    Just back from Spring Break mini trip

    Sorry for not seeing your question earlier! I think everyone had their old favorites (Pirates, RSR) that haven't changed - but new favorites for everyone were ROR and SM (for our tween who has now decided she actually does love the thrill rides), but mine was Web Slingers - that was crazy fun! I...

    Just back from Spring Break mini trip

    Agree that EE is less "worth it" when I think back on the Magic Mornings of the past where you got one full hour - that was truly magical. AND now that EE is every morning at each park, rope droppers cannot avoid the EE crowds at all. Le sigh...

    I thought you couldn't buy Genie+...

    I bought our tickets for this week a month ago and was able to buy Genie+ with our tickets!

    Just back from Spring Break mini trip

    We were there the exact same days! I was so nervous about the crowds but it was totally doable - we'll all be thinking about that macaron for a long time :)

    Just back from Spring Break mini trip

    It was our family's first trip since 2019 and I was completely overwhelmed by having to learn about the app, Genie+, ILL/LL, the new rides, etc, etc...I was a ball of nerves and guess what? Best. Trip. Ever. Going to jot down some quick thoughts before I forget and hopefully encourage someone...

    Park Hop?

    We always do 2 days at DL and 1 day at DCA - always felt like that was the right mix for us. With EMH and Maxpass we definitely felt like we got everything we wanted in.

    Park Hop?

    We never park hop! Our youngest is 3 and I think when our kids are older and won’t tire as easily we would consider it. We like to get to the park early, always use EMH and did get MaxPass for our last trip and are pretty much done after dinner (with a short afternoon break in the hotel). We...

    Travel Package through Costco

    We have used Costco packages from our past 3 trips - we just got back and this is the first time they didn’t mail our tickets, vouchers, etc ahead of time. We picked up everything at GCH at check in. I priced out our hotel/tickets and Costco was cheaper for us

    Is not getting MaxPass going to break us?

    We consider ourselves to be on the frugal side - but since we only go to DLR every other year (save!), we do stay at one of the DLR hotels (spend!) and got MaxPass (spend!) to get the most out of the trip. It just depends on how much you’re willing to take on in terms of extra inconvenience to...

    *April 2019 - Check in*

    Just back! Posted a little update on the main thread but basically it was AWESOME and PACKED. Agree w PP who mentioned the security lines being under-manned. We would try to get there by 6:30 every morning so it wasn’t terrible but I could see how it would be a total bottleneck if you came...

    Just back 4/2-4/4 - quick thoughts!

    We did go back in the evenings! We would head back in at 4-ish and found that a lot of the crowds had thinned - still crowded but not shoulder-to-shoulder anymore. If people had been there since open without a break, I think around 4pm a lot of people were just done.

    Just back 4/2-4/4 - quick thoughts!

    30 min outside the gate got us in a good position to get on the rides we knew that would have lines that build super fast (PP and Alice) We would basically head back after lunch and after using up our FPs if we had any that would expire before we got back. By lunch it was just a madhouse

    Just back 4/2-4/4 - quick thoughts!

    This board is the most amazing resource- wanted to say thank you to all the veterans who contribute- esp Wonkakid for his tips for getting to PP and the experts who posted the Maxpass thread! Here's hoping my little update can help someone else! GCH/spring break crowds -GCH was a total splurge...

    GCH - better to have a daybed or pull-out sofa for family of 5?

    We have a 12 year old DS, 8 yo DD and 3yo DD. I want to request a room w 2 queens but not sure if it would be better/more spacious for sleeping to have the daybed or pull-out sofa? Most likely our 12 yo would be on the daybed or sofa. The last time we were there we had bunk beds! So sad they're...

    Question about Magic Morning Tickets?

    We always stay at GCH so we can get EMH but we only go to DLR every other year, we are early risers, and we need the room for afternoon naps. For us it is worth it, but depends on your family/touring style!

    *April 2019 - Check in*

    Family of 5 going Apr 2-4, staying two nights at GCH and super excited. We only get to go every other year so we get to splurge on the hotel. First trip without making any dining reservations- fingers crossed I don't regret it!
