Sub Rules

Just a pretty neat little thing

Doing my 3rd solo trip in a couple of weeks and debating if I should upgrade from POR to AKL. It would be a resort view. It’s about $100 difference per night and wanted some opinions from anyone who has done both. Is it really worth it? What would you do?

Hi there! Just bought 3 tickets to the animal kingdom and sad to say I will no longer be able to use them. Please message me if interested I know it is last minute

It just played at 11:30pm, full show with Tink and everything. I watched it with about 3 other people on the Poly beach. It was really bizarre. I heard the boat guys talking about it, they didn’t understand why either.

Was recently at Disney and saw a sweatshirt that I LOVE. They didn’t have my size so I figured I would try to order online, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’m assuming they now have my size in stock at the park - is there a way to purchase directly from them and get it shipped?

Hi all! We just got back from my kiddos’ first trip to WDW and they LOVED it! My kids are both dinosaur kids and huge fans of Toy Story. My 5 year old’s favorite “movie” is Toy Story That Time Forgot and he spent the whole time we were there (MK, AK, and HS) looking for a Trixie toy, to no avail. Does anyone know where I can find one? The only ones I’ve found are on eBay and they’re not my favorite source.

Just booked my first trip to Disney world in February next year for me and my fiancé.

I’m (unfortunately) dairy intolerant, what’s it like in Disney/resorts for no milk?

I know in the USA they really enjoy dairy products, is it as easy to make accommodations as they are here in the UK?

Thanks.

Edit: are there any particular dairy free meals/snacks you’d recommend?

Does the event ever get extended out further into summer? My family is going mid August and we were wondering if it would be possible to get tickets for then.

My wife and I are going back to WDW in late September and we are debating on what restaurants to eat at this time. So I'm curious to know what is your favorite place to eat In disney world. It can be quick service, table service, resort dining even character dining.

Last time we ate at liberty tavern, hollywood and vine and sebastians at carribean beach (where we like to stay)

I read some posts in the past but they are about a year old so just trying to see everyone's current favorite.

Was at HS today and out at the entry there was Gipetto and Baloo just hanging out greeting guests before people scanned in. Once we walked in we saw two of the three female mice from Cinderella doing a meet and greet. Never would have even thought they had those characters available. So a. What’s the rarest character you’ve seen and b. Why do they randomly bring them out? Just for training?

Seems like a winner that would be a destination in itself.

Staying off property and have 5 day park hopper tickets. Any suggestions for park on the 4th?

Which is quicker? Moving to Miami from Dallas next month

Some background, we normally stay at the Swan and Dolphin, but the price is too high for us at the moment, I did a lot of digging into onsite and offsite options. Party is 2 adults and 1 19 month old. 4 nights, 2 park days at MK and a split between AK and EPCOT, 1 resort day in the middle, with resort time on either travel day. Total price includes 4 nights (king room is applicable), taxes, resort fees, rental car or uber to resort (depending if on property).

If I missed your favorite resort or you disagree with my pool/resort rankings let me know!

The oldest teen is 18. Suddenly the idea of all of us staying in one room seems unbearable. Would you rent a second room at a moderate level resort for my husband and I to stay in? We can't afford a second room at Yacht club

Wanting to place my order for groceries now, which would deliver Tuesday of next week but I don’t check in until Friday. It’s just a case of water, deodorant, and contact solution. Will bell services hold it for three days?

It’s been one year since my (partial) Disney Adventure with my boyfriend and I’m getting sad from the reminders lol! I want to go back! We did two days at Disney – Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, with a day at Disney Springs. (Two days were at Universal Studios).

Day 1, Monday May 15

Magic Kingdom

Made it to the Magic Kingdom just before it opened. Started off with Jungle Cruise for our first ride, then Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain, and Haunted Mansion. Didn't want to buy anything just yet but found some cool stuff to purchase later. Had some food (hotdogs and potato barrels aka tater tots lol) after Winnie the Pooh (which had a super long line) and Princess Carousel. Met Cinderella and another princess that I didn’t know. Did Buzz Lightyear, Carousel of Progress, and PeopleMover (that was broken down so we had to wait on that ride for a bit). Really cool when it was up and running and we saw the behind the scenes of Space Mountain (which was down for most of the day so we never rode). Hit up Mad Hatters Tea Party, Seven Dwarfs, Peter Pans Flight and It's a Small World, then Riverboat before dinner at Crystal Palace with the Winnie the Pooh gang. Did some shopping as we made our way to Main Street and got ready for fireworks. If I didn't take pictures, I never would have thought the day happened.

Day 2, Tuesday May 16

Hollywood Studios

Began the day with Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railway, which was fun then Tower of Terror. Never again. Scary galore lol. The guy beside me kept grabbing my leg until I showed him the handle lol. Then we went to Toy Story Land and did the Alien saucers and Toy Story Mania (forearms grew that day). Had lunch at Woody's Toybox and had a brisket grilled cheese, it was really good (and more potato barrels). Took in the Indiana stunt show and then went to Star Tours, MuppetVision before making our way to Star Wars land for the two rides there. If I was Star Wars fan, I'd have lost my mind. I was so impressed with the production value and the scenery. Really really great stuff, very super impressed. Had some drinks and eats at the Cantina and it was "authentic" stuff so it looked weird but tasted normal lol and closed out with Beauty and the Beast and then dinner at Mickey and Minnies restaurant and met all of them.

Day 3, Wednesday May 17

Went to Disney springs and bought some Lego sets (first ones ever, I got the Cinderella Castle lol) and had some chicken at the Guy Fieri quick service restaurant. Pretty chill day.

And that’s about it! I regret not buying the Anniversary LoungeFly backpack that I saw everywhere and kept saying I wanted it but my boyfriend said I didn’t need it (which is true) and that it doesn’t hold anything except a toothpick (which is kinda true). Bought a bunch of other cool things though so I guess it’s alright lol! Miss it a lot and can’t wait to go back (already abstractly planning things out). Thanks for reading!

Headed to Hollywood Studios with 3 other friends on an upcoming Friday. Want to plan it and see what we can skip out on paying extra for the Genie+ and Lightning Lane as much as possible, unless it's definitely recommended.

These are our must see attractions:

(High Priority)

1. Star Wars Rise of the Resistance

2. Slinky Dog Dash

3. Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway

(Mid-Priority)

1, Toy Story Mania

2. Tower of Terror

3. Millenium Falcon: Smuggler's Run

(Low Priority)

1. Muppet Vision 3D

2. Star Tours

3. Frozen Singalong/Beauty and the Beast

We also want to meet some characters, but that can be by chance if anything.

This is one of the most amazing resorts I’ve ever stayed. The lobby is stunning!

Hey everyone, I searched for this on this sub but I didn’t really come up with any good answers.

My son is 2 1/2, pretty advanced for his age, and he’s already big enough to ride slinky dog (we’re a tall family lol). Also he loves adrenaline and thrills.

My husband and I have ridden slinky dog and we love it! However it has been a few years and I don’t remember how rough it really is.

Anyone have experience riding this ride with a toddler/smaller child? How did it go? I think he would love it, but he is just barely big enough (he is exactly 38 inches). But he does love adventure! So I’m torn on whether or not it would be worth riding for him.

Thanks for any input!! We’re going first week of June.

Hello Disney people!

I am in the thick of trip planning and was hoping to crowdsource some answers to some deep-cut questions. I will likely be back with more, but to start with:

1. Is there a good sneaky spot to catch the EPCOT fireworks? I know about the table service restaurant seating but want to avoid that. I know that viewing for this particular show generally isn’t difficult because you can see it from anywhere around the lagoon, but I thought someone might be willing to share their favorite spots.

2. We have a resort day planned and are hoping to do a monorail/skyliner tour. Some questions— is doing both feasible? Could we visit all the resorts on both lines in one day, or would it be better to focus on one? (For context, we are childless millennials staying at a skyliner resort.) If it IS feasible to do both— would you start with skyliner resorts, then do monorail? Or other way around? Is there a “best” order to visit the resorts? We plan to just walk around, shop, and snack.

Thanks in advance!

Officially booked our next trip to WDW yesterday! We’re going the last week of August. It will be me and my mom as usual but this time we’ve convinced my GF to tag along with us. Super impulse trip… my mom and I were getting a pedicure on mother’s day and I turned to her and said “I want to go to Disney” and she said “Well the only time I can go is the summer.” And just like that here we are!

We got the 4 day Magic Ticket and booked just enough time to hit every park once. Wish we had an extra day there to do some resort/disney springs things but it will be great nonetheless.

I have renewed my passes 48 hours ago. I still cant book park reservations past my pass expiration dates. I need to book for June for the Tiana Splash Mountain reopening.
