Just wondering .. We want to park at EC in the morning and hopping with the monorail to MK in the afternoon. But MK generally closes an hour after EC does. Let's say we stay till 11pm in MK or untill the kiss goodnight. Can we still take the monorail to EC afterwards and take our rented car at the EC parking lot to drive to the resort at that time in the evening? Thank you ..read more

Hi all~ odd request, but if you happen to ride Jungle Cruise this month and the Skipper is Sam from Manhattan, can you snap a pic or quick video? My son is in the College program and just got his skipper credentials. °o° Have a great trip ..read more

Even though I won't be able to attend this year, my curiosity got the better of me and I had to glance through the F&W menus announced today. When I got to Italy, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry - all three items are brand-new this year. I'm sad that we won't have Josh to describe them for us, but I know he'll be somewhere laughing at every single person who pays $14 for a thimble full of overcooked frozen gnocchi. We miss you, Josh. 2022 Food & Wine Menu Announcement - Disney... Read more ..read more

Is this realistic to get done at AK during a very short end of day visit at the end of August? End of August. Official Hours are 8am to 7pm. (I was hoping it would be open until 8pm but it looks like the hours are going to shorter) We want to do a pool morning. We also want to avoid the hottest of the hot hours of the mid afternoon. As a result, we would be at the park for the last 2.5 hours or so because of the early 7pm close time. This would be our only visit to AK. Have not been since... Read more ..read more

So I'm not big on rope-dropping because my family isn't on East Coast time, I hate being in that crowd, and we stay offsite so it's less advantageous than on some previous trips. However, I also dislike Florida in July heat so I'm considering, maybe, possibly, at least a day or two showing up before noon. If I were to do this, what would be the best thing(s) to (offsite) rope drop in each park? I'm thinking: MK: BTMR, splash, or maybe some lesser rides in Tomorrowland (astro-orbitor?) HS...

We’ve reserved DHS for our arrival day. Hoping to purchase RotT and use Ll to get SDD at 7:00 am for sometime after 2:00 pm. Can we get another LL at 11:00am? Then again at 1:00 pm to have 4 when we get to the park around 2:00 pm.? Appreciate any advice ..read more

After cancelling our Aug 2020 plan (where I had my DHS day perfectly planned out with fast passes), I'm now trying to re-plan the day for this Aug using Genie+ (GRRR). This site was extremely helpful back in 2016 when we first came to Disney and I would be very very appreciative on any feedback from what I have below. I will be travelling with my husband, and kids (aged 11 and 13). 7am - book slinky dog (hopefully for 9am) Arrive at 7:30am to Rope drop - ROTR, TSM, Alien swirling saucers... Read more ..read more

After 3 years, I am once again joining my BFF and her family on a trip to Disney. (it's been 3 years for them, I've been back twice since our last trip) I am the planner and expert and I am willing to buy ILLs and G+ for everyone so that we can get on as many rides as possible, but was hoping to not have to buy everything for every day. I've been tracking availability over the past few weeks and want to know your thoughts on how best to approach each park. We will be myself, BFF, GM... Read more ..read more

I see that there are no reservations availability for Hollywood Studios for October 10-14. Does anyone know why? These are the only dates without availability on the entire calendar, and of course that is when my family is planning to visit ..read more

Hi! We have a trip planned mid June, and I thought I had our strategy in a good place for our first day with park hopping MK/Epcot. Then, Ratatouille got taken off ILL. Here's the plan. It's our first day in the parks. We are veterans of many many trips but haven't been back since the pandemic. We will be coming back to both MK and Epcot later in the trip. We are hitting MK at early entry. Not doing the mountains as my teens are not roller coaster people, so we are planning on this... Read more ..read more
