    Annual Passes Resume April 13 (DVC) April 20 (General Public)

    I am all set! Took a bit on the phone and she said everything is very slow with processing so if you have a wait while it figures itself out to hang on! The call back feature did work for anyone that might be a skeptic like I was. I had a pass from when they were available post COVID for a...

    Annual Passes Resume April 13 (DVC) April 20 (General Public)

    For people able to get through on the phone so quickly - are you buying new or upgrading tickets? I got through about an hour ago and they had to transfer me to another area to upgrade and indicated I would get a call back but still waiting ETA - as I was typing this out I got my call back...

    Annual Passes Resume April 13 (DVC) April 20 (General Public)

    I have been in the queue but also trying to call and still have not even been able to get a call through! We have an unused ticket we want to upgrade but if we can't manage to get through on the phones I guess we'll just save that for another time or the kids. I'm starting to think I do this...

    I want my magic band+

    I’m not very tech savvy - but do we think if it runs out of battery there is the standard backup RFID battery that is currently utilized that you could still use in the parks for your ticket, purchases, etc. and just the extra features will run off the charge?

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    Any updates on the pool bar construction? Also - while they're working on it do they still have the servers walking around for drink orders or is that not happening now? Thanks!

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    Thank you thank you! I'm obsessed so I'm not surprised he liked it. My DH was joking about how he would be further in his streak than me because I'm going with his mom and he's staying home this trip but now I'll be able to keep it going while there. Maybe I shouldn't tell him this...

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    Question about the fitness center - has anyone noticed if there is a Peloton there? It wasn't on the website but I saw it reported elsewhere that they may have added one so looking to see if anyone has seen it in there. Want to avoid my streak ending if I can while we're there in March :)

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    Yep! Walked through yesterday and people were in there swimming! It takes up a chunk of that side of the seating and loungers that would be towards Whitewater (sorry didn't get any pics)

    Club 33 Question

    We got very lucky and a friend of mine knows a member who asked if we wanted to go. Of course I jumped on the chance but I do have a question for those of you who have been.. Do you need to let them know about allergies or vegetarian needs before going or is that something that can be handled...

    Holiday Decorations

    We will be in the parks on 11/1 and 11/2. I have been in WDW For the switchover but wondering what it is like in Disneyland! Will we see any decorations? Do they take all the Halloween down immediately and wait to put up Christmas or do they do the switchover right away as well? So excited...

    Any recent Lyft/Uber experiences? (from Disney to Port)

    Thank you! I was worried about that... I'm thinking I might try to grab a value resort for the night and make my husband get up early for extra magic hours at Magic Kingdom then head back to the resort and grab a lyft. It's a non DCL cruise but we're coming to the parks for the day Monday...

    Any recent Lyft/Uber experiences? (from Disney to Port)

    Has anyone done this later at night from MCO? We’re not getting in until late, 1030, and plan to go to port that night instead of staying on property. I have checked and it seems available at that time but looking for any experiences. Still thinking maybe on site then Lyft in the morning might...

    So sorry, missed the question! It is a 6" cake and we got chocolate cake with cookies and cream. I was worried it would be too much but with the fondant and the buttercream attaching the fondant it was perfect!

    How long to wait for a reservation

    I have left a couple times after checking in with no penalty - I just ask at the counter if I can get my name removed and have talked to the manager once to confirm it was OK. I want to say it was around the 30-45 minute mark each time when we were visiting at busier times. Usually I just say...

    Anyone else having issues with My Disney Experience?

    My son is still missing. I made everything months ago and there is just a random 7 year old on my room reservation but all our FP are one person less. I'm hoping when their system straightens back out he just pops back in there but we leave next Saturday so I need ti to happen before then so I...
