Maybe I didn’t say that clearly. What I meant was that I would see “check availability” at 7 and when I click on that and select my group I would see a time. All I’m asking is to be able to join the initial draw, not having to wait until 7:15 while others are receiving times. Or are you...

That’s helpful. It was not like that the last time I visited WDW early this year. If I clicked on 9 AM for Slinky at 7:00:00, I knew that I might get something later. But at least I was offered something. From what you’re saying it sounds like when I am actually at WDW with park reservations...

I'm wondering what the deal is with this too. I have a short trip coming up in 3 weeks and started looking at MDE and Thrill Data to get some ideas on what to do about Genie+ and LL. When I saw this thread I started logging in to MDE just before 7 AM to see availability. For the last 3 days I...

So, tickets won't go on sale at midnight. Any guesses as to what time they WILL go on sale?

I will be trying this tomorrow. We have a very early flight (5:55 AM CST) and will likely be boarded and possibly off the ground at 7 AM EST. So, our daughter who lives in Florida is charged with getting a LL for Remy and an ILL for GOTG for late afternoon or early evening. We intend to go to...

I wonder how valid the details of this are now that modifying reservations is allowed. For example, it might now be better to book something even if the time isn’t ideal, and then try to get a better time by refreshing through the modify path. At least booking something starts the 2 hour clock.

Where do you find information on when there are additional drops?

I am familiar with Thrill Data but I don’t think that really helps with this question. They track availability at 5 minute intervals and I’m looking for what happens in the first 30-60 seconds after the clock strikes 7. After that, Thrill Data might show availability, but you can’t tell if that...

I've been out of the loop on this because I haven't planned a WDW trip since March. But now we are getting ready to visit for Marathon Weekend (assuming that Southwest can get its act together by then). Since my last trip, the Tip Board has been changed to block people who don't have park...

This is helpful. I hope the same applies to changing the return time of the attraction you booked. I also hope that allowing these modifications without cancelling and rebooking will make it easier to change to earlier times as other guests move around their times.

The two hour rule is important on busier days when the return times for popular attractions are more than two hours out pretty early in the day. It is also important for people who won't be arriving in a park until later in the day. That's what we will be facing on Marathon Weekend when family...

That’s why it’s a matter of taste and preference. The ability to stay at Disney deluxe resorts at a greatly reduced price is worth more to me than more money in my bank account.

Here’s how I factor in DVC. As an example, we have a 6 night stay planned at SSR (our home resort, which we purchased in 2006 as part of the initial offering) over the Marathon Weekend, at which family members will be participating in various events. A Preferred Studio in the Springs will cost...

Is it just me, or are the sections of the DCL “Know Before You Go” relating to testing for the Canada cruise hopelessly circular and confusing. The main page refers you to the “Canada Sailings” tab which refers you back to “Know Before You Go”. It does look like they have removed the ArriveCAN...

The Safe Passage site finally opened up to sign up for testing but the early times for the monitored tests were already gone. We all signed up for rapid tests at Hyatt Place on 39th Street (which is only a few blocks from our hotel) on Sunday so it will be done before we go to board on Monday.

I am having the same issue. I got into Safe Passage this morning (after some difficulty) and got to the point of ordering the monitored in home test. We were hoping to do this test at midnight Friday night because we are going to the airport early Saturday morning to go to NYC. Our party is...

We are going to be on the Magic cruise to Bar Harbor and Canada leaving October 10 with 4 adults. On return on Sunday the 16th we will be going to LGA right from the port for flights leaving early in the afternoon so we should have plenty of time. What experiences have people had getting...

Well scratch that. The cruise was cancelled the night before and after we flew down to join it.

For staying at the Poly I would plan to go to MK on Saturday, the day of the half. You can walk or take the monorail or boat to the park. They won’t let you in the park until the runners are all out and cleared for guests. That might not be until a few minutes after 8 AM when they usually let...

4 We got an unexpected opportunity to go on the Wish “Shakedown” cruise out of Port Canaveral on Tuesday.
