    So it's your fault that I didn't get a lanyard as a souvenir? :stir::rolleyes1:duck::teeth:

    I'm not sure when it was changed, but they are using wrist bands instead of lanyards now, so that makes it harder to pass to someone else. I would think that they would use them for the Villains events as well.

    What did you do in St. Thomas

    We've been to St. Thomas three or four times and typically go to St. John for the day, but we only do that when we have a full day in port. To get to St. John without booking a ship excursion you take a taxi to Red Hook (20 minutes) and then a ferry to St. John (another 20 minutes, but you could...

    I don't recall the option to have tickets mailed, but probably wouldn't have chosen that anyway. We just went to Guest Relations at Disney Springs to get out hard tickets and Magic Bands.

    We only had two days, plus the DAH tickets.

    All of the carts that we passed had the sodas on ice, but we probably didn't see all of them. We weren't looking for food, so Casey's may have been opened and we just didn't notice it. Hopefully someone can confirm.

    We aren’t big dessert people so the dessert party wasn’t a good option for us, so we got to the hub area at about 7:45 (after 7DMT) and found a spot that was at on the right hand side when facing the castle, right at the corner of the pathway heading back towards the Plaza restaurant and...

    None of the QS places were open. As far as I know, the Emporium was the only place open besides the attractions and carts.

    DAH was our only ticket that day, and also our last valid ticket overall, and we had no issues with FPS.

    I did Splash mountain in case we got soaked :D at 6, figuring we would be in the park by 6:30 based on reports from the previous two or three events, 7DMT at 7, and then PP at 9:30 because we wanted to see HEA (first time). It worked out great!

    Pin Trading for the first time this trip - lanyard?

    I am a rookie :D My first time trading was last week. I’m 62 and was a bit nervous on the first trade but the cast member was great! She even went into the back of the building and came out with a special Goofy pin (I am focusing on Goofy and Grumpy) as pixie dust! The cast members with pin...

    Hey Pin Traders

    I just started with pins on our trip to WDW last week. It was fun tracking down pins at the parks and Disney springs! I even found a cast member with pins at the Disney store at the airport. I am trying to focus on Goofy and Grumpy, but was distracted by some others :D

    FP for Flight of Passage

    Keep trying. Especially the night before and early in the morning. We had a breakfast reservation onthe day we were at AK and went to Pandora as soon as we ate and we rode FOP and were off before 9:00, so if you are an early riser it is possible to get on with a FP, too.

    Lyft or Uber??

    We ended up using Lyft. I signed my wife up for a new account and we had discounts for the first 10 rides. You can use the RideGuru app to compare Lyft, Uber and a few other services.

    **Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    One thing that I noticed on 4/11 was that they did A Kiss Goodnight at least three times at the end of the AH event. We caught it shortly after 1am as we walked back from Tomorrowland, and then it ran again as we were coming out of the Emporium, probably around 1:15, and again as we were on the...

    **Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    We talked with a cast member at the end of the AH event on Thursday about the Villians events and she said that it was a trial run for 12 weeks, starting in June, so that would seem to indicate that there will be events in August, but that is not official, of course! :D

    OK... Now that I’ve slept and had coffee, here are more details :) Based on the past two events where folks were getting in at 6, we arrived just before 6. There were maybe 40 people lined up at that point. The cast members kept looking at their watches and they let us in precisely at 6:30. I...

    I noticed that on their site, but when we got into the park at 6:30 it was a zoo! We’ve never been to MK, so I don’t have a reference, but if that was a 2 or 3, I don’t want to be there on an 8! :)

    Thanks for the report! We’re going tonight! This will be our first time in MK. Where do you suggest we try to go for HEA? And what time should we stake out our spot?
