    NEXUS renewal

    My wife and I were renewed in the spring without interviews. Both our kids required an interview. Cards came in within a few weeks.

    AKL or YC for 1 night?

    If you arrive early during the day I can see the benefit of staying at YC and enjoying the hotel/area. I also see the benefit if you wanted to enjoy SB on day 2 while on a break from Epcot by leaving a carry on bag at Bell Service. We did that at the Poly while on break from MK before heading...

    Need opinion: 6 day or 5 day pass?

    I agree with Genie+. Six days for more flexibility. Debatable if two half days spaced out are more/less relaxing than one full day off.

    SDMT Rope Drop or ILL?

    A few months ago the strategy on touring plans was to RD PP and then 7D. The reasoning was that 7D was down a lot in AM. I ignored that advice and 7D was down at RD. Later that day we waited 2 hrs instead of the posted 40 due to more issues. 2hrs in line in August after criss crossing the park...

    Grocery delivery to Disney resort

    We used Amazon prime twice during an August trip. Used the free 30 day membership and cancelled post trip. Not a ton of food options though so I would suggest elsewhere if you want variety.

    With all the price increases is it worth even going?

    Went for 10 nights end of August - early September. We usually go every 2.5 years and that long but had not been for 4 years. My wife always loved going and planned for months. This trip we agreed that it was not nearly as much fun and certainly not worth the cost. The crowds were not even...

    Have you been to Disney this year and did anyone in your party get COVID?

    Other than masking on the plane no precautions. In Disney 11 days. Wife got a cough 6 days in. A couple days later sore throat for me for 1.5 days and then a mild cough for a couple days. Daughter sniffles. Other daughter nothing. All 4 negative upon return. Did not test twice. If it was...

    Hopped to Epcot and entered at basically 2:00 p.m. last Friday. Immediate sought a boarding group for 4. Return time was about 8:25 p.m. originally. I do not recall the boarding #. Virtual line was about 25-35 minutes in the 3 times we went Aug 25 - Sept 2.

    EMH at MK

    Went last night. Arrived around 6:30. Heavy rain around 8:45 for maybe 45 minutes. With Genie+ lined up and the crowds light we ended up doing a lot of the rides by 11:00 including PP, Jungle and 7D. Did Buzz after 11 as we were stuck on people mover from 11 to 11:20 or so. Just enjoyed the...

    Your experience getting Remy Lightning Lane at 7am?

    I got 9:50 am for Remy yesterday using two phones with the slight priority on Guardians. The issue we had with Genie+ is that we walked about 16k using it. Got Genie for TT next (5:50) and a Frozen dropped maybe around 2:30.

    Inaccurate Wait Times

    60 minute posted on 7D on entry. Currently at 1hr 50 and probably 20 to go. Wasted the early entry waiting for 7D as it was down. Par for the course now?

    Everything Genie, Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane - Please Read Posts 1-7

    I did not properly foresee how Genie+ can be somewhat physically demanding on some members of my family especially in the summer. Did about 16k today just at Epcot for the 3 major Genie+ rides. Soaring to Remy to Guardians to Frozen to Test Track and back to the World Showcase.

    Magic band + shipping

    Ordered on July 12 to be shipped to BLT. I received a shipped to the resort email on July 14. Is it normal that I did not receive an email that they had arrived? The tracking number is only 4 letters that takes me to an error page on disney's website. Appreciate any info. Not yet worried...

    Crowds at MK day of MNSSHP?

    Wait times at noon today on a party day include 10 min Big Thunder, HM 13, JC 35. Pretty great. I bet the party wait times are not much better or worse.

    Passport for child

    Arrived 8am this morning without an appointment. Done in 1.5hr. The passport will be at the passport office in two weeks for pick-up rather than mailing it (extra $20 for that).

    What would you do?

    I would get a 3 day ticket instead of a 4. Stay until close at Epcot on Monday. Relax and sleep in on the Tuesday. Go to DS for a late lunch. End the trip at the party. I am not a big party fan either.

    Passport for child

    In late April there were no appointments at all for a passport apt. In booking with Service Canada's website it asked if I was flying within 46+ days or pre-45 days. I put 46+ . It then gave me the next available date which was today. No indicate that I had to be outside 45 days to be seen...

    MNSSHP realistic number of rides?

    We have not done a party since 2018. It was early September so somewhat similar time of the year. Every time we go (since 2005) it seems to get busier. I imagine you are going to see the fireworks and want to eat (1.5 hours?). Take away maybe an hour for walking and bathroom. Leaving around...
