    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    I agree with being hesitant to travel to other countries. While I also wouldn’t have to worry about this issue specifically, I just don’t want to take the risk of getting jailed for something stupid in a foreign country. I know it’s extremely rare and probably 99.9% of people have no issues...

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    We stack since we use it for our second park. We rope drop one park, ride some rides, take a break, then head to park two. Then you can ride 5+ rides in order using genie. Sometimes we may book one for the morning park if we are planning on doing a lot, then start stacking. We also find that...

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    I have a question about combining funds then getting a credit. I have a $100 luv voucher with an expiration date and a travel fund of $44 with no expiration. If I book a flight for $144 then cancel it, it would then be a no expiration $144 travel fund, correct? I’m almost certain it is but just...

    Rope Drop vs Park Close

    We also do both most our park days with a long break in the middle. We feel like you can get more done at rope drop for the most part. The best part of close is getting on a headliner right before close and it’s usually not much. We waited around 30-40 minutes for Rise and FOP getting in line...

    Bounceback Information and FAQ Thread - 25-35% off BOUNCEBACKS ARE BACK for 2024/2025!

    Thanks for this. I didnt know it was a thing to be able to go into the next year once it’s released.. We always felt screwed out of bounce back since we go in March and don’t want to go again that year. Of course it’s too late for us to do it this year but in the future that’s good to know.

    1 wdw splurge?

    Our splurge is the resort. We stay at Yacht Club. We love the proximity to two parks and just the overall feel of the resort. I keep telling myself to save money and go elsewhere, but I just can’t help it. Other than that we really don’t splurge on anything. We eat only a couple table service...

    I want to take a nap at the Polynesian

    Can’t help with Poly but don’t think anyone would say anything. We were about an hour early for chef mickeys at Contemporary and the rest of our party wasn’t there. We went over towards the walkway to BLT and there were some comfortable chairs with ottomans. I didn’t really fall asleep but did...

    A different way to do Disney… should I?

    We get there early for rope drop, and usually are at the parks for (or close to) closing. Now we’ve started taking long breaks during the day. Maybe 4/5 hours. That way you get to ride everything, and also get to relax. The mornings we don’t rope drop (usually two of our six mornings) we go in...

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    As far as the extra fee for credit cards, that seems to becoming a normal thing in my area (north of Pittsburgh). I don’t venture to many chains, but the local restaurants seem to charge it.

    Desserts at HS

    There is an ice cream spot over by rockin rollercoaster and tower of terror. They don’t have anything special that I remember but we’ve gotten sundaes there before and they were good.

    Skipping mousekeeping

    Like others have mentioned. Use the other methods to slow them down because they will just come in. We got a call checking if we wanted housekeeping. Said no. Two of us went to the balcony two stayed in the room laying down. About 5 minutes later they knocked and pretty much just came in. Did...

    What do you call this grocery shopping holding device?

    I’m from Pittsburgh and call it a buggy. As do most people I know. To be honest I didn’t know it was a southern thing. I just figured it was a northern thing since a lot of people around here call them buggies.

    ECV Rental

    I was just wondering if this was something they tell you or not. I’m not trying to say you’re wrong so please don’t take it that way. I’m just looking for thoughts. We had a rental scooter for the first time last month (dad just had knee surgery). Both the staff at Yacht club and Sports told...

    Everything Virtual Queue - Please Read Posts 1 and 2

    That’s the estimated wait until your BG is called. We noticed it never gave us that for Tron and was hit or miss for GOG in March. As far as I know you don’t actually know how long you’ll wait once you get in line. I’d say 45 minutes on average though.

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    We were there a month ago. Used both and I feel like they were the same units, but I couldn’t tell you that with certainty. We used the ones by the pool one afternoon while we enjoyed the weather and sat poolside. We used the indoor units one morning while we were packing up to move resorts for...

    Which one will I regret the most?

    Like a couple others have mentioned, I don’t agree with the thought that you’re tied to your phone all day. I know people mention it, but I don’t feel that way at all. Using your phone takes no effort what so ever for park entry and LL. You don’t even have to turn it on. Just hold it to the...

    Strategy of Park Hopping with car rental, which would you select?

    We have had our car at Disney the last three times we’ve gone. We’ve never used it while there. We find it so much easier to use Disney transportation. Not only is it easier, but it’s quicker even factoring in the wait for the bus if you’re busing. I also think I’ve read for rope drop you’re...

    Caribbean Beach 5th Sleeper Bed

    I know this wont work for everyone, but I’m 6’2 over 300 pounds and I slept on it for a week with no issues. I took an extra pillow and put it between the little bit of space between the end of the mattress and the cabinet. That probably got me around 6 inches or more. Then used the dresser as a...

    VQ que wait times lately

    We were there for 6 days and had hoppers. So we pretty much just went in to ride that two days and do nothing else. Then we had two Epcot days planned. Then on Monday we rode it twice. Once with the 7 am VQ and once with the 6 pm VQ. Didn’t ride it on Wednesday but we did Tron twice that day...

    Does anyone have Disney's All star music resort phone number for front desk?

    You don’t have to go to the desk for any of that. You call the call center (which essentially acts as the front desk) from your resort phone. Explain to them any of the above situations. They then get in contact with the hotel (somehow, maybe others here know) and send someone to your room to...
