    Motion Sickness questions

    Same as most of the other replies... FoP seems so similar to Soarin' that it's okay for me. **I would ask the CM if you can sit in the seat for FoP that will be more toward the center of the screen.** I haven't asked before but I can really tell the difference in motion sickness queasiness if I...

    Magic Bands Upgrade

    We haven't had this issue; the premium ones we paid for last trip were the ones we received. Currently have a trip planned for April and I'm curious to see that the MagicBand selection notes they will be available for pickup. Anyone know why the bands aren't being shipped? (I know it's not a...

    Just returned from Newport bay- 5 days. Very disappointed

    Like some of the others, I'm sorry for your bad experiences. I also know it never helps that the bad experiences tend to stick out more to us, especially once they start to snowball. I also agree with some others that DLP is not like the US parks but I also think DLP has merit on its own and...

    Star Tours question

    I've said it before, I'll say it again: I love this board! I had NO idea there were multiple versions. But it makes sense now. Rode original probably more than 100 times (200 maybe?) and at 3 different parks; didn't ride re-do right away since I didn't do enclosed spaces for a long time...

    *****Official April 2020 thread*****

    End of April trip planned, April 22-May 3. AKL this time. :-) Our first return to FQ was in Sept and we did Halloween Party and dressed up; will do Villains AH this time, debating about dressing up. (Don't want it to feel too much like a repeat!)

    Discomforting “security checks”

    We've had "security" checks even when not declining housekeeping, one was even a supposed maintenance issue. (The poor guy clearly wasn't maintenance and even said he'd have to come back with a part [if you came just to do that one thing, why didn't you bring the part?], and after he changed it...

    Discomforting “security checks”

    Scout, I read in another thread where a guest timed security's visit--both while the guest and her family were in the room and on another day when they were out, but the guest was on the grounds and watched them enter their room. It was easily under a minute when the room was occupied and over 3...

    January 8-11, 2020 - am I crazy?

    Here to 10000% talk you into it!! I did the same thing; booked a couple of days ago (using miles so I paid 11 bucks) to leave Friday night the 10th (land after 11), hit DL all day Saturday and Sunday and fly home Monday morning. (If you know a cast member who has a spot left, the CM preview of...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    Had housekeeping and food court hiccups in our last trip (9/18-9/29), but otherwise this is still our favorite resort. Most days, Mousekeeping as very good; one day was even phenomenal. But one day was skipped entirely and 2 days were very lackluster. (Which isn't ideal for tipping!) We...

    Yep. And typically in near-constant use.

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    I also got really annoyed with all of the smoke this last trip. I love the frog fountain, too; being in building 1 with garden view this trip had us looking out over the non-working but very smoker-friendly fountain in that courtyard.

    Port Orleans FQ Best Buildings

    4 is good proximity to food court and buses; 4, 6 or 7 are good if you're planning walks to POR; 2 and 5 are good for pool; 3 is also good for food court and buses. 1-3 are the east side of the resort, 4-7 are the west side. We've stayed in 7 with a courtyard view and currently in 1 with a...

    Magical Express Luggage Tags

    It depends on when you order/reserve Magical Express. If you reserve pretty far in advance it's typically 2-4 weeks before your flight. If you reserve close to your trip (ahem, my DH this time) they will rush ship them to you in a matter of days.

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

    Same. We tried AH for the first time (MK & AK) last trip and now DH schedules trips around AH events (we did 3 AH this trip plus MNSSHP). Lol... we were soooo close to being stuck on Splash as well!! We'd left our 3rd ride on BTMRR and paused to decide about getting on Splash. 5 minutes later...

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

    We were already in the park today for a couple of hours before AH, so no update on time they let in today. But AH tonight was far less crowded than last Thursday. (They also let us in at 630 last week; maybe they decide entry time by number of tickets sold?)

    Wet rides - how wet?

    We got fairly wet last week on Splash, but the log in front of us got soaked. (DH actually declined it tonight for AH because he didn't want to get that wet.) And note, a lot of water on this one comes after the drops... not necessarily at the bottom.of the drop where you expect it--but after...
