    VIP tours

    VIP tours are up and running now. There is another thread fully covering them during covid. They are able to be booked 60 days out from the date you want to use them. They (the VIP tours) are booking up very quickly. You would need to call at 0900 on the 60 day out mark to be sure to get a...

    When do you think these things will be back ?

    I and my family will be at DWL for 9 days starting in June. I have been hopeful for a few things opening up. In no special order they are: The Festival of the Lion King -- got my wish (for the most part) Fireworks -- not yet All the new rides -- ain't gonna happen -- Disney is saving the new...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    I am knee deep in planning for an early June trip. I purposely changed a weekend scheduled resort day from Disney Springs to a Blizzard Beach day. I changed our DIsney Springs day to Tuesday. I did this after reading so many post regarding the crowds at Disney Springs over the weekend.

    VIP Tour-4 parks questions

    I have the tour guide tracking our pace. If we have to, he will drop Expedition Everest and Frozen Ever After because of distance and probability of getting onto those rides during our other park day. I know the ROR is 45 mins so that will probably go out the window first.

    VIP Tour-4 parks questions

    I strongly recommend doing the headliners. Are you staying on property? If so, it may be cool to get picked up at the resort. I know, I know -- the transit time is on the clock, but it may ultimately be best. Here is what we are doing: We are hoping to get Rise of the Resistance but will play...

    Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

    I haven't checked this, but I am pretty sure of the info. I believe they do light housekeeping every other day (wipe down the commonly used areas, empty the trash, swap out the towels, etc.

    Disney just announced that The Festival of the Lion King will be open mid May! I do not have specifics beyond that, but I am psyched!

    Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE Information & Questions

    Boulder Ridge is our favorite resort. We love Wilderness Lodge and all it has to offer. We love the location of Boulder Ridge. We go to WDW just about every year. In fact, we are going in early June this year. I recommend a Bay view so you and your family can see Bay Lake and the electrical...

    Worried about my trip help please

    It's hard to give a reasoned opinion when certain basic aspects of your trip are missing. The biggest for me is whether you are staying at a Disney resort or not and whether you are planning on eating at Disney or not. Assuming you are staying at a Disney resort and eating at Disney...

    6 days...DD and Me

    Optimum -- do four park days Next -- do three park days and Park Hop By listening to your thoughts, it sounds like you would like to Start at MK, HS, and AK. I would start at those three and leave at noon or early afternoon. If you are up for it -- I would go and do EPCOT in the early...

    grocery store

    They do have Garden Grocer and Amazon delivery. They are well priced. By the time you pay for the uber-- that will cover the delivery cost and you can save your time.

    Nov 2021 6 Day Ticket Advice - Which parks?

    I would still have a plan locked in. First thing to do is to reserve your park stays. I would follow your plan but do 2-3-4 parks 5-6-7 off 8-9-10 parks. That way your week end is your resort time and you avoid the crowds. Warning though. I would also avoid Disney Springs on the weekend...

    Which 2 hotels have the best restaurants? Wanting to do a split stay!

    Yes, the boat to Magic Kingdom is running though. Contemporary is a short walk from there as is the monorail.

    Which 2 hotels have the best restaurants? Wanting to do a split stay!

    For me, I would definitely consider the Wilderness Lodge. it has two Quick Service locations, Artist Point (which has character meals), and it has The Whispering Canyon Cafe. Fort Wilderness is also a long walk, quick boat or bus ride away. Plus (depending on when you are going) you are a very...

    May vs. June

    We have gone several times in early June. I would not make the swap. It would bring too many unnecessary headaches. You did not say whether you were staying on property or not. If you are staying on property (and maybe even if you are not) with your kids' ages, I would follow the script...

    Magical Express to end in 2022

    I am confused. Are you saying that there was no one on the bus? This photo doesn't do that. This is a parked MDE bus. Having said that, I have not yet gone to WDW during the pandemic. We are going in early June. I will be interested in the MDE experience then. We go to WDW just about...

    Rumor - Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom game closing?

    This is greatly upsetting. There is no way to know for sure, but it seems like this is a Disney cost cutting move. Rather than refurbish this, they seem to be getting rid of it. For me, it is one of what I call pixie dust experiences at WDW. It may be the tipping point for me. Right now...

    Tips for a first-time summer trip?

    We still have a DD15 so we are faced with the summer months (although we did go once during Christmas week). The big question for me will be what policies will be in place by the summer. By policies I mean: extra magic hours, fast pass, fast pass plus, dining plan, etc. To answer why this is...

    WHAT DO I SPEND THE BIG BUCKS ON?

    The spirit of aloha was one of the most disappointing experiences my family and I have experienced at WDW. The food at Ohana is excellent, but the food at the show was horrible. Disney needs to rewrite the script for the show -- it was also dreadful. The only saving grace of the show was the...
