@bsmcneil That totally worked, thank you! Been trying through the standard reservation page for weeks with no luck.

Was there on Saturday 2/1. We left our Treehouse Villa at 5:30 and drove over. Not much traffic, parked close enough to walk to security. No wait there, we were with the crowds waiting to tap in at 5:57 a.m. It was raining and pretty chilly, with most people trying to stay under the roof areas...

I never thought we'd attempt Disney during Christmas week, but we've found ourselves planning to be in central Florida on 12/28 after a cruise, so in the words of Luke Skywalker, "I'm going in!" Here is a rundown of our plan, I have a few specific questions but feel free to jump in with general...

We've always been a late October family -- lower crowds, lower temps, and especially MNSSHP. We visited just about every October from 2007-2016. Without question, the 'secret' had gotten out as every year got progressively worse crowd-wise. ADRs become impossible within 90 days, and when paper...

Did the Monday morning EMH at Animal Kingdom yesterday with the sole intention of riding FoP. The night before (Sunday) we got on line for FoP just after 8:30 pm. We waited in line for 48 minutes. Arrived for EMH yesterday at 7:30, and we were walking with the hoards to Pandora at rope drop...

We're headed to WDW on Friday, and I am sad that we missed a last chance to ride. My kids got multiple chances to see life-sized dinosaurs over the years, and it was often a highlight, especially when they were too small for the bigger rides. We haven't ridden as much recently, so I'm probably...

This is our family's favorite spot, not for the food but the atmosphere. So we've eaten there a lot. We always book an early lunch -- we have 11:20 a.m. ADR's next week. As others have mentioned, you will most likely spend more time waiting to be seated than to be served. We've found that the...

We honeymooned in Disney 22 years ago in late October, and have gone back for anniversary trips maybe a dozen times. The last three years have been so outrageously crowded, we've given up on Columbus Day through Halloween. It's too bad, we loved taking our kids to the MNSSHP and the weather is...

Disney dining has always been a highlight of our visits to WDW, especially since my wife has a severe food allergy. They made it so easy to inform the staff when you make ADRs about allergy concerns, and we've become accustomed to a chef visiting our table and making something from the menu...

Bump!! I was about to ask the same question. We have a 9:00 p.m. ADR on a night when Wishes goes off at 8:00 p.m. Will we be allowed to go to the observation deck and then wait in the lounge for our table? We were there in July 2009 and got to see a Space Shuttle launch and the fireworks from...

We had a terrible breakfast experience at 'Ohana six years ago, but we're giving it another chance next week. Recent posts do not give me reason for optimism...:scared1:

We've attended multiple parties (MVMCP and MNSSHP) and usually visit one park in the morning and then use the hard ticket as a 'virtual hopper.' I always get there around 3:30 p.m. because we've always been let in before 4:00 p.m. There's usually only a few dozen people waiting around, the CMs...

Yes, we were there for lunch. As mentioned earlier, basically the same menu with lower prices.

You can't go wrong with California Grill, great food & view, and lively atmosphere. When I think romantic dinner, however, I'm usually more in the candlelight and lower volume frame of mind. I think Artist Point is a good choice here, and in the parks I would go with Hollywood Brown Derby. The...

We ate there for the first time on our last trip. Been dining at Epcot for years, just never made it over there. My kids weren't too happy with their food, but they were just being picky (I insisted that they not order chicken nuggets from the kids menu!). I liked getting something different at...

Thanks everyone for the good advice. We'll have a car so no worries about transportation. Looking forward to seeing Jock's!!

We have 5:50 pm ADRs at Hollywood Brown Derby on a night when Studios closes at 8:00 p.m. I figure we'll be heading for the exits when dinner is over, and thought it would be a good time to check out Jock's before heading back to our hotel. My son (11) is a huge Indiana Jones fan and is excited...

I'm worried about my lunch reservation now. My whole family loves Sci-Fi and it's a must-do on every trip. We've learned the hard way that it gets extremely backed up and have had more than one lunch stretch over two hours. Our solution for the past two years is to get there near the first...

The last time I stayed at Beach Club (2012) we were at the International Gateway at 7:30 a.m. and they let us in at 7:45 (EMH day). We went straight to Soarin' and rode three times and had breakfast at Sunshine Seasons before 9:30 a.m. And this was during the Test Track renovation! The nice...

Just hop on MDE and select Update Fastpass+. I've been able to see the times available without cancelling first (although I have not tried to do this for a park change). The ADRs are a whole different ballgame -- I tried to change my days up (three weeks out) and there's nothing available at...
