Are there any decent views from on property, or is Disney just too far away?

Links don't seem to be working on my end, if you can't see them, search for rocket launch. Within first 5 results is a view from MK and a view from HS thread.

 

[GBRforWDW]

Thanks for the threads! So look east, that's the best bet.

Ah cool, glad you can see em. They're just spinning for me. Yeah, east and far enough behind trees.

Are they still sending the Magical Express confirmation letter, since they’re not sending tags anymore?

Yes, I got mine last week, I think... Maybe the week before for our trip this week. Which reminds me, I should probably call to cancel since I'm renting a car instead.

Thank you. We leave in 18 days and I can’t remember when they usually send them.

You will probably get it next week. In the end without tags it really doesn't matter it seems since when you show up they can look you up. I probably would call them if you don't get the letter by 7 days out.

we leave 3 weeks from tomorrow and I am stalking the park hours.. we only have 1 park day (29th) as we are in for a wedding weekend. Any chance they will extend hours, even if only an hour later?

Most likely yes. I think tomorrow or Friday you'll see extended hours come out for the week of January 24th. If you're looking for the week after that, January 31 into February, those should update next Thursday or Friday.

Basically the week connected to MLK was increased 1 hour in AM for HS/AK and 1 hour in PM for MK/Epcot

Have fun....we will be there in 2 days. Yeah

 

[GBRforWDW]

Oh my, we made it! Took a couple wrong turns trying to get to AoA, but got into the room just before 8. Everyone loves the little mermaid room.

My wife and I decided to keep the destination of the trip a secret from our 6yo daughter. She went wild when we arrived at Disney world! Lol.

If hours are being extended for the week of the 24th, what time does that usually happen? I expected it yesterday or today because they’ve been changing 2 weeks out on Thursdays, but I thought that was because of the Friday holidays because they’re typically done on fridays from what I’ve read? I want to get a jump start on later in park dining reservations before they’re snatched up. I know they don’t HAVE to extend them, but I’m just hoping we get some extra time in the parks too.
