    Switching rooms mid trip question

    On an upcoming trip, I am hoping to stay in my family's hotel room for 2 nights at one hotel; and then switch to a friend's hotel room for the 3rd night. Both reservations are for the same 3 nights, so it's not a split stay in that sense-they are overlapping reservations and I would ideally like...

    Thanksgiving day and Friday crowds

    We are planning to hit the parks Thursday and Friday of that weekend. Thursday we won't be in the parks until noon as we're driving that morning from South FL. Do folks have any insights into Thursday Thanksgiving crowds? I know to expect that Friday will be bonkers packed at every park. Any...

    HS Fantasmic-Never Seen it...Is it worth it? (and to give up OGA's?)

    This is a very personal question depending on what you like? Do you tend to love bars? I know you said you have a little Force- but are you the type that wants to tune into every detail at Galaxy's Edge? And for Fantasmic - do you like night shows? Do you like characters? Do you like things that...

    Reusing Old Magic Bands

    If I have multiple old MBs, is it possible to get one of those linked with a different person in my party? Or you can only use old MBs that were previously linked to your own profile?

    Everything Genie, Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane - Please Read Posts 1-7

    Yes, based on everything I've read, Remy is the best first pick at Epcot - my setup is more personalized given that my Mom doesn't like Remy. Still a real chance that I shift this whole plan down 1 and and book myself a Remy at 7AM :) But for now going with a plan that suits us going on...

    Appreciate everyone's quick trip reports on when they booked certain rides. I've done my research for my May trip but it's useful to see real experiences of when people booked various rides. As a quick background-going with my Mom. Historically both frequent fliers at WDW, but my Mom hasn't been...

    Magic Kingdom to HS and/or Epcot

    Apologies in advance if I am likely duplicating another thread/similar question - I did look around and found some useful advice but not totally what I'm looking for. I am planning to spend a short weekend in WDW with my mom in May. We are only planning one park day, but to add on a hopper and...

    Everything Early Theme Park Entry (ETPE) - Please Read Post 1

    I can't recall the exact spot, it was before the Skyliner entrance though - we didn't choose a spot per se, it was just where they went in HS.

    Everything Early Theme Park Entry (ETPE) - Please Read Post 1

    Used Genie + both days, although we did standby in the morning. Day 1, we got a Slinky time for 11 and went from there. Day 2, got a Smugglers for around 10:45 and went from there as well. Genie + was not always *walk-on* but it did seem to be consistently quicker than standby when we used it...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    General impressions from my trip this past weekend, since I found this thread interesting before my trip. Focused on the "extras" so to speak that we paid for: - Very Merriest After Hours: We had a total ball. It is admittedly a fortune, and we made the decision to splurge- but its hard to beat...

    Everything Early Theme Park Entry (ETPE) - Please Read Post 1

    Sharing our early entry experience from rope dropping HS two days in a row, with very different experiences. Times are approximate. Hope this helps others: Sunday 11/15 - We arrived at HS around 7:10. Our group was part of the first 10-15 people in line to open the park, which was cool. They...

    Stand-by line for Rise ***NO SPOILERS***

    Checking now that Genie +/ILL have been open a bit, have folks seen any impact on the line experience both for going during early entry and for trying the line before the park closes?

    READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

    Long time lurker, posting my experience from the weekend. Although I never practiced, found people's reports interesting and sometimes helpful. We rode Rise two days in a row. Sunday: Lyft dropped us at Hollywood around 7:30; tapped in by 7:35. Went to RD Tower of Terror. FYI our wait was...

    Not All Good News for FP (Fixed.....for now???)

    Not that I wish frustration on anyone but seeing multiple people with the same problem has relaxed me. I'll just look at it later when the system calms down :)

    Not All Good News for FP (Fixed.....for now???)

    My app is showing the fast passes as all canceled which is definitely NOT what I did-hoping its a glitch and fixes itself!!!

    Official Wine & Dine 2018

    Coming out of lurker mode for a minute to note idly that I was in Universal after the Princess half and tried to daydream how a Harry Potter half would work -but no obvious race course that would happen. Universal owns significantly less land than Disney in Orlando (see: parking garages instead...

    2018 Princess Half Marathon

    Thanks! We ended up going to the runner relations tent the morning of the 5k and they reissued the bib no problem, since she was able to produce ID and the original bib number. So it caused us a lot of grief and missed sleep the night before (including a discovery that the lost and found system...

    Somebody in my party lost their bib for tomorrow. Anyone have experience with this? Are we out of luck? :(

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    Thank you so much for the quick replies! Yes, I figured $25 might be a long shot, but figured I'd throw it out there (part of convincing family that the California Grill is worth it ---because other options aren't significantly less expensive anyway!). I hadn't thought through pre or post tax...

    Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant/Dining Help Thread

    Do folks have suggestions as the best places to eat at one of the monorail resorts for dinner, both QS or otherwise? We're watching for reservations but missed the initial window so are hoping to snag a cancellation-and realize we may be doing QS if the right reservations don't open. Also would...
