At some point today they adjusted the park hours. MK is now open later most nights through the end of the month.

They must have read my post!!! Hahaha

Thanks for the head’s up.

Thanks for heads up about the park hours. I had checked them yesterday and probably wouldn't have checked them again before we leave for WDW tomorrow. We aren't staying in a deluxe resort, so I know now to avoid Epcot on Monday night and MK on Wednesday night when they are open late for deluxe resort guests. When we were in WDW last month they had deluxe hours at MK one night. The park was mobbed.

I was able to get my lightning lanes booked this morning. Cannot believe the trip is next week. Super excited

 

[marcar12]

I made my MultiPass Lightning Lane reservations this morning (plus a few Individual LLs as well)! It was a little bit harder to get the times that I wanted than I had hoped it would be. I actually slept through my alarm by accident and ended up logging in 30 minutes later than I wanted to, so that certainly didn't help. But still, a little frustrating that 7 Dwarfs Mine Train was totally sold out by the time I tried to buy it! (And I am staying on-property so I was doing it 7 days before my trip!)

How has everyone else's luck been with scheduling LLs?

I will be up bright and early this Saturday to book, so we'll see. However, I much prefer to do it before the vacation instead of at 7 a.m. every morning while on vacation. I am happy about this change!

That is frustrating! Is your MK day close to the beginning of your trip? If so, that can be a disadvantage with this new booking system.

That's a bummer. But keep checking on the app as you might be able to bring up those times between now and when you ride.

I can start booking on Monday morning. I am only doing LLMP for two days of my trip.

Yes, the MK day that I was trying to get 7DMT for is the first day of our trip (1 day after arrival day). But we are also planning to be there on the last day of our trip, so I went ahead and got the ILL for that day instead. Just had to switch some plans around a little! But even that day, which is 13 days away from today, was sold out between 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm! (Seems like people want to ride it during the fireworks!)

I think we’ll be in MK the same day. I’m suddenly feeling much more worried about crowds!! I didn’t have any trouble getting most of the reservations I wanted but we’re also not doing most of the thrill rides and coasters so that makes it much easier

If that day is a Wednesday, it’s Extended Evening Hours for deluxe resort guests at MK, so possible that people are hopping over and want to ride SDMT before after hours start.

In my case it’s a Friday…

Yep, that night is a Wed. We will be in MK on Fri the 21th and Wed the 26th.

I am feeling more worried about crowds now too! Making dining reservations was super easy, so I had been feeling hopeful a couple months ago! But not so much anymore. Probably going to be typical Spring Break high-crowds! Thank goodness for LL!

 

[Doingitagain]

I researched a most Florida spring breaks are the weeks of March 10 and 17.

 

[Wood Nymph]

We just got back from our March trip yesterday. The parks were busy, but we were able to do almost everything we wanted without buying any MPLL or SPLL passes. The spring breaks crowds were supposed to start today and go for the next three weeks according to the Mears driver.

The best thing we did was to take the single rider line at Remy. We were on the ride in minutes. We had been on the ride many times before. It was a huge time saver.

We have been over Spring Break for the past several years, so we are prepared for it to be crowded and set expectations accordingly.

 

[PVTim]

So this week...went from the Pit of Despair with no trip planned until 2026 to having a quick trip to see one of my favorite bands at House of Blues! Going from 3/23 to 3/26- enough time to hit the concert and Flower and Garden. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions from no trip in sight to 9 days for a countdown!!!!!! Glad I have some idea of what I am doing because the planning has gone smooth...so far!!!!!!!!!

Truly! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my booking window tomorrow morning.

We've been for the past two Spring Breaks, and it was very busy both times. We are also mentally prepared for the crowds.

Just got here after a long day of delayed travel due to the Florida weather… we were supposed to leave Houston at 9:35 am and didn’t leave until 5:30 pm, then sat on an MCO tarmac waiting for a gate for almost thirty minutes, and then baggage claim was a mess. We jumped on our Mears transport and got to the resort around 11:10 pm, and I mobile-ordered burgers from Three Bridges, which were delicious! The resort is spectacular all lit up at night and with Spanish music playing in the background. Off to bed now and getting ready for our Epcot day tomorrow!

Hope tomorrow goes much smoother for you! Have a great day at Epcot. Which resort are you staying at? Thank you for the update and have fun!!!

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?
