MouseDining.com Tutorial 3 of 10 – Setting & Managing Alerts

Videos By May 18, 2021 No Comments

This third video in a tutorial series of 10 describes how to set and manage your MouseDining.com alerts. These alerts help you get last-minute and hard-to-find dining reservations at Disney restaurants. To set an alert, you can do this from the main navigation menu of the site, or from any restaurant page within the availability calendar.

A MouseDining alert consists of 5 things: Date, Restaurant, Party Size, Meal, and Preferred Time – in that hierarchy. It’s important to note that Alerts are simultaneous and limited. Free accounts get 6 alerts, monthly subscribers get 50 alerts, and annual subscribers get 100 alerts. Notifications, however, are limitless. Notifications are the email or text messages MouseDining sends to notify you of a match to your alert. Think of an alert as an alarm that you set. When this criteria is met, we sound the alarm in the form of a notification. When setting alerts, you can prioritize and strategize your alerts to get more from the MouseDining service.

My recommendation is to start out broad, snagging any dining reservation at the restaurant(s) you most anticipate dining at. Then, once you secure a less-than ideal dining reservation, narrow the parameters of your alerts to try for a more ideal dining reservation. Another tip is to consider planning your days around your dining plans instead of trying to fit your dining plans into your day. You’ll find it much easier to get dining reservations this way.

Conjuring Up the Magic – Recipes for Your #HalfwaytoHalloween

Cooking Up the Magic at Home By May 7, 2021 1 Comment

Disney is Conjuring Up the Magic for our #HalfwaytoHalloween takeover and treating you to four wickedly delicious recipes – perfect for when you socialize with your own grim grinning ghosts! They have autumnal pumpkin and apple recipes plus Disney villain-inspired deviled dragon eggs and a delicious, healthful smoothie.

Also, check out the scary good limited-time treats offered at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes (Downtown Disney District) and The Ganachery and Gideon’s Bakehouse (Disney Springs) during our Halfway to Halloween celebration! Grab them before they disappear like a ghost!

Disney Villains: Devilishly Delicious Cookbook - Underworld Smoothies and Deviled Dragon Eggs

Bad has never tasted so good! These first two recipes are from the soon-to-be-released Disney Villains: Devilishly Delicious Cookbook, where the iconic villains from Disney’s film library are the inspiration for the recipes.

Hades from Disney’s animated feature film, Hercules, inspired the recipe for Underworld Smoothies. This smoothie plays off Hades’ two moods: blue flames for hair when he’s calm and red flames when angry. You mix a blue and red smoothie separately, then pour both into the same glass for a healthful dose of Hades’ feelings! Click here for a print-at-home version of this recipe.

Even Maleficent would approve of these Deviled Dragon Eggs! Cleverly using red cabbage water to create the unique coloring of these eggs, this recipe takes a bit of time, but the “terrifying” results are sure to impress! Click here for a print-at-home version of this recipe.

You now have the opportunity to pre-order this cookbook featuring these two as well as other devilish dishes. Why not make it a Disney movie night complete with matching your movie choice to a Disney villain recipe? Sounds like a wickedly good time!

Pumpkin Muffin

This Pumpkin Muffin recipe comes from the recipe vault at Disneyland Park. Served at past Halloween Time celebrations at Jolly Holiday Bakery Café, these perfectly pumpkiny muffins get a sprinkle of streusel on top for that right hint of sweetness. Happy fall, y’all! Click here for a print-at-home version of this recipe.

Apple Crumble Tart

Promise this is not a trick but a delicious treat – an exclusive recipe for Disney Parks Blog readers! We coaxed our festival chefs to give us a preview of an autumnal recipe from the upcoming EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival (starting Jul. 15 and running through Nov. 20), and they sent us a recipe for Apple Crumble Tarts. My foodie pal, Katie, made them (you know, for me to make sure they are perfect for this post!), and we both can attest they are REALLY good and REALLY cute! Who can resist a tiny apple pie with crumble topping? Not me!

Click here for a print-at-home version of this recipe.

Don’t be fooled by their flaky, buttery crusts – once you take a bite, you’ll recognize the rich, decadent flavor of a Gideon’s Bakehouse cookie baked inside!
