Unless you're naturally awake at 12:01am, I wouldn't bother staying up late to book FP+ selections, esp if you're 60 days out. We had no problems making same-day FP+ selections and generally no issues at all getting the time(s) we wanted. Our strategy was to book our FP+ selections for popular...

Were you able to do this personally? I have an S&D res but wasn't able to link that to my MDE account and thus, it didn't recognize me as having a reservation that would qualify for MagicBands. S&D DO qualify for MM+, but it works differently than MagicBands. You go to a special S&D kiosk in...

Is having an air mattress or something like that explicitly dis-allowed if you aren't over capacity? In our case, we tend to have pretty active child sleepers and whichever adult sleeps in the same bed tends to get a pretty crappy night's rest so we thought we'd just setup an air mattress in...

Wow, what a collection, you should figure out a way to frame it, or collect them like baseball cards as they are (quite literally) going out of style. For my part, I would LOVE to own an FP dispenser as a souvenir. I doubt Disney would ever do that since people could start printing their own...

We weren't thrilled about the dining experience at H&V, it seemed like a typical buffet without any real highlights. We skipped Fantasmic during our trip in Dec but even during peak crowds, if you lined up 45-60mins early, you'd have no problem getting a seat. Closer to 15-30 minutes before the...

Unfortunately, nobody other than an "insider" is likely to be able to answer most of your questions around when a park will deploy FP+ only until the date is quite near. If a park goes FP+ only, I imagine that like AK, they will have FP+ kiosks stationed near many attractions. As well, every...

During Dec 20-30, we were able to walk into the park and provided we made selections before noon, we had no trouble getting a time for the attractions below. Here's a sampling of what we were able to get (I generally targeted early-mid afternoon for my selections since stand-by in the morning...

Another approach to getting a prime spot for MK fireworks is to book an FP+ spot for MSEP. Once that's over, you can remain where you are (front side of the hub) which grants you a pretty good view of the fireworks. Plus you get to see the Celebrate the Magic castle show, which itself is pretty...

Despite the kiosks being non-ideal, we had no problems getting our same-day FP+ selections during Christmas/New Year week. As such, I'm not too worked up/concerned about the advanced FP+ selections. We kinda like to choose which park to go to last-minute anyway and I'd be less psyched about...

Another vote for Polynesian. We've stayed at a number of the deluxe resorts before and Poly wins by a long mile. For our family, we really like: * the theming is amazing * nice, big rooms that comfortably fit a family of 4 or 5 * it's right on the MK monorail AND you can walk to the...

Contemplating staying at Animal Kingdom Villas for the first time (in a studio) but we were hoping to bring an airbed to give each occupant more space. It's not obvious from the floorplans that a studio at AKV will fit an airbed. I'm wondering if anyone has tried?

Ah, that must be it. I always figured that the rose by itself couldn't send out a strong enough signal to be caught by the roving carts. I never noticed anything built into the tables themselves. That's really cool and I love how it's just "part of the magic".

Ate at BoG for lunch (we didn't have MagicBands so we got a Rose). When I asked the CM who brought our food, she would only say "Magic!". Obviously the rose has some sort of rfid but those things have pretty limited range. Do their carts have some version of "warmer, warmer, colder" indicators...
