    Yes I was also on checking in for our thanksgiving weekend cruise and was finally able to complete check-in via the app and constant refreshing by about 1245. Incredibly frustrating experience for sure.

    Universal's Holiday Tour

    Thanks everyone for posting your experiences. My youngest is Grinch obsessed and we had Grinch breakfast scheduled at Gaylord Palms Thanksgiving weekend and they cancelled that event.

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    We had reserved the SWAN RESERVE for the end of October and just got an email saying that the hotel had construction delays and will not be open as previously anticipated.

    New Disney World AP Pay and get less?

    I'm also a newer resident - we have purchased the FL resident 4-day pass before just not an AP - does that mean I will have to go in person someplace on the 8th to purchase our APs or will I be able to purchase them online since we've had FL resident 4-day passes before?

    Moving to Orlando new home companies

    We relocated last August. We couldn't find an existing home we liked in our price range that wasn't going to require us to do renovations to make it our style, so we ended up building. We went under contract on our new construction last July and moved in this past February. We lived in a...

    Possible move to Central FL--who knows real estate?

    We moved to Seminole county last year for my husband's job. We ended up in Winter Springs but built our home because we couldn't find any existing homes for sale that met our needs. Our home increased in value over $30K from the time we signed our contract and actually closed. Real Estate here...

    UGH.....rain while there in a week....

    As a local we've had a very dry spring - the city I live in is currently under watering restrictions due to the lack of rain. Yesterday was our first afternoon rain shower in weeks and it lasted 5 minutes, no exaggeration. I wouldn't stress about it. Pack a few ponchos and I'd suggest bringing...

    Locals need advice

    Having just relocated in August 2020. There is lots to do around besides the theme parks. You can always visit Disney Springs or City Walk. Winter Park and Baldwin Park have some restaurants that we like to eat at. Rocco's Taco's in Dr. Phillips is also really good and yummy. I'd definitely...

    Poll: Your experience trying to get a Rise of the Resistance boarding group

    So we've gone to HS three times since October. The first time we were able to get a boarding group no problem (this was when you had to wait for park opening and be inside to grab the boarding group.

    Thinking about moving

    We just moved to Seminole County, FL in August. The schools in Seminole County are some of the best in FL, which is why we chose it over Orange County. Our girls are in VPK (state-funded Pre-K) and Kindergarten and I've been pleased with the zoned school they attend so far. However, we are...

    Any idea when we can buy WDW annual passes?

    We moved to the area in August and purchased the 4-day resident ticket deal, so we've spread out our days 1 day per month, which has worked out but hoping AP sales open up next year. We also did the Universal resident deal buy 1 day get in free until 12/24.

    Just saw this deal. We moved to the Orlando area two weeks ago. We have 4 and 6 year old daughters and go the Resident 4-day pass for Disney world over the weekend and wondering if we should jump on this offer as well. We are only about 25 minutes from the park. Do you have to reserve park days...

    SDD a bad idea for first ride for five year old?

    We went last February when my daughter was 4.5 (who is generally timid and doesn't like to try new things) insisted we ride it and it was her first roller coaster and she loved it so much she made me ride it with her again (we had rider swap). I am not a fan of roller coasters, so requested we...
