    Everything Park Hopping - Please Read Post 1

    an hour should cover you in most circumstances, but be prepared for a moderate wait and a long walk. We did this hop in August, waited about 10-15 minutes for a bus, then sat on the bus a while (maybe a shift change?), then had to walk from the absolute farthest bus stop to HS gates along baking...

    Disney+ Subscriber Discount Coming January 3, 2024

    Most people are reporting that they would have saved money paying as they went rather than getting the dining plan. It would not be cost effective if you are staying CL.

    Waiting for MNSSHP 2024 Announcements

    Does anyone know when they announced dates last year? It looks like people knew dates by Mayin previous threads, but I am hoping for info earlier. I am assuming August parties will be Tuesdays and Fridays, but unsure if they will start earlier than ever on Aug 9 or wait until Aug 16. Summer...

    Everything Genie, Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane - Please Read Posts 1-7

    unless something has changed recently, LLs are booked for individuals, not groups. You can select some or all individuals for each ride. If there is a ride you don’t want to do, you can skip booking a LL for yourself. If you do book a LL and don’t go,you can cancel, which lets you book another LL.

    VIP tour pricing

    Has anyone called to get the price for fall dates? Weekends vs weekdays? We are planning for a january trip and want to see if a VIP tour would be in budget. They won’t give us a price yet when we called.

    Last minute trip- resort help- POR/Dolphin

    Dolphin for sure if you will be going to Epcot and HS those days. Walking back from Epcot fireworks is infinitely better than buses in the crowd. We never walked to HS from Dolphin, but the boat drops you off way closer than buses. (The skyliner station is between the boat dock/entrance and the...

    Reasonable expectations

    We have taken my daughter at ages 4, 5, 7, and 10, with the last two trips in August. Always with three adults like you will have. If you are staying at Contemporary, definitely spring for the park hoppers and hop over to MK if you are feeling lively after the afternoon rain. If you are going in...

    What is with the Horrible Wait times???

    Wait times are so bad today that Canada Far and Wide is showing upon the attractions map (0 minute wait), and Walt Disney Presents is showing a 20-minute wait. Wow. How did Disney not anticipate these crowds and extend park hours!

    Are VIP tours hard to book?

    How much was the price increase? (or what is the new range of hourly rates?)

    Do you have to use mobile ordering for all restaurants or can you just go and order in person?

    You don’t have to mobile order, but it will save you time if you can use it. We walked up to Pinnochio for lunch and got in the line to order at the counter. It was moving slowly, so I opened the app. I was able to get an immediate order window and placed out order while standing in the line. We...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Do you think five fit comfortably in the remodeled rooms? We would be two adults and three kids. Someone on the Beach Club boards said the five person room there is really cramped with all the beds open.

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    Can anyone recommend a maximum size for the pull down bed? If we do five people in one room, the child sleeping on that bed is currently 56” tall (and growing fast), and I am worried it will be too short or narrow.

    When did March 2022 park reservations start becoming limited?

    Glad you can still get them at the old price! I suggest making park pass reservations at MK and HS for every day of your trip, and then update them when you know your real schedule. We went on a down week in late August, and park passes for MK were gone three weeks before the trip. 🤷‍♀️

    Lion King show at AK and Frozen sing-along at HS

    We saw Frozen twice in late August standby. The theatre holds 1000, and there was a cast radio call that there were 546 seats left about 10 minutes before the 11 am show. The second time we went was 3:00, and the theater was almost full when the show started. We walked right into the air...

    No Rope Drop - Epcot - At 7am Frozen or Remy LL first?

    Remy LL usually runs our before Frozen. We were there in a lower crowd time (late August) and were able to stack both for an evening. I doubt that would be possible in a higher crowd season.

    Hopping from MK to HS where is the bus?

    Check the signs at the bus depot. Last month, it was in the second row toward the end.

    Meeting Mickey and Minnie at RD?

    The line builds before park open. I pulled G+ right at 7 am on our late August trip, and got a 9:40 G+ time. Posted wait was 40-60 minutes; no idea what real wait was, but there were visible lines. If you will be arriving for early entry, I would recommend snagging something else for 9:00 to...

    Favorite Shoes for Disney Theme Parks

    I can’t wear my Chacos all day, so we take cheap and lightweight flip flops in our backpack. My feet were not thrilled after trekking all through Epcot in them, but we were thrilled to have dry shoes waiting in the backpack when the monsoon ended. Carrying Chacos all week would be too hard on my...

    Dolphin vs Yacht Club

    From the Dolphin lobby, the walk to YC bus stop is less than 10 minutes, 5 if you walk fast. The bus stop is very close to the Dolphin convention center.

    Dolphin vs Yacht Club

    YC is definitely better than Dolphin in terms of accessing the parks, but I would choose Swan/Dolphin to save $200 a night. We stayed at Dolphin last month. The hotel is massive, and it is farther from Epcot. The balcony work blocks the lakefront walkway on the YC side, so walk on the Boardwalk...
