I’m planning a family trip to DL in 2025. There will be 9 of us so we’d need at least 3 hotel rooms, which adds up even at the good neighbor hotels. The Unofficial Guide suggested renting through VRBO or AirBNB. They would be MUCH more economical and some say they are within walking distance to...

Does the dinning package window open at 6am on the 17th the same as reg dining ressies?

You’re welcome. This is all happening in Jan because we are bringing the family in Dec :( Making park reservations isnt a big deal. And because we use Military discounted tickets, we will continue to have to make reservations because they aren’t date-based. But park hopping limitations really...

Right. Is the long range one in mb+ the rechargeable one, and wouldn’t that make it last longer that 2 years?

Since MB+ is rechargeable, does anyone know if the battery would last longer than the 2 years that the old MB lasted? We go every other year, and I wasn’t going to get the MB+, but if they last longer, it would be worth the extra $ if we don’t have to buy new ones each time.

We are going to Ft Wilderness Dec 1-11. My husband, sister, and I will be in our RV at a campsite, and we have a cabin reservation for my daughter and her family. It’s my two grandsons’ (4 and 2 yrs old) first Disney trip. I realize Disney will honor our reservation, but I don’t want them to be...

Going the first week in Dec with my daughter, fiancé, and their two kids. She would like to get married while we’re there (very small - just the six of us) so I would like to get a small cake. But she is gluten sensitive so it would need to be gluten free. I know there are several bakeries that...

We are taking my daughter’s family (grandsons 4.5 & 2.5 yrs) and staying at Ft. Wilderness Dec 1-10. She is a vet tech and LOVES AK. I am debating on surprising her with a special tour. They used to have one that took you behind the scenes on how they care for the animals (showing more of their...

We usually go the first week in December. Last year, I had to make a reservation for Epcot because we had a lunch reservation at 1:00 (Candlelight Processional dining package). Epcot didn’t open until 11:00. Normally, we would’ve rope-dropped MK, ridden a bunch of rides, spent some money, and...

What about the military discounted tickets? Do we still need park reservations, since they aren’t date specific?

Anyone know when they usually announce military discounts for next year?

I wondered why they have MSEP merch at WDW if the parade was only at DLR. Sorry, but it’s my favorite parade - lots of nostalgia with my family. I hope they bring it back to WDW.

DH and I will be bringing our daughter and her family to the Fort. We want to reserve a cabin for them, and a campsite for us and our RV. Which loops are closest to the cabins?

I found their expected wait time to be pretty accurate. Way better than Genie’s tip board.

We were there this week and we didn’t like the trees as much as when they had them all in one area. It seemed like they weren’t as full of “stuff” or maybe because they were taller and some were displayed in such a way that you couldn’t get as close, it was harder to see the details. We were...
