    Johnny Depp on POTC ride?

    Yes, just saw that. So funny that it would happen just a few weeks after I posted this question!

    Johnny Depp on POTC ride?

    Haha, that would be sure to freak out a few people!

    Is anyone else crazy and love it?

    I had a colour-coded table of our schedule and printed out a 50 page planning document. Oops, I guess that sounds pretty crazy, haha. But I was so overwhelmed with the whole planning process and was the only one in our party of 8 who took on the organizing role, so it felt useful to me. Our trip...

    "Your connection is not secure"

    I keep getting a message on my phone and laptop saying that the DIS site connection is not secure, something that never used to happen. Just wondering if any certificates or permissions have changed lately?

    Worst ride to get stuck on?

    We got stuck a few times, but never in as bad a spot as some others on this thread. The most annoying one was HM, because the ride stopped 3 times while we were on it. First before we even loaded into the buggies, we stood there for 15 min as people piled into the funnel behind us. Then twice on...

    Touring Plans frustration

    I found that using the Evaluate feature was more helpful than Optimize, because the latter often had us going all over the place or not using our FPs. You can manually move steps around so that things align with the times you'd like them to be. Perhaps try removing a few attractions that aren't...

    UH OH!! WHO DID NOT GET OUT!!

    We're expecting a pile of snow here, too. Just got back the other day so it didn't affect our travel plans, but March is always a bad time for end of season storms. I'd rather still be is Disney and missing this one, haha.

    All New Atlantic Canada Thread....

    Just back from our trip and boy was it nice to have the warm weather! Temps ranged from 25-29. I think I miss the weather as much as being in the Disney bubble. Especially since a nor'easter is due to hit us later today. *sigh*

    Magicband 2 at Resorts

    That makes sense! I found the new bands a bit more uncomfortable than the old ones so wasn't sure if everyone just figured they'd be a better fit if worn on the wrist.

    Test Track or Soarin 1st at Rope Drop?

    Last week when we were at Epcot, the TT line increased in length much more quickly than Soarin'. We'd eaten PPO at GG so chose Soarin' first, but regretted it because by the time we headed over to TT the lines were over 40min (compared to 20 at S'). Perhaps it varies from day to day though.

    Magicband 2 at Resorts

    I'm a little confused about why everyone is so wanting the 2.0 bands? I found the 1.0s fit my kids' wrists better and we found no advantage to the 2.0s. Why worry about such a small detail? I know that you can get other gadgets for the pop outs but otherwise they're just bigger.

    Ponchos instead of raincoats?

    Of course, we hummed and hawed about whether to buy ponchos before we left for Disney, but in the end it never rained once. We figured we'd buy ponchos in the parks if needed but are glad the weather was lovely instead. There were days when a little rain might have been a nice reprieve from the...

    How will the crowds be?

    It's true. Even with big crowds it felt manageable. We never felt overwhelmed or trapped in by too many people. If you have FPs booked and a rough plan to follow, it really helps. Without that, I think long wait times would just limit what you can see and do, but you just have to be realistic in...

    First Week of March or May?

    We were just there in early March and the weather was really beautiful. Being before spring break means the crowds were much more manageable. No bugs, the start of the F&G Festival, and perfect weather make it a great time of year to be in Disney. Also, if you're from someplace cold, it's nice...

    How will the crowds be?

    Yup, we were there last week, too. All the crowd calendars suggested it would be moderate crowds but it sure felt way higher than that!

    Help! Weather sites contradict each other big time

    It's true, those forecasts are totally unreliable and change all the time. I'd looked at the forecast a couple days before leaving last week for Orlando and it was calling for 90% chance of rain one day, but 5 hours later it had changed to 10% chance of rain. It ended up not raining at all the...

    Johnny Depp on POTC ride?

    I read recently that Johnny Depp would at times don a Jack Sparrow costume and take part in POTC as part of the characters when he happened to be in WDW. Maybe this was years ago or maybe just a rumour. Does anyone know if there is any truth to it? Just curious.

    Top 3 worst attractions at MK

    We've only been to WDW once so haven't had a chance to try out all attractions (e.g. Stitch was closed that week), but here were our least favourite attractions at MK: - Speedway - Buzz Lightyear - Speedway This is from the perspective of the adults, so I'm sure that the kids in our family...

    **Official March 2017 Thread**

    Such a good idea. Being is Disney filled us with such joy, we had such a wonderful time, we would definitely benefit from bringing more of that into our days. You're so lucky to know you're going back next year!
