    Disney trip approaching fast and all I'm stressed about is a darn boarding group on RotR

    Hello everyone......thank you all for your advice and guidance, we scored boarding group #5 and we had the ride to ourselves. One of the First Order guards asked us to put the recording devices down and move along, grandma said "how rude" and another guard started looking into our shuttle for...

    Disney trip approaching fast and all I'm stressed about is a darn boarding group on RotR

    Thank you, thank you everyone....I didn't want to drop a new topic and then leave, everyone has been so helpful. If you go onto YouTube there are dozens of videos out there preaching gloom and doom using phrases like "you're in for a battle" and "good luck getting a BG" on only "those with the...

    Disney trip approaching fast and all I'm stressed about is a darn boarding group on RotR

    Thank you for the encouragement! I should feel pretty blessed that the only thing stressing me out right now is getting on a ride, I wonder if I try a few Jedi mind tricks if that would help? thanks again.

    Disney trip approaching fast and all I'm stressed about is a darn boarding group on RotR

    Thank you for the encouragement.....YOUTUBE channels have a bleak review of this process however I have read more about people getting a BG than guests who don't, to think the only thing stressing me out in life is if I get my family on an amusement park ride? If all of us could be so lucky to...

    Disney trip approaching fast and all I'm stressed about is a darn boarding group on RotR

    It amazes me that the only stressor I'm feeling is getting a boarding group. We decided not to limit our parks so the only day for HS is Sunday, April 11th. We are unwilling to potentially miss out on another park by reserving multiple days at HS so Sunday will be it. I'm wondering if anyone...

    April 19th week

    So we are visiting the week of April 10th through the 17th at both Disney and Universal....I have been to both parks pre-COVID with capacity at 100% and I don't EVER suspect I visited during a 35% day at either park. I guess I don't exactly know what anyone means when the park is busy versus...

    Visiting Disney World without a park reservation?

    I'm reading a number of posts regarding vacations to Disney where they are reserving their entire stay at HS hoping to get a boarding group, this seems risky to me. During our visit in April there are no reservations for any parks available for resort guests now having to rely on park hopping...

    Experience while crowded

    Looks like we are in store for a unique experience in April when we visit. I cannot imagine crowds at 35% when we have visited during a 100% capacity day. NOW if I could just score RoR boarding group on the one day we have reserved for HS while the park is at 35% capacity, apparently I should...

    Experience while crowded

    This is very interesting to me, prior to COVID I have NEVER been to a park in my 30+ visits and experienced a 35% capacity day. I have seen photographs of family and friends visiting Disney World and in the background it appears they are the only ones there......

    Will I really be able to change my park day if I don't get RoR?

    I suppose I'm the only one who finds it ridiculous that a family staying on property cannot be guaranteed a spot on ANY new ride while the park is operating at 35%. Disney isn't cheap, families will never know if or when they are returning and want to see the newest attraction a park has to...

    What does a relaxing Disney World vacation look like?

    Before you even leave your home for Disney knowing that you are a guest staying on property and will be guaranteed a spot on RoR at some point in your stay.

    Input requested from recent CC 5k runners!

    My 13 year old and I just participated in the 5K on 3/10....We met at Evolutions and left the ship at exactly the same time as other passengers. The off ship meeting place was the post office and then we walked towards the starting line, the problem I identified was the masses leaving the ship...

    Help with castaway cay

    Someone should tell all the folks in sandals and long beach lounge pants carrying ginormous beach bags who took a running number before my daughter and I received ours last Sunday. It was sorta ridiculous and easily spotted by everyone so I suppose they didn't get the memo that the gig is up on...

    AAU basketball team to travel next year to nationals at Disney's Wide World of Sports

    I'm looking for tips and suggestions as well as opinions for teams attending next years 2020 AAU girls 8th grade national basketball championships. We are very much looking forward to this event, my daughter plays on an elite basketball team and have attended the last three championships and...

    YIKES. It’s (3/12) So busy! Planning and FP are so important.

    I agree, we are tactical planners while on multi-day vacations at Disney and travel during off seasons. I understand how in state residents can feel under appreciated. It is sad that someone can not simply get up one morning and gather the kids and go to Disney.....

    Help with castaway cay

    Just off the Dream on Monday 3/11....general disembarkation started the exact same time my daughter and I left the ship for the 5k. It was quite confusing for us runners to determine if we were walking with the correct group of people to the starting line.

    YIKES. It’s (3/12) So busy! Planning and FP are so important.

    This is a very interesting thread and I have been lurking to some degree and is accurately describes our one day visit to MK on Monday 3/11. The set up story is we just finished our 3 day cruise on the Disney Dream and had planned a day stay in Orlando to assure us a smooth next day flyout back...

    With all the construction, when are you going?

    With all the news regarding construction and the near demolition of Hollywood Studios and Avatar Land how many of you have postponed a visit to Disney and when do you plan to return? My wife and I have considered a Halloween visit in 2017 to the campgrounds.......OK, GO!

    Camping with others

    Does the camp have dump stations?.....parents never have sewer when they camp states parks so dumping at the end of the trip would be our preference over a sewer line.

    What's your Threshold for Taking Kids out of School

    There is no right or wrong answer here. Just returned from 5 days in the Orlando and Clearwater area for 20th wedding anniversary and vow renewal and children left and returned on the fly, hit the ground running and in some instances excelled upon their return. Not a recommendation and perhaps...
