    Is Merida still meeting at MK?

    We saw her meeting more than once last week by the Christmas Shop. I did notice she was not listed in the app, but she was there.

    Private Transport vs Uber

    That’s another good point. A sedan with a car seat is only going to seat 4 plus the driver (and that’s a tight fit depending on the ages/ sizes of the back seat passengers) so you’re already into XL territory which seats 6 BUT no guarantees on the luggage room (I’ve had rideshares show up with...

    Private Transport vs Uber

    We just used a CM owned company for transfer from MCO last Saturday. For us the deciding factors were: -we did not want to use Mears (did not want to wait for them to load a bus or go to several other resorts and did not want to chance that it would not be a bus picking us up for our return trip...

    Luckily DH is an engineer and very tech savvy. I never would think to pack a backup but I will from now on. Getting the backup up and running meant opening my phone which terrifies me, and using the laptop (I like to process and backup the day’s photos in the evening if we’re in the room...

    Sorry for the delay- my phone is done for (but DH brought an ancient backup and so we trudge forward). As promised, my EPCOT commentary. We did not rope drop- we arrived maybe 10 minutes before official park open at 9 and *just* beat the rope drop crowd for non resort guests to SE which was walk...

    Please please please give a quick update on how that went if you can. We are at HS tomorrow. Today, the pool is calling!! Hoping it was great and you had a magical day!

    I can give a quick update. We were at MK on Sunday (TP rated it crowd level 4 and I would say that was fairly accurate). The 12 pm and 3 pm parades had plenty of viewing room front row without lining up at all. Minimal waits for things like food and photopass (these are 3 ways I eyeball just how...

    We Drive You Fly

    Updating because we used the service today from MCO and BLT. Nothing but rave reviews. I received a text this morning with our driver’s name and information and a photo of the car he would pick us up in. Before our flight landed I had a text that our driver was 4 minutes away and where he would...

    We are wheels up in less than 6 hours and I think it’s finally actually setting in. We have been fortunate to visit so many times but this trip is hitting a little differently and I’m a ball of emotions (and caffeine :drinking1 and adrenaline) this morning. -Suitcases are loaded. -DH unlocked...

    I think times for Saturday pickup opened on Monday (so you’re definitely within the window to schedule for Friday, but might be helpful for anyone else playing along at home). I wasn’t sure how fast time slots fill up so I figured I’d better jump on it because I need a very specific time slot...

    I have not been able to budge any of my ADRs (and I only have 3 at this point) for my trip the 12-20th. That’s unusual at this point (a week or less out) but I’m wondering if maybe that will change once they finally push the ADR update I’ve been hearing about for a week. Happy packing!

    5 days to go (sorry for the rapid updates here) -have not packed anything additional. Waiting for the Amazon delivery guy to drop off the last two “essentials” -scheduled Instacart pickup -will resist the urge to continue adding items to my Instacart pickup -found out that my SIL and her...

    6 more days to go. By this time next week we’ll be wrapping up our first MK day, sitting down to dinner (or just finishing dinner- I’ll see where the day takes us), and deciding what we might want to do before the fireworks. - suitcases are almost completely packed. I don’t know what got into...

    10 days to go. Odds and ends we won’t need before our trip are put together on the dining room table and some have made it into suitcases/ carry-ons. Outfits decided. We don’t match, but I like to somewhat coordinate. I emphasize “somewhat” and I use the word “coordinate” loosely. I’m a...

    Wonderful!!! At this point I’m just leaning into the skid 🤣😂. Even when Disney is “not crowded,” it’s crowded so at this rate the more the merrier!!!!!

    Festival of Fantasy Parade Times

    It goes the same way each time. The performers depart from the attraction formerly known as Splash Mountain, past Country Bear Jamboree, over the bridge by Sleepy Hollow, around the hub in front of the castle, and then down Main Street toward the train station. The map attached isn’t my best...

    Festival of Fantasy Parade Times

    They can. It depends on when you're going, how busy they expect it to be, and whether or not there's a party that evening or a major holiday happening that week or so. Last year sometime in early October (I think- give or take a week), the schedule was cut to only one parade per day, at 3 p.m...

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

    In general, you would not need a LL for shows and in most cases all the LL does for shows is move you into the pre-show “holding area” a little sooner than guests without a LL. But once the theater doors open it’s every man for himself (no preferred seating given to LL holders). It is usually...

    Best Old Fashioned

    I absolutely love an old fashioned and this made me realize I’ve never had one anywhere at Disney. Loving the suggestions here!!! Edited to fix spelling/ grammar.

    I was at our local amusement park today (90 and beyond humid) and I was trying to figure out how on earth I’ve ever survived Disney in August before. It dawned on me that there is something with AC every fifteen feet at Disney. Still not looking forward to that part of it but at least I always...
