    Can I say again how much I HATE park reservations!

    This is where I’m at right now. I’m a WDW vet and have a conference in Orlando in a few weeks. In the past, a group of 3-4 of us have tacked on a 7-10 day stay. Right now, it’s just not worth it. I’m doing a couple of days before the conference solo. In addition, I have a colleague who has...

    Hi all! OP here - I have been away from the boards for quite some time and didn't realize how large this thread had gotten! Although the information in the first post was correct at the time I posted it, it is obviously quite outdated now. If it would be beneficial to edit in current...

    What makes the most sense for a one-day plan?

    Hoping someone who likes strategizing wants to help me think this through. I'm in Orlando for one day next week - I have a conference nearby and tacked a day on to hit the parks. I really just want to spend the evening at MK; my original plan was to either a) do a party or b) do an after-5...

    I did end up booking the Bonnet Creek 3* (4.0 rating) - Music as expected. Thanks! (Two nights was $195 all-in - same nights, same room direct through Disney was $376. ❤️) I’ll try to find some time this weekend to clean up the first post - let me know if anyone wants anything specific...

    Okay friends... be my voice of reason. I’m going down in about 2.5 weeks, and need to stay two nights before heading to a conference. I’m finding ASSp & ASMu on Hotwire for $79/night. I’ve been dragging my feet, hoping for a $100-120 for a mod (especially FQ ❤️ - but really I’d be happy with...

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    I would ask at each location. Some are hidden ingredients (carmine) and sometimes they’re just accidentally missed (had that happen once, I can’t remember where.) Not sure about shared fryers, though. I’ve had good success inquiring at the locations if something “seems like” it should be veg...

    Jingle Cruise question

    Unless there’s been a recent change, JC is not open for EMH and closes with the park. ETA: Did some research and it looks like there *has* been a change and it’s open for EMH. My apologies!

    Magical express

    We have landed as late as 9:55 or so and had them collected. If you land later than 10, grab them; if you’re not sure, ask at ME checkin.

    What is the closest to your trip you've gotten FOP fastpasses? 10 days? 1 day? Anyone?

    Moment of, but it took a TON of work. We were at MK in the morning; around 11AM I broke our party in half and got 2 7:20P to 8:20P for FoP. I refreshed *constantly* until about 8P and got 2 8:20 to 9:20. I’ve only gotten it to happen the once, though (and I’m a frequent flyer.)

    AP with magic bands while offsite

    If Liberty Square isn’t able to help you, you might consider using your old MB for most of your party, but purchasing just one new MB for the long-range for ride photos. Tapping old MB is well and good, but there are several rides which don’t have tap-spots and are long range only (SDMT...

    New ticket system coming to WDW - Begins October 16th

    I just keep thinking about what a short-sighted move this is - particularly with the fluctuating expirations. My group be in Orlando next year for a conference. We’re going to fly down a few days early, spend some days at the park. Conference is Weds through Sat, ends Sat noon. We haven’t...

    Anyone done Keys to the Kingdom AND Backstage Magic tours?

    Did both. Loved KTTK, was very disappointed in BSM - felt like there was very little “meat” for the price charged. Would do KTTK again in a heartbeat, though.

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    My experience at Friar’s was... okay. Had to wait in line a billion years (only one window open out the row), and then when I got up there, gave me the allergy book - then I had to wait for her to service the other side AGAIN (I took about fifteen seconds to skim ingredients). The brat was...

    Rope drop for FoP and Slinky Dog Dash question

    For SDD - can’t stress strongly enough to stay right. CMs will request that you funnel to the right of the umbrellas - so there’s a pinch point there. Then, all of those following the CM instructions get penalized by people running around the left side of the umbrellas and CMs doing nothing to...

    Pop Century Post Refurbishments - Tub or Shower, Queens or King?

    0119 2 Queens Tub Connecting (to...0118, I think?) “Accessible” hearing impaired - so it has visual alarms but the rest of the setup is the same as a standard.

    Crowds now and next few weeks

    They’re okay. Not Christmas crowded, but honestly, Disney has gotten so expert* at down-staffing that it pretty much “feels” crowded always (vis a vis long wait times, etc. The crowds themselves ebb and flow on the streets from a mob to sparse.) In theory, crowd levels should drop slowly but...

    Alien Saucers queue

    Yes, except for the last bit before the merge. But I think even that would be visible for FP - it’s SB that’s behind the wall.

    FoP during EMH — full queue??

    Double-check my recent posts (I logged it in another Pandora thread when it was fresh in my memory) but I think we were on a bus at Pop at 7:47 and through bag check at 8:04. Most of the lines were just shorter than the ticket booths; we lucked into one that was half-distance between the booths...

    Hi! Happy to do it once I get back from The Mouse. If you don’t see the update by about Wednesday, would someone tag me again? Thanks!! ETA: I can also put some screenshots of how to find resort fees, too. :)

    FoP during EMH — full queue??

    Depends on where you are in the line. We were semi-front-ish the other day - not so front that they sent us FP, but front enough that we missed most of the queue (we saw the exterior portion, but were funneled through FP in the interior portion.). Further back would have seen the whole queue, I...
