    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Tuesday March 29: We had a fantastic day at Epcot though MK ended up being more packed than I’ve ever seen it. I was having trouble with our tickets, I had confirmed reservations but when I went to book VQ for Guardians it said we didn’t have tickets to preselect our group before 7am. I knew...

    I repeated it back to her and said “is this right?” And she confirmed it was. So I walked away without buying hopper. Thanks for confirming. I will figure out something tomorrow at epcot guest services.

    I was at guest services at Disney springs to add hoppers. They told me I cannot book any genie + for my second park I’m hopping to until I have checked into that park. So we usually do a pool break and then I do genie + stacking when we go back to our park (when doing one park days). But if I...

    Mini golf booked up reservations

    We never booked reservations. We showed up to winter wonderland at 12:15 on a Tuesday and we’re able to start on the summer side right away.

    Tron to Begin Soft Openings via VQ from Mar 20 - April 2, 2023*

    Does the $ LL fill up fast? How would I do that if I’m hopping to MK? We have epcot, MK then AK days in order but plan to hop. I’m not sure if I should buy LL for when we hop or wait for MK to VQ. I also see a lot of VQ being called hours earlier than expected, do the $LL get called early? Are...

    Mini golf booked up reservations

    I asked for fantasia and she said booked, then I asked for winter summerland and she said that was booked as well. It was 30min phone call while I waited for her to look them up so I am going to be bummed if I have to keep calling. I wish it could be online like dining.

    Genie+ during Spring Break Crowds

    Last spring break I had a great experience with genie+ at MK and HS. We did rope drop plus breaks. We stacked like you, but I would try to get our last booked ride to be when we would return for the evening so I could start booking again when we scanned onto that experience. Will that technique...

    Mini golf booked up reservations

    I got mini golf vouchers and I tried to make reservations a week out but she said it was completely booked out. She said we could show up and waitlist but from what I have seen it can be a very long wait. Do I just keep calling? I’m mad I didn’t call earlier but I didn’t expect it to be so hard...

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    We are having our first stay at Pop. We decided to stay a night earlier than originally planned. Our main hotel is Coronado but they didn’t have room to add days so we chose pop split stay. Is there on thing we should see or do that is special to Pop? Also, if we are rope dropping epcot and...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    You can get out of it by checking into your most recently booked ride. So if you book something that’s open soon after booking then that let’s you out. That’s why bc of the rolling time slot openings it will probably be a ride in low demand. For example I looked at the app just now. It’s 1pm and...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    The rules for genie+ are that you can make a booking every 2 hours or after you tapped into your most recently booked ride. So we would book something like this: 7am book splash for 10:30am 10:25am tap into splash and book peter Pan for 4-5pm 12:25pm book space for 5-6pm take our break 2:25...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Sure! We got there first thing. We went to our bus stop at Coronado around 6:30am. Shortly after a bus came. It was not listed in the bus times in the app. Actually 2 of the three days we were one of the very first in the park because the buses came before they would be listed. At 7am I got a...

    Is it realistically possible to Cluster G+/LL in the AM?

    I would buy ILL for 7dmt and then rope drop Peter Pan. We were at the very very front (like #10) to tap into the park and walked on 7dmt at rope drop. By the time we got off and my child used the bathroom 😒 the line was already 60min around 8:50. People were swarming it. We were able to get a...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Overall we had a very good trip. I wrote a little bit about how genie worked for us after day 1 and overall it went very well after I got used to it. I never paid attention to any of the genie suggestions. I would absolutely pay to use genie again especially with these crowds. We never waited in...

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    My quick review… I love the tower and bridges addition. It makes it feel much more Disney to me than before. It’s very alive at night and I love the atmosphere. The restaurant additions have been an improvement. Rix…it was awful. I really wish they would completely redo the restaurant. We...

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    We have been getting on at casitas first thing in the mornings and afternoons. It’s never been so full that they skipped the tower. I actually really like the way the tower bus stop is set up because they have stations where you wait for each park’s bus.

    Adding the second half of the day on to this after a long pool break. We got TOT, RnR (for half the party) and Toystory mania (for the other half) then Alien SS. We waited standby for Toy Story Mania (10min around 8:30am), Star Tours (no standby wait around 6pm) and a Mickey and Minnie RR (25...

    We tried to get to rotr for rope drop. We would have done awesome. We were first in our line to tap, but it was down. I reluctantly checked for a ILL around 7:50am after riding smugglers run. I found one for 8:30am and it was quickly converted to an anytime pass. We rode right as it came online...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Update for Coronado And first day of MK today. We utilized genie + and ILL. Coronado- we haven’t stayed since the tower was built. I can go more in depth later on the Coronado forum but I would say building the tower is a huge plus. It feels much more alive, reminds me of boardwalk. Lots of...
