    Vacation rentals close to parks?

    I’m planning a family trip to DL in 2025. There will be 9 of us so we’d need at least 3 hotel rooms, which adds up even at the good neighbor hotels. The Unofficial Guide suggested renting through VRBO or AirBNB. They would be MUCH more economical and some say they are within walking distance to...

    Best Gluten free cake

    Going the first week in Dec with my daughter, fiancé, and their two kids. She would like to get married while we’re there (very small - just the six of us) so I would like to get a small cake. But she is gluten sensitive so it would need to be gluten free. I know there are several bakeries that...

    Tours at AK

    We are taking my daughter’s family (grandsons 4.5 & 2.5 yrs) and staying at Ft. Wilderness Dec 1-10. She is a vet tech and LOVES AK. I am debating on surprising her with a special tour. They used to have one that took you behind the scenes on how they care for the animals (showing more of their...

    Ft Wilderness - Parking our RV after checkout

    Check out at the Fort is 11:00, and we have a brunch reservation at Homecomin’ at 11:15. Is there a place for us to park our truck/trailer after check out so we can go to Disney Springs and maybe to MK?

    Reservations for Candlelight Processional Dining packages start Oct 26

    Does anyone know for sure what time in the morning? I’ve heard both 6am and 7 am EST. With only 4 restaurants participating I think they’ll go fast so I want to be ready. Also, it says they’re offering both lunch and dinner packages, but only one price point??? In years past lunch was usually...

    Fort Wilderness - Requesting a campsite

    Staying at the fort for the first time Dec 5-11. Made reservations for a preferred site so I know we’ll be in either loops 100, 200, or 300. Did online check-in through MDE and noticed “room requests.” But they just have drop-down menus to choose from - no where I could see to make specific site...

    Getting to the parks from Ft Wilderness

    Have been going to WDW for YEARS, but this is our first time staying at the Fort. All of our other trips we have only used Disney transportation because we didn’t have a car. This time we will. I know we can take the ferry to MK, but is it better/faster to drive to the other parks or take the...

    Is the Magic Band selection going to get any better?

    Not only is the selection in MDE bad, but it’s not much better on Disney Store.com either. Are they having supply issues or are they just not going to carry many?

    Magic Band vs Apple watch

    Curious to hear from those who have tried using your Apple Watch in place of a Magic Band. Does it work as well as Disney says it should? Trying to minimize my he amount of “bands” I need to wear!

    Do we still need park reservations when back to full capacity??

    Chapek mentioned being back to full capacity by fall. There has also been much speculation that park reservations will continue well into 2022. I understand the need for park reservations while limiting capacity, but why would this need to continue once they’re back to full capacity? I really...

    Disney Magic is alive and well!

    My husband, sister and I just returned from our WDW trip Dec 8-14. We had been planning it for over a year. On Nov 8 our 30yr old daughter, who suffered from lung disease, was hospitalized with double pneumonia. She passed away on Nov 22. Now, my first instinct was to cancel the trip. However...

    Paying for room only reservation ahead of check in

    Never had a room only reservation before, and I understand the balance isn’t due until check in. I would like to pay in full before I arrive. Will they let me do that and should I call Disney’s main line or the resort directly?

    Ways of prepaying for food other than the dining plan?

    We have done the dining plan in the past. DH loves it - he loves that everything is already paid for before the trip even begins; no credit card bills after we get home and no need to bring lots of cash. But, I have crunched the numbers and it’s cheaper for us NOT to do the DDP. I’m wondering if...

    Military Discounted tickets and MDE

    My husband and I are taking my sister to WDW Dec. 8-14. She is a military widow, and can get the special promo 5 day military passes. We already have a room only reservation at CR. My question is will we be able to link those passes to MDE in order to do FP reservations? We also want to add DDP...

    CBR Buses

    What is the order of the bus stops at CBR? This is our first stay there, and I've read that the main complaint is the buses because the resort is so large. We will be in a pirate room and am wondering if that is one of the first or one of the last stops. Would it be worth it to walk to a...

    New color on castle spires?

    Another fan site posted pics of some of the castle spires being painted silver. They said they asked 3 different cast members if they were changing the color of the spires, and got 3 different answers: 1) Yes, they were; 2) Just repainting- they use silver as a base coat and then blue on top...
