    Thanks, I Hate It - Disney by non-Disney Fans (DUN)

    Oh dear! Maybe you have great in-laws! Our very first trip with our son (prior to the disastrous trip with the in-laws) included both of MY parents, hubby and son. My husband thought we were insane with all the walking, etc. We would have called him the nightmare that trip. Then when we...

    Thanks, I Hate It - Disney by non-Disney Fans (DUN)

    Oh my! I'm sorry your trip wasn't great, but your recap has brought a smile to my face. We once went on an extended family trip to Disney. Me, hubby, two sons, my in-laws and my mother. My in-laws cancelled on us twice in the year leading up to the trip, but would come back and ask to be...

    Do you wait and save for the trip you want or make the trip fit your budget at the time?

    I have a general idea of where I want to go and how much that will cost, then I start saving. I need a goal!

    Answer to Petes question.

    I listened to a podcast recently about a group of 17 that went on a Disney cruise. The amount of quarantining they did prior to the cruise to try to keep every one free of the virus, as well as the anxiety they went through regarding testing before leaving home and again at the port just...

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    Booked our flights today using points. Based on my previous stalking of flights over the past few months, we were planning to fly out of LUV to MCO direct. However, when I looked this morning there were very few direct LUV to MCO flights and the ones they had were significantly higher than...

    Deluxe Extra Nighttime Hours

    Am I right in thinking that you DO NOT need a park reservation at the specific park to do the Extra Hours? Say, if we start at Hollywood Studios and then hop over the Magic Kingdom before closing we'll be able to participate?

    Magicband+

    Any idea if the current Magic Bands will still work? or will still be sold? I read an article, but didn't see that answered. We don't go until June, but don't want to get stuck in a situation where I wait to find out pricing on these only to have no choice of the current bands if/when I decide...

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    We are booked at Beach Club June 2-6, 2022! I'm so excited, but also completely second guessing myself. Given that we will be going for the first time in a decade I've had this YOLO attitude about the budget; right up until the last week or so. With the addition of Genie+ and IAS I keep...

    Rise of the Resistance to utilize normal queue starting Sept 23.

    This makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy that now maybe I don’t need two days at Hollywood Studios and this can allow me to squeeze some other things into my trip, but sad that my choices to ride ROTR are stand in a long line or pay to skip it. Luckily I’ve got until June before I...

    "We Want to Be as Cool as VelociGranny" and "I Now Have a Fear of Housekeeping"

    A little late to the party, but I so enjoyed your report! My 16 year old son and I are going next summer, just the two of us and I am really looking forward to it! My son also runs cross country, but I don't think he'll be volunteering to run on vacation, lol. We'll also be going in very...

    MDE login issues - anyone else?

    I had this problem too, I was finally able to reset my password by logging on to Disney+ and resetting it there. Then it started letting me log on to MDE on the computer and the app!

    Off The Rails Show

    I honestly find this show to be the most beneficial to planning my upcoming trip. I absolutely love it and feel like hosts really balance each other out.

    Concerned if Tron and Guardians will open by end of 50th?

    We put off a trip we hoped to take a few years ago until Galaxy's Edge was open and then life changed significantly for us and we won't be able to make a trip to Disney until 2022, by that time it will be 10 years since our last Disney trip. As someone said above, Disney rolls things out like...

    Universal before or after Disney?

    This is our philosophy for this trip as well. Last time we did Disney first and then two days at Universal. We were tired of spending money, tired of sleeping in a different bed and just really kind of ready to get home after our nearly two week trip. This time we're doing Universal first so...

    Volcano Bay, Blizzard Beach, Both, or Neither

    My son is 16 and just got back from Volcano Bay and loved it! I wasn't with him so can't speak to the intensity of the rides myself, but they were great for a group of teenage boys. He also really liked the virtual line technology at Volcano Bay (don't ask me how that works, all I know is...

    ***Official June 2022 Thread***

    We will arrive on June 2nd. Staying at Beach Club and will have 5 days in the parks. This is our first trip to Disney in 10 years and our first ever stay onsite! I'm so excited, but so much has changed in the past 10 years it makes me nervous. I really thought I had my head wrapped around it...

    Saved 43% OOP for a Surprise WDW/Universal Trip by using Found Money!!

    Great job! We also use Southwest points and have flown round trip to D.C. And Orlando and plan to use them for our next Disney trip as well. We also signed up for the dining rewards program, as well as Hilton Honors dining rewards. A LOT of these restaurants overlap so we are earning hotel and...

    Project Runway-Season 15!

    Love this show. I though the girl that won deserved it (takes me a while to remember all their names.) I also think she has an interesting back story. I though they got it right with the elimination. Heidi has horrible taste! I was glad to see that she didn't completely overpower everyone...

    What to do with 3 1/2 extra days when DH doesn't want to do WDW

    Glad to know I'm not the only one planning for 2018 and trying to accommodate her husband's preferences...lol. For 12 days we are planning 2 days at Universal, 1 at SeaWorld, 6 at WDW and 3 "down" days that will include at least one Disney Water Park. My husband needs recovery time or he gets...

    Just Back from Star Wars Weekend 2012 Opening Day

    Thanks for the post :) We will be there the first weekend in June. Everyone seems to freak out about SWW on the boards regarding crowd size so it's nice to see a positive post. We know it will be crowded, but our plan is, if we miss something, just go back on Monday!:rotfl2:
