    Travel to Epcot for early tour

    Just reporting back in case anyone else is interested in the answer. We did an Uber, which worked fine, but was totally unnecessary. They do not open the bag check line until 7:45 am, so no need to arrive before that time. I saw at least two monorails arrive prior to that time. So we could have...

    Looking for impressions on new free backstage tours at Rafiki's Planet Watch: TOURS ENDED MAY 19th!

    We took the tour last Tuesday (May 15) and my husband and I were the only ones for the 2:45 pm tour and no one was signed up for the 3:45 tour when we checked in. You don't need to sign up early. We did go out earlier and saw the 11:30 am "It all started with a Mouse" show which was a nice...

    Travel to Epcot for early tour

    We have a trip upcoming in May. We have the DVC Soarin' Tour at Epcot scheduled at 8 am on a Wednesday. We are staying at the Polynesian. Can we walk over to the TTC and take the Epcot monorail and get there in time? What time does the Epcot monorail start? Do they run buses from Poly to Epcot...

    Soarin' Around the World

    I was lucky and I was able to book the tour for our vacation in May. I called right when they opened at 180 days. The cast member was excited that she was able to actually book the tour - it was the first time she was able to do so. It turns out it is the same day as the AK Moonlight Magic, so...

    AK Moonlight Magic

    Does anyone know if they will be showing Rivers of Light during Moonlight Magic in May? If we will have a chance to see ROL during Moonlight Magic, I will cancel our ROL dinner at Tusker's and just do a regular dinner.

    Tell me about AK moonlight magic and how best to book

    It looks like the May event aligns with our trip. We will be going to Epcot that day - I managed to get the DVC Soarin Around the World Tour that morning. The DVC CM was excited as it was the first time she actually was able to book it. :) If we do get the Moonlight Magic, I'm thinking we should...

    ROL dining package at Tiffins

    I see that the ROL package includes an appetizer, but the dining plan normally does not. If you use the dining plan credits, do you still get the appetizer? I also saw that for 2018, alcohol drinks are included with the dining plan. Do you think they will be excluded if you have the ROL? (i.e...

    Just got into be our guest!!!

    If you are talking about lunch, it only shows you two options at a time, even though there may be many, many more choices available. So if the times aren't what you really want, refresh the page to get two new choices. Continuing refreshing until you get a choice you like. We will be visiting...

    Breakfast when doing early entry

    Thank you for all the ideas. It sounds like Orchard Lounge and/or bringing oatmeal packets would work for us. Figured we would need to use early entry to ride Gringotts and to tour Diagon Alley when it is less crowded. Otherwise I am not worked since we have Express Pass. We've stayed on site...

    Breakfast when doing early entry

    We will be staying at Royal Pacific. Since they do not have refrigerators in the room, I wonder what you do for breakfast when you are doing early entry. Between having to get up early to get in line and many places not open that early, what do you eat for breakfast and from where? I would want...

    Wishes vs Holiday Wishes

    We will be doing MVMCP and I plan to watch the Holiday Wishes show that night. We will also be visiting MK on a Wednesday night when they will be having the Electrical parade and Wishes. How different are the firework shows? Also the projection show before hand - is it the same both nights? I...

    Recommendations for Dinner before Mickey's VM Christmas Party

    We will be doing the same thing - AK followed by MVMCP on 12/9. I figured we will go and try and eat at Cosmic Ray's or Columbia Harbor House for dinner. But an option I'm considering is to eat at Mara's at AKL. We are staying at ADL (Kidani actually) and I figure we will probably have to stop...

    frozen activities

    Interesting rumor about the fireworks. If true, i.e. the sing along will continue but not the fireworks, it makes my planning easier. We are going in early Dec and I have HS planned for a Thursday. I was wondering if I needed to switch to a weekend day if they were continuing the fireworks on...

    AAA rates vs AP

    I'll be staying Dec 6 & 7 nights, probably at RPR. I have AAA. What is the normal discount for AAA? I know I will have to call to get it. What is the discount for annual (power) pass? I am planning on 2 day park to park tickets currently, but if the AP will save a sufficient amount, I'll...

    DVC + cash room at Universal or WDW?

    We first went to Universal when my youngest was 10 and I think she was on the border of being too young to enjoy some of the rides that year. But it become a favorite and we always added two nights at Universal hotels to get the FOTL access. While others are correct in that there are rides...

    Waitlist at AKL Kadani

    I switched from VWL to AKL Kadani at 7 months. However a 1 bedroom Savannah view was not available our first night, Dec 8. So I have a standard view booked and am waitlisted for the savannah view. I was able to get the savanna view for the other 6 nights, Dec 9-15. I'm assuming the waitlist...
