Talk to me about wilderness explorers at AK. Suitable for a just 4 year old? What's involved?

5:21pm by Cuwins

Perfect for a 4 year old! There are stations throughout the park, and kids earn badges (stickers) at each one for doing activities. They will gear the activity towards the age of the kid, and you can do as few or as many as you'd like.

Sounds great. Do you get a map with where they are? DD loves a sticker!

Between the park entrance and the tree, there's a booth where you can get the booklet and be sworn in as an explorer.

Is Jingle Cruise better before or after dark? Same question for holiday version of Living with the land.

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!

DD was not impressed with the nasal spray, she would rather have had the injection! She hates anything going up her nose but recently had her 3.5 booster vaccinations with not even a whimper, barely even flinched.

@Ali I understand. FDA requirements were/are strict (sometimes overly so) but I don't have much faith that anyone in US gov't is looking out for the health and safety of US citizens these days :( I'm just thankful I was able to get flu and covid for all

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

Yeah, I could still access the older sites but suddenly they are not appearing. I wonder when the access to the old chat will disappear.

3:51pm by youcanfly

https://c.touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/crowd-tracker This and CL and park recommendations are still the old site. Sigh

The new site is really awful. I'm not a fan

Staying at the dolphin the week before thanksgiving and curious about going to the cake bake shop. Not interested in sitting down for breakfast, but can you visit to get a coffee or treats to go without a reservation?

@snowdis, is the restaurant food available at the bar, or just the bakery items?

4:36pm by ladydisney

Restaurant food too @ladydisney.

5:02pm by snowdiz

Thanks!

Countdown to Jollywood Nights!Moderating expectations because first night and whatnot. Hope for Disney celeb sightings and Muppet vibes! Not too sure about food and drinks because just got done with the Parisian breakfast and I feel like a Weeble!!

It's ok! Weebles wobble but they don't fall down! Have fun.

11:26am on 11/8/25 by evamarie320

I confess I don't think I would do the Parisian breakfast again. There was nothing Parisian about it, unless they had us standing for our coffee shots and smoking! But it was kinda weird. I think the people seated next to us were pocketing their food. :-0

11:58am on 11/8/25 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Made it! In line for Chewbacca character meet now. Fun starts at 730. Line doesn't seem that bad, TBH. It's by MFSR. No signage; had to ask a castmember if I was in the right spot to figure it out

7:16pm on 11/8/25 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Happy Life Day @joeys!

7:28pm on 11/8/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Thanks for taking us along, have a great night

7:31pm on 11/8/25 by chief craig

I'm so sorry guys, we had to bail from the line for Chewbacca. We kind of felt bad for him. It's bloody hot and poor Chewbacca is in a bathrobe. Time for beverines!

7:44pm on 11/8/25 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Actually, we are such complete party poopers we just left. It is really crowded and there are a lot more kids than previous parties. It's kind of just like a 10 out of 10 Park day with Christmas music.

8:19pm on 11/8/25 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

That's such a bummer!!!

10:32pm on 11/8/25 by lizshiv

This was my first Jollywood and I'm glad I experienced it but other than short lines I don't think I'd do it again. The shows were ok, the ornament is nice, and as mentioned above it felt like a regular park night with Xmas music. But still happy I'm here

12:34am by Dpj731

Oh my goodness @joey, you spent all that money on tickets and left less than an hour into the party? Now I'm nervous - was it really that bad?

10:33am by njhyndman

I feel like this is generally unique to the first one where every blogger is taking up space trying to review food and entertainment and no one is actually doing rides.

11:07am by melcort10

Just sad to hear about both experiences. We did Jollywood 2 seasons ago and absolutely loved it. I wonder if it was simply first night problems or the crowds?

11:12am by youcanfly

Yikes!!

2:15pm by LaurenInWonderland

We were just not feeling it. Our prior Jollywood experiences were really fun but I felt so claustrophobic I had to get out. We tried to be seated at the end of a back row for the Muppets but they kept pushing people in, so we bailed...

5:10pm by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Poor Life day Chewbacca was hug-assaulted by a patron and had to take a break shortly after the meet and greet started. I just felt so bad for them

5:11pm by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Somebody budged in front of me at an *empty* Joffreys window where I was just trying to buy water! And the Tip-Top club was such a bottleneck we didn't persist.

5:13pm by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

We were hot and tired and just felt so defeated. We didn't even get the ornament because they weren't handing them out at the time we left. We didn't even care at that point. We debated calling/ exploring a refund but decided it wasn't worth it.

5:16pm by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

An expensive lesson learned...the event is more kid friendly (or marketed) and the 7-9 pm window kinda sucks for those of us who liked the mellow dress up vibe at prior events.

@joeyjojo, I would definitely be following up with WDW. Such a shame your experience was so miserable!

5:23pm by snowdiz

While my experience wasn't kid friendly, it was definitely more of an adult vibe and lots of dressed up people. Was this different with a less glitzy style?

37 min ago by youcanfly

Well that came out wrong....sigh I was trying to say it was kid friendly there just weren't that many with young kids.

"What's cookin'?" It's a football Sunday. DW and I are going to have a relaxing evening with some beef queso dip, tortilla chips and veggie plate. Sunday dinners, let's see them.

What's everyone's predictions on crowd levels with all this airport stuff going on?

5:30pm by scpunisher

I don't think they'll be affected

Christmas parade canceled today, bummer! Stood for hours waiting, then delays, finally canceled with lightning in area. Dollar store ponchos sticking like glue to skin just doesn't add Christmas spirit. At least we got to wait w/ 2 great Liner friends.

5:21pm by snowdiz

What a bummer. Sorry for you.
