    Some suggestions for chilling at WDW please (-:

    Caring for Giants! Maybe one of the resort craft sessions. Tie dye at the pool. S’mores. Movie by the pool. Topolino’s for character breakfast. Take time to do the drawing option at AK. Voices of Liberty at EP.

    Single rider experience

    Four…. Smugglers Run, Expedition Everest, Test Track, RnRC. The one for RnRC is awful, oftern longer than standby. The other three tend to be great. For TT, if the single rider line is longer than the chain break where the folks come out of the design room, then it’s kind of long and I...

    Would you rather - park hopper vs. base tickets edition...

    Two park days or four park days? FOUR! You can leave and return to the same park if you want a break on a given day.

    Fun activity for a free morning?

    Unless you are going Easter weekend, I would book for EP or HS and hop to AK. Or, head to DS first thing in the morning and buy cookies! Enjoy a lunch, bus to AKL so you can get to AK. While lunch at DS is always fun, Sanaa lunch is pretty awesome. Sometimes I just get the bread service……. 😂

    ROTR - rope drop or ILL?

    When you can hit ROTR at early entry, it’s awesome. But it’s also really crappy when they let you walk all the way to the gates of Galaxy’s Edge to tell you it’s not opening and now you have missed the SDD option. I’ve gotten an ILL for ROTR before noon a couple of times, and I’m not a super...

    For those who take yearly trips..how many park days?

    If I were in once-yearly mode - I would arrive on a Sat before 4 pm, leave the following Sun after 7 pm (a 10-day trip) and I would get 8-day park hoppers. We wouldn't go to a park on day one, and we would have one rest day in the middle. If by chance we were arriving by about 10 am on the...

    Anyone *enjoy* having MB+

    While I own one MB+ and I prefer wearing a MB compared to using a card, my phone, or my watch, I don't recommend them. They are uncomfortable and if you don't get them on the charger properly, they don't charge. And when charging - they glow so it's another light shining in my hotel room at...

    Citizens Of Hollywood

    Loved them! Definitely something I hope they think about bringing back sometime in the future. Disney needs more live performers contributing to the park atmosphere.

    Poll: Which Animal Kingdom Show?

    Depends on when/weather. Nemo is great for having a break in a dry, climate-controlled auditorium. They cut the length of the show post-Covid, and while it is still good, it has lost some of its emotional connection to the audience, IMHO. I also think the casting for Nemo's dad has been weak -...

    Our worst day at WDW in 16 years...

    Sorry you had a bad day! Your day is a good reminder why having a firm strategy and concrete expectations helps. I refuse to deal with the virtual queues. Had a friend basically ruin their day obsessing over not knowing their boarding group time would be and it meant they did practically...

    Walt Disney World in August

    If you are stuck with July and August and want the lightest crowds, go the second half of August. While there are fall themed decorations including pumpkins at MK, if you don’t go to the Halloween party, it won’t feel like Halloween. Now, I would never recommend then as a first visit because of...

    Itinerary Check

    Try to book a TS meal between 11-5 each day you are at a park. It will give a nice break from the crowds and give everyone a real seated break. I think this is key during really busy times because it gives a respite from dealing with the crowds and someone serves you. For five days, we...

    Healthier restaurant choices

    There are a fair number of healthy options on the menus at numerous Disney Springs restaurants, too. Baked or grilled fish and chicken options with vegetable sides. Often, but not always, the vegetarian options are low fat and full of veggies/high fiber. I’ve found something healthy at the...

    Kidani vs Jambo

    I personally think it comes down to if you intend to visit Mara - the QS dining option much. If you intend to rely on that - then Jambo. Kidani does have a gift shop with food choices and Sanaa for TS dinner (or mobile order) and some breakfast choices, but it does not have the typical Disney...

    Any Genie+ Solo Tips

    While I've used Genie+ successfully as a solo - I have also found that early entry hours - or right at close hours - have worked great for me on solo trips, too. If I prioritize my early entry - I can get a lot done because it's just me rushing for that first line - and I have a plan already...

    Making Dining Reservations for 1

    I used to say I didn't have a problem with this - I could always get 1. But yup - something changed and this is annoying as all get out! Even 2 wasn't as successful as 4. I feel for those guests who don't know this is messed up and just think nothing is available.

    Phone vs Computer: What's Your Go-To Device for Navigating DisBoards?

    I suspect the age of a disboard member who is going to click on this thread is pretty old…. Hence why the response isn’t more phone.
