Hey, rope droppers. We want to thank our amazing sponsor, the rope drop queen herself, Michelle McKnight.

She's an independent travel agent affiliated with MEI travel and mouse fan travel. We have used her on number of vacations and can't speak highly enough of her services.

If you were thinking about a Disney vacation, she's the one to talk to. Her services are completely free. Disney pays her after you travel, and she is a wealth of knowledge that has saved us a lot of time and money. So check her out on Facebook at RopeDropDre Queen or email her at Michelle.McKnight at M-E-I-Travel.com. Now on to the show.

Helping you navigate the Disney Parks.

With the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.

You're listening to Rope Drop Radio.

Welcome to another Rope Drop Radio.

Derek and Doug here talking all things Disney and Doug.

We're going to be talking about some advanced dining reservations tonight.

But first, let's talk about

some news because some interesting news came out today. Yeah, there's a couple different news items.

One is that there's going to be a Star Wars store coming to the marketplace at Disney Springs,

which is pretty exciting, kind of surprising. There hasn't been one already i was going to say i was

surprised that we hadn't had one before yet now should have been done about two years ago that's

right and then uh so mobile ordering um ordering your food off your app has expanded in the

magic kingdom to picos bills and to Pinocchio's.

So there's two more.

So it's really starting to take hold.

It will be great once you can use the dining plan to do it.

But right now, it sounds like it's working well.

It will be interesting to see how it does come the heavy October crowds, because they're rolling this out and kind of this end of July, August slows down, but October is really going to get tested.

Speaking of October, Derek, reservations have opened for the special events during Epcot Food and Wine Festival.
