    Glad your dad made it home and their home is okay. Smoke is pretty awful. We are pretty close to one of the evacuation zones but they have contained it enough that we are not currently in the “packed and ready to go” area. All safe here and hoping we brought back some of that Florida rain 🌧...

    We made it to my parents by driving through the night in a rental car. The things we do for a Disney vacation 😂. We had a good time at Disney during a unique time in history. I hope that everyone else has a good trip too ( a safe and uneventful one too).

    Our flight home is today. Currently we are stuck in the Seattle airport and the airlines cancelled all flights home due to smoke from the wildfires. They were kind enough to schedule our return flight on Wednesday 😳👎. Wishing we could have been stuck in Orlando with all of you at wdw or just...

    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    I noticed a lot more people checking in if Fridays. CMs have said the weekends have been more busy than during the weekdays. We have noticed this to be true at universal and Disney. one of the front desk cms mentioned that Jambo pool bar is also open for the weekend. I wish they had some...

    i am always checking too...it is 2020 after all 🤪. Right now our home state is covered in smoke so I suppose I figure that we just have to be alert to whatever we can and try our best to roll with the punches. We are here in wdw now and I have been watching the same sites you are. We will be...

    Just a little park update: So Labor Day weekend at Universal, busy and many not wearing masks, I did not hear/see any staff person enforce mask wearing either. Prior to Labor Day weekend the parks were empty with walk on most rides. Temperature checks were performed at both the parks and uni...

    Checked in for our flight ✈️. Looks like there is room. Usually I pack ahead but I just finished packing a few minutes ago 😳 I guess it really is going to happen. One bag to check and three carry ons. This trip seems a little surreal for me. Just grateful to get to go!

    I have been debating about a rental car for this trip and thought about asking everyone’s thoughts and see these posts...great timing 😁 I am still trying to figure out if a rental car is something we want to try this time because I REALLY did not want to drive and I didn’t want to pay for...

    Received our Magic bands yesterday...it makes it seem more real but not with the usual excitement of previous trips. I have to admit that up to this point, I have just been waiting for the "other shoe to drop" aka an announcement of a travel ban, airline cancellation, natural disaster...

    There is the Epcot food and wine? This would sound more convincing and exciting if park hopper was available... :rolleyes:

    I am hoping you were not DVC, is that correct? I was unable to get Oga's, Topolinos and Beaches & Cream... I was finally able to get Beaches today. Changed plans for Topolino's and was reminded by this thread of Homecomin'...we will try there instead. After reading here, I think we are going...

    I should count myself lucky then...this is the first time I have ever had a flight change. Thank you for posting about checking for seat changes, when I looked they had our party of 3 in 3 different rows. I attempted changing our seats online but it would not update (the app did not work...

    Thank you for posting this because I had no notification. I opened the app to see a notification and then had to call. Do they even compensate for these changes? This was more $ as it was direct. Ugh

    They are not available yet on the Disney site. Also, I have no insider knowledge of if or when it will be available 😏

    In the past, I have purchased a single ap for my party mainly for the room discount (and other discounts). I had to do the math to determine if it made sense cost wise. In our case, we were buying 10 day parkhoppers with no additional visits that year. Financially, it was a better deal to...

    mine is also this week...although I will be at the hospital as my sister’s birth partner (y’all don’t think she will mind if I take a break to schedule our ADRs?😂). I am not done rescheduling our first half of trip because of the cruise cancellation. I have been hesitant...like I am waiting...
