    The 2016 Disney Parks Moms Panel Search Begins!

    Has anyone had problems logging on for the Round 2 application? I am using the same name and password as Round 1 and there is no application. Just takes me to the Moms Panel page. I'm assuming others have had problems given an email went out today from the Panel, but I have no idea how we are...

    Multiple consecutive DVC reservations and Magic Band confusion

    I didn't know that! I thought they sent them to you regardless if you personalized them. I'll do that for the next trip. We actually have 28 of them total. More than we need!! Thanks for the tip!!!!

    Spring Break or 1st week of June?

    First week of June! We've done that week several years. It is hot, but crowds are manageable. We had the first week of June booked this year again, but had to move it back one week due to the number of snow days we had. It was WAY more crowded than we've ever experienced in the first week...

    Multiple consecutive DVC reservations and Magic Band confusion

    You will have more MagicBands than you know what to do with. I'm starting to get annoyed with that. I wish they gave you an option NOT to get new bands if you already have some. It is too much to try to keep track. We have APs and have stayed at four different hotels over the last year...

    In's and Out's of Aulani

    We stayed at Aulani six months ago. We definitely loved renting a car. I saw very little discrepancies in pricing compared to what we normally pay on the mainland. Aulani is in a developing area of Oahu. There is a Costco and Target nearby. The prices at Costco were on par with the prices...

    Still undecided about online checkin

    I wouldn't say online check-in has ever saved us a ton of time, but it has cut the time at the check-in counter some. For what it's worth, online check-in has nothing to do with room availability. We've done online check-in and had to wait for a room, and done counter check-in and had to wait...

    Loved the Magic Bands and oly one glitch...a warning to those with AP vouchers

    We had vouchers and Disney IT assisted us linking those into MDE. When we went to redeem the vouchers, we had a fabulous CM at Animal Kingdom when we exchanged the vouchers to tickets and she linked everything for us. Everything went very smoothly and I did NOTHING once we redeemed the...

    Now I understand the complaining about FP+

    We were there Columbus weekend and used FP+ for the first time. I was VERY hesitant, but I must say I liked it. We could only use three FP, which was less than we normally used, but it was more calculated and we didn't have to do the mad dashes at HS to get TSM tickets (or other rides). To...

    I am officially terrified of DHS.

    We were there last week and I'll reiterate what others have said. If you have two adults, split up to do Jedi Training Academy sign up and TSM Fastpass. RNR Fastpass is way easier to get than TSM, so get TSM first. And we've been very big WDW people for the past four years going multiple...

    How many trips under your belt before...

    Yes, you can wing it SO LONG as you are not obsessed about hitting everything or anything particular. If you want to hit particular things, plan those things and only those things. We had a few set things on our last trip and the rest was waking up and deciding what to do. We enjoyed it...

    Thank you to whomever first mentioned Chase Fireworks Location!

    Ugh!! Didn't know about the viewing area! We were at the Chase Lounge Sunday (DSs loved the drink dispenser!), but I didn't know about a viewing area. We weren't there til late (like 7:30-8:00), so perhaps bands were gone by then. Thanks for that info, though!

    We had a Magic Band first (supposedly)

    Just returned from a great 5-night AoA/Bay Lake Tower stay. We used Magic Bands ALMOST without a hitch. On the third day, however, we went to Hollywood Studios and the machines wouldn't "green light" me and my oldest DS. They claimed my pink band, which had worked fine for two days and had...

    Chicago DVCers going to MSI?

    Absolutely! We loved the Seuss and MythBusters exhibits they brought to MSI. I'm sure this will be great, as well!

    AP Voucher from Disney Store Bad Experience

    MDE recognizes certain vouchers. I have four of them from a DVC promo last year, so they are more recent than OP's and not the same issue. We loaded the vouchers into MDE, even though not a live ticket. We will be activating them in Oct. I spoke with IT yesterday about whether I'd have to...

    Magic Bands 101

    We have a split stay at AoA for two nights and BLT for three nights over Columbus weekend. We are DVC members and AP holders (currently with a voucher that will be redeemed when we arrive). A few things to note: -- One day about a month ago I logged on MDE and there was FP+ availability...

    Any OCTOBER guests received FP+ testing invite?

    Just when I think I have WDW under control, they throw FP+ and Magic Bands into the mix! I'm so turned around that I know I've posted some questions on DisBoards about this, but I can't find them! Anyway, we are DVC members and I have not heard A WORD from DVC about any of this. We are...

    Annual Pass Holders and MyMagicPlus

    I am soooo lost on this FP+ thing. We are DVC members and doing a split stay at Art of Animation and BLT in October. I had exchange certificates for our PAP (we already paid for them and will get the actual tickets when we arrive in Oct). Just a couple of days ago, IT helped me link the...

    HELP! MDE + Exchange Certificate = FP+?

    Thanks! Glad that it works! I just spent 25 minutes on phone with ticketing and Internet support. They were able to link the tickets to MDE! Whew! Apparently our testing period isn't even open yet (for Columbus weekend?), so I guess I was freaking out over nothing at this point. Now the...

    HELP! MDE + Exchange Certificate = FP+?

    I am completely lost with this FP+ and MDE. We have Exchange Certificates for the PAP that was on special for DVC members through 12/31/12. Instead of letting tickets sit at Will Call for 10 months until I activate the PAP this Oct, I thought I'd get Exchange Certificates. So I have four of...

    Ever get stuck in a ride?

    After numerous trips to WDW, we just visited DL for the first time this past June. We had never been stuck on a ride. However, at DL, we got stuck on Indiana Jones about 1 minute into the ride. We waited for about 30 minutes (with lights on and workers walking back and forth) and then had to...
