    *** Official May 2024 Thread ***

    I'll add our trip in here as well. We are going for D2 Summit so we have to leave our plans very flexible for a few of the days. We are going May 8-13, staying at the Cabins at Fort Wilderness. We are a family of 5 (2A, DD16, DS14, DS11) and DS14 is my non-cheerleader. We wanted a resort...

    Special ticketed event?

    It's the same cheer celebration party. Traditionally, party goers can't enter before the start time of the party. IIRC, it starts at 9pm.

    Would I be okay going May 6th to May 9th?

    D1 and Dance Summit (May 3-5) hotels are All Stars/Coronado/AKL. Many families opt to stay a few days later to get park time in. Also, the Dance Summit competes at Coronado. D2 summit (May 10-12) is smaller and hotels are All Star/Coronado. Families usually start arriving May 8/9 depending...

    Special ticketed event?

    Last time I went in 2022 it was at MK and we had to wait until it started at 9pm. I'm assuming HS will be the same. There are special wristbands that are given for party goers.

    Help choosing Pool day vs HS day

    We are long time MK holders as well and have been to WDW a few times. If it were me, I would upgrade my ticket to PH and do AK and HS on the same day. At HS, I would skip or at least put on the "good if we can" list: MMRR, Star Tours, SR, TSMM and Rise. Those rides are identical in DLR and...

    Hotel for New Orleans cruise

    We stayed at the Hyatt Place when we had an event at the convention center. We walked over to the mall area (maybe 5 or so minutes away) and there was a cruise ship boarding. We really liked the hotel. Very spacious with a good breakfast.

    MEP LL no longer allowed on Non-LL attractions

    That's no fun. We used to ride Chip and Dale because there was no way I was going to wait 75 minutes for that ride.

    2023 D2 Summit trip report 5-4 to 5-9

    I love this. We've been to D1 and D2 and it's a different beast than a normal trip. FYI, the Coronado sells out very fast so depending on when your team gets a bid, it might not even be available. It's also unfortunate that D1 got an AKL option.

    We are a party of 5 and have never had seats. We've done both reservations and walk up. We've had standing tables 2x and the bar 2x.

    Trader Sam's ADR dilemma

    We are a family of 5 and we got reservations for all of us inside so I don't think there is a 4 person max.

    Yosemite and DLR

    Curious if you are planning to spend any time in the Bay Area or just fly there to drive to Yosemite? If you aren't spending time there, you should look into flying into to Fresno (FAT) which is about 60-90 minutes to Yosemite. Regarding hotels, we've never stayed in the Valley but have...

    Baja cruise - Ensenada and Catalina questions

    yes, that sign is within the port security. Our family (DH, myself, DD15, DS12, DS10) was just there last month. We walked to the town, about 15 minute walk, ate at the restaurant version of la guerrerense, shopped and headed out. We were there maybe 2-3 hours. We never felt nervous or...

    The Amazing Race - Season 34

    A friend was just vacationing in Puerto Vallarta and saw them filming there. I agree about the flights, we always called them "the great equalizer". It was also fun to see how later flights would end up arriving sooner due to delays from earlier flights. I am enjoying this season more than...

    What inspired your children's names?

    Wine, a skier, 2Fast2Furious. We have a very long german last name so their names had to be short and sweet.
