    Why are Hotels the 2nd Week of March so Expensive?

    I’ve started looking for hotels around Disneyland for the week of March 11th - 15th and all the hotels that week are much more expensive. The following week the price drops back down. Any idea why? Below is an example:

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    We didn’t really look at locations. There were a couple times we had two rides reserved for the same reservation window (say 7:00 - 8:00), we just made sure to hit the first one at 6:55 to give us enough time to get to the second one. I can see where that might be a problem though if you have...

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    We returned from our trip this week and just wanted to give my experiences with G+ and purchasing LL. I was a huge spreadsheet planner in the FP days and the new system had me super nervous. Overall, we had a great experience and even though I prefer the FP system because you can plan well in...

    *The Official VILLAS AT DISNEY'S GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Owners & Lovers Group*

    Dumb question, but we are staying in a deluxe studio and I read that there is a laundry room on the 4th floor which is free to use. Do they have detergent/fabric softener available too or do we need to bring some?

    Thank you! We were watching a GF video on YouTube that said there was bus transportation to Epcot, which I wasn’t aware of… glad we didn’t take their word for it!

    Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Information & Questions + Construction Updates

    Hi everyone - my family will be checking in to the GF next week, and I have a transportation question. Can anyone tell me the differences in travel times from the GF to Epcot for the monorail vs the bus? I would prefer the monorail, but I know you you have to wait a few stops until you get the...

    5/30 Extended Evening Hours at Epcot

    For anyone that was at the extended evening hours last night at Epcot, I was curious as to the wait times for the rides were during the two hours now that Guardians is up and running? The wait times I saw on the app looked longer than expected for Test Track, Remy, Soarin’… all 30+ minutes, but...

    Guardians plan?

    Has anything been said yet if Guardians will be available to ride during the extended night hours for deluxe resort guests? If so, would you still need a ILL or VQ for those hours?

    brand new DW Hollywood Brown Derby menu reviews?

    We looked at all the menus a few months ago and saw they had the burger - made our reservations today and looked at the menus again and saw the burger is no longer there. My daughter will not eat anything on the current menu. So disappointed - really wanted to try the cobb salad.

    Moonlight Magic is BACK!

    Does anyone know if Moonlight Magic hours are available for anyone that is renting DVC points and has a stay scheduled during a Moonlight Magic event? I wasn’t sure if renters would qualify - I know in the app our reservation has us listed as using DVC points, so I wasn’t sure if the app would...

    I have a question for the group. New to Genie+ and need help planning a day. Planning for my family of 4 on our Saturday June 18th park day. We want to go to both HS and AK on that day with parkhoppers. Our must do rides are Flight of Passage at AK and Rise of the Resistance at HS. We have...

    We will be there in June and yesterday we got the email notifying us of the construction during our stay. I'm sure others got it as well.

    Figment Popcorn Bucket Insanity

    That was my hat - I think it was a painters hat too. Very 80's. Figment had stolen it off my head and I had to struggle to get it back.

    Best Burger on Disney Property?

    I haven't had a lot of the recommendations here, but I had an excellent burger at The Fountain at the Dolphin Hotel if your near there. It's an old school diner theme.

    Thank you! Those pics look awesome. Last time we were at Disney we ate at Narcoossee's and watched from there, so I was hoping we could find a good spot on the sand between the GF and Poly.

    Figment Popcorn Bucket Insanity

    I’m just happy to see Figment getting some shine. He was always my favorite (below is from around '84 or '85). I would love to snag a bucket, but I couldn’t justify that type of wait.

    Is there anyone super excited about their upcoming trip?

    We are heading out in June, and my excitement level is an 8 out of 10. I'm still a bit nervous about how to use the new Genie system as this will be our first trip with it. I'm a big planner and not having restaurants locked in by now and not being able to book fp's in advance is really...
