    What year is it?? | Pre-Pre Planning

    Since there is so much uncertainty in the world right now, this pre-trip planning doesn't have a set date or even range of dates. It's going to start off moreso in the brainstorming stage and likely stay that way until things level out. At least some of the background work will be done ahead...

    Crowds: My observations of MNSSHP vs Evening EMH

    The fireworks last night was mental, though. There were very few cast members directing people, no avenues of escape, and it was downright dangerous. I've never had that experience at Magic Kingdom fireworks before where I felt like you couldn't get out. And we were near the edge! They usually...

    APs and Resort guests can now upgrade their magicband

    It allows me to add the upgraded magic bands to my cart, but. when I check out, it tells me there's an error. I go back and add the same bands to the cart again, and I keep running into the same problem. This magic band system is so broken.

    Trips Based Around School Vacations

    I work at a school (and summer school), so a lot of our vacations are based around when school isn't in session. We have a trip coming up at the end of August. Our next trip won't be for a while, but I'm curious about which weeks you think are the best time to go and why! Christmas Break - A...

    *** The Official August 2019 thread ***

    Since Thursday will be our Fastpass day, I've been checking in on each park's hours that are listed on the Disney website. I noticed one of the parks hours were extended from the last time I looked! Does anyone know if they'll continue to change? And, if so, when are they typically 'set in...

    Will this trip get me to become a DVC member?!? August '19 WDW PTR. Updated 06/16

    You guys are headed there around the same time we are. I hope you have a wonderful time. As far as Epcot quick service, I really enjoyed the Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie in France. You can also get really good sandwiches. I also enjoyed the crepe place, but that's more for dessert. My...

    Disney Bus Transportation: Caribbean Beach vs. Port Orleans Riverside

    I've been reading through the threads here, and I haven't found an answer to all my questions, so I'm hoping one of you might be able to give me your opinions. We've previously stayed at French Quarter, Riverside, and the Contemporary (due to overbooking and being transferred there). I...

    Too Excited to Sleep...until August? Pre-Trip Report Aug '19

    Yeah, we saved and saved to be able to afford Royal Pacific and found a few deals. Next time, I doubt we'll be able to afford it. I hope you have so much fun at AKL!! That sounds amazing. It looks like one of the best hotels to stay at.

    Whoohoo, a deal! This is an update about the Universal part of our trip. They were having a deal on tickets. Buy two and get three days three. We snatched those right up because, seriously, what a deal! Now, we don't even have to worry about if our plane gets delayed on the 17th. We can go...

    You definitely should! The Hagrid ride sounds like it's going to amazing. Do you rent DVC points through your travel agent for the deluxe, or do they just lower the price? We haven't used a travel agent, yet, so I'm always interested to know how they're different. Hope you also enjoy your...

    Preliminary Plans Why isn't it August, yet? These plans will likely change, but here's what we're thinking so far. Milo is trying to be "laid-back" this time, but we'll see. haha The hours are currently what's up on the Disney website, but I could see that changing as we get closer...

    August 17-25, but Disney starting on the 19th! Awesome! I keep hearing such good things about it. I was skeptical when they originally proposed it, but Pandora looks so amazing.

    MORE FOOD It's all I keep seeing on my Pinterest, so preliminary daily plans are going to have to wait. Feel free to chime in with some of your favorites, as well. We're probably not going to try ALL of these, but it's nice to list and dream about options! Milo Milo has very simple...

    Hats and glasses on thrill rides

    I wear a sports strap on my glasses for all rides. I don't like to take the chance of losing them. It also helps my hair is long enough to be in a ponytail, so the sports strap will also be stopped by that. My wife tucks her hat into a backpack for most rides, or she sits on it if she...

    FOP vs Harry Potter in terms of motion sickness?

    I haven't ridden FOP, but I find, for FJ, that taking meclizine (non-drowsy motion sickness pill) an hour before riding, it keeps me from feeling sick. I plan on doing this for FOP just in case, so perhaps you could present that as an option to your husband?

    Public affection

    This is definitely a late reply, but my wife and I are so comfortable at Disney. We're not huge into public PDA, mostly because we live in a somewhat conservative area, but we don't usually feel awkward in the slightest at Disney. We've held hands and given each other a quick kiss. When we...

    ALL THE NEW THINGS! And one Bummer. We haven't been in a few years, so I am getting pumped just looking at all of the new attractions and experiences that are going to be offered at all parks while we are there! This is mainly just a post of me geeking out and getting excited all over...

    Is SWGE impacting your trip? Discuss your plans here!

    It doesn't super impact our trip since we will be there August 19-25, and we can't/won't change it. (I don't think I'd be able to handle the crowds, anyways. And I am totally okay with waiting a bit before going due to that fact.) However, I had a question! Do you think the days before it...
