    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Hopping is still at 2. I think folks that got a boarding pass in HS as their second (hopped to) park had already tapped in at Hollywood Studios after 2. It is just unusual because before this week, all the 1 pm boarding groups were taken before hopping folks could get one. Now, the afternoon...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    I’d say at least 4 per day. That was our burn on vacation (not at Disney).

    August 2021: Florida has more new Covid cases than ever before

    Without trying to sound too morbid, it generally takes time to die from Covid. Weeks or a month(s) in the hospital. Hospital metrics are the number to watch in my view. Not only because it tells you how many ppl are really really sick, but also tells you that ppl with other problems will have...

    Let's talk about my trip from 7/10 - 7/17 with a group of 9!

    Great trip report! Love the way you have this organized! I have a late Oga reservation on my trip - good to hear skyliner was still running. I wondered about that!

    Happily Ever After viewing & ECV, autism, other sensory needs, severe ADHD

    We have a son with autism and like you no amount of accommodation would make the hub crowds palatable. We watched HEA from the splash play area close to dumbo. There were maybe 5 other people there ( can’t see projections at all really). The fireworks and music were still amazing and it was so...

    Universal Express Pass Thanksgiving Weekend

    We do thanksgiving week for the last 3years. Last year was the busiest by far and it got busier as the week went on. It’s not disney at thanksgiving busy, but it is crowded. If you are going without express pass, the best day is either Monday before, or thanksgiving day morning. Thanksgiving...

    UO for Xmas Week- First Trip, Looking for tips

    HRH has a little grab and go in the lowest level called emack & bolios. They have premade breakfast sandwiches/bagels etc. we usually get protein bars etc and eat those in the room, have a snack at 9, then have an early lunch. Early entry is a good time to do the wand experience. Definitely...

    Eating at Universal vs. Disney

    During thanksgiving week, we walked up to confisco, cowfish, toothsome, and NBC with no wait. That is pretty magical!

    Which "value" hotel at Universal for one night?

    For just one short night I would do aventura. The check in at cb is long and the hotel is huge. Aventura is, at least, small. The food court there is terrific too.

    First timer priority seating question

    In summer we were able to have our hotel concierge call ahead and get us a table

    Thanksgiving Day Hotel dinner / buffet options

    We went to mythos on thanksgiving day in 2016. To my surprise there was nothing, not even a special turkey sandwich! So my only advice is, if you want thanksgiving food, stick to the hotels.

    Do you get that magical feeling at Uni?

    I think the above poster is right about being onsite. If you treat uni as an amusement park diversion from your Disney vacation (aka going one day from your Disney hotel) then no, you won't get the allure. Stay onsite for 3 plus nights at a hotel with express and you will get it.

    If I can’t ride Disney’s Star Tours, what can’t I ride at Universal

    Worst of the lot are simpsons and forbidden journey I think. I love both but they make me woozy. I can't bear star tours (something about how hot it is, plus the way it moves) and I'm not particularly prone to motion sickness.

    Being asked to show scars at security... Thoughts?

    Security is sometimes a hassle. I'm okay with that. It Would be naive to deny that Disney is a rich target for people bent on inflicting terror. Someone asking (not demanding by the way) to see knees is not that big of a deal.

    Being asked to show scars at security... Thoughts?

    Well I am on the minority, but no this does not bother me. You can always ask for a private room or an agent of the same gender if it feels immodest.

    Disney & Universal Split Stay November

    Yes that is exactly what I would do. Hard rock from time to time does a gospel brunch I think - that might be a great Sunday morning finale!

    Disney & Universal Split Stay November

    I have done 2 split trips. I prefer to end at universal. It is so much less hectic and the express pass is a dream. I would have difficulty transitioning back to Disney during such a crowded time after not having to do busses/having express pass.

    My UO, DC, AQ, & KSC Pre-trip report

    We stayed at the spring hill for 3 nights and loved it. The hotel included 1x use daily express pass for sea world rollercoasters which was a big plus for us. There is a TGIF and 2-3 fast food restaurants in the parking lot, and an uber to Dave and busters was 6 bucks. We walked to sea...
