    Official 2021 Disney Very Merriest After Hours Thread

    I agree that if the stage show, fireworks, or parade (or any combination) gets cancelled Disney should do something for the guests. They don't have to but it makes Disney sense to do something especially if the night is basically a washout. My daughter and her husband did boo bash a few months...

    Official 2021 Disney Very Merriest After Hours Thread

    I guess we were lucky enough to get perfect weather earlier this month when we did the Christmas after hours event. We got to see full stage show, fireworks, and parade. The parade was our favorite. Lines for rides were low and just about everything was walk on by 11pm. We will pay up for...

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    Based on all the Genie+ posts - it seems it's not worth buying on extremely busy days since you might only get 2 or 3 rides in and that is very expensive for a family of 4 or 5 (crowd level 8-10 on a scale of 10). On very low crowd days (which is getting more and more rare) it might not be...

    Official 2021 Disney Very Merriest After Hours Thread

    We went to the MK after hours last night and it was incredible. Since this was our first after hours event or party we had nothing to compare it to. Rides were basically walk on by 11pm, and most even earlier than that. Free treats were plentiful. The cast members were giving us as many...

    Disney Genie announcement

    So can we still use our magic bands to get on rides at lightning lanes with Genie+? I know we use our phones to buy Genie+ and then select one ride at a time. I'm hoping we don't have to scan with our phones at ride entrance also.

    Official 2021 Disney Very Merriest After Hours Thread

    I'm an annual pass holder with a park reservation for AK. I also have a ticket for the After Hours party at MK later that night. I assume I can go to AK from 8am to about 12 noon, go back to hotel and rest up. Then park hop to MK at around 5pm to get a jump on the few rides that will not be...

    Can same day tickets be purchased at the gate box office now

    September is still one of the good months to be able to just wing it and secure tickets and reservations for any park on the day of (even weekends). Hope it works out!

    New annual pass activation?

    Thanks. I'll definitely go to guest relations before entering park on first day of reservations. It says Florida Resident under Membership & Passes after clicking on My Profile on the app. It also has my annual passes and reservations. It says my Florida resident status has been added based...

    New annual pass activation?

    We just bought new Pixie dust annual passes. I was able to make 3 park reservations with no problems. I was told I can just show up with my active magic band I have been using for park trips and go through turnstile and that activates annual pass. No need to go to guest relations. Does that...

    When the new annual passes go on sale Wednesday will we be able to purchase them online that day. Planning a trip at the end of September and would like passes purchased and reservations made before I get there. It does show wife and I as Florida residents in MDE. I've never had annual passes...

    City Walk Recommendations

    I'm surprised Hard Rock Café isn't being mentioned in this thread. It's loud but fun. We go every trip. Voodoo is also a must. Don't let the line scare you off. It moves fast.

    Is there still a "best day" for each park?

    I agree with others that say go when you can and make the best of each day. Our experience is that as a general rule Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are the best days no matter the park or the time of year. Sunday, Monday, and Friday next best. Saturday we always try to avoid. MK we always...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Going to MK next Wednesday 2/3. If park opens at 9am, does Main Street sill open an hour earlier? Also, I know some of the parks open for rides a bit earlier. Can I assume MK and the different lands do not open until 9am these days? Thanks

    Hurricane/Tropical Storm prep

    Looking at the Florida forecast for the rest of this week there doesn't seem to be any worries about the storm causing problems for Orlando or Clearwater. You'll be fine. It looks like temps in the high 80's near 90 which is a little warmer than it should be but nothing out of the ordinary...

    Are We Crazy to Go in July?

    You know July is hot and decent but not horrible crowds. Don't let it stop you! Fast passes, rope drop, and maybe a midday break will make it a great time. Every month has pros and cons. Go when you can and just make some Disney magic.

    Favourite MK show?

    The shows at MK that are being talked about are all good. My favorite might be Philharmagic. It just feels so Disney when I'm in there. None of the shows have much of a wait which is nice.

    crowds on MLK Day

    MLK Holiday Monday 1/20 will see higher crowds than a typical Monday of course but everything is doable at all parks. The whole weekend will have decent crowds but compared to Christmas and Spring break its not that bad. Middle to late January has seen an uptick in crowds the last few years...

    MK Christmas decorations date?

    So it looks like we will be at MK Sat 11/16. I'm reading that the park should be close to if not fully decorated for Christmas by then. Can someone verify that? We're so excited!
