Wondering about people's experiences with AK buses early in the morning. The Swan and Dolphin app says buses start 45 minutes before open whereas Disney buses say one hour and are often even earlier. I want to be at the front of the crowd for early entry at AK but would rather avoid the walk...

We got chocolate chip at Pinocchio's. I've seen a few people say Columbia Harbor house but that wasn't our experience.

Keep in mind it was on Thanksgiving week so times advanced a little faster. Jingle cruise was first I booked it around 9 once it reached a 3:30-4:30 window, then Peter Pan at 11 for 4:30-5:30, Big Thunder at 1 for 3:50-4:50 and Pirates at 3 for 4:00-5:00. Once we used Pirates I booked Small...

We were there for breakfast yesterday.

We went to the Tuesday 11/22 party. Purchased Genie+ with just a party ticket. Stacked Jingle Cruise, Peter Pan, BTMRR, Pirates between 4-5:30. Arrived via WL boat in front of Magic Kingdom at 3:30. Had wrist bands given out in line and then were able to walk through the taps at 3:45, held...

It was a little disappointing to arrive yesterday to no tree but really fun to wake up to the magic transformation!

No, there were small snowmen shaped pretzels at Christmas parties of the past.

You can set up Magic mobile to scan at the entrance to Lightening lanes - it's in the My Disney Experience app. Or you can request cards when you arrive. You'll need to do one of those things anyway to enter the parks, or get magic bands.

Thanks for posting all of those pictures! Wondering about the comfort of the sofa bed? I'm hoping with it being a new-ish refurbished room the bed might be more comfortable than some of the older ones in other Disney resort rooms.

You have two other days in MK, so I don't think getting to the party in the 4-6 window is that important for you, unless you're planning to get into a character line in that timeframe. If it's important to you to get that morning in at HS, I think you could get to your resort for 3/3:30 leave...

Question about club lounge access. I've read you can access on your check out day up until evening or later. We ended up adding a day without club room availability so we're moving to a standard room. Once I'm checked into my new room, will that cancel out my club access if I wanted to go up...

Did you have a non hopper ticket and reservation at another park that day? I've seen others report this somehow makes you eligible for Genie+ in those pre-party hours even though your regular ticket wouldn't have gotten you into MK.

So this isn't really a $1500 per night room, it's a $1500 per night package which I think makes a huge difference in the idea of whether it's worth it. You didn't say the length of your tickets but 5 day park hopper with genie for 3 adults is $2200. So you're looking at $1150 a night for the...

I had a similar situation with Florida residents joining us and very painlessly switched our package to a ticketless, or basic, package in order to add them and then bought tickets separately. That was two days before final payment though. I would think the money already being there makes it a...

Which LL did you book first? Was it Navi or the other one that was scheduled for later? I know Navi goes quickly so my guess is if you had that for earlier in the day you probably booked that first? In which case using it would not have opened up eligibility to book another because it wasn't...

We are flying in to meet my parents and had planned to have them pick us up at the airport early morning and head straight to our first park. They are booked on a FL resident discount package. In the past they've had a room only reservation and purchased separate FL resident tickets and have...

This has been widely reported by lots of people (even solo travelers) and seems to be a product of multiple people booking at once and the fastest gets the first time and others get pushed out later.

There was a discussion way back around page 85 where dmunsil broke it down from a programming perspective that helped this click for me. Basically the system is programmed with a simple eligibility rule that resets each time you book a LL. When you book a LL a 2 hour timer starts, you either...

Theoretically yes, though in reality the times may not work out so smoothly.

Right, your most recent booking was at 11:00am for PP (LL2). You can book either 2 hours later or when you tap into LL2 but tapping into LL1 didn't trigger another eligibility because you'd already used it, by booking two hours after you'd booked LL1.
