    READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

    Launched the app right when our phones hit 7am. Out of the 4 of us, my 16-year old daughter had the fastest phone fingers (big surprise). We got BG 31. Got our boarding call right about 9am and finished the entire experience by about 9:40. Given the amount of people at the gates this morning, I...

    The Void: Star Wars VR

    Did it in January and absolutely loved it all. It had totally slipped my mind to book a time before our trip, so we ended up walking in mid-afternoon. There was a line of people waiting to get reservations, but we just went over to one of the self-service booking stations, and grabbed open slots...

    SHADES OF GREEN at Walt Disney World Resort Information & Questions

    With our 3 room reservations, my name shows in each of the 3 rooms. However, I had no issues getting FPs because the linking of the park tickets to each person is done separately.

    SHADES OF GREEN at Walt Disney World Resort Information & Questions

    Like I said, there has been no announcement that I have seen from SOG at all. In fact, their own "Tickets/Attractions" webpage currently still says 30 days: http://shadesofgreen.org/index.php/experiences/tours It's disappointing that they are not actively publicizing the change in this benefit...

    SHADES OF GREEN at Walt Disney World Resort Information & Questions

    This is true...I was just able to log-in and link my SOG reservations and begin booking FPs (currently at 38 days out for our trip). I wish that there had been a well-publicized announcement of this from SOG, as we could have been booking 3 weeks ago. On a plus note, we got plenty of the FPs we...

    SHADES OF GREEN at Walt Disney World Resort Information & Questions

    Does anyone have any recent reviews of the Garden Gallery breakfast buffet? We have a total of 4 rooms reserved for next month, and got an email offer to one room reservation for 15% off breakfast rate if we book a length-of-stay breakfast plan. Not sure if that offer will be extended to all...

    SHADES OF GREEN at Walt Disney World Resort Information & Questions

    Thanks for your reply, but we already have rooms reserved for our trip in mid January. I was asking about when would be the right time to put in room location requests for our stay?

    SHADES OF GREEN at Walt Disney World Resort Information & Questions

    Generally, when is a good timeframe for submitting room requests in advance of a stay? We have a total of 14 people in 4 rooms, and would like to request to be near each other within the Palm wing. Any advice is appreciated.

    Typically how long after the holidays are the Christmas decorations left up? We arrive on Jan 11th for our visit.

    Reservations for large group

    We are a group of 14 going on a January 2018 trip. Attempts to book ADRs now that we are within our 180-day window have been a mixed bag. Of the 4 planned meals, I was only able to complete booking for one restaurant online (Kona Café). The other 3 (Tutto Italia, Y&Y, and The Wave) all came back...

So far our group is at 14 people, coming out from NV, UT, and OR. Our son will be coming out towards the end of his college winter break from...

    Category/Room Rate verification I am recently retired from active-duty, and now work as a military contractor. Which room rate category would I (and additional sponsored rooms) fall under?

    Heartbreaking news...a big reminder to be aware of wildlife on property

    And it's those who feel that they can disregard "frivolous" rules who unfortunately have to deal with the very real consequences of the actions they take when they turn their head and act contrary to the rules.

    Heartbreaking news...a big reminder to be aware of wildlife on property

    To infer that simply being at Disneyworld means that as a parent you can let your guard down about anything related to your parental responsibilities is insane. No matter the passing under that "Disney Arch", it is still very much the real world, and if you subscribe to the belief that merely...

    Heartbreaking news...a big reminder to be aware of wildlife on property

    Call it an opinion all you want, but it's a sad and tragic fact that had the child not been allowed to go into the water, at night nonetheless, this would not be a story today. As a parent, I am as sympathetic as any other parent here. I cannot even begin to fathom the pain and agony that this...

    Heartbreaking news...a big reminder to be aware of wildlife on property

    We have stayed at Shades of Green many times, and each and every time we have seen alligators in or around the small ponds surrounding the grounds. There are multiple signs along the walkway to the Poly warning of alligators and snakes on the grounds. I can't say for sure whether these are...

    Dining Reviews: Dec 12-19

    Yak and Yeti lunch: this visit makes the third time in the last three trips for us. While we have yet to really enjoy any other TS choices in AK, we have yet to be disappointed here yet at all. This trip would continue that trend, as it was a great meal. At check-in, my wife's allergy was noted...
