Ok, so I got SUPER excited to see the adorable Thumper popcorn bucket they are releasing for Easter. Then today, I see the announcement that they are dropping it only at Epcot on the 25th. Our Epcot day is the 24th, so I’m going to miss it by just one day!!
(I’d consider changing days, but we already have dining reservations and lightening lanes booked for Monday.)

Any chance someone here is also staying at the Contemporary and would be willing to pick on up for me and bring back to hotel before Friday?

We are in the same boat! Doing Epcot the 24th for the extra hours. I was thinking of switching as Monday was looking to be pretty rainy but that seems to have cleared up. If anything changes and we end up going later in the week I will keep you in mind!

I’m starting to get nervous about the crowds this trip now hearing all the reports. I was wondering if anyone could help me? I am mostly worried about meals. We didn’t book any sit down restaurants because it’s just my daughter and me and she prefers QS. I have never done QS mostly because when we traveled as a family of 6 it seemed too daunting to find seats and food and get everything ourselves for all 4 kids. So we always made reservations. Did we make a huge mistake this time thinking QS would be easy as a party of 2? How bad is it trying to get QS lunch and dinner in the parks? Epcot looks crazy on our first day (March 31) and most of the reservations are gone. Should I try and reserve anything I can that is left, or is QS and mobile order pretty easy to get even when crowded? Thanks!

Mobile order and eat off peek meal times. It worked for me and mom during Thanksgiving week couple years ago.

Good to know! Thank you. We are coming from the west coast so we will probably be hungry at odd times anyway!

Thank you so much. First trip back in 10 years. I’m super excited to be able to go.

Yes to this. I also think dinner QS in the parks is way less busy than lunch QS.

Agree. Also, you can order hours in advance and select your time slot. They don't prepare it until you are close and can acknowledge that you have arrived. Just select "schedule for later" and pick a time. They do run out of time slots to select during peak times. There are some good posts online on how to use mobile ordering if you search for them.

Oh wow! That’s perfect. I had no idea we could schedule it for later. Thank you so much for that tip. I appreciate it. That makes me feel so much better about it.

As others have said, mobile ordering is great, and at Epcot I encourage you to eat at the Flower & Garden food booths… delicious choices, the lines move pretty quickly, and if you like to share food you can try lots of different things. You may not even need quick service if you hit a bunch of the booths. Many of the portion sizes are generous, too.

Today we get to book our LL! Up at 3:30 am right now waiting. I just couldn’t sleep anymore knowing I get to book them in half an hour. Hopefully it goes smoothly!

 

[wallawallakids]

It went well! We were able to get the rides we wanted!! One more week! so excited.

Just back home from Disney. We always go over my daughter’s spring break (teacher), but this past week seemed extra busy. I am questioning if I will even go to the parks on future visits.
