I’ll preface this by saying that I know they haven’t been officially released yet, but… I’m visiting on the 6th of August. Knowing that Magic Band +’s were going to be released, I waited to order Magic Bands, and of course, the day I was going to order them thinking that the +’s wouldn’t be...

We’re heading to WDW next month (me, wife, 2 two kids, 8 & 7), and we’re doing two days at MK. The original plan was to (loosely) following a touring plan, and originally I was thinking day one at MK would be a bunch of running around and hitting as many attractions as possible, and then day two...

Somebody asked this question on Reddit the other day, and although we already have ADRs at Liberty Tree Tavern, which we’ve eaten at in the past and really like, the answers got me second guessing and thinking we should give Skipper Canteen a shot. When originally booking ADRs, I skipped over...

We’re (me, wife, 2 daughters) staying at OKW in August, and through Touring Plans’ room request tool, I am requesting a 3rd floor room near Hospitality House. Does anybody have any input as to the pros and cons of this request? I’m not too concerned about noise levels or views or anything like...

This post is basically just to help out anybody who, like me, hasn’t been to WDW in a while and forgot a lot of the ADR strategies. I’ll preface by saying that I’ve read up a lot on ADRs and even read The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2022. But one key thing that I failed to put the...

Anybody who's seen my posts in the last few weeks knows that I'm a bit of a crowd-size queen; or king in my case. Anywho...I've been reading up on tips to avoid crowds, and a recurring theme is "DON'T GO TO EPCOT ON THE WEEKENDS DURING THE FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL!" During my upcoming August trip...

I'm going down in August, and I bought the Touring Plans advanced crowd calendar (I know...not everybody likes it). When I booked my park reservations, August 12th was a 3 on the crowd calendar for Magic Kingdom, and it never occurred to me to check when Mickey's Not-So-Scary started, because...

I’m currently 66 days out from my trip, so I’m putting on the finishing touches to my dining plans, and I noticed on Disney’s website that for character dining, it says “The Character Dining experience is currently modified at this location.” I called WDW-DINE to get clarification on this...

I know they stopped putting out DVDs, so I figured I’d be able to find them online somewhere, but the closest thing I’ve been able find is the 2019 planning video on a YouTube channel I don’t think is even associated with Disney. Anyway….is there some place I can find the latest planning video?

It's been 9 years since I've been to WDW, so obviously, things have changed, and I want to make sure I understand the ADR process: We hit the 60 day period in 16 days. I seem to remember that if you were staying on property, you could book ADR's 10 days in advance of that 60 day period (which...

My family is going for a 7-day visit in August. It's my younger daughter's birthday on the last day, and I'm thinking it might be a treat to tack on another night at AKL with a savannah view so we can wake up to the sight of the animals on our last day. My question is, is it worth it? I've...

We went on a Disney cruise in pre-pandemic 2020, and we paid for it using gift cards that you can get at a discount at our local wholesale club. I was wondering if I could do the same with tickets at WDW, or, if like many other things, they used the pandemic as an excuse to do away with this...

The title pretty much says it all. I'm taking my first trip since 2013 (first ever with kids) in the second week of August, and it seems that so much has changed, I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around what I need to know. So tell me...what do I need to know?

Hopefully I did my forum search properly and this isn't posted anywhere else: I believe Disney when they say that, "The sole intent...was to foster kids' interest in science and technology," and I can think of no logical financial reason that Disney would want to promote fracking individually...

Does anybody else think that they should pump this song into the Norway pavilion as real, authentic Norwegian music? Or maybe they should replace the video after Maelstrom with this one.

My wife and I are contemplating buying into DVC. We live in Massachusetts, so I expect it'll still be tough to get down to WDW more than once every 2 or 3 years as it costs a couple thousand dollars for expenses other than lodging. Fortunately, there are a number of RCI propoerties near us that...

I was messing around with Bing maps today, and I came across something that I think other people might find interesting. If you take an aerial view of the FLE and zoom all the way in, they have a satellite image of what that area looked like before construction started. When you zoom out...

So I was making my daily entry for One More Disney Day when I noticed the poll they have up on the site. Here's a screen grab. I haven't been down in a while, so I was wondering; is piloting the monorail back? If not, does this mean that it's soon to come back? P.S. - Sorry if this is a...

I've been reading a lot about the Aladdin Magic Carpet Ride becoming the 2nd Dumbo ride for the FLE and I was just wondering if people actually knew this to be true or if it was just speculation?

OK, so I posted this same question in the Animation, Motion Pictures, etc category a couple of weeks ago, but got no responses. I'm hoping that there's a little more success here in the General Discussions section... Anyway, I was watching Back to the Future II a couple of weeks ago when I...
