    Stand-by line for Rise ***NO SPOILERS***

    Ah ok. We got lucky then. Either way, my advice still stands though. Whether you’re “onsite rope drop” or “offsite rope drop”, it pays to get there early to minimize your wait time for popular rides.

    Stand-by line for Rise ***NO SPOILERS***

    No, off-site. Posted park opening was 9a, but as with Epcot and AK, DHS let people through the tapstyles at least an hour early, held us behind a rope, and then opened many of the rides 30 minutes early. MK did not open early. We were held at the rope at Liberty Square until 9a. No check for...

    What happens if you do this on RotR? (slight SPOILER for beginning of ride)

    Maybe you should have said That’s where Pizza the Hut is from 😆

    Is Disney more relaxed about herding guests out at closing nowadays?

    The last time we were at AK after closing (9-10 years ago), we left the last show of the Finding Nemo musical, and the park had been closed for about 30 minutes. It was nice to walk out of a nearly empty park, but the CMs were definitely waving bye and “thanks for coming” to encourage us to...

    Stand-by line for Rise ***NO SPOILERS***

    We went first thing in the morning on Fri, got to the parking lot about 805, and park was already open at the tapstiles. Waited about 20 min in the crowd, at 830 they dropped rope. Walked with the crowd (it helps to get on the right edge of the crowd first) into the GE entrance, towards RotR...

    What happens if you do this on RotR? (slight SPOILER for beginning of ride)

    There you go! (and I hope you said "Smile real big!") Agree 100%! I'd sing just a couple of lines (especially if I were in a group), just to see how they react.

    "Empire brand chocolate....it's the nastiest yet!"

    What happens if you do this on RotR? (slight SPOILER for beginning of ride)

    What happens if you mess with the Empire officers at the beginning? Nothing malicious of course, just something like snapping a selfie with them when they have you stand on the different colored lines before boarding your Rebel spy cart. Or another idea I had, singing a couple of lines from...

    What can I do special for my fiancee that's not super expensive?

    We're getting married in early Nov, going to WDW in late Sep. What are some "romantic moments/memories" or souvenirs that I can provide? (We already have ADRs at Sanaa, Topolino's, etc. which are memorable in and of themselves). By "not super expensive" I mean less than $100-150 per...

    What happens if ADR party size changes?

    I have several ADRs for 5 people. If only 3 of us show up, are we charged $10 each for the other two? Or only if all of us are a no-show?

    Skyliner back to Epcot

    Yep, that's what I thought, after re-reading my post. Dang, I was looking for a good excuse to ride the Skyliner. Maybe we'll just do a round trip to Caribbean after dinner.

    Skyliner back to Epcot

    We have a 9:10 res at Topolino's in late September. We're planning on taking the Skyliner from Epcot. Epcot Fireworks are at 9p, hope to see them from the restaurant before dinner. If our dinner lasts until 10 or 1030, can we take the Skyliner back to Epcot, walk through Epcot, and get to our...

    Disney World after dark: 9 rides you should try at night

    Back when we could get FP, we would do SDMT once during day and once at night. Different, and both are excellent.

    Blizzard Beach tips?

    1. If you can get by without taking your phone into the park (blasphemy, I know), you don't need a locker. Just keep your credit card (or KTTW card, if you're staying on site) in a swimsuit pocket. Bring towels, sunscreen, water bottles in a beach bag, and leave it by (or on) whatever chair(s)...

    Seems like you don’t still need magic bands, correct?

    If I have old Magic Bands for guests A, B, and C, can the bands for B and C be reassigned to new guests D and E?

    Planning Which Park, Which Day

    I always use RideMax for our trips. They do have a calendar, but more important, their ride-planning software is fantastic! Easily saved us 2 hours a day in lines (although this was when FP was offered). Still, you'll get the best wait times / walk times using it. If FP comes back, it will...

    When to visit Disney springs in September?

    6 day trip (Monday to Saturday), 5 days in the parks. When is a good day to visit Disney Springs? I’m thinking midweek rather than the weekend. But then that means a Saturday at a park. Decisions, decisions...
