    2018 Free Dining Watch Thread V3

    Couldn't figure it out either. Just booked a new reservation with the free dining and cancelled the original.

    2018 Free Dining Watch Thread V3

    Free dining appears to begin 8/2 for Visa cardholders. Is there a way online to book this or does it have to be a phone call?

    CSR Business Class

    Just switched from POFQ to CSR Business Class for an early fall trip due to POFQ counter service refurb. We've never stayed at CSR before and have never done any sort of club level or concierge before. We primarily booked Business Class to ensure a room close to the main lobby/dining (as that...

    POFQ QS Refurb?

    Can anyone confirm or have dates for the POFQ QS refurb? Will the entire QS be shut down for this period of time?

    Making Reservations Is An Adventure

    Online starts at 6am eastern and phones start at 7am. Definitely go the online route if that is your preference anyway.

    Magic Kingdom "Family of the Day"

    What does being family of the day entail? Is it just for the pre-opening show? Are there other perks? Don't you actually miss RD because you are on the train when they release the crowds? Sorry, lots of questions, never met a real live family of the day before.

    Jedi Training Signups Today (5/24/16)

    At 8:10 how did you know 3 of the 4 ADR lines converted to JTA lines? Did you already have an idea that this would happen ahead of time? Was there an announcement made? Did they change the signs? I'm curious if everyone there at 8:10 was made aware of the JTA lines.

    Small disappointments

    When your kids get old enough to ask, "what do they want with the redhead?"

    Small disappointments

    This is probably the best disappointments list I have ever read. I was literally crushed when I found out I can no longer get a dole whip swirl with vanilla and pineapple. That was undoubtedly my favorite Disney memory. Can we get a petition started? If they can bring back the original...

    Suggestions for First Half Day at MK??

    First trip to WDW - wow - how exciting! It can definitely be overwhelming but you've come to the right place for advice on parks and planning. Arrival day is a great day to explore the parks. As noted above, you will be arriving on a fairly busy day, but with FP+ you can pick three headliners...

    "Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2016 - Have Yourself a Very Mickey Christmas.

    Yes, I'll have to remind myself to not get snippy. In my head I'll be counting the minutes while trying to act like everything is going just as planned. I figured we'll be cutting it close. I suppose even if we don't get there until 5pm it would just mean one less FP+. Thanks for the play...

    "Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2016 - Have Yourself a Very Mickey Christmas.

    It's not that entering between 4-7 is a bad idea. Just about every party guest will arrive in that window to maximize party time. I believe the post you are referencing was just noting that crowds will be higher during that time and guests will both be entering and leaving the park, creating a...

    Because nobody understands how great this is...

    Congrats on your reservations. As a fellow Disney Dad responsible for planning, I understand the pressure. Also, congrats on your positive attitude. You got Ohana, CM and BOG late in your trip - but you got them! Many people end up with similar results and complain that they couldn't get...

    is this MIK strategy true for end of June

    If you are at the front of RD, then yes, you can do 7DMT, SM then BTMR with little to no waits. If you are in the middle of the RD pack 7DMT could be a 45 minute wait by the time you get there.

    November vs February

    My wife and I did February in back to back years with DD3/4 & DS1/2. My wife ran the Princess Half Marathon each time. The crowds were great. The weather was definitely cooler than we would have hoped for each time but with the kids that small they were mostly interested in rides/characters...

    Contemporary vs. Port Orleans FQ

    I agree with the comments above but just wanted to add some thoughts. Coincidentally, my family is booked for POFQ in November. I find the biggest advantage of staying on the monorail line is the convenience to MK. For families spending the majority of their time there, it is so easy to...

    Help me prioritize order of importance!

    Ohana will be challenging on Day 1. With free dining for parts of Nov/Dec the character/buffet meals book up quickly as they are perceived as high value compared to the cost of paying cash.
