Official March 2022 thread!

Also EPCOT is opening at 8:30AM starting Feb 28 and at least through March 19th. I am not sure if World Showcase will get an early opening.

This is huge. Any idea if you can still buy 2 a day if park hopping?

For ILLs? I believe you can.

I feel like I'm the ADR fairy lol, even more evening ADRs are being added for the week of 3/6 go get em!

I saw nothing, groaned, refreshed, and then there was tons of stuff! Craziness!

Awesome! Now if a Space 220 lounge would magically appear for March 14th I would be very happy!

Meanwhile I'm going to excessively overpack like 3 weeks of outfits for just one week

I am actually trying to do carry on only for this trip but it is going to be HARD!

I mean, "do I need two themed Disney tshirts for each park day daily with matching hats or ears?" outfit changing

That is the only kind of outfit changing I understand at Disney!

Park reservations are starting to fill up for some March dates!

I know! MK and HS are both sold out for the 14th! Eeek!

Week of 3/14-3/18 just got extended hours. Looks like there are some earlier openings at EPCOT, HS and DAK and later hours at MK.

Love late evenings at the parks!

The big districts there have Friday 3/11 and then 3/14-3/18 spring break.

Great. I’m there from 3/13 to 3/18. Oh well, I once survived the week of New Years Eve. I guess spring break can’t be much worse.

Goodness yes! DH has 2 pairs that fit well and thinks that’s plenty for a 7 night trip. Uh, no!

Sounds like my Dh.

Thank you all for your comments about your DH's purchasing / packing skills. I'm 100% there with you. My DH owns at least 4 pairs of swim trunks because he keeps forgetting to pack them and has to buy a pair when we go on vacation!

Mine keeps buying more because he keeps forgetting his in the locker room at the Y.

I need to go check that out. It might change how we plan our days.

For some bizarre reason I periodically stop getting alerts when there are new posts to this thread yet I still get alerts on a post that I commented on once several years ago.

I just got this message from Touring Plans this am - about Epcot hours but it doesnt seem to match up with Disney yet...



we are at Epcot on the 6th - and if that's the correct opening time - 7:30am is EARLY! and our AK day is also at 7:30am!

phew!

I got the same message! I’m stunned by those early opening times - especially 7:00 am on Monday the 7th. That makes EE begin at 6:30 am! I‘m not sure I’ve ever seen Epcot open that early!

So weird! Especially Epcot, you’d think they would extend later versus earlier hours. But I guess we’ll take what we can get!

Hmmm wonder if garden grill could open for breakfast with those early Epcot hours.

It’s kind of short notice for this week, but maybe later in the month?

That may be an error in the email. The Touring Plans website has Epcot opening at 8:30 on March 6 (early open 8:00)

 

[Charade67]

The official Disney app shows 8:30 as the opening time for EPCOT.

I see MK is not closing at 11:00. I think this will be a day to go back to the room, take a nap, and then return to MK for dinner.

 

[GingerMermaid]

I'm all for early morning hours. Not so sure the hubs will be though

 

[GingerMermaid]

Only 1 more week for me!

Hi March Friends!

can we talk ride strategy -especially at a Hollywood Studios. I am getting nervous bc literally that is the ONLY place my husband and son are interested in. Looks like Rise is the Resistance is offline today - I keep checking the wait times and today it’s been offline all day.

the other day when I was looking at ILL times for it, definitely nothing at 7:05AM, but at 7:30AM, 9:00AM, 11:00AM -more ILL
Options popped up!

question - if I wake up at 6:55AM and try to make our ILL for Rise and get an evening time, should I wait for something else to pop up for the morning? Or is it better to just buy what you get?

For rope drop for Rise - who has done that? What is the best strategy to walk over to galaxy edge from the ticket booths? We are walking from Boardwalk Inn so assuming we need to get there earlier than early entry, but how early?

we are planning on going on the 14th and 17th - and yes I have reserved both days!
Please help a newbie out!
Thanks!

 

[EilonwyWanderer]

I'm super interested in the answer to that, I have NO IDEA about the new systems and I DEFINITELY want to get my kids on at least Slinky Dog! Is it really the case that if you don't get a reservation for that standing in line is just a no-go?

 

[DisTXMom]

I expect SDD and RoTR will be 2 hour waits while we are there, so we will be attempting to ILLS/LL them both. Hopefully the extended hours help with availability for both. We have 2 partial days in HS, so 2 shots at getting the passes for those 2. Good luck everyone!

 

[bambialways4ever]

Trip feeling more real by the day... just registered for DAS this morning. First time doing it with the video chat system which was different! Other than online check in and buying memory maker.... I've got everything done (preplanning wise) for the trip!!!!

 

[BlancheNeige7]

We are so excited for our first trip to WDW since we were there for the closure on March 2020. Reserved our parks today... I think it will busy! The only availability left for March 14th and 15th was for Epcot. Thankfully we were able to make our preferred reservations. Do they release more later?

Now time to learn about Genie+! So much has changed since our last visit!

March 23-30 @CSR…again

 

[BlancheNeige7]

We are traveling March 12th-20th. Since this was a last minute planned trip and we wanted to stay onsite, we had to be creative. We are have a split stay... Pop - AS Music - Pop! We are hoping we can snag a hotel cancelation so we don't have to move around as much... that said, we are just so excited to finally go on vacation and will happily move around if we need to.
