    Help me decide-MK New years eve???

    IMO, this is the most stressful park to be in on the most stressful day to be in a park. There is no leaving and coming back because you need a break on NYE :) You get in ASAP that morning and know that you're there for the day, with a capacity, close-the-gates don't-forget-the-deodorant crowd...

    Fastpass Waits Are Much Longer Than Trips Pass

    (So, if I may preface this with "Back in the day...") When the original FP opened at the attraction where I worked, we were trained at merge to always try to keep our FP Return line to 15 minutes or less, as that had been determined to be the amount of time where guests found that the FP...

    Aerial Images of Disney theme parks

    The Fish and The Duck here. Amused that we're not alone in our nicknaming. Sorry to clog the thread. Would contribute if I had an airplane. Continue on...

    We Will Miss You Dustin!

    Well done, Dustin. You helped guide the show to place I had hoped it would go when I first heard it (too) many moons ago. Best wishes going forward. -Jay

    Memory Maker

    The Memory Maker pictures from our last trip (and first time using MM) featured something that hasn't been in our pictures in the last 7 years - me. It was worth the cost alone to have a few dozen pictures featuring our whole family, without having to track down a CM or a stranger to take a pic...

    CM's guest tickets

    The CM will log into MDE. They will see their MainGate as well as their Guest Passes and Spouse Pass (as applicable). Those tickets can then be used to make FP+ picks 7 days out. They do not need to be the same for all - different guest passes can have different FP+ picks at overlapping times.

    While I'm sure you'll get varying responses to this question, we just made our FP+ picks 7 days out and got everything we needed in the middle of August :)

    Is it worth using FP for shows??

    I am finding more and more often that FP does me no good for shows. The most glaring example was showing up at the beginning of our Lights Motors Action window at DHS to find a stadium filled to 90% and our seats behind a pole. It was then that I realized I had made a tactical error.

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions-Old Thread-New Thread Link in Post 1

    Probably not a new policy. Most likely just me not picking up the phone yet ;)

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions-Old Thread-New Thread Link in Post 1

    We have a room only reservation, so I am unable to pay my remaining balance online. The Disney FAQ says I will pay the rest "when I arrive". I have also registered/requested/whatevered online check-in, so if I understand correctly, I will potentially not need to visit the front desk. My...

    Thanks! I knew it was something like this, but I was having trouble tracking down the "combine" link in the app, so I was confused how it was all being done. Found it, combined the cards, and have $400 in Disney GC on the way. Appreciate everyone's effort here. This is an addictive thread...

    Nope, no apologizing needed. Good for you for grabbing the deal! :) I'm enjoying the "sport" of it.

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    Thanks! I finally figured out my problem on the resort balances and why I couldn't find where to pay them down online - we are room only, so apparently we pay when we arrive... but we are doing online check-in, so that'll be interesting. Probably going to take a quick phone call.

    OK.... which one of you just snagged that 6.7% Target GC off Raise? Grrrrr ;) And really, I should use this moment of mediocre humor to ask my two actual questions. (1) What is the process for combining these e-Gift cards from Target into a single gift card? And follow-up: what was the purpose...

    Big difference between 1st 2 weeks of june and last 2 weeks?

    The further you get into June, I imagine the more schools you have that are on summer break, thus generating larger crowds. Plus, you get that small peak of crazy attendance surrounding the 4th of July period. You may also be able to get some insight if you keep an eye on wait times in the next...

    How bad is Test Track?

    The next time you are in a vehicle that reaches 65 miles per hour, roll down the window and stick your head out just a bit. Be safe. Congrats! This is the jist of Test Track! (in other words, you can do it)

    Almost every single CM has mentioned my DDs Inside Out Stuffed animals.

    As a former CM who loves new movies/new Disney stuff, you bet I would comment on a child's souvenir from an upcoming film, especially if the film looked good and the release date was close. I was never asked to do it, just being friendly and trying to share in the excitement of Disney. Not sure...

    I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a time when you could rebook a Southwest flight if the price dropped and they would issue you an airline credit for the difference? All without change fees? Anyone?... Bueller?...
