We need to activate our APs, and have heard that GS at MK is a long wait. We will stay at SSR. What is the best GS to use?

It really depends on the time of day. I've walked up 2nd in the queue many times. They may be able to do it at your resort, as well.

Disney Springs. We needed to do something at guest services and just happened to be going to DS. There were no lines, no waits and plenty of CM's there waiting for a guest that needed their attention. I think the park GS's have to deal with so many more issues from guest having problems than what might happen at DS.

Any chance of somebody explaining what all the letters mean
AP's ?, GS?, MK?, SSR?. At least have the decency to use the full term in a post before trottiing out all the Two or Three Letter Acronyms (TLA's) see how easy that was. Not everybody was born in Walt Disney World (WDW)

That reads a little confrontational. Most of the acronyms are fairly easy to figure.
GS = Guest Services
MK = Magic Kingdom
AP = Annual Pass
SSR = Saratoga Springs Resort

We often arrive the night before, schedule a little time at DS, and get it done there with no wait so it’s out of the way for the next morning.

International Gateway (the back entrance that is accessed by Yacht and Beach Club* and Boardwalk* resorts) at EPCOT. Small area, 2 windows, never a long line. Yet they know what they are doing. Parking at those resorts is for those specific resort guests but we have honestly several times explained to the guard at the resort gate that we want to activate or purchase our AP. Especially if it is at the end of the day near closing time when you won't be parked there very long, they should let you in. (*YBC and BW or BWI).

You're joking right? Everyone here knew what he was talking about and he's obviously soliciting recommendations from experts. The experts, in particular, know what he's talking about.

At one time none of us knew what those acronyms meant, so asking shouldn't be looked down upon.

Nope...don't take a guess on this kinda thing, please?

I don't mind him asking, but read his tone. "At least have the decency..."
He's also been a member since 2008 and has two posts in that time. I sense a troll.

agreed...not only that - the acronyms get way too out of control.
I saw HEA Roving around before it ever had the fuse lit.
Some posts have 5-10 acronyms. It's like it's "trendy" or something at times...but it's really not.
And the context is very important, too. Answer this question: what's the best place to eat at FW?

International Gateway for Epcot is my favorite. You can do it at a lot of ticket windows usually so try those too. Disney Springs has gotten worse with lines so I would pick IG first and DHS second. Their lines particularly now are not that long

Whatever GS you are closest to. I've had long waits at MK, I've had no waits at MK. I've had long waits at DS, and no waits at DS. Trying to predict the shortest GS line is kind of like trying to predict the wait at SM vs BTMRR without using the app. You might be lucky, or you might be stuck behind someone trying to buy their AP using only pennies.
