    Empty Nesters

    My wife and I first went by ourselves, kids all grown and gone. It's fun by yourselves and plenty to do. We bought into DVC and go once a year or so. They really cater a lot to adults to keep them coming back.

    Are VIP tours hard to book?

    They'd like a list but it's not anything you have to stick to. We gave them our must dos but plans changed during the tour. I would suggest meeting in your first park so you're not wasting time with the transfer to the park. Eat breakfast and just grab snacks during the tour, or take a break...

    Am I really already thinking about NYE in Disney?

    We skipped out after Christmas so I couldn't tell you on NYE fireworks. I like them, my wife doesn't so we skip them a lot. I think the other stuff is a lot better than crowded fireworks so don't feel too guilty, just enjoy the time as best you can. The Christmas parade is almost as good as...

    Am I really already thinking about NYE in Disney?

    So long as you can deal with this being the most crowded time of the year, then you'll have a great time. We didn't do the activities at the lodge when we were there but did visit to see the decorations and such. Just budget a lot of time and expect lines and crowds for everything. Get up early...

    Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

    We always do ours here since we're coming from Riviera. Easy and usually less of a wait. Of course, ours are always complicated but they get it taken care of for us.

    Genie+ and RideMax

    It's easy enough to get a good set of rides with G+ so I don't see the need to allow a 3rd party access to your account. Just keep refreshing and modifying and you'll get the most out of it.

    The Official Riviera Owners & Info Thread

    Just came back from our last stay at Riviera. Even with a couple days of Skyliner outage, it's still easy to get around (HS is actually quicker with the bus). I will say, room 8371 is awful. Right above the trash area and every morning we'd get the trucks backing up and beeping around 5-6am. Too...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    We are back from a week at Disney World. It was a very enjoyable trip all in all. Weather was nice for us cold blooded PNW types can't take the heat so mid 70s was perfect for us. Even the couple of 80s weren't too bad without the humidity. We had some issues with our room at Riviera as they...

    Been shorts most of the time with a jacket and hat. Night time or cooler days may warrant pants. Jacket comes off by late morning so far most days.

    Annual Pass Renewal

    The current AP cards just list a year for expiration 2023-2024 is what mine lists. They write our names on the back. Every time they ask about discounts, I show my ID and my pass with the name and date on it. Never been asked for anything beyond that. Never the mobile version. When I pay for...

    Mobile food ordering

    Mobile ordering is for quick service only. I don't think you can even order from lounges at TS restaurants. If you want a table service meal, you need to book a reservation. As far as tables around the counter service places, it's hit or miss depending on the place. You can always get a time...

    Figment bucket

    I'll check this afternoon when we're at Epcot but I see them available on the mobile order (you can always do that on your phone) and I suspect there are plenty still.

    Annual Pass Renewal

    I've had the same experience, however, when we renewed at GS this year they asked if we wanted new ones or not. Seems like they aren't mandatory now but I like having the card so I can quickly show ID and AP together.

    Annual Pass Renewal

    Picking up magnets yesterday, they were telling people that both your AP and Photo ID were needed. They may have considerations for people without ID but that is what was stated. Also, most cashiers wanted to see ID and AP when asking about a discount. Just best idea to always have both with you...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    AK today was pretty low crowds. We didn't do much as my wife can't handle many rides here and she was pretty beat from the day before but even FOP wasn't more than an hour at lunch (we had DAS so did that right after our Tusker House lunch). Navi was a longer wait (always seems that way) and we...

    Everything Early Theme Park Entry (ETPE) - Please Read Post 1

    You might check with the desk on when they start running the buses as that will give you and idea of what to expect. I think it's an hour before opening but I'm not sure (we don't rope drop much). MK they will let everyone into the hub and then check access as you head into the park further...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    We had a pop up apology too in MDE app on our MK day yesterday. I guess it was down all day. We weren't there long enough to go check it out as we wanted to rest for the HS after hours.

    For people with issues on the Magic Bands (plus or otherwise) with them coming off, I'd suggest getting some band holders from Amazon. They will slip over the end of the band and keep them from coming apart. I have some for my wife and they work wonderfully. Worked nicely for my Mickey watch as...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Epcot this morning was pretty open. Even at 3pm there were still LL+ for Guardians. Frozen and Remy were out of G+ times but everything else seemed to. Crowd level was good, except around Mexico, which is to be expected. Plenty of Figment popcorn buckets. They seemed to have found the right way...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    We are here now until the 24th. MK was not very crowded today. Had no problems with rides and the weather was perfect. Even during the parades the crowd level wasn't bad. Only stayed for lunch then back to the resort and off to the party at HS. Rides were next to nothing even at 8pm before the...
