    First Time DLP Trip Report - Not What I Expected!

    Ditto. The whole side of the park from Pirates to Phantom Manor was shut down or shutting down before the fireworks every evening we tried, and cast members with lighted wands directed us toward the only open exits. We had hoped to find a snack (popcorn or a Mickey bar?) to enjoy on our way...

    First Time DLP Trip Report - Not What I Expected!

    Unfortunately, the pre-fireworks closures weren't limited to Fantasyland on our recent trip. But YMMV.

    First Time DLP Trip Report - Not What I Expected!

    Three nights, four days at DLP last month. Our first non-US park. We also stayed at Sequoia Lodge, and the AC could not keep up with our American expectations during the summer heatwave. We had maintenance come check; they told us that the temperature settings were just approximations, and...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I backed out of tons of potential LL choices before the final selection page because the time had changed. I also made and canceled several LL's when I decided (hoped) that I could find something that better fit our plans. The one time (out of six days) that my ILL changed times after...

    Hotel Slim Pickins

    When that happens, click on one of the "Special deal" resorts, then change the radio tab at the top to "Rooms." Click again on "View All Resorts" and the rack rates will show up.

    Purchasing Genie+

    Agree that the system may be repricing your tickets. But note, the price for Genie+ is closer to $16 per day/ per person with tax. So your cost to add would be $384 even with your original tickets.

    What do you think about the 7DMT?

    My family uses the ride as a chance to outdo one another on the associated ride video. After many trips, we know that you have to speed up your actions in real time so that they make sense in the slo-mo version.

    Trip Report (Completed)We tried to walk but you walk like a sloth.

    Watching this closely. I am tentatively planning to chase the extended hours if they switch for our week (the one following yours (post-Easter)). Would be an automatic change if they add MK extended hours on a different night the same week.
