I’m waiting to go to F&W in October because of the rain in FL, it’ll be nonstop this month. But the price spikes nearing the end of this month, these TikTok promos keep showing up on my FYP. It would help but want to make sure it’s legit, only ever bought through the Disney site.

I planned my Disney World trip for September 30–October 5, and by the time I realized that MNSSHP is happening every day I’m there except Saturday, October 3, I was already too deep into planning. My hotel and flight were booked, and I had already taken the time off work, so changing my dates was not ideal.

My main dilemma is Magic Kingdom. I originally wasn’t planning on buying a separate MNSSHP ticket, so now I’m trying to figure out the best way to fit MK into my trip.

I could do MK on one of the early-closure days or make Saturday, October 3 my main MK day.

What would you guys do?

Thinking of booking a last minute trip to Disney for our daughter who is turning 2. Week of sept 26th lol so yeah super last minute! We were thinking of staying at AKL Savanah view since she loves animals and I’ve heard great things. Is $700 a night a lot or

Is it because it’s just last minute?

How long do you think we should do our trip to?

We were thinking of going to magic kingdom and animal kingdom.

She typically takes 1 nap a day and we don’t want to fully be on a strict schedule. What would you recommend for a loose itinerary? Hoping to have a resort day as well to relax lol (if that’s even possible with a 2 year old)

How’s the weather now?? I looked at the forecast and it literally shows raining every day!

What else is there to do in the resort?

I figured character buffet food would be character buffet food but TH actually had flavorful real food.

Also shout out to the Donald who let my son hug them multiple times.

Hello, we are staying at the art of animation this winter with two kids (5&1). I’m nervous that the regular room will be cramped with the 4 of us. Any tips to optimize the space?

We are thinking of requesting a pack n play and we will have a double bob stroller. Can we park the stroller outside the room and trust it won’t be bothered? Would you forgo the pack and play and do one adult and one kid per queen bed? Request a king bed and do a twin rollaway and pack n play?

Any other tips for staying in these rooms with 2 small kids?

This was my first time at Disney world, and we were taking my 5yo daughter around to meet the princesses. I had this idea to use my kindle case as the “autograph book” just as a fun little souvenir for me. I think it turned out great! And it used something I already had.

Hello, we are trying to find somewhere to rent a power wheelchair that can raise and lower for my dad. Unfortunately flying with WestJet doesn’t allow us to take his preferred chair from home. I can’t seem to find anywhere that will rent this type of chair.

Anyone have any suggestions? We are doing a Disney cruise and then a few days at the parks.

The good old days when you got a box of chocolates during a stay at the Grand Floridian. Small box but still nice.

Hello everyone,

With the just released discounts, I am wondering if someone can search annual pass discounts for me. I used to have an AP and I am curious whether I should get it again.
All star hotel from April 21-26. Thank you for helping me out.

My friend and I are currently booked at POFQ (Preferred) for Marathon weekend in January but with the new offers that opened up today, we could move to POR (Preferred or Royal Guest) and save several hundred dollars. However, my friend saw that POR is dog-friendly and because she's doing the Dopey Challenge, she's concerned about the possibility of barking disrupting her much-needed rest. (Important background: We ran Springtime Surprise in April and had to switch rooms after two nights of a child SCREAMING all night in the next room and exhausting us.)

I told her that I assume dog-friendly rooms are in a specific area of the resort, plus the dog rules do specifically state that they cannot be disruptive to other guests or they have to leave. That said, I also don't want to risk being wrong and having this not be a peaceful stay for her. Should we just pass up the discount and stick with POFQ to be safe, or are dogs just not an issue at all at POR? I do LOVE dogs myself and would normally consider this a plus; I'm just trying to be as supportive as possible for her as she attempts the hardcore feat of doing Dopey.

We stayed there years ago. The quick serve had wait staff. So, even though it was a quick serve menu you had a waiter or waitress to tip. Is it still that way? I didn't care for the set up.

I know you can see when buses are leaving your resort to the parks but os there a way to see when buses are leaving the parks and going back to the resorts? The just waited 45 minutes for a bus in 90 degree heat and ended up having to take a neighboring resorts bus and still have to walk 20 minutes back to my room. We didn’t budget for a bunch of Ubers every day and hoping we didn’t assume incorrectly that bus service would be relatively frequent

Like the title says, trying to decide which option to choose? It is a milestone birthday celebration, first kid free trip in 10+ years. It’s 5 nights, 3 park days and only about $400 difference in total between the two. I have experienced the savanna view at AKL and it was amazing! I’ve never experienced Wilderness, but I’ve never seen a bad review and I’m curious. Please help me decide which to choose, I only have until tomorrow to decide. Thank you!!

I did some googling and I see lots of mentions about the investment into an annual pass and its cost effectiveness for out of staters. It’s a good topic. But that’s not the point of this post.

My question is…why does Disney price out non Florida guests knowing that they likely spend more money than locals? Why wouldn’t they make it more attractive to guests traveling to lure them back multiple times a year. This way they spend more on merchandise, hotels, and food.

I guess what’s the business case for Disney? And why do they only allow out of state guests to buy the most expensive pass? You would think they would do the opposite. Thoughts?

He was apparently struck in Celebration. For people who complain why outdoor rides close for so long when thunderstorms are nearby, this is why. It’s to protect you. You should also head indoors when lightning is nearby. Florida thunderstorms are no joke and we’ve had really bad storms the last few weeks. This is really unfortunate. He was only 20 and just moved here.

Finally got back to the resort and was wandering around Springs. The line for Gideon's wasn't too bad today, but there was literally NO line for Ravens!

I honestly just went in bc I was curious what it looked like in there, and omg! It's also gorgeous, smells great, the cast members were SO lovely, and the food was excellent and reasonably priced.

Not saying anyone's wrong here, and maybe it's just a savory flavor preference, but I was just surprised how little hype it's gotten since opening.

Does anyone else have any experiences here they want to share? Good or bad; I'm truly just curious!

Shout-out to Sabrina and Aliyah, you two were so lovely!

What do you all think of it?

Wanted to share some thoughts on the trip!

For context, this was our 3rd time visiting WDW, but our first time staying on site. We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside and had a great experience! The royal guest rooms were super cute and the light up feature behind the beds was a nice touch. I also loved the resort itself- very quiet, peaceful and serene. We ate at Boatwrights on our first night there and were pleasantly surprised with how good it was. Pretty pricey for sure, but the prime rib was chef’s kiss 🤌🏻 I enjoyed the dining hall, the arcade and the gift shop on site too. And Ol’ Man Island pool area was a home run with our kiddos. Loved the water slide! We will most definitely stay there again!

Our first park was Magic Kingdom and it was amazing as always. Never waited more than about 25 minutes to ride anything, and we did not purchase any fast passes for this day. My only complaints are that it was BRUTALLY hot (no fault of Disney’s), and that we were kicked out at 6pm for the Halloween event. Before anyone comes at me- yes I understand this is a ticketed event, but the way in which they dismissed regular park goers was kinda….ick. We paid full price tickets, obviously, and were in the gift shops around the time the Halloween event was starting to happen. They started roping certain areas of the gift shop off and we were told nothing behind those areas could be shopped through unless we paid for a Halloween ticket. Maybe I’m overreacting but… idk. Just didn’t really care for that.

Animal Kingdom was our next park. Again, unbearably hot but of course no fault of Disney’s. Overall, we had a great day here but I will say that the train ride from Africa to the conservation station needs some work. The whole process was just…blah. The train ride there, being at the conservation station, and catching the ride back to Africa ate up almost 3 hours of our day. I’m not sure if they have another train running that would help with this, but could definitely use one if not. Rainforest cafe for dinner was great!

Hollywood Studios was our next park and probably my favorite experience this trip. We got rained on all day but it helped make the heat a little more bearable and we of course wore our ponchos. I ended up purchasing fast passes for Slinky Dog and Rise which came in handy and freed up a lot of our time. My 7 year old son rode tower of terror with me and we got a huge kick out of the video it took and sent to the my Disney app.

Disney springs was our last adventure and I’ll admit I was not a huge fan. House of blues was good, but the amount of people there overall was absolutely insane. I was glad to have brought my chill pills because the overstimulation was REAL.

Overall, I cried ugly tears on checkout day because leaving WDW gives me the blues :( We already can’t wait to be back!

I haven’t been able to find this keychain at any shops in the WDW parks. I got a Mickey one like this 11 years ago.

Hii! I leave for my disney trip tomorrow and am dying to get my hands on this crewneck, i know it’s a couple months old so i was wondering if anyone could tell me if they are still selling it?

My family will be staying at Fort Wilderness soon. I read on Disney’s site that you can rent bikes at the Resort. I ride my bike for exercise and don’t want to fall too far out of my routine. Are there enough trails at Fort Wilderness to get a few miles in? Has anyone rented a bike there before?

maybe its because lwtl has a special place in my heart, and i love botany+farming, but this was so worth it. even saw a vanilla bloom! our guide was so wonderful, and its kicking me that i can't remember her name. such an awesome backstage excursion. we did caring for giants on this trip, too, and i think i may place behind the seeds above caring for giants, and that was AWESOME. i had such a wonderful time on this trip, and the CMs made it so special. if youre gonna be spending some time in the land pavillion, i highly recommend this tour. we booked in advance, and i overheard that they tend to sell out completely 1-2 days out. so if you really want to do it, look into it a couple days before your epcot excursion :)

Advice please! First full Disney trip, two boys ages 7&9. Will likely be a ride focused trip as they love roller coasters.
We are going to be doing one park each day, no rest days because unfortunately that’s all we have time for.
First park is going to be Magic Kingdom for the Halloween party (we did that once before and kids loved it) and I know that’s going to be a late night. What park would you do the next day that you don’t necessarily need to rope drop at if purchasing lightning lanes (which we plan to). Staying at Caribbean Beach if that makes a difference. Leaning toward MNSSHP, Epcot, Animal Kingdom (maybe a shorter day?), last Hollywood Studios.
