    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Hi all, not sure if this is the correct place for this so apologies if not. My Dad suffers with severe claustrophobia that causes him to have panic attacks and a need to find an open space- he has been known to run out of a hotel room if he wakes up in the night in the dark!- and has qualified...

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    Disney have said that but she didn’t book through Disney- be honest I don’t know what the travel agencies here have said but I’d be surprised if Virgin, for example, would have offered to refund her her entire 2 weeks stay, and change her flights free of charge to leave early. Its just more...

    Hurricane Milton coming to FL

    A lot of guests there will be international guests who were unable to leave. I’ve got a friend there from the UK currently, arrived Monday, would have lost a lot of money if she’d come home early and forfeited the remaining 14 days of her holiday. I totally understand the thought that guests...

    Active Shooter Scare/Lockdown at Magic Kingdom (Ended up being no shooter)

    I was in MK on Tuesday and saw 3 “fight” incidents during the day- one where a Dad was shouting so loudly and going for members of his family that it was really quite scary, people were backing away. I can see how easily things could escalate into panic. I’m from the UK and was on my first solo...

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    I’m group 30 and just got called at 5pm. I’ve left the park as it’s a party night so that’s my third fail on attempting to ride during my trip. Maybe next time!

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    I was group 15 yesterday and didn’t make it as I’d left by the time I was called (at 3.30pm…) I’m group 30 today. Still not open as of 10am. Not convinced I’ll be riding today either!

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    I got boarding group 15 this morning… hedged my bets on it being down first thing, went to Epcot, have also been to Animal Kingdom and have just arrived at MK. And still… nothing!

    Do I need a credit card to check in?

    That's brilliant, thank you!

    Do I need a credit card to check in?

    Hi all, I'm coming on a solo trip at the end of August. Usually when we travel we use my husband's credit card if one is needed upon checkin- I've never travelled solo before! I don't have a credit card- do I need to get one for Disney, or would a debit card suffice? Also, how much money would...

    End of January/February time- experiences?

    Hi everyone, I have been tied to visiting during UK school holidays my entire adult life, but I am finally thinking about leaving teaching and potentially visiting WDW at the end of January/start of February 2024. What are the crowds like around this time? How is the weather? Are there any...

    News Happily Ever After fireworks show returning to Magic Kingdom in 2023

    I did wonder if it was to do with the wind- it has been incredibly windy! Totally understand that it has to be safe, was just curious. My parents first trip in 5 years and likely their last, we’re from the UK and they’re Disney’d out… but perhaps I can convince them to come back once more in...

    News Happily Ever After fireworks show returning to Magic Kingdom in 2023

    Tinkerbell wasn’t in Happily Ever After tonight- does she not fly anymore or was this a one off that she wasn’t in it? My Dad was gutted, it’s his favourite part!

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Landed last night from the UK and by the time we got to our resort it was midnight, so I went to purchase. Jaw actually dropped open 😂 We booked our trip before Tron was announced as opening today. I knew prices would be high at Easter but didn’t expect that much!

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    I’m coming from the UK with my parents for their first time in 6 years and our first park day is… April 4th 😂 I’ve never been in the parks for a ride opening, are we going to be a part of absolute chaos? Will the rest of the park be quiet or is that wishful thinking? I did our park reservations...
