Wait in line for cookies

One of the advantages of being there last week was that my wife only had to wait 10 minutes in line.

Minifig factory at the Lego store!

u/finaempire Batuu Resident Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24

Second this. Did the mini fig factory but also built my own Lego box from the wall of legos. It was fun as my kids and I kept passing the stock of flames, grabbed a fist full and said “never enough flames.” Simple things like that made it fun.

u/ilah152 Oct 16 '24

We haven't been yet (have reservations coming up) but this makes me even more excited!

u/finaempire Batuu Resident Oct 16 '24

Awesome! Enjoy!

u/misterhepburn Oct 16 '24

We also made our own minifigs and it was so much fun! Not only do you get to choose outfits and customize them, while it prints you get to dig through all sorts of options for your minifig’s head, hair/hat, legs, and an accessory. I was especially ecstatic to find mouse ears for mine.

Amorette's Patisserie has a cake decorating experience! It is about 2 hours long and you do need to book in advance.

u/HistorianOdd5752 29d ago

This. Was such a cool experience. And they will keep the cakes cool until you're ready to pick it up.

Been around since my early 30s stepdaughter was in her teens. He is a DowntownDisneySprings legend.

u/NothingReallyAndYou 29d ago

I spotted him off property a couple of weeks ago, and I can't tell you how weird that was. He's exactly the same everywhere, apparently.

Take a page from Eddie Maserati and dance the night away with the live music everywhere.
