Preparing for Nicole, Rain tips, and other advice!

[Lewisc]

Ugh a bit of a bummer for us, we have 1150 space at Epcot

Space will probably be able to accommodate you if you show up at park opening.

For Ian people had to go the parks if they didn’t have reservations to talk to/beg guest services

I was told guest services at DS also has the ability to override the system and give you a park reservation.

Looks like they just announced park opening times for tomorrow:

MK 12pm to 6pm with the party at 7pm
Epcot 1pm to 9pm
AK 1pm to 7pm
HS 2pm to 10pm with no Fantasmic

Hoping they allow theme park reservations soon so we can book one since we got stuck here an extra day and want to go to the park to make up for today.

Want to edit to add: This is from the update they sent to travel agents at 7:00pm, but doesn't look updated on the weather part of the website.

That seems really optimistic. I imagine it will be very windy with near hurricane force gusts winds driving rain at that time.

Does anyone know when the parking lots will open tomorrow?

 

[Betsyp]

I believe you probably will.

Oy…I need to get some sleep…kind of makes HS pointless if I can’t get anything

I’m at CSR and on the bus back from Epcot I heard a few people saying they couldn’t get there stays extended either. A few people had been moved to CSR from the campground and said they were enjoying the upgrade. There are a good amount of RVs parked here now.

I guess I’m grateful for my extension, no matter how $$$$$

Does anyone know when the parking lots will open tomorrow?

Generally parking lots open 1 hour before the parks. Could be less in this circumstance though. I’d think at minimum they’d open at least 30 minutes prior.

Will there be no park hopping tomorrow ? I’m going to HS, but I’d love to stop by Monsieur Paul and see if they can squeeze me in somehow.

Thanks!

The app lists the new hours. It says park hopping starts at 2p

Hmm. I looked under the Nicole update - nothing about park hopping. I didn’t think to look under the hours ..

Thanks!

Doesnt say anything about "Harmonious"... anyone ?

Nothing official but I wouldn’t give up hope yet as it doesnt say Harmonious is cancelled. It specifically states Fantasmic! is cancelled.

I just booked a G+ for DHS and my next time to book another is 4 pm. Two hours from opening.

 

[scrappinginontario]

Thanks for the update.

It took me 5 minutes of refreshing to get SDD for 630 pm. I’m hoping crowds aren’t insane this evening. I expect everyone on site to be out in high numbers and a big number of people left early or cancelled/shifted their arrivals.

The rain looks like it’ll stop around 5. We plan on heading out around 4 to AK then hopping to DHS.

Same!

I have Star Wars RoR at 3:40 (could have had earlier) and Slinky at 5:30 - that was my earliest option, so that was hugely popular

I guess my next choice will be Star Tours, which I’ll do standby earlier, and another go at Micky and Minnie Or Toy Story

I’ve had great luck stacking at DHS this trip but I have a feeling I won’t tonight. Lol. We shall see. Too short of a window.

Guardians VQ is still open as of 7:33.

I assumed I wouldn’t get it, as I got ILL for it first and then Frozen and it was still available as my 3rd selection!

 

[NJlauren]

In my prepared fashion i am struggling on footwear for today…. I’ll probably do my sneakers, but my DD wants to wear rain boots, brings crocs and sneakers, I mean im willing to carry some stuff but this seems insane. So wish me luck on that!

Other wise Im looking forward to a great hopefully not overly wet day!

 

[snikki]

My park reservation is for DHS so I contacted Disney chat hoping they’d let me move my reservation to AK and was told no. I really don’t feel like going to the park and hoping they let me in so I cancelled SDD and made TOT for 430 instead. DD isn’t the biggest SDD fan. It’s a cute ride but not something she needs to do multiple times a trip. (We did it Saturday). ToT is her favorite ride (well before she rode rise and guardians). We love AK at night and wanted one more quick evening there but what can you do.
