Did they take away the 1 day ticket for passholders? Having trouble navigating to buy. Anyone know? Or am I just a dummy

9:58am by clyde4242

It took me a while but I found them. I logged onto the website. Then went to the "passholder" "home". It is at the top of that page for me.

So, DH thinks I should book through a TA. I've planned WDW trips for 20 years and for me it's half the fun. This is our 1st US trip. Is there a huge learning curve? I love research and I have plenty of time to do it. There's 6 adults and 2 teensThoughts?

Do it urself, you will have fun doing it and will have some valuable info to add when ur trip arrives. It is not overwhelming

11:56am by clyde4242

Thank you

12:30pm by winnie79

I agree!

2:32pm by PrincipalTinker

Anyone familiar with the dining plan? Seems like a huge value compared to WDW. Thoughts?

Google says butterbeer is included! I'd see if u can find a list of items since not all menu items it says are allowed and see if the ones offered are ones u want.

I'd also see if u can find a menu with butterbeer in it posted somewhere showing it is included if it's a must have.

Great! Thank you!

UO TRIP REPORT FOR 4/9/26! Today with the whole family, we got to US around 5pm and went to AP/TM store. DW wanted to get a couple $4-5 cups (crazy low prices) but decided to come back on the way out (didn't wanna hold a big bag all afternoon/night)...

collapse thread

then 5 and Dime just to look around. Then to PapaNana for popcorn. :) DS/DW went on Fallon and DD/DS and I went on Mummy. The TM REALLY wanted me to push my lapbar down more and he wasn't rude but he just kept questioning me and trying to push it down.

9:22am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

"Dude..." I said, like, it's down all the way. My kids were laughing and so was the random single-rider teenager next to me. :D LOL :) Met back up with DW/DS and off to HP. Just hung out some... DW/DS went to Simpsons and we went back to store to buy...

9:24am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

some cups and mugs and a lanyard DW wanted... TM rings it all up and it's over $100 and then the total after discount comes and it's $30-something. Crazy! Headed to IoA and went to Seuss Trolley. Walked around Lost Continent and everyone decided they...

were hungry now and we should head to eat early. Walked through JP and around the other way so we could enjoy walking through JP, Toon Lagoon, Marvel, etc. and by now it was raining so we start jogging back to HRH to eat at The Kitchen. So, for the...

9:27am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

first time I think ever, The Kitchen was less than awesome. :( Maybe just an off night but the food really wasn't that great, the service was also not very good too. That's never happened! Will definitely consider it an off night (it can happen!) and...

9:28am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

try again someday, but probably not anytime soon. Too many other great places to go. :) (Too many great places to go that are much less expensive too...) All in all though another great day/night. :) We are fortunate, lucky, blessed.

9:30am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

Oh no! We are going to the Kitchen in a couple of weeks for lunch. I'll report back on how that goes.

12:42pm on 4/10/26 by PrincipalTinker

We've never made it to the Kitchen to eat even tho DH mentions it nearly every trip! I'll pass this info along to him.

5:08pm on 4/10/26 by sneezy93

@PT oh cool let us know how it goes please! @sneezy I think it was just one of those "off nights" because it's usually really good.

We went to the Kitchen yesterday for lunch. The waiter told us he was back working there after a long absence. He was good. He did have to make DIL's drink since there was no bartender. Food was fresh and good but once again, took a long time.

6:42am by PrincipalTinker

Curious what your family enjoyed at The Kithcen? We went once several trips back and I remember the cheeseburger being excellent. But can't remember what else we had

10:00am by clyde4242

DIL had chicken quesadilla and my DS and I both had the phyllo crusted fish and chips.

11:10am by PrincipalTinker

Quick query- being lazy to search it up. Remind me please which are the metal detector rides? Hagrids/ hulk/ VC Presume stardust Anything at US now RRR is gone?

6:27pm on 4/20/26 by hodg

Hagrids has lockers but no detectors.

Where can I buy the interactive Mario bands in Epic and outside of? Do they link to the app or how do they work?

I finally found them in the Super Nintendo World store in City Walk. Even better, I found Butterbeer in the connected Harry Potter section (with no wait).

4:55pm on 4/20/26 by PrincipalTinker

Hope you're enjoying the CL

6:28pm on 4/20/26 by hodg

Thanks PT

8:05pm on 4/20/26 by ICONTROLWDW

Sorry I'm in the final run down loads of questions phase. I've managed to email Helios & get a response to requesting rooms close together. Anyone have email for PBH or SN? Trying to avoid phoning!

1:20pm on 4/19/26 by hodg

This is the email I have for PBH. It took about a day for them to answer my question. portofinocustomerservice@loewshotels.com

2:48pm on 4/19/26 by kateschmidt

Thanks I'll give that a try

6:16pm on 4/19/26 by hodg

Got a reply back quickly- thank you!

1:32pm on 4/20/26 by hodg

We did really like bar Helios. Pricey but super cool. Now there is also a $25 deposit to make reservation. If don't cancel early enough u lose the money.

10:02pm on 4/19/26 by Buckeye86

We went to both Flora Taverna (lunch) and BarHelios (dinner). Both are expensive. We will return to Flora Taverna. Funny, at both restaurants we waited over 30 minutes after ordering before we even got drinks,

11:12am on 4/20/26 by PrincipalTinker

Bar Helios was kinda weird. We often go to tapas restaurants. This was the first time we received the cold items last. Not complaining about that- just unusual.

11:13am on 4/20/26 by PrincipalTinker

I see I can add photos into UOR app ahead of time for park entry. Think I can work out how to link tickets. What I can't work out is how to add names to my party- it's list my sons who aren't coming, need to add on in-laws

11:18am on 4/19/26 by hodg

So you had photos taken at the park gate? It looked like you cld add photos in before but if it's as easy to do once there we can wait.

6:23pm on 4/19/26 by hodg

You look into a camera whenever you scan into a park now. I'd just wait and do it as you scan the first time. I don't remember it adding any extra time the first time they recorded our photos.

6:33pm on 4/19/26 by jmarriner

Correct. I didn't even know you could add photos yourself. It's very easy at the park and the scan usually works (worked entire trip for us) but I send my DH a screenshot of his ticket QR code just in case I'm not with him one day (he doesn't use the app)
