    Special Early Entry Gates????

    We were there last week and had the room at the Grand Cal that was right at the Pixar entrance, and I can confirm that folks started lining up there about an hour prior to the start of early entry, but I can't tell you when they started letting them in (because once I realized there were dozens...

    Scathing report from Frommer's on Genie+/LL

    So, this is what it was like in the first few months after COVID. There were absolutely still really long lines. But they moved. You're much more willing to wait 90 minutes if you can tell you're moving up every time a new ride vehicle loads than if you're watching hundreds of people stroll past...

    My 1 day fun trip turns into 3 days :( (1/16/24)

    I know you probably just want to forget all about the airline issues, but I HIGHLY recommend you file a complaint at https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/file-consumer-complaint. Even if you cannot get any money back, when enough complaints pile up against one airline, the DOT can take...

    The Trip With An Abundance of Steven, A WDW Jan '23 TR ***Completed 8/8***

    Just wanted to say thank you for such a fun report and for a tip I used on my recent solo trip: buying the bath bombs on day 1 and using them each night -- BRILLIANT!! I didn't have the sweet tub your room did, but I looked forward to that soak every night, no matter how late it was. It's now a...

    Hurricane Idalia Chased Me Away From My Empty Nest Solo Trip...A Few Short Thoughts

    I'm sorry you had to cut your solo trip short. I actually arrived on 8/29 for my solo trip - I joked that I was racing Idalia to Florida. As someone else noted, that was a great week to be there, as the weather kept so many people away, though in WDW it ended up just being strong wind and heavy...

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Get Spooky!

    So, here's what I experienced at the 8/29 party -- if a lot of DAS users return at the same time, like after a parade or the fireworks wend, the LL lines can get extremely backed up. I was waiting for the Mickey M&G after the fireworks, and the Jack & Sally M&G LL was really backed up. Like...

    4 park days purchased, 5 showing on MDE

    I think the park reservation system has been doing some wonky stuff. I made my park reservations months ago when I purchased my hotel/ticket package, but about 2 weeks ago I got an email telling me to "make my park reservations" and when I went into the app, they were all mixed up, and some were...

    Ambitious 3-4 park hop in ONE day - help needed!

    Just seconding the sentiment that you should not underestimate how long it can take to get from one park to another using Disney buses. Coming from Disneyland, you're no doubt used to easily hopping from one park to another. But it's just not that simple if you're going anywhere but between...

    Discovery Cove Speculation

    We were there yesterday. It’s just like it sounds - you stand in about knee level water and they bring the dolphin about 10-15 feet away and go through a demonstration of the dolphins parts and some of the signals and behaviors they use. They said they are working with the dolphins to learn how...

    Sea World Reservation System

    me too. I have to reschedule our discovery cove date, because they are closed on my date, even though when I talked to them last week they said I was fine. And I had to switch to Explorer to get the page with the ticket ID #s to pop up, but now I can't get past it. This is so frustrating!!

    2020 Graduate Ears

    I was able to get last year's mortarboard hat in August. But there were no graduation headbands to be found anywhere.

    Same Day FP's

    Disney is doing a better job of advertising/explaining FP+, so the number of same day FPs are definitely lower than they were when the program was initially rolled out. That said, you can usually find something - the question is whether it's something you want to do. Do read through the sticky...

    A New Adventure Calls to Us- a Disneyland Paris TR extravaganza! COMPLETED 3/15

    She absolutely loved it. Her photos are incredible! Of course, now she will only use french salted butter and requires all baguettes to be no more than 12 hours fresh. :rotfl2:

    **Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    I was also there on Monday night, and it was a really great night. We entered just about at 7 pm through the event gate, and grabbed food/caffeine (we were at rope drop in Hollywood studios that morning for Rise of the Resistance), and sat in Adventureland for a bit to plan our evening. We had...

    A New Adventure Calls to Us- a Disneyland Paris TR extravaganza! COMPLETED 3/15

    I'm reliving my own Paris-DLP trip from last June through this report! I had the pleasure of delivering my 16 year old to a theater school (she spent 4 weeks in a 16th century chateau in Normandy with a private chef and WW2 relics scattered around the grounds, and SOMEONE had to make sure she...

    Someone talk to me about early January

    We've done the last weekend in January a couple of times. One year, it was seriously low crowds. The last time coincided with Disney hosting the pro bowl at wide world of sports, so it wasn't as empty as we remembered, but still really doable. And while it was a bummer that parks didn't have...
