A little context here - We live in the UK and we're planning a return to WDW in 2026 - we last visited nearly 10 years ago and we're finding that so much has changed (not just the prices !!). We are planning on staying in a Disney Moderate (POFQ) and we will be buying 14 day WDW park tickets...

From the FAQ section of SEAWORLD ORLANDO'S website today (Sept 21 2024) - SeaWorld Orlando allows guests to re-enter the park with a proper hand stamp and valid admissions ticket. Before leaving SeaWorld Orlando, guests must get their hand stamped. When guests return to the SeaWorld Orlando...

I haven't visited WDW in many years. We always ate at R&C at an outside table to watch Illuminations (long before they got greedy and charged you extra for the privilege). Now unless things have changed there is (or was) a canopy covering the outdoor seating area - very handy if it should rain...

180 days !!! ANYBODY can book a table at WDW up to 180 days in advance. You don't need a resort booking or anything EXCEPT a ticket into the park if your chosen restaurant is in a park

December 6th is Mickey's Very Magical Christmas Party night - it's a hard ticket event and unless you have a ticket you'll be out of the park by around 6pm, Go visit Monday 5th - MK will be busy both days but you'll get more hours to do it in on Monday

DHS ???? Star Tours, Rock'N'Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Toy Story Mania, Fantasmic.................. You can't go to WDW and miss these

At Table Service / Buffet meals - when your waiter / waitress first arrives at your table, advise them that you're on the DP - they will take one of your MDE cards to check that you have sufficient (and the correct type of) credits for the meal that you're about to order. Once that's over with...

You'll be let into the park in plenty of time to walk at a leisurely pace to the castle, and take all the pictures you need. I would expect you to be allowed into the park at least 15-20 minutes prior to your dining slot

I don't believe that you can do TOO MANY character meals. What better way to rest your tired legs, eat AND get the characters to come to you ? As long as you visit different locations and see different characters then you can't go wrong. My recommendations would be - Crystal Palace at MK for...

You won't be going to MK on all 4 or 5 days (will you ?) so I would suggest that the hotels bus service would be adequate on those mornings. On MK days I'd look at booking a taxi.

Since I am both the law and the judge you cannot win - I'm getting immensely tired of your pettiness so I will leave you to go and cause trouble with someone else YAWN

Perhaps you should start your reply with IMO - you state "I believe" therefore you have an opinion ??? Don't preach if you can't uphold your own high standards

Sorry, just who are you to state that I am morality police ??? I am posting an opinion (I don't consider it necessary to type "IMO" or perhaps I would have done), as after all - almost everything posted on here is an opinion. IMO you should take your sarky comments elsewhere

A party of 2 ( for example) making an ADR for a party of 4 to ensure that the party of 2 manage to eat there is being selfish - it is deliberately depriving a party of 3 or 4 from booking that table. Therefore that is selfish. However, if the party of 2 showed up at the restaurant and were...

Nothing would "happen" to @Innkeeper's Club if a table for 3, 4 or 17 were booked and only 2 showed up. The MORAL question is "is that really fair on other diners, to DELIBERATELY overbook a table for your own selfish gains" If I found out that I couldn't get a reservation for my party of 3...
