Also Splash Mountain and possibly Astro Orbiter. And I think we did 3 on Big Thunder Mtn.

One other tip from our experience this week. If you have a housekeeping request, you don’t have to wait and call from your room. We wanted extra blankets our second night, so we called in our request while out at the park using the hotel number listed on the MDE app under hotel details. Extra...

Just wanted to update everyone regarding our room request experience. I called and faxed my request for connecting rooms, and we got just that. Two connecting rooms in 90’s section. 8270 and 8271. Nice quiet rooms with two queen beds and bath/shower. 2nd Floor. Overlooking computer pool and...

Update: I passed on Swan and kept my POP reservation because of this issue. We are booking two rooms. The room with 1 adult and 3 kids was going to cost an added $150 in extra person charges, on top of the nearly $200 in resort fees. Same for the room with two adults and two children. So all...

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know I’m not the only one who thought this seemed a little off. If we book it, I will call to see if they can remove the fee.

Booking through Marriott, a room with two queen beds at the Swan resort charges extra person fees of $300 for one adult and three children. The same room with one adult and one child, but still the same two queen beds, is $300 less for six nights. Why is this? Does anyone have experience with...

Yes, it is room only. We are staying 6 nights, and I bought 5 day park tickets separately. I was mainly afraid we would lose our FP+ (I worked too hard to get FOP and SDD!). We won’t book offsite, but I’m surprised that isn’t a a problem with people gaming the system to get the 60-day window. Or...

We are booked at Pop Century for arrival on 12/16. All FP+, dining, and resort are linked to MDE, and FP+ was booked 60 days out. What if I cancel my Pop reservation, booked through an online travel agent, and book a different Disney resort (moderate or deluxe perhaps) through a TA also? Will...

Thanks to both for the advice. Scrapping-would you care to send me the number you would use to call in this request? I’ve seen at least a couple different numbers given.

Question about room requests. We are checking in on 12/16. We will have two rooms with 6 kids and two adults. I plan to fax a request for connecting rooms a few days prior to check-in, and I’ve read that if something like this is really important I should make no other requests. So, with online...

Sorry if this is a settled topic, but I’ve seen several different recommendations here for how to recognize a CM and be sure it gets noticed. I know one method works for sure. I saw on Instagram this evening a CM posted a recognition award he received after a guest tweeted to @WDWToday...

I’ve never tried it, but my wife has a phone case made by LoopyCases that I think would work well if you were recording with an iPhone.

Yeah it sucks.

Probably a long wait without FP. Definitely not worth it IMO. We were lucky enough to get our FOP FastPass, so we’ll try to get Navi FP after we finish FOP or check it at rope drop (after FOP first). Hoping to ride FOP at least twice—at rope drop and with FP.

We are going 12/16-12/22. I’m sure 12/20 will be plenty busy, but I’m not expecting it to be the busiest time. Crowds are expected to really pick up on 12/21 and especially 12/22 as school wraps up and people arrive on the weekend to begin vacation. We are expecting 12/21 to still be manageable...

We are going to Wilderness Lodge for dinner at Whispering Canyon on our last night, to check out the Christmas decor. You could also go over to Disney Springs and see the Christmas trail and enjoy a nice dinner.

A special button would be my guess. We were there on the 45th anniversary of WDW and they had a free button and a special sign you could hold for photos on Main Street.

Log in through the website and you’ll probably see your changes there. I noticed the app wasn’t displaying changes, so I closed it out completely, reopened it, and “pulled down” on my plans page to refresh it after confirming my changes on the website. That worked.

I’d book fast passes for MK and remain flexible enough to change parks once arriving if you realize there is another park where you prefer to return.

I was able to get 8 for 3:00 on 12/17 earlier today. They weren’t there this morning and are gone this evening. That was the last big thing I was trying to get for this trip. We got SDD FPs at the 60+4 day mark and we got SDMT on both MK days, but FOP was already gone. Moral of the story is...
