    If standby waits are short

    Hmm...I'm not sure how i got messed up yesterday then. Our issue is that we were doing rider swap for a couple rides. once I didn't scan my band..another time my wife didn't scan hers. But when I went to book TSM late in the day I wasn't able to because we had unused FPs. Day was a blur...

    If standby waits are short

    Careful with the tiers at Epcot and HS though. You only get 1 Tier 1 FP to start...and can't book a second T1 until you've used your 1st 3 FPs. So if you cancel a T2 FP, you're only able to book another T2 before you're able to book another T1. I Almost screwed myself over at HS yesterday over...

    Note to Resort Guests (with Booked Packages) Heading to Parks First

    We also had that issue with DDP...I know for a fact I had the PIN setup, but that also wouldn't work...which meant another trip to guest relations later that day. They reset the PIN and it's been fine since. But definitely a hassle. Not sure I would've gone to the resort first even with this...

    Note to Resort Guests (with Booked Packages) Heading to Parks First

    Maybe this is common knowledge...but I didn't see anything about it anywhere prior to our trip. If you are staying on-site, doing online check-in and headed to the park first...there's a good chance you'll have issues entering the park before 10-11am. We had issues at AK yesterday when we got to...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    Ug...don't tell me that. We arrive Monday and are paranoid because 2 of our boys got the bug on our last trip a few years ago.

    Great weather forecasted.

    Can be a risky time too if you're looking for warm weather. Last time we were there 3-years ago...end of January, we were greeted to 3 days of clouds, drizzle, and 50 degree temps. Pools were closed. We the got a transition day that was showery, but temp did finally get to 70 and pulls opened...

    Favorite Snack for Milk or Gluten allergies?

    I have a milk allergy...my wife has a gluten sensitivity. I'm looking for suggestions for your good gluten free or milk free snacks...but something a bit more exotic than popcorn, fruit, or pre-packaged cookies. Is there anything freshly baked/made that might be worth seeking out or going a bit...

    Great weather forecasted.

    We'll be there next week...so I've been keeping tabs. Weather models suggest a cold front moving through towards the end of next week. But otherwise looks pretty fantastic until then.

    Magic band shipping is bananas!

    Crazy so many are having issues. I got an e-mail last Thursday morning that ours had shipped...they arrived Friday afternoon. We are in CT. For those looking for tracking #'s...check your e-mail...that's where mine was. Tracking # is not listed on MDE.

    Penny press - credit card or coinc

    Soak them for a few minutes in vinegar...then a stiff bristled toothbrush should do the trick. I just cleaned some up last night...the only toothbrush had was too soft, so I used a steel wool scrubbing pad which also worked wonders.

    Is it worth leaving Magic Kingdom?

    Planned lunch at Kona during our trip next week. Honestly, more than anything it was to give the kids a chance to ride the Monorail.

    Souvenir Planning/Strategies with Kids

    Looking for creative ways of handling souvenir planning, expectation, purchases with the kids (ours are 5, 8 & 11). On our last trip 3 years ago...I think we essentially told them they could get 1 "big" souvenir for the trip (i.e. $25-30)...but we allowed them something else small (<$5) each...

    Penny press - credit card or coinc

    Funny...I was about to post a similar question as we are beginning to pack this weekend. From what I see, it looks like the machines that take CC don't give you the option to provide your own penny and crank the machine...which kind of takes all the fun out of it and is a deal breaker IMO. Glad...

    Fastpass+ Question

    also a word about the weather...not sure where you're getting your forecast...but I'd say it's probably still a couple days early to make a switch based on the forecast. I have a meteorology background and have begun scoping out how things are looking for the following week when we'll be...

    Fastpass+ Question

    subscribing to TP's will let you view FP availability for any day...although it's not in real-time and it's only for a party of 1 as far as I know. But FWIW, as of the last update at 1:58am today...it's showing plenty of availability for all attractions. I'm not sure I would be overly concerned...

    ***Official February 2017 Thread***

    MBs arrived yesterday. In exactly one week we will be on our way to the airport. Especially excited because the weather already looks more promising than our last trip 3 years ago (we had 3 straight days of rain/drizzle and 50 degree temps).

    How much do you trust TP's optimized plans?

    Agreed that I need to modify the first day a bit. We prioritized based on Our family's must do attractions. Jungle cruise and haunted mansion aren't on that list. JC I planned to just pick up as an extra FP on either day during the afternoon if we're up to it. Plan to also squeeze in a show or...

    How much do you trust TP's optimized plans?

    I'm most certainly not a veteran...hence why I kind wanted to get a second read on my plans. I appreciate everyone's input...doesn't sounds like I'll make any huge changes...but will definitely move a couple things around based on suggestions here. Thanks!
