Sounds like a wonderful day so far. Was glad to hear your assessment of RoR. We felt the same way and didn’t try for a BG on our second DHS day. Maybe RoR will be better next time when I can hear the CM better and I’m not stressed about which dot to stand on (where is the silver dot? Is that a gray dot or a silver dot? Argh!).
I'm not getting a magic band & I don't want to use my phone to get into the parks. Is there a way to get a key card like Disney used to give out?
I thought I read somewhere that you can go to the hotel front desk upon check-in to receive the key card.I'm not getting a magic band & I don't want to use my phone to get into the parks. Is there a way to get a key card like Disney used to give out?
I'm sure you can. When we were there a cpl weeks ago; one person in our party didn't have a magicband so I asked at our resort about getting a card and the guy said well I can just give youna magicband...what color would you like? I'm sure they just have an excess that they're trying to get rid of, but made our lives easier.I thought I read somewhere that you can go to the hotel front desk upon check-in to receive the key card.
I would choose Slinky because the line for MMRR gets much shorter as the day goes on. Slinky wait stays long throughout the day. But rope dropping Slinky only works if you can get there by about 8 am. I was there two weeks ago and walked from the Speedway gas station, arriving right before Skyliner guests. Walked through the front gates at 8:13 and boarded SDD by 8:23. Then to MFSR for about a 20 min wait. We did MMRR after 5:30 and waited about 15-20 min. And of course, ended the night with one last SDD run right after park close.What is the current thought on Slinky vs MMRR at rope drop at DHS? I want to do both and am debating which to do first. I'll be walking from the Dolphin and will be there embarrassingly early. MFSR isn't on my "must do" list, so I'm not worried about that one.
Just curious as we have an upcoming trip next month. My daughter is 2 years old and loves Winnie the Pooh. I've seen pictures from when Disney first re-opened and around Christmas of Winnie outside the Imagination pavilion in Epcot. Is he still out at that location randomly throughout the day? I haven't been able to find out if he's in any of the calvacades currently operating either. We have a couple character breakfasts booked and I know she'll be able to see most of the princesses on a calvavade, but Winnie seems to be more elusive. Any tips would be appreciated!
This was happening quite a bit recently, but security was really cracking down on people using contemporary as a drop off point. Without an ADR at the restaurants there, they'd make The cars turn around and leave.We have had taxis take us to the contemporary for our early breakfasts at crustal palace. We’d walk from the contemporary to the MK. I think this avoids the parking lot issues? Last time we did that was about 5 years ago so maybe that’s changed.
That is such a bummer! But good to know...This was happening quite a bit recently, but security was really cracking down on people using contemporary as a drop off point. Without an ADR at the restaurants there, they'd make The cars turn around and leave.
There are reports of people being denied entrance unless they have TS at the contemporary. I’ve not heard of anyone try for drop off for a MK reservation, maybe some others can share. What time is the CP reservation?We have had taxis take us to the contemporary for our early breakfasts at crustal palace. We’d walk from the contemporary to the MK.

There are no dining reservations before parks are open to guests so there is no need to be dropped anywhere other than the TTC. You may be dropped at the TTC and take either the monorail or ferry to MK for your CP breakfast.We have had taxis take us to the contemporary for our early breakfasts at crustal palace.

Eek. So much has changed. We LOVED seeing the empty MK on our way to breakfast. It was April so it was still a little dark and all the twinkle lights were on, etc. It was magical.There are no dining reservations before parks are open to guests so there is no need to be dropped anywhere other than the TTC.

Found this on MDE app, so yes you can definitely pick up a hard card at front desk (or reactivate an old one in the app)I'm not getting a magic band & I don't want to use my phone to get into the parks. Is there a way to get a key card like Disney used to give out?
I just looked on the MDE app and Crystal Palace is not open for breakfast at this time nor is Be Our Guest.Eek. So much has changed. We LOVED seeing the empty MK on our way to breakfast. It was April so it was still a little dark and all the twinkle lights were on, etc. It was magical.
Saw him in mid March! He makes a point, if you get up there, to acknowledge all the children with waves.Just curious as we have an upcoming trip next month.
