My family and I are going to WDW for the first time ever in June! We always go to Disneyland, but we have yet to use Genie Plus! I need some tips on what is the very first ride we should book in Magic Kingdom! We are thrill seekers over here! Any tips on the order in which I should book our...

An Introduction: “Welcome Foolish Mortals!” I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty impressed. It’s only taken me 2 weeks since being back home to start this trip report. That, my friends, is what we call self improvement. But also, don’t expect it to ever happen again. There’s only so much improving I...

Help needed navigating the TTC! Our family is planning to rope drop MK from the Swan Reserve in a couple of weeks and I just learned the Disney bus from the Swan will be dropping us at the TTC, not the park. I've never been to the TTC before and don't know how much time to bank in for this...

Going to book our first tour. 👏🏼👍 Wondering what people think of length of time is good? How far can you get on 10 hours?🤷🏻‍♂️ How do we eat without losing valuable time? In order to shore up touring plans, where do you enter the parks? Can we meet our guide at a ride to start the clock? My...

I have a breakfast ADR at steakhouse 71 during my trip. I will be staying at another property resort, plan to park my own vehicle at the contemporary for breakfast, and then head over to Magic Kingdom afterwards until after lunch. I’ve had no issue parking at the contemporary (when I dine there)...

Hi! We are staying at Poly from Oct 4-8 and looking for outdoor, low crowd activities that will help us avoid the anniversary masses. (Even though Touring Plans has MK at a crowd level of 2 on Oct 5 and a “1” on Oct 7…??? I’m so confused by their predictions for that week. We are waiting to buy...

I have a current trip planned for the week of New Year's Eve. I have reservations to be in the Magic Kingdom on New Years Eve. My question is, where do you recommend I eat for dinner that day? Should I stay within the park the whole day, since it'll be very crowded I assume? What's some tips you...

While there are threads for the overall 50th-anniversary celebration that will run for 18 months, this is the place to solely chat about planning and strategies for those with park reservations at the Magic Kingdom on the big anniversary itself, 10/1/21! So if you're planning to be in Magic...

Hi All, We have a Disney Magic Kingdom Board Game - it's the theme park edition with bonus monorail. Are there any collectors here that would be interested? I am currently looking to get more information and possibly sell to someone who would appreciate it more than myself. Apologies if...

I'm not too sure if I'm allowed to do this, but I have a big problem :( My family and I are going to Orlando (from Los Angeles) for our new graduate (doctor) in the family. As I was planning the park reservations I was able to do EVERYONE in my family's except mine (7/8 reservations). I...

So my 60 day mark to book dining reservations was today and I was up since 5:30AM refreshing the Disney website to book Be Our Guest for my birthday dinner. Thank God I succeeded, however, I noticed today that there’s a $308 charge on my credit card. I remember seeing in the reservation page...

Question: What would you think if (either retroactively or in the future) Disney created a 5th gate that was Sci-fi themed with lands for Star Wars, Pandora, Tron, Marvel, & Buzz Lightyear. This would include Guardians: Cosmic Rewind and the Tron rollercoaster. Then they would (or would have)...

Ryno is taking you on a shopping trip to the Magic Kingdom Emporium! This Walt Disney World gift shop is the largest merchandise location at Magic Kingdom, so let's see what it has to offer!

Visiting Walt Disney World may seem stressful in a world without FastPass+. How else can you accomplish all you want in the parks? Luckily, since reopening from COVID-19 closures, Disney has typically over-posted wait times for all of their attractions, and a day at Magic Kingdom can prove it!

Hello! I am working on planning a trip for me and a couple family members. Its primarily a Universal Orlando trip but I am throwing in a couple Disney days. I have plans to do Magic Kingdom one day and Hollywood Studios one day for certain with my family members, however, there is a day that I...
