    Anyone check into WDW resort TODAY

    You say that you pulled FP- with UCT tickets, which is what I want to be able to do. Did you also link your UCT tickets in MDE and, therefore, use FP+? I have my UCT tickets in-hand, but I have hesitated to link them in MDE because I don't want to close off the possibility of pulling FP-...

    High school band going to Disney

    EPCOT probably has the largest number and the largest variety of music-related educational opportunities than do any of the other parks. To the list provided by WINTHROPF, I would add the musical score of the movie in "Impressions de France". It includes some of the most recognizable (and...

    Attn Atlanta to WDW Drivers

    When planning to come through Atlanta on Saturdays in the Fall, you should check the Georgia Tech football schedule. Game times are not generally announced until a couple of weeks before game day. On your particular travel day ---- October 26 ---- Tech has an away game, so it won't be a...

    My son and his wife are there now. They are staying at POFQ, which is not currently part of the Magicband & FP+ testing. He texted me that everything is working out great solely using regular FP.

    Driving down from Indy, any tips?

    I've lived and driven in Atlanta for over 30 years. The advice to take I285 around Atlanta on the west side is good advice --- in general. However, in my opinion, you can get in trouble by making assumptions concerning traffic levels or road accessibility in Atlanta ---- regardless of day...

    September - Magic Bands?

    Do I understand correctly that you were invited to participate in the test without having your tickets linked on MDE? I was understanding that an invite to participate required that you have tickets linked in MDE. Clearly, I may have been wrong. It's all very confusing!

    King Bed, 3 person occupancy

    This is true, but you cannot guarantee having a King room with a Murphy bed. As OP mentioned in the original posting, POR has King Room as a bookable category with the Murphy bed by request. King rooms in AB have the Murphy bed; King rooms in Mansions do not. However --- and this is just a...

    285 around Atlanta?

    This! Hopefully you have cell phones with internet access so that you can check the 511 website while you are in your car as you are approaching Atlanta. Check it the night before, and check it again the day of your drive through Atlanta. Be prepared for either route. As recommended in...

    Sevierville TN questions

    This is accurate advice -- however, I am going to suggest that you not totally eliminate the possibility of taking 441 through the mountains, one way or the other. If you would like to "enjoy the journey", taking 441 is a great way to do that. If you just want to arrive at your destination as...

    bus it or drive to park hop?

    We like to drive. We don't like being at the mercy of the bus schedules, particularly mid-day when they don't seem to run as frequently. Even to and from MK we are probably 50-50 car-bus. We'd rather be moving than to be sitting waiting for a bus. I won't swear that car is faster. I...

    Crowd level should change my plans?

    I doubt that one week later will make much of a difference in the temperature from the week before. In any given year, temps could be either higher or lower or the same depending on how the weather fronts do or don't come through. But you can't know that at this time. Even rainfall as a...

    Booking now and discount later?

    It is my understanding that cost-wise it would be the same; i.e., the TAs have access to the same discounts and promotions as you would have directly with Disney. The primary reason that I use a TA (I love Dreams Unlimited) is because I am relieved of the burden of needing to monitor for...

    Disney booking down???????

    Dreams Unlimited informed its clients yesterday that the reservation system would be down today until "late morning" for reservation system enhancements. Of course, DU did further remark what we all know --- that sometimes the enhancements take longer than planned.

    Is it worth it?!!?

    I have stayed at both resorts and love both. If I were in your situation, I would not want to think of my resort selection as making my Christmas better or worse. That's an awful lot of importance to be placing on that single decision. You are going to be spending Christmas with your...

    When is Spring Break?

    There will still be some Spring Break crowds probably through mid-April. Where I live (metro-Atlanta), Spring Break will be April 7-11. This is one of the large county systems in the metro area. All of the other school systems in the area (and throughout Georgia) will likely be that same week...

    Mousekeeping took my dd's blankie (photo added)

    Dont't forget to include your contact info --- phone, email, and mailing address. Sure, they could probably find it with some research. But you want to make it easy and quick for them to locate you if they do find it.

    Mousekeeping took my dd's blankie (photo added)

    I agree with this advice. Even though you have already inquired, it may be helpful for your issue to be "in writing" somewhere. We had this to happen to us probably 20 years ago. My son had a little stuffed white rabbit that he slept with. We left it on the bed when we went out for the...
