    Everything Genie, Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane - Please Read Posts 1-7

    I have searched but can’t seem to find an answer to my park hopping question. I understand that I can use Genie + for both the first park I have the reservation for and that I can make Genie + LL for after 2 pm at the park I am hopping to. What I’m confused about is if these are considered two...

    Dining plan/discount for Disney Visa?

    So we pay with our magic bands which has our Disney Visa attached to it. To get the discount do we still need to bring the card or just tell them it’s on our account? Or can we show them a screen shot of it?

    First big RV trip and first time at FW

    We have a 33 ft travel trailer, 2017 Wildwood. Nothing fancy. Just one slide out. We call it Mater (because, “My names Mater. Like Tow-Mater”). And we pull with an F150 with all the towing upgrades.

    First big RV trip and first time at FW

    I hope you guys don’t mind a few extra questions! Is there a good place to stop near WDW for groceries where you can easily get into and park your entire rig? Ideally we never have to go except when the truck is unhitched, but just in case… How is it doing laundry at the Fort? We might try to...

    First big RV trip and first time at FW

    Great tips! Thank you! We have 6 Buc-ees within 50 miles of us but we *still* just had to stop at the one outside Gulf Shores on our spring break. Because apparently it’s not officially a road trip unless DH is tortured for 100 miles with a piece of Buc-ees beef jerky stuck between his molars...

    First big RV trip and first time at FW

    Wow, so much amazing advice!! Thank you all!! I am the type that will drive 10 hours straight. DH doesn’t like to drive more than 6. And he’s the driver, so I bow to him, lol. Our very first RV rental, what should have been a four hour trip took 7. We stopped about 6 times bc everything...

    Muster drill help for kid with sensitive ears

    My son has very sensitive ears (his is Autism/sensory related) and is just now getting to where 90% of the time he can use just his hands to plug his ears. What I learned was that you really really have to pay attention to what dB rating those headphones are for. Almost all the Amazon cute kid...

    what's your must eat at restaurant?

    I’m realizing all of our traditional places are chosen based upon if it’s an oasis from crowds/noise/sun. *We always did LTT for lunch but may not this time since it’s no longer a la carte for lunch. *Kringla for the pastries and the patio *Kona breakfast on our leaving day for the pressed...

    Halloween Time Superthread 2019: "Oogie Boogie Bash" Party to Be Held in DCA ONLY! and Other Halloween Time Information

    I think I'm hopelessly confused, lol. There are no villains in Villains Grove? So it's just a walk through? But did I read correctly that a long line still forms for it? We aren't interested in characters: DS6 gets creeped out and I'm not into it either. But he wants to trick or treat. Are the...

    New to DAS system

    Don't forget you can ask for a wheelchair tag for your stroller so that you can take it in places it might not otherwise be allowed. We only used it that way a few times but it was great For example, we were so glad we were able to take it into Character Spot. Even in the Fast Pass line it can...

    Tips for flying with 5 yr old with ASD

    My 5 year old is very high functioning, in fact his ADHD usually seems to cause more issues than the ASD. So some of the sensory issues for us are easier to handle than for others (soundproof headphones during take off so the trick for example). But oh my lord the fidgiting, the impulsivity...

    Christmas at Disney with Cancer

    So sorry for your diagnosis. Wishing you healing, strength and peace. My concern would be with your potentially weakened immune system. December is hell on even the healthiest, let alone the germ soup that is Disney. I would suggest a mask for you, and some serious rules in your group about the...

    DAS: split stay with cruise in between

    We are going to WDW and on DCL. We have a 3 day park hopper that will be used for 2 days before our cruise departs and one day the day our cruise returns (both times we are staying at WDW resorts). Now I've checked twice that our tickets can be used this way (it can, purchased before the new...

    Disney Cruise Adult only party-Worth the premium over other lines?

    My husband and I sailed DCL 3 times in our 30s, all before we had our DS. I cannot say enough about how great it was. DH and I are not partiers. Do we enjoy drinks? Yep. Nightlife? Sure. But we want to relax. We always steered far away from loud, crazy, and over-bearing. For one, DCL does such...

    Das for my son question

    Just chiming in to say that in April when we took our son (4yo at the time) after his dual diagnosis HFA and ADHD, it couldn't have been easier. We did ours in the late afternoon at the guest services outside Epcot. No one in line, which made it about as simple as it gets. My son stood off to...

    Disney Dream Bahamas Cruise January 28, 2019

    Hi! Just booked this cruise for myself (45), DH (41), and DS (5). DH and I have been on 3 DCL cruises, but the last one was 2011. I am fairly nervous about kids club too. DS has very high-functioning autism and ADHD. He's very social but boy does he forget the rules of personal space and that...
