    Calling All Disney Deadheads!!

    Saw them almost 200 times. First time was in 1984. This video is from my second show the next night. What an amazing band, and scene. Nothing else like either. Best fans I’ve ever been around. Still listen to them a lot and see Dead and Co live. They are very good and a fun night.

    Upgrading to AP- checking my math

    We have the same B2G2 tickets, bought through UT. Are trying to upgrade one to an AP via phone and were told by Universal they cannot do it since it is a third party promo ticket. Should we just wait and do it when we check in in Aug? Or should they be able to do it over the phone? Thanks for...

    Will Food and Wine be impacted by new alcohol ban?

    I was talking about the nation as a whole, not just southerners. :)

    Will Food and Wine be impacted by new alcohol ban?

    You are correct, my only point was it is first wave not second. I do believe, given the rate of obesity and underlying condition, even in the younger population, that this will result in a higher mortality rate among young than in other countries. That will play out over the next couple months...

    Magic Bands

    I was just going to write the same thing. The statement from Disney says retiring the free band option. If they will still let you buy them I would assume (I know, may be a mistake) they will still be using the technology, they just want money for them. We were able to add complimentary bands 3...

    Will Food and Wine be impacted by new alcohol ban?

    Not to pick nits, but I believe the south is getting the first wave, not their second. The virus is really just arriving to these states for the first time. If you look at the graphs of cases they are all on their first increase still. And base on predictions by the CDC not going to be at their...

    Book 2021 or wait? So many questions

    Happy early birthday x2! :) We are booked for August 2021 as well. Booked about a week before the virus shut things down. Have POFQ booked for 3 nights and 4 FREE FROM DISNEY nights booked MK view at the Polynesian. POFQ has no opening date as of now but I would think it will be open then. I...

    Boardwalk Villas - To walk, boat or bus?

    We have stayed at BW 5 times. Always walk to both parks, unless boat is there for HS. No reason to walk to Epcot unless issues with walking, as it is not even 5 minutes. We will take the boat back from HS occasionally but usually walk. It is an easy 12-15 minute walk. Main reason we love staying...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    Booked 4 nights here for next August. Add on to 3 nights at POFQ. We were comped 4 nights at any WDW resort due to issues/problems we had on our last stay 2 years ago. Choosing Polynesian was an easy choice for me. We stayed there 49 years ago on our first family visit when I was a kid. Love the...

    BW Inn with young kids?

    Our son has loved it since our second visit in 2012 when he was 6. Loved the clown slide and pool and shows on the Boardwalk at night. We have done split stays the last couple visits, including one that starts Saturday, but we always stay at Boardwalk for part of every visit. Love the location...

    EMM obsession...anyone else doing both?

    We definitely would do both if HS party started 2 weeks earlier! We are there from Aug 25th-Sep3. Doing FS party twice but would certainly cancel one of those and book HS. Well worth the cost to us.

    Stalking FP after 30 days?

    Depends how bad you want it. Faspasses are being changed and updated by thousands of people every day/hour. I definitely don't think it is a waste of time to try periodically every day.

    How on Earth do you pick park days?

    We leave Saturday for 9 nights. Split stay at AKL and Boardwalk. Rented DVC points. First deciding factor was which hotel we were in. Maximizing Epcot and HS back end of this trip as we can walk. Next cross reference the 3 crowd calendar predictors we like. Only doing 3 ADRs. So that made it...

    8:10 BOG reservation

    You also want to book BOG on a day there is not a Fantasyland early morning magic party. Mine Ride starts running at 7:45 for the people attending the party. Will make for at least some line and wait even at 9.

    FOP FP 60 Days Out?

    Keep trying every day-every hour maybe! We are going in late August and wanted it for the first 3 days as we are doing a split stay and staying at AKL first 4 nights. Didn’t get anything for the day we wanted at 7am 60 days+2. But 3 days later got the exact day and time.

    60 days out and ...

    As stated above, definitely keep trying. Our 60 day window for August 25th just hit 2 weeks ago and we got a couple Slinky Dogs. We did not get Flights Day one for the one day we wanted it. But we found one for that day three days later.

    FP bookings 60+ days out question

    Thanks! That is what we hoped.

    FP bookings 60+ days out question

    I have been reading here and elsewhere and seem to see conflicting info. We are doing a split stay in August, 4 nights at the Animal Kingdom Value room and 5 nights at the Boardwalk. On our 60 day out date can we book fastpasses for all 10 days or only for the first 5? And then book for the last...

    How important is Rope Drop with these morning plans?

    As others have correctly stated, there is no better time to do the most attractions at the park tean the first couple hours. We always try to get to the parks at least 30 minutes before they open, and in august okan in getting to AK at least an hour to do the Pandora stuff with minimal waits. If...
