    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Sorry I just found this thread and haven't read through any of it, so I'm not entirely sure this is the place to ask this but... If anyone has rope dropped HS in the past couple of days, are they still opening it early? Like before 7? Trying to figure out when I need to get there

    HS and MK in one day?

    Do you think we'll be rushed at MK afterwards? It's going to be a long day and I don't want to have to rush around

    HS and MK in one day?

    We want to RD HS at 7am. We are hoping to do all the new TSL rides, Star Tours, and maybe Muppet Vision and then head over to MK. There we have FPs for PP, HM, and POTC at 11, 12, and 1. We’re not super into rollercoasters (we’ll ride them once or twice but after that it’s no biggie if we don’t...

    Going from MK to HS back to MK

    Thanks for all the advice! I think that we’ll probably rope drop if anything. I’m just worried that it’s going to make for a crazy long day— in late July heat. We’d be up at 5:30 and would be in the parks until 10 or 11. If we RD then we’d probably want to take a break midday. However, we’re...

    TSL and MK in one day

    We’d definitely do Slinky. Kiddie coasters are fine, but we’ve done SDMT before and once was enough for us especially with it being hard to get FPs and stand by lines being so long. If we rope dropped HS we’d probably want to take a midday break or maybe wait until after the parade and then go...

    Going from MK to HS back to MK

    We are going to MK, but also want to go to TSL. The only TSL FP we could get was Alien Swirling Saucers at 6:30 pm. Would it be possible or worth it to leave MK go to TSL and then go back to MK for HEA? If it is worth it when would you suggest leaving MK? When would we have to leave HS to get...

    TSL and MK in one day

    We are thinking about add TSL to our MK day because so far wait times have been a lot shorter than we expected. It will however, be our only day at MK. MK's hours for that day are 8-11. HS's hours are 7-8 emh and regular hours 8-10:30. We definitely want to see HEA so we'd probably rope drop TSL...

    Best Western Lake Buena Vista luggage storage?

    Online it says they have luggage storage. On our check out day we are going to MK and probably won't be back until 11 pm to pick up a carry on luggage. This sounds weird because ordinarily we'd just stay another night since its so late. To explain, we are going down to visit my brother who lives...

    Touring Plans Room Request Tool

    I used it over Christmas week. I realized POR was completely booked so I wasn’t expecting to get the exact room. We got a very similar room which was great. My only trouble was that when I looked up the room we were staying in, it said it had a murphy bed when it actually didn’t. Don’t know if...

    First WDW Christmas Week Trip....

    We went this past year and had an amazing time. We didn’t do park hoppers and were just fine, if you get them keep an eye out for phase closures at MK. Don’t plan on doing everything you might normally do. Be strategic about FPs and always make ADRs. It was such a relief to be able to just go...

    Questions about the parade in July

    We're taking a trip in late July (19-24) and I'm trying to figure out FPs in case we need to change our ADRs around. I've got a few questions about the daily parade and any help is appreciated! Are there usually two parades in July? Like one at 12 and one at 3? Or one at 3 and one at night...

    Fireworks Dessert Party with Plaza Garden Viewing?

    If it's in your budget (for plaza garden its $60, less for younger kids), I would definitely do it. It reduces stress so much by not having to worry about finding a good spot, making sure everyone can see, and crowds. Ask on the CMs working the party for a to-go box. It's hard to eat as much as...

    Best Counter Service?

    We would, but for some meals we don’t have time to eat at a full service restaurant. I agree with you about Mythos though, not a particular bad experience but just not big fans

    Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire Question

    We have tickets for 1/1. To anyone who has already done it, can the gear fit a plus sized person? I know there are some chairs in the rides at WDW and Universal that have issues with this and want to make sure that everyone in my party will be able to experience and enjoy this.

    Best Counter Service?

    From what I've read and personal experience, that seems to be the truth. When we went to Universal four years ago, we could tell it was a definite step down from Disney. I had hoped it changed in the past few years but that doesn't seem to be the case. We're planning on doing a couple table...
