I have really enjoyed reading the original post and all the responses. We just got back from our first DL trip after many WDW vacations. (I've been to WDW around 20 times, and my kids have gone 6-7 times and they're in their late teens). We very much enjoyed ourselves but I'm having a hard...

Sure, this is anecdotal, and based on limited experience, but we were there for 2 days last week, and on our first day, our plan was to rope drop Indy. It was down, and once it eventually opened around 8:45, we jumped in, and then there was another delay while we were in line that exacerbated...

August 1-3

We are in a similar boat. We purchased base tickets through UT, with no intention of park hopping, but, as our trip approaches, and we know it might be our only trip to DL, we have had thoughts of adding them. Am I correct that we would have to add them at the park once we're there? And it...

I would say 10-15 minutes. But, at night and with shade, it was comfortable.

We enjoyed the house. Good space and nice having our own pool. Not being as regular visitors to the area, I underestimated the time it would take to drive the 8 miles to the parks. Traffic was always an issue, regardless of the time of day. I think next time we would like something closer but...

Yes! I forgot to mention that we also had the water park add-on. On two separate days, we went mini-golfing at Winter Summerland and then right over to Blizzard Beach, and we had great times both days.

That's what I told my son I figured was the case.

For pure time commitment, it seems to me getting in before close pays off more. A couple weeks ago, we got in line around 6:30 for a 7:00 close. Posted 70, took us about 50.

We got back Monday and I wanted to give our perspective. We were there from Wednesday, 7/7 through Saturday 7/17. Unlike almost everyone else I see on here, we were different in that we stayed off property and did not have park hoppers. I think so much of what people are feeling about their...

My 4 kids and I got into the single rider line last Sunday about 9 and waited maybe 10 minutes. Standby quoted 60. Of the 5 of us, 2 pairs got to ride together in the same car. 4

We ate there on 7/7. We only have 4 TS meals booked for our family of 6, and that’s the only one we have done so far. We enjoyed it. My wife and I got the prime rib and they cooked my wife’s to more medium well, so she was pleased. Kids got the fried chicken. We thought it was all good and the...

I do not know how typical this is, because today was our first day at HS since 2017, but let me encourage anyone to stick it out with their boarding group on RotR. We got BG 109 at the 1 pm drop. Estimated return was about 5:30. The ride went down about 4 so that got pushed back. We got the...

What I love about all these stories is how distinct the memories are for everyone. No one likes being soaked in the moment, but man, does it sure make for a long-lasting memory. For us, it would be June 2011. We were at AK, and took the obligatory picture of our happy family as we entered...

I tried getting on exactly at midnight last Friday night but my date 60 days out didn't show up right at 12. I refreshed a couple of times and it finally appeared. When I clicked through for my son, there were no times available at 12:01. We have two HS days, and I'm checking multiple times a...

We live in west-central Illinois, so going over to I-65 isn't really an option for us, but I've been down I-57 many, many times from Champaign south. I can't speak to the traffic north of Champaign, but, going south, it is wide open until you get to Mt. Vernon. It's usually a little heavier...

3 of them. The oldest is graduating high school this year, so she is starting to slowly figure out that we're not the world's biggest idiots.

My family of seven (including 5 teenagers, pray for us) are booked for July 7-17. We are staying offsite (did I mention we have 5 teenagers?) at Calabay Parc. We are exclusively summer travelers, and did our last trip the first week of July in 2017. A lot has changed since then! Can't wait!

Ok. Looks like I know what we have to do now. Thank you all for your responses!

Ideally, that's what we would do. However, these tickets were from 2019, and originally had to be used within 2 years. We were told that would be extended due to the Covid closure, but I was told only extended until September 2021. Coming from Illinois, we wouldn't be able to use them on a...
