    Hollywood Studios Wait Times

    Thanks all! Just knowing what to expect will help. Will be interesting to see how much more bearable lines will be since they should always be moving due to lack of Fastpass.

    Hollywood Studios Wait Times

    Planning a quick trip down to Disney next week to take advantage of the lower crowds. The waits are pretty moderate in all of the parks....except Hollywood Studios. In Animal Kingdom - Flights of Passage is 5 minutes and Everest is 15 minutes. Similar waits in the other parks. In Hollywood...

    Fastpass before official start of Very Merry Christmas Party

    I am coming to Orlando mainly to visit Universal Studios, but we have decided to attend a Very Merry Christmas Party as well. We will not otherwise be visiting Disney, so we do not have any other tickets or passes. I have read mixed messages about whether we will be able to book fastpasses...

    How many miles did you put on the shoes?

    We were in the parks for 6 days in April. We averaged over 19,000 steps per day (or almost 9 miles per day). For the 6 days total we walked 53.96 miles or 114,335 steps.

    Override/Bypass AC motion control at Pop Century

    We just stayed there a few weeks ago and had no issues with the AC turning off. If anything, they worked a little too well at times. The room appeared to have a motion sensor, but I don't ever recall coming back to a hot room or getting hot during the night. So maybe they have disabled that...

    PotC Down for Days

    Agreed, if we had not been scheduled to be in AK during the days of the Pandora mess, I doubt we would have noticed. Also, due to the advanced scheduling that is now the norm, switching days to go back to AK was very difficult. Again, nothing was a "vacation killer", but we did start to feel a...

    PotC Down for Days

    Just returned from a trip that ended on May 1st. Was affected by the Pandora issues which was very frustrating. However, what was more frustrating was the frequency of other rides going down. People mover went down at least 3 times when we were in line for it. We got to ride Splash Mountain...

    Disney Glitches/Malfunctions

    In COP, we were in the last scene and at some point John reaches up from behind the kitchen island, except his hand was missing. It had clearly fallen off recently, because the CM had no idea when we told him. We just laughed, but i think it caught a few children off guard and scared them a...

    Walt Disney World Impressions - A Decade Later

    I have to disagree with the OP about the Frozen Sing Along. We went to take a mid-day break and found it to be very entertaining. While the sing-along portion was not our cup of tea, the hosts made the show. They had excellent comedic timing and jokes that entertained everyone. My mid 30's...

    WDW Overlays

    I may be in the minority, but after visiting Disneyland, I am glad that Disney World does not utilize many overlays. I found the Space Mountain overlay to be distracting and somewhat pointless. However, I really disliked the Haunted Mansion overlay. It felt like the designers went out and...

    Long Fastpass+ Lines... What Gives?

    I have seen a few things that I think contribute to longer/congested FP lines. One is a language barrier between guests and CM's. I saw multiple times on my last trip, guests who did not speak English, not understanding why they couldn't use the FP line anytime they wanted to ride something...

    How to get Be Our Guest?

    We were at Disney a few weeks ago. In order to get BOG lunch reservations, we pieced together multiple reservations for 1 person. I was able to keep checking and found 4 reservations for 1 person each within 10 minutes of each other (2 at 1pm and 2 at 1:05). So that is another option if your...

    Soarin' Over the World: My Review...One World: Unacceptable

    In response to the person saying you cannot see the distortion with the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower on the West Coast, I disagree. I was at Disneyland last week and the distortion was extremely pronounced when you are sitting anywhere other than the center. I went in with zero preconceived...

    Can't get Be Our Guest at 180 day 6am mark - what am I missing?

    We just hit 180 days today, and were able to get BOG...yay! Let me just say, have patience! We had to exit and enter the system many times before it would display our reservation correctly. Also, it would tell me while searching for BOG that it could not search for times. It took a good 45...

    HELP! ADR FRUSTRATION

    I have a question about making dining reservations. We have three adults going on the same resort reservation, all with their own accounts on mydisneyexperience.com. We are really hoping to get a Be Our Guest reservation and as we have a shorter on-site stay, and three MVMCP's while we are...

    Osborne Lights Christmas 2015

    I didn't realize that Streets of America would be gone...guess we better take the opportunity if it is there this year. Thanks for the help!

    Osborne Lights Christmas 2015

    Hi All, my family is trying to plan our 2015 trip to Disney World and my mother keeps mentioning visiting when the Osborne Lights will be up. I have read hints or opinions that the lights may not be up this coming holiday season due to the expected changes at Hollywood Studios. Has that ever...

    Fastpass+ and kid swapping??

    That makes sense, and seems to be the way it would and should work if someone is waiting in the standby line. I don't understand Disney not requiring all parties to have a FP if they are all going to get the benefit what seems to be basically all using the FP line (one parent uses a FP, the...

    Fastpass+ and kid swapping??

    I’m a little confused by this system. Was this the intent of the system, or a product of the fact that CM’s don’t know whether you waited in the regular line or the FP+ line when you are exiting the ride? If you receive the rider swap voucher (or whatever you get), while progressing through...
