    STAR WARS: GALACTIC STARCRUISER Official Information & Questions Thread

    Booked for October 17th! Question I forgot to ask when booking... our flight leaves at 4pm our departure day. Would they hold our luggage and get us over to Disney Springs for the afternoon and then back and to the airport? We may or may not have a rental car, and this is probably the biggest...

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    We're staying off property this trip, so far it sounds like Slinky might be the only thing we struggle with if we go the G+ route. Are they releasing another "set" at opening time for off property G+ purchasers or is it just the 7am resort crowd getting decent times now?

    Restaurant Suggestions for a Wicked Big ~ Multi Family Dining

    I've done several multigenerational trips - here were our favorites: (1) Ohana (breakfast actually, never been there for dinner) (2) Tusker House (lots of good variety and a nice break) (3) Boma (lots of good food variety and AKL is beautiful) (4) Crystal Palace (the grandparents loved the Pooh...

    MMRR for 4 year old (or younger)?

    My six year old rode it five times in one trip, it was his absolute favorite, and after one of the rides he mentioned how he couldn't wait to bring his three year old cousin on it because he would love it too. And I agree. Your kids are going to love it (and you will like it a lot more than...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    When we were there 17-24 we took the Skyliner for a ride after lunch (around 1-2 perhaps?) from HS through to Epcot and then back on the 19th. No lines anywhere, it was a walk on. (and a nice break!). You have to get off and transfer at CB, but you can stay in your cab through Riveria. There...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Just back from a week at WDW, here are some thoughts: I was concerned with no Fastpass we'd be waiting in long lines, but honestly between using rope drop, riding hard for a few hours, and then taking a long break and coming back at dinnertime to ride hard before close, we avoided most of the...

    Will Member Services switch points around for me?

    I had made several changes due to COVID and I was using fewer points for my new reservation than I had available in my 2020 UY after the dust settled. They moved some of the borrowed points back into my 2021 UY for me (it wasnt much, maybe 30?).

    Anyone nervous about how they will feel once they get to WDW in COVID-era

    We cancelled/pushed several trips over the last year. Too risky for husband and I (we both have several high risk factors) and between the plane, parks, eating, and the $$$ involved we just couldn't make it "worth it". Like spending $5k (between plane fare, park tickets, food, car rental...)...

    Will Member Services switch points around for me?

    I did call in and I asked politely, and they shifted things around to un-borrow for me. It wasn't a lot of points but it set things the "right" way. Never hurts to ask!

    Dining reservations scarce

    The lounge there has the ice cream (at least milkshakes...). Martha's Vineyard Lounge.

    DVC Ticket Offer

    I just wanted to share my experience changing dates for this ticket in case it helps someone... we got our first shots earlier than expected so we pulled in our trip and needed to update the tickets. FIrst I tried doing it online in MDE, and I could get as far as entering the new dates and...

    What is causing the huge wait times and MS phones to crash?

    The hold time would be more bearable if I could just vibe to Disney music while I wait... but the constant interruptions of announcements could just stop as a courtesy after like 10 minutes or something, or at least spread them out longer! Trust me...if I could do what I needed via the website...

    Dual Enrollment in High School

    My state offered college classes during high school. I took advantage. To give me the best shot at transferring, I made sure to go to a college most similar to what I would end up doing to later (in my case, a liberal arts college). I had good luck with credits transferring (everything went)...

    Fast Past+ Rider Swap Large Group

    I'm not up to date on this since our kids are old enough to ride with us now, but it used to be that for some rides you could get FP for part of the group for one ride, and use rider swap to get 3 more on the ride with short lines without FP. For the real big hitters like FOP or 7DMT there were...

    Anyone else concerned about the crowd increase?

    Crowds were a tipping point for us. We were already balancing the risk of flights, other transportation, etc. We started watching livestreams and looking at how people's days went and realized with no FP, limited offerings, etc. plus the expected crowd numbers, we'd be waiting much longer than...

    Anyone decide to pack it in and cancel trip later this year?

    We did Disneyland last year, so its been two looong years for WDW for our December 2020 trip. But we both have high risk factors, so we're really unsure about both airline travel and being at the parks. At least Delta (so far) has their priorities straight in terms of safe air travel (still...

    Balancing Home Resort Advantage with Cost Effective Points

    I just have to say - I debated this as well. We really liked BLT, liked AKL, thought we'd want to try different places for a while...we ended up buying BLT because we knew we liked it and we would always be happy staying there. When I went to book my very first trip with my points, it wasn't...

    Dessert Party or Dining for a LARGE party

    Ohana will take a nice photopass pic of you guys with Stitch with your whole group, and is very large group friendly. I've been there multiple times with both big family groups and big friend groups (in that 10-12 range) and it always goes well. Boma is great for eating, I agree, lots of...

    Will your kids wear masks?

    My kids are getting used to masking up when we go places (especially when we visit their grandparents for an outside more-than-6-ft hangout). My 8-yr old daughter didnt like her first one but the second she is pretty happy about wearing (I think she sees it as another fun accessory). My 5 yr...

    Think there will be good car deals in the future?

    Plan was to buy a new Toyota Sienna this May (when my youngest was done with daycare). Well, we stopped paying for daycare a month ago... so that's nice. But I want a very specific model and color, there aren't any around here right now, and it would just sit in the garage 95% of the time...
