    MMRR, getting a BG and park opening

    There’s no reason to show up before 6am to get a boarding pass. If that’s all you want, you can tap in at 7:55am. The people showing up at 6am are doing it to rope drop a headliner.

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

    Last year, I went to the ticket window prior to entering a water park to have DS's no-expiration WPF&M ticket exchanged for an adult ticket, and I was told that they don't actually exchange child no-expiration tickets to adult tickets because there is no longer a no-expiration option for new...

    MyMagic+ executive gone, now Disney needs to remove certain fast passes

    I'm not quite sure how "we" can laud the addition of a 4th/5th/etc fastpass and simultaneously demand that popular high-volume rides like PoC and HM be removed from the FP system. Exactly what are guests supposed to use that 4th and later fastpass on, then? Maybe I'm missing the logic here.

    Walking from Contemporary Resort to Wilderness lodge. possible??

    Just an update: I used this route for a couple of early-morning runs to Ft. Wilderness on my current trip. I wore my headlamp but actually, the "unauthorized" part of the route is very well lit. I didn't feel the need to turn on my light until I reached the walking path that goes between...

    DHS how often open early?

    All I can tell you is that when we were at DHS yesterday, they didn't open until 8:55. I don't know if that's the norm, but if it is, you'll probably reach your first attraction at 9:00 anyway.

    New Ticket Upgrade Policy?

    Although it seems pretty well established that there has been no substantive change in policy, I'll add my data point in support. On Saturday, 5/17, at Guest Services outside of MK, I was able to upgrade my family's tickets with bridging and was quoted the price I expected. In addition to that...

    Here now, crowds and FP+, wow!

    FP+ still existed yesterday, and we walked onto Living with the Land at around 1pm. So what was the difference between Saturday and yesterday? I don't know, but it wasn't FP+. Here's what we were able to do yesterday: RD Test Track Sum of All Thrills Mission Space green Nemo (we waited...

    The garden grill not turning

    It was not turning for our meal last night. Although I liked the changes of scenery when we ate there two years ago, I didn't really miss it on this visit. As for the walls, I wouldn't rely on their existence as an indication of how long it will take to fix the rotation. They didn't look...

    running around Disney?

    I did a couple of runs (only 6 and 7 miles) on my current trip from WL to FW and it was really nice - my first time visiting Fort Wilderness in any capacity. This morning I saw three deer who leaped over a fence right in front of me! One thing that struck me this week is that as I was leaving...

    The garden grill not turning

    I will update after we eat there tonight. I asked DS8 before we left for our trip, what if the GG still wasn't turning and we had other opportunities to meet Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale on our trip, did he still want to eat there? He informed me in no uncertain terms that he did not want to...

    Test Track First Thing

    This may be a silly question (I haven't gotten a touring plan from an outside source for years), but is the 23 minutes for the wait before you get into the design chamber? Before you get into the ride vehicle? Or a total of wait, design, and ride? Because 23 minutes sounds about right for the...

    I need the best strategy to get from Epcot to a childcare center.

    Why risk leaving your child with a caregiver who has been screened, background checked, reference checked, and interviewed through an agency like Kids Nite Out whose success depends on parents' satisfaction with their safety and attentiveness? At some point in most parents' lives they're going...

    Will deactivating a park ticket in MDE affect my fast pass selections?

    I am fairly sure you need to have Guest Services change the priority. I would not rely on using the activate/deactivate function in MDE on the card to change the ticket priority. As I interpret it in MDE, deactivating a card will make it so that card cannot be used for park entry, but I am not...

    Question about tickets with FP+ and MDE

    I think you have it right. The terms I would use are you "linked" the tickets to your MDE account. Then you "assigned" them to your friends. Before the tickets are used for entry, they can be reassigned to anyone else you want, and they will remain linked to your account.

    Will deactivating a park ticket in MDE affect my fast pass selections?

    I don't have firsthand experience with this but this is as I understand it. The number of days of FP+ selections you can make is tied to the number of park days/person in the MDE account. For instance, I have 6 days of FP+ selections made for my husband, and assigned to him in my MDE account is...

    running around Disney?

    When I stayed at Beach Club a couple of years ago I did an 8-miler. It included about 1.5 loops of Epcot Resort Blvd, 3 times out and back to DHS, and a couple of loops of the boardwalk around Crescent Lake. I didn't find it overly repetitive, considering the scenery and surroundings. Here's the...

    UPDATE! Got a call!!...MDE, multiple tickets, and Fastpass+?

    Are the existing tickets in the MDE account unused? If so, then they can be reassigned between people in your account. I had a 2-day ticket from a February trip in MDE that I didn't use. In planning for our upcoming May trip, I reassigned it to DH so that I would have ticket/park days for him in...

    How much do you $$ a nite in Disney hotels?

    I get a roommate who's not in my immediate family, so then whatever the cost is, I only pay half. ;)
