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

    Just wanted to share our experience from Monday. We left our rental house in Windsor Hills at 7:10am, we were parked, through bag check (stroller w/ a baby), and sitting at the tables by Rosie's Cafe by 7:40am. We had 4 people trying for boarding groups, me the one who practiced couldn't get the...

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

    Can anyone tell me where they are holding crowds at DHS before opening? I've heard people mention the Galaxy's Edge crowd or TSL crowd but are people by the Theater or further in towards the lands? We are going in a couple weeks with 4 adults and one baby. I was thinking if the bag check lines...

    WDW while expecting?

    I just got back from a trip at 7 weeks. I'm thinking it must have been the adrenaline or fresh air but I felt much better during my trip than I had been feeling at home (I live where it's very cold and haven't been outside much). It was cold when we were there so we didn't take afternoon breaks...

    DHS/Toy Story Land "Early Morning Magic" (EMM) FAQ & Discussion

    Just wanted to share our EMM experience, hearing from others really helped me decide whether to schedule it or not. We did EMM Monday 1/28, it was a sold out day. We are 2 adults so we could move quickly. We were staying at the Swan so we walked over, I don't believe the boats were running yet...

    EMH procedure

    I have heard they will look at your room key for EMHs. I'm checking into the Swan on Thursday, I received a new confirmation number Saturday that FINALLY linked to MDE. BTW for FPs if you are still before the 30 day mark call Disney. I had to call a few times to try to link the reservation but...

    Solo from MCO to Swan/Dolphin?

    I would still have her take an Uber, I wouldn't want to take a shuttle that makes multiple stops before getting to the hotel, you might save $15 or so but to me that wouldn't be worth it.

    Avis, anyone have experience?

    Avis is similar to the brands you have listed there. Avis and Budget are technically the same company. I would make sure to sign up for Avis preferred when you make your reservation. You should be able to pick your car on the app when you arrive and head straight to the garage. Even if that...

    Resort Choice - Fam of 6

    I would do 2 value rooms. Everyone gets a real bed and there's 2 bathrooms. You'll just have to decide if you put all the kids in one room or if you have your 19 yr old with you and the bf with the other kids.

    Doing Disney at 6 weeks pregnant?

    I think it just depends on how you feel and what you are comfortable with. I do believe Dinosaur has the pregnant mother warning. I will also be around six weeks and my OB gave me clearance to ride anything I wanted. She said it was so small and well protected at that point she wasn't worried...

    Is Work Laptop a Personal Item

    You should be able to bring that as a personal item. I fly quite a bit for a work and the only bags I've ever seen United measure is the rolling carry on bags, never personal items. That will fit under the seat in front of you. I'd recommend grabbing a backpack that you can put the laptop in and...

    When Do I Pay for United Baggage Fees?

    You can pay when you check in (if you check in on the app or computer 24 hours before your flight) or at the airport. When you come back from Disney, I believe you have to pay for your luggage before bringing them to RAC (if utilizing), so make sure you check in before heading to RAC and pay...

    4 Parks in 1 Day Question

    It looks like AK has EMH that morning, if you are staying on site you would want to be there for 8am RD, if you are staying offsite I'd probably start at DHS. MK is open until 11pm that night, I would probably aim to head over there closer to 7 if that's your last park so you have time to do...

    Can we please do one character meal?! A January '19 PTR! *TR Link Posted 2/12*

    Yay for magic bands! We arrive the day before you and ours just shipped, I was getting nervous haha. I've been debating the memory maker as well, I'll probably end up getting it but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    How to Maximize Park Hoppers Without Exhaustion, or does Staying in One Park Create Exhaustion?!?

    I personally love the flexibility of park hopping. We often start our day in one park, with early FP+ booked there and then hop to a different park in the evening. It allows us to customize our days and see the nightly entertainment as it works best for our schedule. I think scheduling FP+ in...

    Undercover tourists ticket warning

    I had a similar "issue" for a late January trip. My parents had an extra 6-day ticket they gave to me and I didn't notice the expiration date on it. I called Disney and they said they could only extend the expiration date (ie I paid the difference in price of a new ticket) at the gate. They were...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    Has anyone booked the Swan or Dolphin recently (last 2 weeks) been able to link their confirmation? I booked on 11/17 for a late January trip and still haven't been able to get it to link. I've called Disney and the Swan multiple times. Disney was nice enough to manually book me fastpasses but I...

    Any Holiday Flying Tips?

    I agree with others to leave extra time. If anything happens with your flight, delays, cancellations, etc. make sure you call your airline while in line for the desk at the airport. You will likely get thru quicker than everyone waiting.

    Red eye or not?

    I'd come in the night before. Red eyes leave me exhausted, there's no way I'd be functioning and having a good time in Disney the day after one.
