Hi all On my last trip, as well as having a MagicBand and the app (and my entry pass in Google Wallet), I also got a physical KTTW card as a backup. As I still have this card, will I be able to reuse it if/when I go next time (obviously reset/recharged with new information) or would I have to...

Hi all It's been a couple of weeks since my return from my tenth trip to WDW. I've just finished transcribing the notes I made while I was away and now I'm ready to post my trip report for your viewing pleasure. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had experiencing it. But first, an...

Hi all - I'm heading to WDW from the UK in a few weeks time. Despite this being my 10th trip, there's been a lot of changes since last time and I therefore have some questions. 1. As part of the UK package we purchased, we get a "celebration gift basket", which I understand contains all sorts...

Hi all Earlier today, I was able to successfully link my September 2020 reservation to my MDE account. Everything appears on my account when I view it on the website, but if I view my plans from the app, the hotel doesn't appear. My tickets seem to be linked though. Is there a lag between...

Hi all You may remember that a few months ago, I returned from my ninth WDW trip as seen here: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/wdw-trip-9-500-days-of-waiting-completed.926455/. Originally, we were going to return to the world three years later, as was the custom. Our plans have changed...

On my last trip back in September, I roder FOP for the first time. I had deliberately stayed away from finding out too much information about it. I stayed away from threads describing it. I avoided POV videos on Youtube. All I knew was the basic information about it - that it was a banshee...

Back in September, we went to the Coca Cola store at Disney Springs. When using the lift (sorry, elevator) to go to the upper levels, we noticed a really bad smell. To put it delicately, it smelled like an unpleasant farmyard or the rhino enclosure at the zoo or if someone had done their...

Hi all I was looking at ES File Explorer on my phone earlier and it found a file supposedly created by the MDE app called "sync_report_WDW.txt". The file is small and simply contains the text "WDW REPORT START Jul 8, 2017 08:53", followed by some underlines. I've noticed this file appear...

Hi all So as of this evening, it became official. In a little over 500 days time, I will be embarking on my ninth WDW adventure. As with the previous eight trips, there's always something new to discover or something different to experience and I hope to document it here. Alas, 500 days is a...

How easy/difficult is it to amend a reservation to add days on either side of a trip? For instance, if we booked a trip and then decided to arrive a day earlier, is there an additional cost involved (aside from the extra day's stay)?

Hi all 18 months on from our last trip to WDW, we are in the exciting stages of planning for the next one - tentatively scheduled for 18 months from now (September 2018). We were originally considering Coronado Springs or Port Orleans, but recently we've been finding ourselves drawn towards Pop...

Hi all Though we do not plan on visiting WDW until 2018, just out of curiosity, we checked out the DDP information for 2017 to see what differences there were. I understand from Googling around that some of the non-Disney restaurants may be missing from the list due to finalising arrangements...

Has anyone had a memorable encounter (good, bad, funny, weird) with another guest at WDW? Mine was from my trip back in September. I covered it briefly in my trip report. Anyway: One evening, my brother and I were going to head off to EPCOT to meet our folks for our dinner reservation. When we...

A couple of times on various trips, I've heard songs in attractions and I've misheard the lyrics with hilarious results. Below are my two examples (misheard bits in bold): From the Haunted Mansion: Now don't close your eyes, And don't try to hide. Or a silly spook may sit by your side...

Hi all We just returned from our trip, and during the trip we went to the supermarket at Crossroads - the name of which temporarily escapes me. We bought a few snack treats to take home with us, since there's bits and pieces we like that you can only get in the US (or which are very expensive...

Hi all With my trip coming up in less than two weeks (still feels weird saying that!), I've been tasked by other members of my party to find a decent Japanese steakhouse or Chinese restaurant not too far off campus from WDW. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Much appreciated!

Hi all I'm heading to WDW at the start of September. Though this will be my 8th visit, it will be my first with the new FP+ system. The rest of my party have explicitly stated that they don't want to book fast passes in advance of the trip because based on our last visit around the same time of...

Hi all! I have a couple of questions regarding backstage tours - specifically the Keys to the World tour. Firstly, has anyone actually been on this tour, and is it worth it? Secondly, is it possible to book these tours in advance via MDE and assign people to them later? Basically, I'd like to...

Hi all First of all, let me apologise if this has been posted before. I have a MDE account and I manage my brother on there. This was set up when we booked our September 2015 trip. My dad created his own MDE account for him and my mum for their trip which occurs at the same time. In the...

I've never done ADRs in advance, so my question is probably going to sound uber-noobish. I am right in thinking that ADRs can only be booked 180 days in advance? Is that 180 days from the start of the trip for anytime during the trip, or 180 days before the date you wish to dine? I figure it...
