    Do resorts sell spray sunscreen, and if so, any idea of cost?

    It is easy to find, and with just a small up charge, maybe a couple bucks more than you would pay elsewhere. You should be able to get it in either resort gift shops or in the parks.

    Official July 2023 Thread

    We will be at CBR from 7/26-7/31, before heading to the Gulf Coast for a few days. This is my oldest daughter’s graduation trip. I have raised her well, because she picked our usual summer trip to WDW! I just booked today and am hoping I don’t have too much trouble booking ADRs late. Our...

    Skyliner resort worth the extra $50/night?

    Personally, I would go for Pop, especially if you are planning an Epcot/HS heavy trip or have park hoppers. The pools and grounds are better, in my opinion.

    Got my ADRs set up today, after dealing with major glitches from 6:05 to about 8:30. Luckily, everything I wanted was still available once the website started behaving again. I did have some trouble getting anything I wanted on our arrival day for a party of 7, so we will try the Festival of the...

    We were trying to ride to RR around 9:30, so Epcot SL wasn’t running yet. They were letting guests with ADRs to Topolinos ride, but not anyone else. That said, my family was able to ride back from Riviera no problem. Brown Derby has multiple sections. I didn’t pay close attention to the...

    *** Official August 2021 thread ***

    We just finished (8/9-8/15) our 6 night, 5 park day trip and found it as magical as always. Wait times and crowds were the lowest we have ever seen. We always travel during school breaks and are used to much higher crowds. Our longest ride wait was for Little Mermaid, of all things (15 minutes.)...

    That would explain the insane line outside of ROTR queue in the last 2 hours of park opening on Saturday. I couldn’t figure out why so many people were backed up scanning in with boarding pass.

    I have 100 disposables packed for a 6 night trip for 4. Plus I will bring every cloth mask my 9 year old has! We haven’t found any disposables hat fit her, either too small or too big.

    Ghirardelli's Ice Cream in Disney Springs. How good is it?

    They do. But, they have better seating, and less crazy crowds. (If you can get an ADR or the walk up window reopens.)

    Ghirardelli's Ice Cream in Disney Springs. How good is it?

    I grew up near the original Ghiradhellis in CA (and loved it) and am an ice cream nut. It’s okay. Great sundae choices, but the taste doesn’t wow me. We have access to lots of excellent homemade ice cream where I live now, so we are spoiled. The lines and lack of seating are also frustrating. I...

    Best non-park lunch

    Sanaa or Grand Floridian Cafe (with walk to Poly for Dole Whip) are our favorites. I am not a fan of Disney Springs.

    I have a 7:55 reservation that I booked a week before the hours were extended to 8 pm. Restaurants typically don’t take reservations past closing. Maybe another hours extension is coming!

    We are headed to Pop 8/9-15! This is a redo of our cancelled 2020 trip. Smaller scale, due to increased costs, but the grandparents will be coming, only their 2nd time, so exciting! I did have trouble booking ADRs for our party of 7. We had to split as 3/4 for all meals. We got all our top...

    Weird Lunch Day

    It has a great menu, consistently good service, and is a real oasis from park business. I think you will enjoy it!

    Weird Lunch Day

    Enjoy! This is our only must do tradition. I always order the shrimp Caesar and a mega berry smoothie. My kids love it, and we have always had great service.

    Weird Lunch Day

    Grand Floridian Cafe is my favorite for MK days. Take a relaxing boat ride over,.

    Sanaa Accessibility/Animal Kingdom Day

    The bus ride itself is very short. Your transit time will be primarily waiting for the bus. I love Sana’a as a break. Your time is perfect. Just be sure to get off at the Kidani stop,not Jambo.

    Emailing Jetblue

    Ignore that request. When you get to the next prompt, choose speak with a representative. You may be on hold awhile. I just cancelled on the phone for a trip over a month away. No problem. She offered an additional20% travel credit, but I declined in favor of $ back. Just thought I would mention...

    Curious what your travel plans are this year...

    We are scheduled for a late July trip to WDW and Gulf Coast beach. My DH is ready to cancel. I am more optimistic about maybe an adapted trip. We could drive instead of fly, we could skip Disney and just do the house rental on a very low population island. We can only travel during school...
