    FastPass+ FAQ — SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

    I've got two upcoming short trips (due to conferences in Orlando). For the first conference (in October), I bought a 2 day mid-day pass. Fast passes have been made and all after 12pm. For the second conference (in November), I bought a 4 day regular park hopper pass. Fast passes have been...

    Do You Carry Cash?

    I have my bank account number saved in my password app on my phone. If for some reason I need to actually go to the bank (which is, essentially, never - or at least only once every several years), I tell them the account number and show my ID. I don't think I've ever had a "bank book".

    Do You Carry Cash?

    It's mostly the same here (except checks are still used more here than they are elsewhere). I rarely need cash, but my bank lets use login on the ATM using Apple Pay. I have a debit card, but it lives in the safe at my house and never sees the light of day. I prefer my credit card take the fraud...

    Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

    Two questions -- 1) I'm going to be in Orlando in October and November for conferences. I bought a 2 day mid-day ticket and chose an October start date, and bought a 4-day park hopper with a November start date. My Magic Band knows these start dates, right? When I enter the park in October, it...

    Yay! My first MS Ignite! I'm staying at a Universal resort during the conference and switching to Swan for the weekend (family flying down to join me on Friday). I'll also be in Orlando the month before for Grace Hopper - anyone else?

    Tower of Terror - ok for a skittish 10 year old?

    My kid was way freaked out by the scene he interpreted as the whole family getting electrocuted. The drops were fine. It was everything leading up to that. It's long and dark and freaky. If your kid is sensitive to that, be wary. My son wouldn't ride it again for years.

    My issues with the multi-use toiletries

    The only toiletry I pack is my face cleanser and I don't even always bring that. I prefer to pack as light as possible and avoid any liquids. And the thought of soaking in a hotel bath tub is :crazy2:

    Volcano Bay Weight Limit/Restriction?? (200 Lbs.)

    According to this: https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/files/Documents/volcano-bay-riders-guide.pdf Looks like just Kala and Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides.

    Volcano Bay Weight Limit/Restriction?? (200 Lbs.)

    According to my kid's report from yesterday, it's only the one set of body slides with the 200 lb limit. They weigh you on every ride though. He was with my husband and they had to weigh together before going on the together rides and he knew that number (300 for both of them), so the scale...

    Volcano Bay Weight Limit/Restriction?? (200 Lbs.)

    Husband is at Volcano Bay now and just texted me that they went to get on a slide and it had a "strict" 200 lb weight limit - that he just barely squeaked onto. He said it's on "all the big tube slides with the phone booth at the start". Whatever that means. :teeth:

    Tinted moisturizer for someone that wears zero makeup but wants to cover a few things up?

    I use Tarte BB cream. It's not really a tinted "moisturizer", but I use my moisturizer (usually almond oil) when I get out of the shower and then apply this later. I like a skin-like very natural matte finish and I don't like feeling like there's anything on my skin - this fits the bill. It's...

    Why are in-resort TS so important?

    We don't eat at the table service restaurants usually when we stay at deluxe resorts and the existence of the restaurants in the resort isn't usually a deciding factor for me when picking resorts. But, for us, the main benefit of having TS at the resort is the in-room dining menu. We often have...

    How many snow days have your schools had so far this winter?

    We've had zero days. It's been a weird winter and hasn't snowed since mid-December though. For years, our schools never had snow days. Before the 2011 Groundhog Day blizzard, they hadn't had a snow day since the catastrophic 1967 blizzard. Since 2011 though, we've had a couple years with...

    iPhone + size, how do I carry it in the parks?

    I have no idea how you people manage to fit this phone in your pants pockets, LOL! I can put it in the back pocket on my jeans, but it sticks out and doesn't feel secure or safe when I sit down like that. There's no way it fits in a front pocket. I tried a neck lanyard once and my phone nearly...

    Early Bird Check In Southwest

    If it makes you feel better, I totally forgot to check in Sunday for a totally full flight MCO-MDW and got C14 and son and I still found 2 seats together in the back. :) What's your kid to adult ratio? 2:1? I'd say worst case scenario you'd have one kid across the aisle from you, but still...

    Poll: Should all bus stops at resorts have lines?

    I, generally, like lines and orderly queues, but I've never been bothered by the bus situation at the mods and deluxes. I can't remember ever not getting on a bus that arrived either. Although, I ride public transportation daily and can't think of any situation In Real Life where there's ever...
