Just one sleep until we arrive. And we even managed to get 3 Up Close with Rhinos tour tickets at the last minute. Can't wait to arrive at my happy place.

MY family and I will be arriving in just under a week and really cant wait, this trip seems to be the least stressful trip we have planned in a long time, just planning on enjoying our time together as a family. Only real plan that we have is Friday the 23rd my 2 boys and I will get to do the Dive Quest at Epcot. We are really looking forward to this adventure.

We head out tomorrow morning. I’m packed and ready to go. 3:30 am wake up for our 7 am flight! I basically won’t sleep tonight. Can’t wait to get there!

We are heading home today, I hope everyone has a great trip. This was a short trip for us, we had a great time!

Booked our Lightning Lanes and got everything I wanted. Our HS day has us tapping into our first ride (Tower) later than I would like so I’m going to keep trying to back it up. Figured it would be the most challenging due to it being 60+2 and the day those shows debut. But other than that, no issues. Tiana was wide open and I even got Mansion for 9:10, which floored me.

Super late but we are heading down Friday for Memorial Day weekend!! 5/23-5/26 staying at Coronado Springs. This will be the shortest trip my family of 4 has ever taken to WDW but I've done adult only weekend trips and they've been awesome! Been thinking of all the ways to beat the heat in Epcot and HS, but super excited nonetheless!

5 more days for my family! Arriving at CBR on Friday! Recent travelers- would love to hear if you used Lightning Lanes or how useful they were. We are a rope drop family with two littles trying to decide if we want to add that cost.

Had a smooth early morning at the airport, really happy we chose today to fly out. Hung out in the lounge a bit and just boarded. See y’all later!

We used LLMP and LLSP 5/12-5/15. We found they weren't really necessary at Animal Kingdom on 5/12 but we also had a day that rained the entire day. I would recommend LLSP for FoP if you're not planning on rope dropping though. We also found LLMP wasn't necessary on 5/13 at Epcot unless you don't want to wait in line for both Frozen and Remy. We grabbed a morning LLMP for Remy and rope dropped Frozen from the International Gateway. We got in line at 8:45 and had a 20 minute wait. It's a good thing we did because by the time we used our first LLMP for Nemo, there were no Frozen LLs left. Again I would recommend LLSP for GoG. The shortest wait-times I saw for that was 45 minutes. In both AK and EP we ended up not even booking LLs later in the day because the wait-times were so low we didn't need them. On the other hand, I would definitely recommend LLMP for HS and MK. On 5/14 at HS we were able to book and use LLs for everything throughout the day. We started with Slinky, ToT and TSM. We rope dropped MMRR, TSM, and RNRC and then was able to get LLs for them later in the day for another ride. We also felt we got our money's worth at MK on 5/15. We rope dropped Space MT, and HM. We used LLs on: HM, Buzz, Tiana, pirates, Pan, IASW and had one for Pooh but it was down during our timeframe and we never made it back there before leaving for dinner. We also used LLSP for 7DMT and Tron. We were four adults so your situation is different but long story short, I recommend for HS and MK. I also found refreshing while standing in line helped a lot to get better times/better selections.

Thanks for that detailed explanation! I followed your advice and planed LLMP for MK & HS.
