If I was staying onsite I wouldn't have othered with a car either. Especially as they now charge you a daily fee for parking at the resort hotel. We've been staying offsite. I suspect it probably would still have been cheaper to Uber everywhere, but it would have been much more marginal and we...

The visit I'm on now will be my last to Disney. Disney won't mind losing curmudgeons like me who complain about having to pay for things that used to be free (or included in the cost, if you prefer), or who can directly compare G+ with the Fast Pass system that didn't require me to get up at...

I've always just assumed the second tap is to stop people in the standby queue jumping over the rope into the LL queue and pretending that they've got LLs for the ride. You tap at the start of the LL queue to join the queue and again at the end for confirmation. Anyway, I've been able to book...

This is what we've been doing on our current trip. A backpack with frozen a coupl eof 2-litre bottles of water, and then fill it with our lunch (sandwich rolls or tortilla wraps in Tupperware) and cans of soda. Lunch is kept cold, and then after lunch we have bottles of ice-cold water for the...

We watched it tonight from a little bridge type area in fron of Italy and the view was great. You need to be there by 8:30 or so, though.

I initially booked in October last year for the trip I'm currently on, then periodically checked to see if prices had gone down. They got to their lowest about a month before my trip, so I booked then and cancelled my original booking. My theory is it's better to book ASAP to make sure you have...

We're not in any way locals. We'll be driving to VB from the villa we're staying in. Is there just regular parking for VB, and is it well sign-posted to get to?

We've never flown direct, mainly to cut costs, although the first time was deliberate as we wanted to spend a few days in New York. The most common airport we've had our connection in on our way to MCO is Washington (IAD). I've never had any issues with connection times, as the airlines are...

That's a pickup on 4th August and drop-off on 25th August. So it works out about £50 a day, as opposed to the £85 or so a day I was paying in my original booking. So if you've already booked it's probably well worth your while having a look again to see if you can get a cheaper deal.

Gone even better today. Got another Midsuze SUV (Jeep Compass or similar) for £1,051 through Expedia. That £750 saved will come in very handy.

Just gone through Expedia and booked the same car from the same company for £370 less than we paid in October of last year. A Midsize SUV from Sixt (Toyota RAV 4 is the example they give). We paid £1802.51 in October 2021. Booked it today for £1434.22, and then cancelled the October booking...

I'd love an update on how to get the most out of Genie+ when you finish your trip. I'm finding all the info about it a bit overwhelming.

We've stayed there twice, but they were both while the renovation was going on. We stayed once in Martinique and once in Aruba. We liked it. The big pool was good, but our kids were also happy enough to just mess around for a bit at the smaller pool in Aruba. The buses didn't serve Aruba as...

Has this been officially announced yet? I've seen reports that it's imminent, but I haven't seen anything official.

I've bought G+ for the whole trip. I feel slightly better about things with that sorted. But then I told my son this morning that Blizzard Beach is unlikely to be open when we go. He was not a happy chappie when I dropped him off at school.

I might just go ahead and book it for the whole trip anyway. It's more expensive, but it saves a lot of kerfuffle. It just leaves a sour taste in my mouth as it feels like I'm being railroaded into the more expensive option, despite me still being unsure whether it's really worth laying out the...

OK. So it turns out I STILL don't understand G+, despite having read a fair bit about it. I don't think I can add it for specific days for our trip, but rather I'd have to buy it for every day, which I don't want to do because there's lots of days we won't use it which makes it more expensive...

Cheers. I've just seen another thread saying that you can pick up your key early (like 7am early) and they'll text you when the room is ready, so I guess we'll do that.

I didn't really understand what G+ was back then. I guess it's true that ignorance is bliss.

My anticipation for this trip just gets lower and lower. I was only planning to use G+ for the days at MK & HS, and now they've announced that they may limit the G+ tickets sold each day. So now I have to be up at 00:01 on those days, and then up and online by 07:00 to use it? Well, that's sure...
