There must still be a fair amount of sorcerer, incredi , or grandfathered in older passes as Pixie Dust & Pirate are blocked out…. I’m hoping that by the time my mom renews from silver into pirate there will still be some AP availability for mid June/early July if we get locked out of previews

I don't think you need a park pass if you get a preview reservation. On another thread, they were saying that you were able to enter Epcot for Remi previews in addition to having another park pass reservation.

I haven't watched it since Simon left. Actually, I haven't watched network TV in probably 10 years.

I hear ya!! Actually, that is the ONLY show I watch on network TV!! We have just been watching since it started and one of the shows we actually all sit down and watch together!!

Haven't had cable tv in over a decade and watched a bit here and there at the hotel over the past 2 weeks and the amount of commercials is insane. It's honestly unwatchable, I can't wait until all the resorts have TV's that can cast so you can watch from your streaming accounts.

Oh I know I was talking about making a park pass in June or July AFTER the ride opened in case I was shut out of a preview (I’ve been a passholder for YEARS and ratatouille was the first preview I’ve ever made it into ) because until moms blocked out from making any summer reservations till her silver rolls into a pirate the second week of june

We’ll be in the cabins the beginning of May. I hope it isn’t too disruptive

Does anyone know if &/or how you can park a sprinter van in the regular parking lots at the parks? Like do I need to get special permission or is there a different parking area etc.?

So you just go through regular gates? Do they make you park far out or can you still pay for preferred?

They even have room to park this. Just go through the regular gates and the CMs will direct you on where to park. A Sprinter van will likely just go with the regular cars, but they will have you take 2 spots (straddle the line). That's what they did when I had my old crewcab, long bed dually.

Much needed for the Fort! WiFi was decent around the Pioneer Hall and Settlement / Outpost areas, but could be a coin flip in a lot of other areas. Hopefully they are really focusing on COVERAGE over speed as I'm sure there are plenty of complaints with the early morning G+ rush.

Good Morning All!!

That's EXACTLY what I did, was sitting here freaking out thinking I missed something, LOL!

I still think I'm going to be down there too early to catch an AP preview, but I'm still hoping for some pixie dust.

Oh yeah. I wish I could talk DH into cutting the cord. We're 7 months or so out of a gubernatorial race here in CT, and I'm not exaggerating, we're already being deluged with political ads on both sides pretty much every other commercial.

Walt Disney World Wait Times for First Week of April 2022​

 

[rangerxenos]

Does anyone know if there is a chance that they'll extend the hours for the parks for the rest of the month? Pretty sure at one point I read that Disney sometimes does this week by week, but I could be misremembering. Hoping that at the very least they'll extend the hours at AK until at least 8, otherwise I don't see how they can do any projections on the Tree of Life?

Good chance they will, updated hours drop on Fridays, around midday or early afternoon
