    Resort Magic band vs. AP magic band

    If you don’t have a reservation, you don’t get a Resort MagicBand. AP MBs are different. You have to activate the AP before you can choose MBs. Once you’ve visited a park, the option to choose should show up in MDE. The MBs are mailed after you choose. ETA: Sorry, I forgot the ticket question...

    Kilimanjaro safari while pregnant?

    I would ask your doctor if a very bumpy, jarring truck ride is a problem. I suspect most pregnancies there wouldn't be an issue, but if there is, Disney is making sure they've warned you.

    Resort Magic band vs. AP magic band

    I'm Canadian, so it's different for me, or any "foreigner". If you live in the US, I believe the following applies: AP Magic Bands are mailed to your home. I believe you have to use the AP before the option to choose bands shows up. So your AP MBs won't get sent until after your first visit...

    Discounts for resorts

    I book through a Disney oriented agent. @Kingdom Konsultant is a board sponsor and one of her agents, @wannabeBelle takes care of booking, keeps track of discounts and will reach out if one applies to my reservation or if I can benefit by changing to a different room. Saves me all that stress.

    dining reservation cancellation periods

    From WDWInfo: Reservations can be cancelled up to 11:59 p.m. the day before the reservation to avoid the charge. To cancel, guests can call (407) WDW-CNCL, stop by any table service restaurant front desk, call (407) WDW-DINE, or use your My Disney Experience app.

    Tell me this trip makes sense and isn't (too) crazy

    Single days at WDW and DL are the most expensive option for those parks. If you have the time, I'd do at least two or three days at each. Regardless, it sounds like a fun trip.

    Dress code

    The information I quoted from them is backed up by other sources and my own experience. It's accurate.

    Dress code

    CRT has no dress code. This is from an old Moms' Panel post: "There is no specific dress code for dining at Cinderella's Royal Table. Since this restaurant is located within the theme park, you can wear whatever you would wear to visit the park on a normal day. Most of the adult diners will be...

    Dining Plan questions

    At Buffets, you'll be charged for a meal whether she eats or not. At Table Service restaurants you'll only be charged if you order for her (including a drink AFAIK), but not for nibbling from your plate. I believe Character Dining charges as well whether she eats or not. I'd confirm with your...

    Surprising kids with a trip

    I surprized my son in his teens. Picked him up from school and said I had an errand to run. As we were approaching the airport he got a call from his best friend wanting to make plans that evening... I said "tell him you'd love to, but will be in Disney World". I got a bemused "side-eye" from...

    If we assume Space 220 will be open but "walk-up only" during our visit, what should we expect?

    If there are no reservations, it's walk up and wait. Technically, not "in line", you'll likely be given a pager and/or told to remain in a specific area nearby [when you check-in, the CM usually makes a note in the system of what you're wearing or something distinguishing so when they're looking...

    Restaurants suddenly not accepting DDP?

    Every year. Third party restaurants negotiate with Disney. Until they reach agreement, they aren’t listed. Almost always end up listed, but there’s no guarantee. I wouldn’t cancel anything, if they’re not listed the day before, then it’s up to you if you want to try to find somewhere else. The...

    STK no longer on Dining plan

    Disney's site shows that STK doesn't take any Dining Plans: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/en_CA/dining/disney-springs/stk-steakhouse/

    STK no longer on Dining plan

    No. Each third party restaurant negotiates DDP with Disney every year. As a result, there is invariably a period at the end of every year and occasionally seeping into the new year where the list of restaurants is in flux and folks are unsure whether a given restaurant will or won't accept...

    Boarding Groups are confusing

    If your FP plans are set up to allow you at least an hour for shopping between rides, you can go during that hour within the two-hour arrival window they’ll give you when your boarding group is announced. If your FPs are set an hour and a half apart for their start times, that technically gives...

    In your experience, how accurate are the wait times on the app?

    The way they measure the wait time is to give a red tag to a guest when they enter standby and then measure the wait when they get to load. So the time reflects how long they already waited. If they waited 120 minutes, that’ll be posted as the “current” wait time. If it discourages people from...

    In your experience, how accurate are the wait times on the app?

    Any wait times are based on how long someone already waited in line, not how long someone entering standby will wait. First thing in the morning, the more popular rides will post how long they expect the wait to be based on recent days. Obviously, if the park has been open for twenty minutes, a...

    Reusing old magic band confusion

    Your colleague can’t use any of your family’s magic bands, they are assigned to each individual’s accounts. You can use your MBs for your own access to parks, etc. Depending how old the MB is the battery may not work for on-ride photos (they usually last two years or more), but will work for...
