Seeking a holiday decor update! Other than MK and HS, what decorations are we seeing so far? Especially curious about any resort trees or gingerbread. Thanks!

8:06am by TumbleMonkeys

Are they doing the gingerbread house this year? Why did I think the lobby reno axed it? I am probably wrong though bc now that I reflect on it, isnt the lobby reno done?

Bought LLMP/SP for Nov.16,17, and 19. According to TP, crowd levels looks kinda low. Now I wish I wouldn't have spent all that money! Tell me it's okay lol

I have used LLMP on CL1 days, with no qualms or guilt.

You will still save time! Especially on popular rides - low CL doesn't mean walk-ons. And predicted levels might be wrong. Good decision:)

Low crowd level still means 30-60 wait for Tron or SD or Splash or SM. If all you plan to do is Tier 2 rides, then maybe you wouldn't have minded the stand by waits. I would def use LL if I could on a November trip.

Does anyone know when or where Nick & Judy are meeting at AK? I saw online that they were greeting guests but they are not listed in the MDE app. Headed to AK today.

Yes, you'll see the to the left of ride entrance.

Where Dug and Russel used to meet

Be aware that crowds have been heavy so they have been using return times. On Wednesday all return times were gone by 2 pm.

DAS -applying using a laptop for my sister today. Am I reading this correctly, that I need to download Zoom to my laptop before calling? Haven't applied since the new changes and want to be sure I'm ready to go so I didn't stress her out even more.

6:40am by cdlla

I believe that's correct. It's a video chat.

7:56am by utang44

Yes I believe so - doublecheck your sound and video before you bring her in. Good luck!

When you are at a high school band competition and the opposing band has a parent sitting in front of you and they are logged into Touring Plans :-)

Racking brain for names of other Cincinnati Liners! (I'm not a Cincinnati Liner, I'm just originally from there. So it's not me!)

5:04pm on 11/8/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Dang daddy look behind you

6:13pm on 11/8/25 by burfe1501

@Tumble sitting at Kings High school stadium (where my kids go to school). Looking over at the Eiffel Tower at Kings Island. Cincinnati proud!

6:26pm on 11/8/25 by shockbl

Cmon. Whisper Dang Daddy really loud and just see what happens!

6:32pm on 11/8/25 by Jennyhirsch

Kings island is where my theme park love started, @shock. I'm from Clifton (Walnut Hills HS) but had passes there through jr high and high school. Hope your band wins (and hope you do yell dang daddy)!

6:44pm on 11/8/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Yes!! What @jenny said! Tell us what happens!

6:46pm on 11/8/25 by missWishes

Please tell me you made a new bestie.

6:47pm on 11/8/25 by popupcamper

I'm at the other end of Ohio but I'd totally say hello!

6:49pm on 11/8/25 by ljmcg

Bump for the liner sitting in front of @shock

6:49pm on 11/8/25 by Rjcsmom

A discreet way to say it is to wait until after a performance and say loudly, "Dang, Daddy, that was good enough to perform at Disney World. Amirite?"

6:50pm on 11/8/25 by gmcc

Or, ask if anyone around you has a pool noodle.

6:55pm on 11/8/25 by gmcc

@gmcc, I spit out my drink.

7:07pm on 11/8/25 by popupcamper

Love this! This could be me if it was north Texas! Sadly our band's marching season ended last Saturday. But I am chaperoning the band's trip to WDW at the end of January so I have that to look forward to!

7:08pm on 11/8/25 by erinfarquhar

lol. I've seen people using a TP in the parks in line- but from the conversations about what else they were doing that day they were not liners. So i didn't say dang daddy

Update: Sadly, no connection made. I couldn't bring myself to ask. Just two liners, passing in the night.... But our band took first place overall! Best percussion, best music, and best overall effect!

6:09am by shockbl

Congratulations @shock! That's great!

7:03am by 58breezy

Congrats to the Kings band!

What happened to the old TP crowd calendar with the years then the grid of every day then you could see each day the new colorful page is difficult to do comparisons https://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/crowd-calendar#calendar

7:28am by irenek

Purchased TOT LL, however one member of party won't ride it. Can they just tap in and not ride it so that other LL selections can be made?

Someone else can take the band and ride right? Re: chicken exit - you would be there awhile right? My 9 yo won't ride it so I don't want him waiting alone.

3:36pm on 11/8/25 by Flutegarden

@flute, it's not that long since you take the exit as they are boarding. Just think length of the ride. Maybe 7 minutes? It depends on how comfortable your kiddo is.

4:44pm on 11/8/25 by popupcamper

My younger one wouldn't ride too at about 8. We did it as rider swap tho- but they made him go thru the preshow which was part of what freaked him out so wasn't great.

5:39am by hodg

NDR: did Flumist this year for my needle adverse children. What an awesome option! Cost me $9, shipped to my house, easy to give,kids were overjoyed to learn no pokes. If you or your loved ones qualify and might not otherwise get vaccinated, look into it!

6:40pm on 11/8/25 by BlastThatPeterPan

Good recommendation, thanks!

8:31pm on 11/8/25 by Ali Ababwa

Meaning the nasal spray? That's the only preparation available for kids in U.K. Given in schools. They won't give the injection to kids- I tried when my teen was too old for school program.

5:33am by hodg

Does anyone else feel the need to insure their trip with travel insurance ?

9:02am on 11/8/25 by jason.pilkington01-920328

collapse thread

Yes, indeed! I'm not wealthy enough to risk that amount of money with erratic flights and other causes of last-minute cancellations. I don't travel with small children any more, but you can bet that they WILL get sick on day 3-4 after a flight and MK.

9:11am on 11/8/25 by Ali Ababwa

I only got trip insurance leaving the US and on cruise ships. I got it once for my momma when she rented DVC points for a 12 person trip but otherwise I don't for Disney.

9:25am on 11/8/25 by popupcamper

Also, I can't count the number of WDW guests I see who neglect insurance on the assumption that Disney will "make it right" if something goes wrong on their vacation. That would be a very foolish assumption, IMO.

9:26am on 11/8/25 by Ali Ababwa

My kids have never once gotten sick on vacation.

9:26am on 11/8/25 by popupcamper

100%. Paid off last year when everyone got sick with GI virus the night before we were scheduled to leave. Switched flights, got extra night in hotel ($$$), telemed urgent care visits and meds, all covered.

9:35am on 11/8/25 by 56arlene

We haven't often gotten ill with contagious illness at WDW, but DD broke her leg at a WDW resort, and I've been splattered with vomit from kids in queues. It's the unexpected that you insure against.

9:42am on 11/8/25 by Ali Ababwa

Absolutely. Because you just never know. Rather have and not need than need and not have.

10:07am on 11/8/25 by UndeadMonkey

I used to only insure international trips. But for the past few years I've gotten a yearly policy that will cover any trips in the year. Thru Allianz. Got caught up in the crowd strike worldwide shutdown in Rome. Claims process w Allianz was not great.

10:44am on 11/8/25 by evamarie320

But most people rave about them. I tried to do it all online but if I had to do it again I'd speak with a human.

10:45am on 11/8/25 by evamarie320

I love Allianz. Sorry you had that experience. Also have the yearly policy and add on for international trips. Never had to use domestically.

2:30pm on 11/8/25 by Magicalday2011

I do when I rent DVC points. Last year I had a very seamless experience with Allaniz when I got sick and had to cancel a trip. IMO worth it at a certain price point (for me, it's around $3-4k).

I have heard that if you buy insurance after the government closure it won't cover due to flight cancels. Anyone know if this is true.

10:37pm on 11/8/25 by JodiF

Never bought insurance for 50+ trips, then I broke my leg. Husband got Covid. And then some. We have an annual policy now that we hope to never use! Makes sense insurance wouldn't cover govt shutdown. So much uncertainty.

11:11pm on 11/8/25 by Rhondak0000

I'm sure it depends on the policy.
