    How to prioritize morning strategy

    1. VQ-these usually fill up in seconds, so they are your priority. If you don't get it, try again at 1pm 2. LL-Joining the VQ only takes a few seconds, so your top pick for LL will still be available after you join 3. ILL-This gives you the most time options and often doesn't sell out, so it...

    Share your happiest moment at WDW!

    There are so many wonderful memories, but one that stands out is riding Dumbo in its old location in the center of Fantasyland, while the fireworks when off overhead. Pure magic!

    Opinions Needed on DDP Dining Choices & MK Dessert Party Packages

    I have never attended a dessert party for two reasons. First, I don't feel that the view of the fireworks from the Tommorowland Terrace is very good. It's nice to have a seat, but I would rather stand and have a better view. Second, I love sweets, but there are only so many I can (or should)...

    Rivers of Light - Time for a reevaluation?

    I saw RoL once in 2019 and enjoyed it. However, I remember thinking at the time that it would not be a must-do each trip. Little did I know that it wouldn't even be an option! The problem with any nighttime show at AK is that they need to keep the noise and light levels down for the sake of...

    MNSSHP HELP

    Price is just one thing to consider when choosing which to do. These are two very different experiences. The main draws for the party are the special entertainment, unique character M&Gs and trick or treating, none of which are available during regular hours. A regular day ticket has longer...

    Best 3D/4D Film

    I voted for Philharmagic but have to give honorable mention to Magic Journeys. It was weird, trippy fun that perfectly captured its era. I still love the Sherman Brothers' title song.

    Other than Villains, what should the Beyond Big Thunder expansion be themed to?

    Of the options listed, I voted for Coco because it would be completely new and the transition from Frontierland would blend well. I am apparently one of the few here who has no interest in a Villains Lair in the Magic Kingdom. To me, the MK is about light, not dark (yes, I love the HM and know...

    Port Orleans Riverside Room Location

    All 5-sleepers rooms are in Alligator Bayou, so a standard room could be either there or Magnolia Bend

    News Disney After Hours at Walt Disney World (2024)

    It has been reported elsewhere that travel in general, and especially to WDW, is expected to be down this year. All the pent-up demand caused by Covid shutdowns has now been met, so no more "revenge travel".

    News Disney After Hours at Walt Disney World (2024)

    I just ran the numbers for a date in April and the AH ticket was virtually the same as a day ticket plus Genie+. Since the price is the same, you need to look at the pros and cons for each. For AH the pros are low or no wait times, "free" snacks, and no sunscreen needed! The cons are limited...

    I don't care what anyone says, I will always love...

    ...the days before Fastpass/Fastpass+/Lightning Lane. Everybody waited and the lines were shorter. You also didn't need to repeatedly crisscross the park or stare at your phone.

    Future of Magic Kingdom Nighttime Entertainment

    There's great potential for drones to add to the fireworks spectaculars like lasers and projections do. On their own, they are fun but less exciting, just like the projections-only shows. There is something about the ephemeral and slightly unpredictable nature of fireworks that makes them magical.

    First timer Summer 2024

    There is rarely, if ever, a time when all attractions are operating. No matter when you go, you will miss something. If Splash and Country Bears are your priority though, you have a much better chance of them being open if you wait until next spring. As mentioned, June and August are both very...

    DW experiences and crowd

    Holiday weekends are always crowded. Many schools also have their mid-winter recess that week, so the whole week will probably be busy. Personally, I avoid those weeks, but if that's not an option, be sure to bring your patience.

    Yes, you get early entry and all other resort benefits from the beginning of your check-in day until the end of your check-out day. Enjoy!

    GNSOAT Poll: Epcot

    It was totally by chance back in those pre-internet days when we didn't know every tiny detail in advance! I don't think the term "Nighttime Spectacular" has been coined yet, and it was completely unique to me. As each nation's lights came on, corresponding music played. You didn't know which...

    GNSOAT Magic Kingdom Poll

    For me, it's definitely Wishes, though I think Remember, Dreams Come True at DL is the GOAT anywhere.

    GNSOAT Poll: Epcot

    I was there, by chance, for the first showing of Illuminations, so it will always have a special place in my heart.
