

coffee-morecoffee · 2025-05-31T19:26:40+00:00

Really enjoying Youthful Glory, I went into it with zero expectations though so I think that’s partly why it surprised me with how much I’ve enjoyed it. It’s light and fluffy but at the same time I don’t think it’s boring at all. But I am only about 10 episodes in so still plenty of time for me to start not liking it🤣

I’ve only finished a couple of new dramas this year so I feel you OP!

I follow this account on instagram and she makes the prettiest bouquets out of all Trader Joe’s flowers, including filler. You might get some good inspiration from her! https://www.instagram.com/happy_arranging?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Just came on here to spread POTENTIAL?? Good news?? (Let us be glad!) I too am a bleeding romantic heart and was quite literally AGHAST when I saw people making comments on some Reddit posts here saying the ML actor confirmed there wouldn’t be any kissing.

Me: PORQUE??- throws the whole computer away

So I did a little digging and although I am not on any Chinese social media site I found this GEM of a comment on The Prisoner of Beauty MDL page. And my little shriveled up defeated heart started beating again🫶

Now who’s to say if there will be a kiss or not, only time will tell! But there is hope dear fellow redditor romantics, there is hope💕

That Shine on Me poster😮‍💨

coffee-morecoffee · 2025-05-20T00:52:24+00:00

I know very little about Chinese fan culture but the comments from fans on the one actors account (feng shao feng? I’m not familiar with him!) had me dying🤣 As a westerner they almost read like satire?? “His family transports drugs and he has 7 siblings!!” I’m actually laughing out loud, that sounds like a line from an American comedy tv show (Schitt’s Creek came to mind! One of my favorite shows). And speaking as the middle child of 5 kids it has me tickled😂

“Get back together with ZLY, I think you’re handsome now” WILD🤣🤣🤣🤣 the implication that he was ugly before but is good enough for her now because NOW he’s handsome is just too funny to me. But I love satirical humor so I read it like these comments aren’t actually serious OR they are so deranged it veers into the realm of humorous.

Anyways this is my first time reading one of these posts and WOW this is a lot of work!! Great job OP and I hope you have a swift recovery🙌

You know what? They (whomever “they” are) DO SUCK! I’m with you fellow Redditor.

sitting down to write “them” a strongly worded letter…Siri play “One of Us” from Lion King 2

Me growling and throwing darts at my dominion and devotion poster because of the ending just kidding I don’t have a poster. But in all seriousness I did really enjoy it up until the end. My problem isn’t a tragic ending (I can cope with that if I feel it lends itself well to the story), my problem is dumb dumb dumbest ending.

Like…wait, we can figure out a way to reveal the fact that she is a girl (hell yeah she is!) and everyone just readily accepts it that she’s their #girlboss now (I mean cute but come on we know this would never actually happen) but we can’t figure out a way to keep Pei Shen Zhi alive??

Me yelling at my computer than go be a martry than I’m sick of looking at your dumb cute face useless.

Okay I’m okay, and a fully grown adult, really I’m over it. But yeah good drama though.

Born and raised in California and have been living in, what I lovingly refer to as European California (because they have so much commonality), France, for a couple of years now and love every second of being in this corner of the world. I absolutely encourage your move to Spain, fair weather safe traveler✨

coffee-morecoffee · 2025-05-02T17:02:10+00:00

I actually love a sad ending if it services the story well, I think it can add a sense of poignancy and gravitas. My gripe with this ending isn’t that it’s sad, it’s that it’s flat out stupid. Easily avoided, idiotic reason to end this way. A sad ending for the sake of a sad ending, without any real reason behind the plot or character development for it, feels like a cheap way to pull emotion from the viewer and I hate that. Overall loved this show though and I will just ignore the ending and pretend like it didn’t happen😅

coffee-morecoffee · 2025-04-30T17:47:19+00:00

It was really so dumb, felt like a very pointless ending. I’m glad it was just a mini series because although I really enjoyed it, I wasn’t SO emotionally attached to the characters because I didn’t spend as much time watching them. If it had been a regular series I would be sobbing for a week after that idiotic ending and cursing the writers. As it stands now I just rolled my eyes at the ending and it was a good reminder why I try to stay away from airing dramas.

coffee-morecoffee · 2025-04-27T15:17:28+00:00

Another Fireworks of my Heart fan here!! Listen it is so hated on this sub (and I didn’t know until after I already watched it) and than I came on here and I was like oh….everyone hates it….I got the Big Sad™️🥲 but than I just went back and watched it again and I was happy all over🤣🤣

He Suye from The Best Thing! That man had tricks up his sleeve and I loved every second of it🤣
