    Here now. Bought Magic Bands. Checking in tomorrow

    We are in Orlando and bought magic bands. I still have the receipt for 2 "plain" magic bands for $12.99 each. I just decided to stay the last night on property. We should get magic bands at check in. Since I have my receipt, do you think they will give me a refund or disney gift card credit?

    Be Our Guest Dinner...just desserts?

    We have an O'Hana dinner reservation at 4pm and a Be Our Guest at 9:05pm. I was going to drop the O'Hana reservation but the Be Our Guest menu doesn't look wonderful for my picky kids;particularly that late. What if we went and just get desserts at BOG? That way we could do both. Thoughts?

    How's the FP+ situation for off-siters?

    I couldn't get 7DMT either at first, but another poster recommended I split my group of 5 up and I did that with 3 and 2 and was able to get the fast passes within 20 minutes of each other. So try just modifying 1 or 2 of your part of 5 and see if 7DMT opens up. I got a FP for 2 the first time I...

    How's the FP+ situation for off-siters?

    I am staying offsite and I just booked FP for 18 days from now and I got 7DMT, BTMRR and Splash Mountain on a Saturday. So for me, it wasn't a problem.

    FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

    Thank you! I split them and I was able to snag 3 and 2 within 20 minutes of each other. They are really late, but at least we have them. We also are going on After 5 convention tickets, so rope drop isn't an option for us. But we have SDMT, BTMRR and Splash Mountain!

    FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

    Last minute Trip is in 3 weeks and FP for SDMT are gone. Should I keep checking or just resign myself to stand by? Is it like dining reservations where I should check back a few days before or for SDMT when the FP are gone, they are gone? Party of 5 and my girls are adamant to ride if they don't...

    What was the biggest Disney meltdown you've witnessed?

    Probably one of the most haunting experiences of hearing a knock down, drag out fight happened at the Grand Floridian in another hotel room about 3am one morning in 2011. I woke up to shouting. shrieking and sobbing that went on for probably 5 minutes before I made a call to the front desk. I...

    CRT Reservations at 9:40PM and Fireworks at 9PM or 10PM?

    Thank you for your response. It actually seems like it would be much more enjoyable to watch the fireworks from Fantasyland and then casually enjoy dinner without worrying about getting into the dining room before fireworks begin, time until fireworks, table near the window, etc.

    CRT Reservations at 9:40PM and Fireworks at 9PM or 10PM?

    So I think I was lucky to get a newly added reservation for CRT at 9:40PM. There are several available the week I am going (mid-June). Fireworks are currently scheduled for 9PM but I think they've added the extra reservations because they might be extending park hours. I'm curious whether...

    JUNE 2017! CANCELLED ADR Thread - Guidelines in first post

    Just cancelled BOG for 8:40PM June 11 for 5. I noticed they have CRT at 9:40PM for 4 on June 11 and CRT at 9:40PM for 5 on June 10. Looks like they opened up some CRT tables that week for late reservations; hoping park hours will be extended, too!

    Parks Parking late in the day, FREE?

    Thank you all for your responses. I knew it likely wasn't an everyday thing, but after it happened twice, it had me wondering if there was an unofficial FREE parking lot entry time. I won't be going at 6AM :), but I might try to make it closer to 7PM than 6:30PM ; particularly if MK is open...

    Parks Parking late in the day, FREE?

    I was at a convention at an offsite hotel two years ago, and I had twilight convention tickets. Two nights I got to Magic Kingdom at 7 PM or later and they let me enter the parking lots for free on both evenings without talking with the attendant. It appeared that anyone who was arriving at that...

    2013 Hilton Head lovers thread

    Our family home will be a 2-bedroom for Easter weekend. Help me with deciding if there's a better area to request. We have 3 children ages 4, 8 and 12 (all girls). Assuming weather is good, my girls will likely be at the pool a good bit. They also love crafts. The older 2 could bike together...

    HAVING A GRAND OLD TIME! The 2013 Grand Floridian Resort & Villas FAQ

    We are considering going in April and we might take my in-laws. So I am trying to decide if we would rather do 2 Sugar Loaf rooms that would include club level. Or, if we opt for a 2 bedroom GF villa standard view. They are basically the same cost. So at Sugar Loaf, we'd get the food...

    WDW "Vacation A Day" Contest!

    I am fully expecting to find the FedEx document on my doorstep today when I arrive home since I've been gone for few days. I'm sure I likely gave my home phone, and my phone probably decided to spam the email...that's it right? The package will be waiting with gold beams springing forth as I...

    WDW "Vacation A Day" Contest!

    I have been watching this thread everyday and entering. Yesterday I was on the phone and someone rang the front doorbell. I looked at the door and there was a FedEx person standing there. I truly swooned. I opened the door all smiles and he had a box from Ebay. Bummer!
