    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Get Spooky!

    Does the Headless Horseman run the entire parade route from the start of the parade in FrontierLand all the way thru Main Street? My preference is to watch the parade in FrontierLand but I don't want to miss the Headless Horseman.

    Shaded tables near P&Js?

    Actually there is nothing to see. All the porches are cleared of all tables and rocking chairs and all the doors are locked except the arcade. The arcade is where you do P&J pickup. Whatever construction is going on is entirely inside and out of view of guests.

    Shaded tables near P&Js?

    The tables on the porch are gone now. Most likely it’s because of the ongoing construction. I’m at the Fort today.

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    Yes, you need to cancel the Companion first, change the reservation and re-add the Companion. You can probably call too but in the past if a SW rep touched your reservation then you could no longer manage it yourself online. I'm not sure if that's still true though.

    Budget Fastbreak/Costco Question

    I rented at MCO Budget via a Costco reservation 2 weeks ago. I also had FastBreak. They didn't ask for my Costco card but I was ready with it just in case. I was able to skip the counter and use the mini counter in the rental garage. It had been a couple of years since I used FastBreak so I...

    Southwest crushed my holiday plans. Multiple flights were cancelled, all on separate reservations for 4 people and so far no emails from Southwest. As I say to my kids “life isn’t fair”. ( It sure stinks being on the receiving end of that phrase. )

    Decent viewing spot outside of MK for Dec 30th NYE fireworks

    We just finished watching at the TTC ferry dock. It was excellent. Very few people and I’m riding the parking lot tram at 12:08 AM.

    Decent viewing spot outside of MK for Dec 30th NYE fireworks

    Thanks everyone. We decided to try the TTC spot. I think it might be better than the Contemporary given the straight on view of the castle. In case anyone is wondering, we wandered over to the Poly and this year there was no restriction on who can come on the beach. Maybe that will change...

    Decent viewing spot outside of MK for Dec 30th NYE fireworks

    I don’t have a reservation at the Contemporary but I planned to park at the TTC lot and take the monorail to the contemporary. I’ve heard that the Poly beach is restricted to those staying at the Poly. Has that policy changed? Or maybe that Poly policy is only for the 31st?

    Decent viewing spot outside of MK for Dec 30th NYE fireworks

    In spite of Southwest Airlines best effort, we are arriving in Orlando tonight. I was hoping to catch the MK “pre NYE” fireworks on Dec 30th. I have a MK park reservation but we will be just too tired to fight the theme park crowds (thanks again Southwest). I was hoping we could get a decent...

    Magic band + shipping

    My situation is similar. I ordered a magicband+ on July 27th via my Disney account as part of my resort reservation. It was customized with a name. As of today it still shows processing. Our trip starts on August 13th. I don't see a charge on my credit card. I'm holding my breath.

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    Regrading this post: With the recent changes to the tip board (not being able to see next available times between 7am and 7:30am) I'm wondering how that is affecting usage? Are people still seeing new/earlier times around 7:10am/7:12am? Just when you think you best understand the system it...

    Beach Refurbishment to Begin on May 23 at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground

    I'm at the Fort now and this morning there were 2 pieces of heavy equipment and several people with string trimmers working in the old Beach area. Welcome news indeed.

    Who's stayed in a Fort Wilderness cabin recently?

    The internet quality probably varies depending on your cabin location. I was in the 2700 loop at it worked just fine for me. Is that true in all the loops? Who knows but I also saw a post recently that Disney was working on the Wifi access points at the Fort this spring. Perhaps the Wifi...

    Who's stayed in a Fort Wilderness cabin recently?

    I just stayed at the Cabins a week ago. In terms of condition, they were fine. They are not new but they are well kept. We had a car so we didn't have a lot of experience with the internal bus system. However they appeared to run almost continuously. It was my second stay in a year and a...

    How strict is the Yachtsmans dress code?

    Thanks for all the helpful replies. We decided to switch to Steakhouse 71 instead. I don't want to be "that guy" at Yachtsmans. I suppose I can now join the "Steakhouse 71 or Yachtmans" thread.

    How strict is the Yachtsmans dress code?

    I wasn't aware that Yachtsmans has a dress code. Sadly I only packed lots of Disney T shirts and cargo shorts. Is the posted dress code real? Will I feel out of place? Thanks .

    In my experience it wasn't immediate but the transfer completed the same day.
