Thanks to all for the advice - much appreciated. 1F

Sorry to piggy back on this but I am planning my first trip to Orlando in 5 years and have been quite shocked by the Universal prices. Is there any way of buying a ticket in advance for less than 14 days to the 2 main Universal parks? It just seems a bit mad to be forced to buy a 14 day ticket...

I was supposed to be going next week but have been able to cancel everything and am just waiting for the refunds to process. I'm disappointed but obviously, it can't be helped. I'm waiting until the picture's clearer before rebooking. The advantage I've got is that I'm a solo traveller so I'm...

BA is offering a travel voucher towards a rebooking on their flights if you're looking to cancel, which may be of help to some here. 1F

I'm not aware of the US having placed an indefinite ban on UK visitors - I thought it was just a 30 day ban from Monday. Has something changed? 1F

Can't say I'm surprised by this but it's good to see Disney take this issue seriously and look after its cast members during the shut down. I have a trip planned at the end of April so am monitoring it all closely. I'll also give kudos to Hilton and IHG who are letting people cancel all...

I agree with the other posters - a lot depends on how your flight is, whether you eat a lot on the plane and if it gets in on time (sometimes they arrive early but the plane could equally be a little late depending on congestion at the departing airport, wind conditions and congestion at...

Thanks suemom2k! I figured as much but wanted to be sure. 1F

I paid off my booking a couple of days ago, got confirmation that it's all fully paid for and have had my hotel booking and ticket package linked on MDE. This is my first time staying at Dolphin (always stayed at WDW resort hotels previously) so can I just check - does Fast Pass automatically...

Just put down a deposit on a stay at the Dolphin next year because the Disney resort prices for moderates and deluxe properties were just insane (Yacht Club wanted over £7,000 for a 5 night stay in a basic room). Never stayed at the property before but I know the location is excellent and the...

Oh wow! That's great! Thanks, Sarah! 1F

I have a question about bounce back cancellation rates (and apologies if I'm being dim on this): For room-only reservations, it's one night deposit with a 5-day cancellation. For packages, it's a $200 deposit and a 30-day cancellation. You must pay a deposit at the time of reservation. Regular...

May be worth taking a look at the Solo Trip Central thread. People can share details of their trip and if there's anyone else out when you are, you could arrange a meet up (even if it's just a quick drink or a dole whip and a chance to compare notes)? Whenever you choose to go, I know you'll...

Hey, mikeishere, I'm a fellow Brit and a fellow solo traveller and I empathise completely with your worries because I've been through the same thing when I was planning my first solo trip to WDW. So I'm just going to say that the first trip is always the most worrying because things build up in...

I've got a stay coming up at YC in November. I've stayed a number of times before - it's my favourite property at WDW - but I've always arrived early evening. This time around my flights have had a number of "adjustments" so I'm now probably not going to get to the site until after midnight...

"TLPL: I have a question about this. Do you mean even you downloaded the app and created an Shanghai Disneyland account ahead of time, you still need to have a Chinese phone number to connect to their in park wi-fi?" cschaaf beat me to it but what I will say is when I tried asking staff for...

I'm sure one of the other trip reports here covered a day trip to Suzhou - it's supposed to be China's equivalent of Venice, isn't it? I'd completely forgotten it was in the Epcot film. See, now I definitely need to go back ... :tongue: 1F

"Douglas Dubh: I’ve been telling the wife we should do a six night trip to Shanghai. I’m thinking three nights near downtown then three nights at the Disney Resort. Spend two days seeing central Shanghai (maybe do hop on hop off bus) then a day trip to a water town, then two days at Disney. I...

Thanks, Figarro, Douglas and MommaBerd. :D "Figarro: I'm going to Shanghai next year. I've been to Shanghai couple of times before but never had the chance to do a proper visit to French Concession. May I know the name of the tour company for the walking tour? Was it a private tour or did they...

I did a solo trip to Shanghai and Shanghai Disney in September and thought I'd add a summary of my experience and thoughts to the general knowledge here in case others can benefit. Background And Preparation I booked my flights in March because Finnair had a business class fare sale. I got my...
