    8am - Go to IOA EE or US standard opening?

    My in-laws were moving much slower than I anticipated, and of course needed a bathroom break lol. It was challenging but we made the best of it and everyone had a good time with what we did get accomplished.

    Coffee pot types at Wyndam Bonnet Creek?

    Just got back from WBC (Club Wyndham 2 BR) on Tuesday and they were these with cone filters and coffee provided.

    8am - Go to IOA EE or US standard opening?

    We are all very excited to make these memories together. It does feel like it takes a bit of luck, doesn't it? :)

    8am - Go to IOA EE or US standard opening?

    Really great perspective - thank you so much for your response! Low crowds in Diagon Alley, along with arriving to Hogsmeade/Hogwarts from King's Cross (instead of other way around first) is a very big draw. Kids are excited about rides, but VERY excited about wands so this definitely gives me...

    8am - Go to IOA EE or US standard opening?

    Thank you for the additional thoughts all! We do have park-to-park tix and I have definitely had the talk with everyone that we are going to hit the highlights, but there is NO WAY we will get even close to everything done. Our age ranges are from 8 to 71 so we'll only be moving as fast as the...

    8am - Go to IOA EE or US standard opening?

    Thank you! I am definitely worried about something out of our control making us miss out on Hagrids so doing that first will ease my mind (assuming it's running of course).

    8am - Go to IOA EE or US standard opening?

    Thank you for the details! This was our plan and then I started second guessing myself when I saw that USF opened at 8 as well. Will stick with IOA and Hagrid's first.

    WWYD? We will be at Universal for one day in mid-October staying at Royal Pacific so have express pass and EE. We have a multi-generational party, definitely want to do Hagrid's and Velocicoaster, along with all the Wizarding World things, will use EP to fill in all the other attractions as...

    Tusker House Character Breakfast - opinions?

    Interested in the answer to this too! We currently have a pre-park opening 8:10 reservation (staying off-site so no early entry for us) and I know my family would love to have some more adventurous things offered (I'm happy to eat mickey waffles all morning lol). We would typically do the...

    No genie+, No early entry and No $LL… strategy talk??

    Just back and used touring plans and their Lines app almost exclusively and still works as good as ever to avoid long lines! I felt like we were always a step or two ahead of the crowds as lines would get long shortly AFTER we entered (we saw as we exited the rides). We did have early entry...

    One day only Disney animal kingdom

    No lockers! Google maps says about 25 min right now from Univ to AK. You'll want to get there early to line up and get through security. Like 45-60 mins early. Ride order mentioned above is a good one. Have so much fun!!!!

    Christmas week trip offsite - any tips?

    Love a Disney Christmas trip!! We went over Christmas in 2020 and stayed at Orange Lake offsite. We decided in advance what our collective top 3 rides were and did those first. Then everything else above and beyond was gravy. We'd let my nieces (8 and 9 at the time) decide what we did next and...

    No genie+, No early entry and No $LL… strategy talk??

    I'd consider a Touring Plans subscription. Its like $20 for a year and you can create custom touring plans with specific rides/shows/restaurants and can also put in times you plan to be in the park. You can have them "optimize" your plan or move things around as you want. Can also download app...

    Help me spend $200 on 40th Birthday Tinkerbell surprises!

    Thanks @T.G.I.Friday ! I love these ideas - I think she's already got custom shirts and ears, but I definitely will do the room/door decorations and figure out a way to do the choice of treat each day.

    Help me spend $200 on 40th Birthday Tinkerbell surprises!

    Hi all - I'm going to WDW with my cousin for her 40th birthday and her mom sent me $200 to sprinkle pixie dust throughout her trip - which I think is just the sweetest idea! I'm used to getting daily tinkerbell gifts for my nieces, but not for adults so am looking to crowdsource ideas. I...
