    Hagrid’s EE Timeline - Busy Day

    FWIW, we got in line at 8:45pm tonight and our actual wait was 58 minutes versus a posted wait of 120. We used a child swap -- yes, our toddler stayed up the whole time and handled it like a champ -- and our swap riders got off at about 9:55pm, at which time there were maybe 50 people left in...

    Aulani must do’s

    I second this. The North Shore is a completely different experience than Ko Olina and the Honolulu area. We went to both Kauai and Oahu, and the North Shore of Oahu is much more like Kauai. We really enjoyed that, though I understand that it's probably quite different in the winter when the surf...

    Early Entry Rope Drop for ROTR

    On our last two DHS mornings, ROTR was down for the first few hours of the day. I appreciate that morning is still the best time to do ROTR on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but I wouldn't otherwise plan to do ROTR in the morning. It's just too risky and you lose your shot to be near the front of...

    No Park/Flex Day recommendations?

    We've done a couple of no-park trips and the adults other than me always finish those trips suggesting that no-park Disney trips become the new normal! Some of this depends on where you're staying. For example, getting nachos at Capt. Cook's at the Polynesian and watching Happily Ever After...

    Frontier Airlines

    We had this happen on a Florida trip. A week out, Frontier e-mailed that they had "changed the time" of our flight. I was bummed by that headline but figured it meant we'd either need to leave for the airport earlier or lose a few hours in Florida on our arrival day. Well, Frontier had...

    BW Carousel Coffee Refillable Mug use?

    Very interesting. The guy at the pool bar did refill our mugs once, but (1) he told us that the pool bar wasn't included in the mug program, and (2) they only had Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and one other thing (lemonade?).

    BW Carousel Coffee Refillable Mug use?

    Did they have soda and tea there too? Or was it just coffee? I didn't see this.

    BW Carousel Coffee Refillable Mug use?

    We were just there a couple of weeks ago. Carousel Coffee does not participate in the refillable mug program. The only spot at the Boardwalk for that is the Boardwalk Deli on the boardwalk itself. Open 7am-10pm and has brewed coffee, three types of tea, and a soda fountain. We were surprised...

    Critique my dining choices please!

    Haven't been back to TH post-COVID, but I second everything here re Boma. We all love it. My daughter just celebrated her ninth birthday there on request and probably ate five plates/bowls of food. She doesn't have a huge appetite but their food is just that good and unique. Lovely atmosphere...

    Everything Virtual Queue - Please Read Posts 1 and 2

    It can stay open like that...but when we were there week before last, Tron never stayed open more than 10 minutes at the 1pm drop. Clearly still varies a great deal week to week.

    Everything Virtual Queue - Please Read Posts 1 and 2

    It's a similar experience to Flight of Passage for me. We've had rider swap LLs for FOP where you walk straight to the boarding room. That's...kind of a bummer. The queue is incredible and immersive, and it does a tremendous job of setting the scene while transporting you out of Florida and to...

    I had the joy of two rides on Thursday. The first one was in boarding group 2 and tap to board was maybe 8 minutes. We got called at 8:45am (during morning EMH) and tapped around 9:20am. Crazy fast. The second one was via LL (a child swap ride) around 11am and tap to board was maybe 25 minutes...

    Just had our first experience with the Tron virtual queue, and it was no joke! My wife and I were both trying right at 6:00 and all of the spots were filled within 2 seconds! *We struck out, but we'll channel our inner Scarlett O'Hara and give it another shot tomorrow.

    Disney Vacation just for the resorts

    We've done this twice and absolutely loved it both times. During those trips, we were a family of four (we've since added a fifth), and our girls loved it both times. They could probably swim in a pool for 12 hours and call it a great day, but we sprinkled in a few fun meals, watching nighttime...

    UK Tickets for US Residents - Best Vendors

    I'm not familiar with that site, so unfortunately I don't know. I do know that when I first attempted to purchase UK-based tickets back in 2018, all of the websites rejected my purchased as my credit card has a non-UK (US) address. If that's not a problem with the site you mention, go for it!

    UK Tickets for US Residents - Best Vendors

    We used our 14-day Magic Tickets in November 2022 without problem. Purchasing them remains the big hurdle -- I had a UK-based friend purchase and bring with her when she came back stateside to visit her family last summer -- but the actual use of the tickets continue to go off without a hitch.

    UK Tickets for US Residents - Best Vendors

    Did everything work out for us? Yes! But are USA residents allowed to purchase UK tickets? No. Huh? Turns out, you need to be a UK resident to purchase the tickets, but anyone can then use the tickets without regard to residency. So, we made it work by having a UK-based friend purchase the...

    Can’t modify resort online have to call

    I've been trying to add a day to my November trip all day. No dice. I used the modify radial button a few days ago, so I suspect that the modify button is having a glitchy moment. Bummer.

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I did this today and it worked for me, too. I can confirm that mperks says you'll need to wait two hours for the ten $5 off coupons to load to your account and that's no joke: they didn't appear until exactly two hours later. They're good for something like 40 days.

    Refillable Mugs = Still worth it ?

    I find the mugs to be luxurious, and I don't want to have five different 12-packs in my room. Thus, as long as the trip is more than a couple of days -- coming from Michigan, every trip is more than a couple of days -- the mugs are a nice addition to the trip. Now, what I'd really like to see...
