    READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

    I'm interested in walking from the Swan tomorrow. I know the walkway is closed for the race, but it's at mile 24. Does anyone have an authoritative answer on whether the walkway will be closed all morning or only x minutes before the first runner approaches? Should I just Uber? How was today's...

    Victoria & Albert's non-alcoholic pairing?

    My partner was able to get them to make a milkshake. Ask for what you want and you'll probably get it.

    Web Site Links in New Tabs

    It's best practice to keep navigation within the current tab for easy one-handed back/forth navigation. The user always has the option to force a link to open in a new tab by clicking with the middle mouse button. This practice ensures that both sides can have the user experience they desire...

    What are ABD rooms like? What if I want to upgrade?

    Thanks for the responses, all! I'm still coming from the non-group travelling mindset and I forgot how little time would be spent in the rooms with ABD...that's a good reminder.

    What are ABD rooms like? What if I want to upgrade?

    I'm assuming that ABD books blocks of rooms like any other group travel, so we get run of house rooms (probably the cheapest or smallest available). Is that typically the case? Do they support upgrading to different room categories and if so, is it done in advance or at check in? Can anyone...

    Looking for podcast episodes about the backstage magic ABD

    I'm trying to find the podcast reviews of the dis exclusive combined San Francisco and Backstage Magic tours. I found two short episodes from the Dreams show but I was sure there was at least one Dis Unplugged show that was at least an hour long discussing it. Anyone with a great memory know...

    Boy do they oversell this Halloween party!!!

    I'd be happy to see a few of the nights sell tickets that are 2.5x the cost with 0.5x the capacity, so we could pay more for the short ride queues perk or pay normal price just for the experience.

    DREAM /DIS Exclusive 2019 SF / BSM Adventure July 18 – July 26

    We're patiently sitting on the waitlist, wondering what the chances are that however many people are in front will end up changing their minds. I assume the odds are at least 3,720:1..

    TABLES IN WONDERLAND COST

    I posted this a while back... Since the value of TIW changes based on your typical tipping amount and impacts tax calculation, here's a nice formula to help. TIW gives a 20% discount and adds an 18% gratuity. The cost is $150 for one card. Tax on food is 6.5% (exception: all star resorts)...

    FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

    I have a three day ticket and a MNSSHP ticket. The day of the party I plan to be at Disney springs in the morning and just use the ticket to get in at 4pm. Will I be able to book four total days of fp+? If I try now I can only book three but I'm hopeful that when the night of the party is...

    DIS really slow/lagging this morning, or just me?

    The issue isn't the network connectivity, it's the webserver itself. The server is located in San Antonio (with no edge caching!) and it's responding to pings just fine, so we know the DC is ok. When analyzing the traffic between my client and the server, I see that there's a huge gap of 15-20...

    Bonus anytime FPs with package - now there's a thought...

    I'm planning a short trip to Tokyo Disneyland and I ran across their vacation packages. They're similar to ours, bundling together tickets+room reservation, but you also get breakfast and sometimes dinner included, which is kind of similar to getting a dining plan but you are limited to hotel...

    Why are table service meals referred to as 'sit down' ?

    I always imagine it's because there are so many people with children here and parents always seem to adopt "child words" for things that may be cutesy or simplistic while not being completely accurate.

    Tables in Wonderland??

    That's where I was going but I didn't say it right, thanks.

    Tables in Wonderland??

    Yes - by using simple math! TIW gives a 20% discount and adds an 18% gratuity. The cost is $150 for one card. Tax on food is 6.5% (exception: all star resorts). We can calculate the savings by first taking your normal spend (S) and normal gratiuty percentage (G) which gives us your cost of a...

    When does Victoria &Alberts change their menus?

    I went 3 times over the course of two years, and my sole complaint is that V&A's has a hard time catering to repeat customers because they do play things safe with their dishes and don't swap things out as often as some other five diamond 'we source food daily from the market' kind of place. My...
