Sharing my family’s example of a registration experience for a trip that overlaps the 5/20 change-over date, for any other folks also in this situation. Summary: Registered today, approved, and granted DAS Advance Selections for the duration of the trip. No doubt, this’ll be the last time for...

Absolutely brilliant writing to depict your resplendent, trademark-meritorious day; well, apart from the time-robbing forgotten hat and wet sock, trench foot-generating monsoon... I'm sure this would make Rob and Erick from Ear Scouts very proud! So glad you shared! Kudos!

Sharing a different angle on your question. My party of 4 (2 adults, 2 recent high school grads) took the KTTK tour in August 2022 and our (rude, mean, and arrogant) Tour Guide was The Supreme Enforcer of the No Phone Policy. The anti-phone policy on the tour was nearly abusive. You are not...

Part IV: Tuesday - Shanghai Park Day 2 We were quite excited for today’s Magical Moment so we were up and in the club for breakfast by 6:30. Regrettably, Ken let us know on Monday night that he would not be working on Tuesday, but the rest of the team swooped in to greet us and ask about our...

Hi Hellocat2, First, TWOV was so much easier than I thought it would be. I'd even read some reports that you had to get your hotel to list out all family members to prove that you were all staying together, and I never obtained that from Disney, whose receipt said only my name, plus three more...

Part III: Monday - Shanghai City Tour At 1:30, we began our tour adventure. I had booked through Jenny’s Shanghai Tours. I’d scoured all kinds of tour sites and selected hers because of positive reviews and a few mentions on this board. WE GOT THIS ONE RIGHT. This was a great experience. Our...

Part II: Monday - Shanghai Park Day Monday morning we were slowly up and at ’em and off to the Kingdom Club for breakfast at 6:45. At that hour, we had the whole place to ourselves. We were excited for some Western breakfast food, but it was far heavily skewed to the Eastern side. We all...

We interrupt our regularly programmed installment to test out my new skills on uploading pictures, after studying the board's FAQs. Attempt 1: Family Picture in front of the Tokyo Castle. Attempt 2: Picture of the kids in front of all six castles. Let's see if this works.

Test Test. Please disregard this post. I'm trying to learn how to upload pictures for a trip report. So glad I found this thread, along with the recommendation to use the Snipping Tool. Test Test.

Part I: Shanghai On Saturday 7/28 the family awoke early and bound out of bed singing Disney tunes in perfect harmony, brimming with enthusiasm for the adventure ahead. OK, you caught me. We didn't do that. That’s a social-media-worthy exaggeration. I never actually made it to bed the night...

Haha, OK, maybe over the weekend I will finally figure out how to upload pictures! Meanwhile, I'm ready to add another installment, but quite not ready for pictures.

Here is the first draft of our plan: Day One. Saturday 7/28. Travel Day. Fly from Rochester to Toronto from 10am – 11am, then fly from Toronto to Shanghai from 1pm – 3pm. Plus those 12 pesky hours of a time change, so a 14 hour flight. Essentially, all day travel. Day Two. Sunday 7/29...

Hi everyone. Long-time lurker, very infrequent poster here. We are just back from a whirlwind trip to Shanghai, Tokyo, and Hong Kong Disney to complete a long-standing family goal of visiting all Disney Theme Parks before our kids graduate from high school. As DVC members, we’ve done Disney...

@DrunkJam - Circling back to share that after I posted my March 3 inability to book for an HK room August, a few days later, all bookings opened up and became available. My final outcome was: Booking made on 3/5/18 for a 2-night stay starting 8/5/18. Essentially, 5 months to the day, but that...

PamelaKay - Thank you so much for your post. So helpful! I am also planning an August stay in Hong Kong and have spent untold hours trying to book an onsite room, even using other sites to attempt to score any available HKD room, but no luck. I knew from these boards and other sites how...

Thursday, April 20. Crowd Levels: Predicted 8 / Actual 7 out of 10 Today was our very last day, so we had to work in theme parks and packing. I had offered that we could sleep, pack, then park, but the kids were still gung ho for one final early entry, and still motivated to be on the first...

Wednesday, April 19. Crowd Levels: Predicted 8 / Actual 8 out of 10 Hi again! I returned from my business trip on Wednesday, then on Thursday packed and departed for a weekend dance competition, for which dances started Friday morning at 8, so we had to be to the host city by Thursday night...

Hi ChipDale! You are correct; when you purchase the Cinematic Spectacular Dining Experience, you purchase a set date online and then call to get a meal reservation time. The dessert reservation time is pre-set and will be one hour before the show starts, which is most typically at 9:00pm. In my...

Hi Lisa0620 - Thanks for reading along. Perfect choice for teenagers at Hard Rock! And, I know the waffling feeling about Club Level... In the end, we more than got our money's worth out of what was a $100 per day upgrade in food and beverage consumption alone, but the value of having that extra...

Hi k1koala. You will love your trip!!! Yay! To give you more details than you wanted on what we wore, here goes: We made sure that everything we wore over to the parks that day was water-ride friendly. So the boys wore swim trunks, swim shirts, and Keens. The girls wore swimsuits, swim shirts...
