Massive upgrades are few and far between. However, during our trip in Nov. 2012, I only booked a standard-view room (thinking I'd get a view of the busses), but to our surprise, it was a partial savanna view! Granted, our 'savanna' view included a service road (probably for CM tending to the...

Another option: take the water taxi or walk over to DHS, pick up a bus to POFQ, then a bus back to DHS, and finally, take a water taxi or walk back to your resort. I would allot at least an hour of travel time (from waiting for your respective mode of transportation to the actual destination...

Once again, thank you so much for all your help! Does this plan sound right: -order park tickets and/or AP's -once tickets arrive, link them (including AP voucher) to our MDE account to each respective traveler -order our MB's -at 60-day mark or whenever our window opens, schedule our FP+'s...

1. No. However, it's a perk limited to Disney resort guests. 2.Kind of...if I don't mind waiting until the "day-of" and seeing what's available. After receiving said tickets, I could immediately link them to MDE, thus being able to participate in FP+ via MDE instead of via the ATM-like kiosk...

Just to get this crystal clear: I must link my park tickets (no matter where I purchased them) to my MDE account prior to my arrival date, preferable before my 60-day window opening in order to <gulp> 'schedule a FP+?' I cannot rely on my resort reservation alone in order to participate in FP+...

So, this system kind of stinks for people wanting to wait until arrival to buy tickets? My DH and I wanted to wait until we got there so we could physically exchange our gifted 5-day PH tickets toward 4 AP's for our family...this would not be wise? When I tried to renew our current AP's using...

Thank you! I can cross that concern off my list! Onto the next though: how can I participate in FP+ if I either A. buy my tickets or AP's after I arrive, or, B. buy my tickets only 3 weeks out from arrival? And, what are the chances that I will be able to select FP's for our "must-do"...

So, if I buy tickets from UnderCoverTourist.com, those tickets will be the hard plastic ones with the RFID (similar to my current AP)? If that's the case, then that's one question answered...thank you!

Just thought of something, if I don't have a Magic Band, how can I "tap my way" thru a park entrance and use FP+? We are not buying a package from Disney, just staying on points at VGF. Do we need to visit a ticket kiosk in front of a park entrance to exchange our paper tickets for an RFID...

So, if I have a resort reservation (staying at VGF), I can schedule FP+ despite not having my tickets in hand? And, when I do get said tickets (ours might be AP's...but, I'm now rethinking that), I can link them to my account, even if they're bought from an off-site vendor? I want more time to...

Good to know! But how will us not having our tickets until shortly before arrival affect our touring of the parks via FP+? Will we miss our opening with "keeping up with the Jones'" by not scheduling a FP for say Soarin' at the 60-day mark because we don't have our tickets yet? I'm still...

I've been twice: 2007 & 2009, and currently have a trip planned for Feb. 7-15th. Those past trips, I remember the weather being a bit unpredictable (from possible shorts & t-shirts to bundle-up-winter-gear). I suggest, pack and wear layers. I don't remember the crowds being too bad, then...

I kind have the same questions as well...however, we weren't planning our buying ours until a month out from our arrival date. Interested at seeing how your concern is addressed?!

O.K., so I "thought" I had the logistics of the new FP+ system, Magic Bands, and MDE figured out...but after reading through several threads and hearing about 'the fiasco/glitch' at DHS and EP the other day, I am getting even more confused and extremely nervous for my upcoming trip in Feb. 2014...

Honestly, upper management should be fielding those positions throughout this roll out. Better yet, place the members of that brain-trust meeting out front, so they can hear and see and experience FP+ in all its faded glory. I am a planner by nature, but there's always, and should always be...

It sounds like the other woman's insurance co. is just "passing the buck" along. How frustrating for you! But, I guess there's a yin and yang to everything in life...you're very diligent about getting correct information in a timely manner, while it sounds like the other party and her...

Still waiting for Disney to release SWW dates...if trends are continuing though, I'll be waiting until December for those dates. However, based on guesstimations, those dates will either follow: 2010-2013 trends: began 10 days before Memorial Day 2014: May 16 - June 8 2009: began Memorial Day...

Well, at least you had CAKE WARS to take your mind off of 'things,' even if for a little while! Good gracious, I feel so bad since you're feeling so bad...I have a similar story to share that involves my older sister: she was slammed into on the driver's side of her vehicle by an older woman...

The above video is pretty spot on! We stayed in a studio @ BWV and the only difference between our room and the one in the video: the bench sitting across from the bed was not in our room...in its place were the table and chairs. Our room also had a door that would connect to a 1-bedroom...

That's what I was thinking as well...I sure hope it turns out that way, because that's the only weekend that's reasonable enough to spring the surprise on my sister! Otherwise, I will have to hold off this year...yet another "planned event" to reschedule. Ah well, there are worse things in life!
