Thanks for the scoop!

Does anyone know anything about the room refurb schedule? Or lobby for that matter? Considering booking a March 23 stay but would rather not stay in the throes of ongoing refurb. Have scrolled through a ton of threads and haven’t found that info!

Dang - I was hoping that these two things signaled F! was headed back soon: (1) Several Rivers of America attractions on refurbishment until Sept 20 and (2) crazy lack of availability of Blue Bayou reservations this fall (thought maybe they’re holding reservation capacity so they can sell...

Actually, so strange...when I looked last night all of the Art values showed up. I think 3 values in total. Today, none! Seems they are doing something with their vacant rooms but no clue what...

I see several values for the dates of Nov 2-8 (dates of my upcoming trip!).

I’m going that same week. I’m hoping that it will be a relative lull given it’s the week in between Christmas and Halloween parties. However I can’t be the only smart cat who realizes that, so I’m also wondering if maybe it’s a popular week to go for that very reason! Touring Plans puts it at a...

Interesting they still haven’t added more early morning magic (ticketed morning event at MK) dates despite adding after hours ones. Am guessing it’s because they’re still determining EMH/park opening time? Anyone know anything about the future of that event / any wagers?

Hi - could you change my username to Hatboxer? Also, just wondering how one loses the “new member” label? I’m a member since 2016/2017 but maybe I lurk too much and am still labeled as new as a result.

I’ve never been to TSI but we had a blast at the DL equivalent. Im pretty sure the kids (age 5 at the time) had more fun on the island than the rest of the park! I’m headed to MK in November and am planning on having an “easy day” with a late start, country bears, Riverboat, Tom Sawyer island...

One more tip on max pass: make sure to take advantage of the 90 minute window while you’re on breaks. We took a pool break one day, and I was able to line up 3 fast passes for when we returned to the park, just to get us started (got a couple more after that). Takes some getting used to versus...

Yes good point, I was likely not there early enough to get the true rope drop benefit. We were in the hub ‘corral’ when it opened officially, but likely not close enough to the front. If one can get there for a 15 min wait, thats probably worth doing.

You’re going to have an amazing time, your plan looks great! I have never had good luck rope dropping PP at DL. Both times I tried, I found it stressful...and the line was pretty immediately to 30-40min so I ended up skipping it. You’ll probably wait about that long later in the day, but at...

I got a reservation too, and there was tons of availability thanks to getting the early heads up. Thank you!

Separate from the secret “project,” does anyone think that the rumored paid fastpass could be announced at d23 at the parks panel? Doesn’t seem like something they would roll out with a lot of fanfare given the potential backlash, but... possible? I haven’t really followed d23 in years past so...

Has anyone done this event yet? I have it booked for my 7 and 4 year olds in November and would love to hear from anyone on how it actually was / whether your kids loved it.
