    All parks hit capacity today

    Wow! This has me seriously reconsidering my trip with DD12 in two weeks. I was already hesitant and I think big crowds would push me over the edge.

    Hagrid's Coaster Queue Updates / Questions / Reviews

    Well, bummer for us that we didn't know the system was rigged like that! Live and learn I guess.

    Posted time. Not sure why they need to inflate it 200-500%! How would us mere mortals know that was the case?

    Hagrid's Coaster Queue Updates / Questions / Reviews

    My son and daughter arrived at the gate about 10 minutes before opening today. They walked fast to the ride and were done in 30 minutes. They absolutely loved it. Otherwise, the wait has been 2 to 3 hours during the past 4 days and we hadn't done it

    Placeholder Deposit Refund - Cautionary Tale

    A check was never mentioned. I'm just glad a "regular agent" could handle it this morning. Problem solved. :)

    Placeholder Deposit Refund - Cautionary Tale

    I guess I won't next time! But shouldn't Disney have known it wouldn't matter?

    Placeholder Deposit Refund - Cautionary Tale

    Well, it's almost as if yesterday's one hour conversation didn't occur. Disney will refund my credit card within the next 7-10 days. I'm happy with that other than the time and aggravation during the past 24 hours. Maybe it was just the Disney agent handling it yesterday, my big box agent...

    Placeholder Deposit Refund - Cautionary Tale

    I'm not really too concerned about ultimately getting my money back, but the time and effort Disney requires is silly. Giving me a 7 day deadline??? That is ridiculous. I asked Chase to expedite and they trimmed the 7 day turnaround to 5-7. Good point about if I had simply canceled the card...

    Placeholder Deposit Refund - Cautionary Tale

    I asked the same thing because it is the same credit card company and the cards are linked. Disney even asked me specifically if it's the same credit card company and I said yes. I am going to call Disney direct again today and see if I can get a better outcome. Worst case, I don't know why...

    Placeholder Deposit Refund - Cautionary Tale

    18 months ago we were on the Fantasy and booked two placeholder reservations. I called my big-box travel agency today to have my $500 refunded as we are unable to cruise before the deadline. Since the credit card I used for the deposit was canceled due to fraud I am now expected to get a...

    Something special for a 9 y.o. Harry Potter fan

    Honestly, I wouldn't spend a lot of time on it. With one day and doing both HP areas including the ride between the two on Hogwarts Express I have no doubt your niece will be thrilled with simply walking through the two areas and shops, eating at one or both restaurants and riding the rides...

    Update to new Potter ride...

    It can't be finished soon enough! Love the concept. Any update as to completion date?

    What would you like to see at a Fourth Universal Orlando Gate?

    Is it for sure that the HP land will be based on Fantastic Beasts? I was thinking the only remaining large "set" from HP was the Ministry of Magic, but something from Fantastic Beasts makes sense.

    1 day at universal or MVMCP

    We have been to MVMCP several times and would not consider doing it over a day or more at USO. Not even close. The age of your daughter might factor in as well. 10 or over would make USO a must-do and for multiple days, but really any age would make for a great day especially with the amount...

    A little disappointed about PBH

    And, woah, you were here 15 years ago giving advice! Bravo and thank you!

    2 Park Seasonal Pass - can you add one day Volcano Bay? Cost?

    The 3 Park seasonal is $100 more than the 2 Park. A day ticket is $80.

    Toothsome - shut down

    I won't either for our trip in mid October. In fact, DD10 just last night mentioned how she can't wait to order the chocolate french toast again. I, of course, will not be mentioning anything about this whole debacle and will promptly order my usual Revolutionary Old Fashioned. That thing...

    Shuttle to Sea World~Staying at Royal Pacific

    I hadn’t thought of a day at SeaWorld for one of our days at USO in October, I really like that idea. I priced a Lyft ride from Portofino where we’re staying and it’s only $12.74. That seems like a great deal for the convenience of leaving when we want directly from our hotel.

    Kang & Kodo's Twirl & Hurl

    For months afterward my kids and I couldn't stop saying, "aliens rule, humans drool!" We love watching and listening to it with a Duff Beer and Lard Lad big pink doughnut. Heaven.
