SOOO packed this week!

[SOCALMouseMommy]

Maybe you could get an ADR for Thursday? Then at least you wouldn't have to worry about that aspect of it.

That is an excellent idea!

 

[SOCALMouseMommy]

It may not be that bad. Tonight MK reservations opened for both parks on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Fingers crossed! I consulted with my boys and warned them it will likely be crowded and challenging and possibly zero rides and they still want to go so we’re braving it!

This week looks wide open for MK. Even today (last day for Enchant) opened up.

Well it looks like I’m committed so I’ll report back! My plan is to mobile order food earlier in the day for later (unless I can grab a good ADR). I told my boys we would be focused on the parade, fireworks and holiday atmosphere and to keep their expectations in check. We’ll see how it goes!

I’m really curious how our one-day trip on the 19th will turn out crowd wise. First day of Believe blockout but the second to last day for Inspire. Also: last day of 2025 Costco 3-day ticket.

Doesn’t matter all that much for us since we enjoy things no matter what (and I can be a LL maximized if so requested) but curious how the factors all play out.

They replenished Inspire Key reservations yesterday, and they’re still available.

My guess is if they have added Key reservations it means they DO NOT have the number of single day or multiple day park reservations that they thought they would, so now they will allow the Keys to fill the park instead. So in theory the parks aren't as crowded as they anticipated.

we were there last week, in the parks Mon-Wed and it was hot and crowded! Mon & Tue were nutso packed! Wed was a bit better, but only a bit! Funny thing, Star Wars area was not busy at all, I was shocked!

We were there this past weekend, and we thought it was very busy! Lightning Lanes were running really late by mid-morning.

Must have just been a bad weekend go to go that

My Wife and I were there and for 2 days in a row and just almost none. Heck the Tree and Mickey out front didn't get people until later as well, normally they used to be out near when they let people in but when we went it wasn't until after 8 AM they came to take pictures of people with the Tree/Mickey flowers

I do love Disney but will say this is also why its hard to talk about the parks, everyone has very different experiences and so what could be a good day for me might be hell for someone else if they miss a character coming out by a minute or get in line for a ride right as it gets popular leading it to double the length of time you need to wait

When we we there we couldn’t find photographers.

This seems to be hit or miss, I have some people tell me they had no trouble and others say they are no where to be found

Well, strike 1 for today. I tried to mobile order Mickey gingerbread from Jolly Holiday at 7am and every time I tried to submit the order it spun and said there was a problem. Now all windows are gone. So frustrating

 

[Tinkaboo]

They have the same gingerbread man at Market House. Was much faster line than Jolly Holiday.

Jolly holiday almost instantly being booked most days this week is crazy. I’m sorry, but I feel like it should be a scan into the park only sort of place now. Literally all times are gone within like 2 minutes after 7. I got a time for 11:30am but to basically have to refresh and hope for a drop is ridiculous. At least you can still stand in line though.

It has been that way since the beginning of the Holiday season. And the lines at the restaurant are long and slow.

Yessss!! The lines are ridiculous! Waiting is really hard with my younger son. But the good news is, I kept fishing and picked up a return window for tonight! Gingerbread is on the menu for tonight!

I just checked and could get a return time for 11:30 right now. Of course the Gingerbread Mickey is not available but I could most anything else.

 

[dunkindonut]

I guess I was mistaken. It seems like they throw up some times at 7am and at like 8 put up the rest
