I had no idea it had been that long, but I now that I think of it, the last time we ate at Carnation may have been January 2020. That's such a bummer! Thanks for the info.

I was looking at the menu for Carnation Cafe and noticed that the malts they used to have aren't listed. Did they stop making these here? It's been a few years since my family has made a reservation at Carnation Cafe, but the malts were always a favorite of my son. Thanks!

I'm debating purchasing Genie+ for my family's two days in DCA. We'll be visiting the beginning of February. GRR will be down during our trip, we rarely ride GSS, and most in our group won't ride Incredicoaster. We'll be purchasing LL for Webslingers and RSR. I'm not sure that Genie+ is worth...

Hi all! I'll be visiting in a few weeks and am wondering about how joining a dining waitlist works on the app. I've never done this before (visiting for the first time since January '20 - was this a thing back then?). I wasn't able to snag an Oga's reservation, so would my best bet be to join...

We've always loved having the Toy Story lot so close when we've stayed here in the past, but after reading @DLgal's response, I'm a little worried we'll be disappointed by the changes. We may end up just taking an Uber back to the hotel in the evenings if we're too tired to walk. I agree -...

Thanks, that's helpful! I'm trying to be prepared for all of the changes that have happened since we last visited. I used to feel like a pro, but it now feels like a different ballgame!

Hi all! I'm finally planning my family's first trip back since January '20. We'll be staying at the Homewood Suites - Convention center. In the past when we've stayed at this hotel, we've always walked over to the Toy Story lot to take a shuttle into the park. I'm wondering if anyone could tell...

Many Disney movies reference the underworld- off the top of my head we have Hades in Hercules, Chernabog (based on the God of Night in Slavic mythology) in Fantasia and Fantasmic, as well as the ending of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride where we end up in hell at the end of the ride. At the end of the day...

I’m personally really excited about this. We love Princess and the Frog and I’m glad Splash is going to be themed to a movie my son has actually seen. Most kids now have never even heard of “Song of the South”. I also hope they find a way of incorporating some of the original animatronics into...

The jerkiness felt similar to TSMM to me. If I’m remembering correctly, the turns are less anticipated than in TSMM where you can tell what’s coming next. That could be due to the fact that I was so wrapped up in what was going on that I wasn’t paying attention though. I didn’t find the jerks...

We love Candy Cane when we are staying off-site. The walk isn’t far at all, but there’s also the shuttle which runs every half hour. It’s so convenient at the end of the day. The breakfast works for us- plenty of options. All of the employees are always super friendly and helpful as well. We...

We entered the parks for rope drop this past Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We were using 3-day tickets and they never took our photos during that early morning entry. When we re-entered last night around 6:30, they took our photos for those tickets. It was our experience that they were trying...

My family was able to ride today. Seriously such an amazing attraction! I knew overall what to expect but hadn’t watched any ride-through videos. My husband and 8-year-old son had absolutely no expectations going into it. I was really impressed by how immersive the whole experience was. My son...

I was in line behind a woman in SR who got group 90. So they did release some backup groups.

Got group 34. It’s a Star Wars Miracle. Can’t wait. Thanks to everyone for their advice!

Got to the esplanade right around 8. The security lines and turnstiles moved quickly. Currently waiting at rope drop to head over to SR. Keeping our fingers crossed we’ll be able to grab a guaranteed boarding group today!

Looks like backup groups are gone now.

I notice the app doesn’t currently have the statement about which boarding groups are guaranteed today. Does that only show up after the backup groups have run out?

I’m feeling so much more confident about getting to ride tomorrow after seeing how long the backup groups lasted today and how many groups they got through yesterday. 😊 Thanks to everyone who has been sharing their experiences!

Thanks for the advice. I’m definitely planning on going the evening before to (hopefully!) get it all sorted before our first day in the parks.
