    DAS with six people. Do all six have to be in park to make reservation?

    If the DAS member is in the park can he/she book a ride time for all six family members listed even if they are running late getting to the park? TIA!

    Can I visit any resort without a dining reservation or having a QS mobile order?

    I understood by your response that you have been more recently than me (last visit was almost 2 years ago) and you had no problem visiting resorts by car without using mobile order at the QS. Is that correct?

    Can I visit any resort without a dining reservation or having a QS mobile order?

    Arriving by car seemed to be the problem during our last two trips. WL was on of the places where we had to place a mobile order just to be allowed through the gate. I don't think we've ever NOT stopped at Roaring Forks for something if we didn't have an ADR for AP or WC. We usually plan on...

    Can I visit any resort without a dining reservation or having a QS mobile order?

    Since the mid-1990's up until the Covid pandemic we always went resort hopping and usually had a meal or snack wherever we visited. After Covid we have vacationed once at Disneyland and twice at WDW. The last two times we were at WDW (if driving our own vehicle...not visiting by bus, boat, or...

    Windsor Island Resort

    Your recommendation encouraged us to pull the trigger and book a big, new house in Windsor Island! We have a large family and needed space for 17 with all the grandchildren! Thanks so much for posting! Did you have a chance to use the lazy river/water park area? I am hoping it won't be ice cold...

    Everything Early Theme Park Entry (ETPE) - Please Read Post 1

    That does sound more appealing. I don't know how to make those changes when we are meeting other folks there, however. Our first day is AK. Mid day break--required so that DH can leave to go get more medical treatment and then hopping to Epcot for dinner with others. I don't really see a way...

    So exhausting. We have an extraordinary situation (medical) that will have my DH getting up at 3:30 a.m. to have that kind of early start!

    Everything Early Theme Park Entry (ETPE) - Please Read Post 1

    If Animal Kingdom opens at 7:30 a.m. early entry guests scan in when? Do they start scanning the first people right at 7 at the turnstiles? If DHS and Epcot open at 8:30 what time should be be at the turnstiles for early entry? MK is opening at 9 a.m. to everyone, we should be at the turnstiles...

    On phone over 3 hours with tech support!

    I have a brilliant beyond brilliant idea for Disney! If they don't have the needed IT folks to handle all the calls then maybe, just maybe they shouldn't be doing ANYTHING that requires tech! Go back to paper fast passes until you have your department staffed and ready to handle the inevitable...

    March 2022 Car Rental Thread

    Have you read through this whole thread? Some people have mentioned that you can’t apply a Wizard number with Avis and still get the UCT rate. That’s the only way I know of that you can avoid the line and it won’t work with this rate from what I’ve read. We do prefer Avis over Budget.

    This sounds so awful. If I could get out of my trip I definitely would!

    Capacity at Restaurants

    I agree that it is so much more difficult to move reservations around than it used to be! We went from a party of four to a party of six just a few weeks out from our trip. I have had a really hard time finding what I consider more desirable ADRs for six! It seems many restaurants like to book...

    I have something positive to say about this week

    I appreciate everything you reported but wanted to clear up one thing. You stayed off-site. Parking was never free for off-site guests. Parking was free for on-site guests until pretty recently.

    DL has dates for Main Street Electrical Parade, World of Color, Disneyland Forever Fireworks, and Fantasmic. What about WDW?

    Yeah, the reviews on Enchantment and Harmonious are pretty bad! I was just wishing that on Disney World’s 50th anniversary it would get at least as much in the way of evening spectaculars as Disneyland! Honestly, makes me wish I would have booked a trip there with my son's family in May! I'm a...

    DL has dates for Main Street Electrical Parade, World of Color, Disneyland Forever Fireworks, and Fantasmic. What about WDW?

    Will WDW be announcing return of Spectromagic or something like it? Fantasmic? Did I miss an announcement?

    AK and HS hours updated, week of March 6-12

    This is our week. I can only think they are expecting big crowds. However, I am so happy to have the extra hours! I think it allows for that afternoon break/swim my family needs.

    Best Strategy for a trip in 2022? Lower Your Expectations

    Definitely not true, in my case. I am setting my expectations for "different and more expensive" than other trips. That is different than psyching myself up. I am not telling myself that a pile of dung is actually a delicious, juicy hamburger. I have already said that I am committed to our...

    Best Strategy for a trip in 2022? Lower Your Expectations

    We are really glad to have read ALL the warnings on what to expect and I think it is a timely caution right now to greatly lower our expectations. However, our family has already decided WE WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME (obviously, barring unforeseen tragedy while vacationing)! How do I know this? We...

    I have something positive to say about this week

    OP, You had me so excited with the title of your thread! Lol! Oh, well. I was hoping for some better news than what you offered for my upcoming trip in two weeks. Sadly, it looks like the reports are pretty consistent (poor).
