    Shortcut to EE at rope drop?

    We were there at rope drop and went the Dinoland way, past Nemo - we got to EE and got Fastpasses about 2 minutes before the "herd" showed up behind the CMs with the rope. It might be a bit of a longer, but NO ONE ELSE goes this way and so it saves a lot of time.

    "Mickey's LITTLE FRIENDS only.." ?

    When we were at Disney early this month I witnessed adults ordering child meals every time we used counter service. It's SUCH a tiny amount of food, I think I'd rather split a double bacon cheeseburger with dh than order 2 kids meals. BUT I tended to see this happen most frequently at places...

    Planet Hollywood & the ddp

    We went to Planet Hollywood as a spur of the moment thing the morning we went shopping at Downtown Disney. We went right at 11 when they opened and we were the only people there until 11:15 or so. By noon it was packed. If you want to go without ADRs, just plan to go when they open and you...

    Sharing Food

    I didn't ask a question about it, I was simply changing our ADRS - I changed ALL of them once we got to Disney. So much for all that planning. Anyway, each of the 3 times I called, the reps made the same statements - no smoking in the restaurant, park ticket is needed for entry to the parks...

    Kali River Rapids

    We went on it last week and my son and I were the only people that got totally soaked on our ride. The other people were just damp - we looked like we took a bath in our clothes. That being said, I've ridden several other "river rapids" type rides, including one in Busch Gardens, and Kali is...

    Time in parks--how much?

    We just got back from our first family trip to Disney. We were in Orlando for 10 days - 3 days at Pop Century and 7 days at an offsite resort. We got into town at 11 AM on a Thursday and immediately went to MK - spent 10 hours there. The next morning we arrived at MK at 8:40 and stayed until...

    How do you adjust UG/TGM plans for noon arrival?

    We ended up hitting MK week before last right at noon - the PLAN was to go the next morning, but we got excited and hit the parks as soon as we got into town. It was a very crowded MK day - early EMH and the last day before two grad nights - so the park was packed. We tossed the plan aside and...

    New Kilimanjaro FASTPASS tickets

    The fastpass machines were down for Kimimanjaro when we were there last Tuesday, and the standby line was 70 minutes. Fortunately we got the dream fastpasses that morning and were able to use ours for the Safari. It was especially fortunate since that was our last park day, and I got sun...

    Sharing Food

    When I called to change my ADRs last week while at Disney, they specifically said that one TS credit was required PER DINER at all TS locations. I imagine this is a brand new change.

    Crowds Now? Any reports?

    We just got home - longest line we waited in was 5 minutes - even when it SEEMED crowded, it was always easy to find an attraction with little to no wait. Our first park day was at MK, we got there at noon, it was an AM EMH, and it was the day before 2 Grad Nights - in other words, NOT an ideal...

    Should We Leave Tomorrow Evening or Thursday Morning?

    By the way, this Disney vacation is turning into the ever-expanding trip. Original plan was to leave early Friday morning and check in Friday evening. Then I had the "brilliant" idea of dh taking a half day off on Thursday, so that we could leave after lunch and get to Disney around midnight...

    Should We Leave Tomorrow Evening or Thursday Morning?

    I just got back to the computer to see all these posts encouraging me to leave TODAY! I'm about to start cleaning the house, finishing up packing, and then I have some errands to run. If I'm feeling like I'm "ready" by 3 PM or so, I think I'll call dh and tell him we're leaving when he gets...

    Should We Leave Tomorrow Evening or Thursday Morning?

    Okay, so the original plan was for me to go to bed VERY early tomorrow night, then we would leave at 4 AM Thursday morning, hopefully getting to Disney by 3 PM, checking in, and making it to Wolfgang Pucks for our 5 PM ADR. Now I'm getting antsy and pondering the thought of leaving at 5 PM...

    Anyone want to join a May Photopass Swap?

    We'll be there from April 26 to May 6th. We could get the number and then I can email it to you before you head to Disney. Email me at Rowan555@gmail.com if you would like to do it!

    Anyone going late April/early May

    We leave Thursday, and I was just put on a 10 day round of 2 antibiotics that say "avoid sun exposure." Doh. I will be buying some extra sunblock, as avoiding the sun during 10 days at Disney is just NOT an option!

    Will MK Be AWFUL This Sunday?

    We're planning to go to MGM on Sunday until 3 PM or so, then drive to Orbit One to check in (we're checking out of Pop that morning). Our original plan was to unpack, then head to MK for late EMH since it's the last day we'll be eligible to do EMH (and since we don't want to return to MGM, I...

    Can I Just Order an Appetizer "To Go"???

    Thanks. I won't plan on being able to do it, but before I grab lunch anywhere else, I'll TRY to order some ceviche and see what happens.

    Can I Just Order an Appetizer "To Go"???

    I know this is a long shot, but I wonder if it is possible to go to one of the restaurants without an ADR and ask to order an appetizer to go. There's not much I can eat at Disney, and one of the things I can eat, and would like to get, is ceviche at San Angel Inn. Unfortunately, no one else...

    Non-Expiry --- Does it really work this way ???

    We're going to upgrade, and I did lots of research ahead of time and discovered it would be around $660 including tax to upgrade our 10 days hoppers with plus options to non expiring tickets. I was SHOCKED at the cost and did lots of math before finally deciding it was worth it. Had a CM told...

    Anyone going late April/early May

    3 more days! We're leaving at 4 AM Thursday and hope to arrive at Pop Century by 3:30 so we can check in and make it to our 5PM ADR at Wolfgang Puck :scared: It was 5 PM or 9 PM, and I just had to take 5 and hope we'll be there in time. Since we're doing a split stay, I'm trying to pack one...
