Thanks everyone for your insights. We decided on Bay Lake Tower. Between my son, my mother, and my sister who is dealing with some health issues, the close proximity to MK (especially with the Halloween party) was the deciding factor. Filing away the rest of these to be used in the future!

Trying to decide between a few different hotel options for our upcoming trip. We're spending two days at MK (plus doing the Halloween party one of those nights), one day each at the other parks. There are four adults traveling, and we will have a two year old with us. We are looking at the...

Thank you. That's what I thought as well, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something!

Just want to confirm that the start time for reserving the initial three lightning lane picks is 7am 7 days beforehand if staying onsite. Disney's own website lists 7am EST, but my friend who is traveling at the end of the month was told 6am EST by their travel agent, and I want to definitively...

Yeah, room prices are definitely up from when I looked same time last year. Great. I'm sure a discount will become available at some point, but not surprised.

Glad to know I'm not the only one waiting for Nov/Dec dates for next year to open up...surprised it's this late.

Why not use a neck fan? We bought them for our trip last year and they were great for us. Hands free, super lightweight, and could keep them on nearly all the rides (the few you can’t, just store in the ride pouch or locker for the ride duration). Heres the one we used, but there’s a bunch out...

So I am planning a return to WDW next year, and after my sister begged me reconsider going during the summer due to the heat, I was looking at January dates as a possible alternative. Despite going to WDW in January multiple times I've always somehow missed being there at the same time as the...

Does anyone know if it's likely they would keep Tiana running in Jan/Feb, or if they'll shut it down for maintenance the way they used to Splash? Wondering since it's so new if they would just keep it up due to demand even though FL temperatures flucuate a little more during that timeframe.

Nine days left and it can’t fly by soon enough!

Fantastic, that’s very helpful. Thanks!

Does the park opening referred to mean the standard opening time, or the “early entry” opening time for on site guests? Want to make sure I’m calculating the two hour window from the right start point!

Most places we book for overall atmosphere, rather than specific dishes, but there are a few cases: We stopped going to Flying Fish when they pulled the potato wrapped red snapper from the menu. We immediately booked it for our upcoming trip when we realized it’s back on the menu. We book...

Fantastic. Didn’t think we would, but wanted to confirm! Thanks!

Might be a silly question but it’s been long enough I don’t recall offhand. We are booked at the Dolphin and have since made our dining reservations, etc. for our trip in late May. A better rate at the Dolphin has come up. If we cancel and rebook our room, will the system remove our dining...
