Fav building at CBR? First timers for a quick overnight trip. Going to the resort on arrival day to check in/briefly explore/drop bags then Epcot till close. Then the next day taking a Minnie van to MK for RD. Thinking somewhere in Jamaica but not sure!

Any experience with asking for pre boarding help w/elderly? Taking 82/3 yr old grandmas next week. Southwest web says to ask once arriving at airport. Not sure if I should just pay for early bird?? Any experience?

I have also noticed that since the gate person has to wheel the people down, it is a slow process. He/she wheels one person, drops them off, then comes zipping back up to get the next. Must be an insurance thing.

1:22pm by Jennyhirsch

Just realized you didnt mention wheelchair. If they can walk on own, I've seen the gate attendant (breathing a sigh of relief, lol) instruct them to just go ahead. But you need the preboard words on your boarding pass.

1:24pm by Jennyhirsch

After my achilles reconstruction, I showed up at the Southwest gate with a cane but was denied early boarding. Was told that had to have been requested in advance. I had purchased Early Bird which did help.

Just got my Membership Magic Beyond purchased for 2026 now I can finish booking my June trip with half price OTUPs.

7:43am by hawkeye91

I think I might try it for 2026 too. I think the OTUP is the best benefit too. And maybe the priority list for the MK lounge. Seems like they could at least throw in free valet too like back in the day!

8:34am by candyls1

The MMB was nice at the epcot lounge too which closes early to regular DVC. It was pouring so we waited out the rain there. I'll buy again too.

9:44am by popupcamper

The MMB Mickey and Minnie meet and greet from 530-830 at the Epcot lounge was awesome. Great interactions

11:41am by cdlla

I bought it this year specifically for the savings on DL tickets, but will buy for 2026 for the half price OTUPs to use for family trip in October

12:58pm on 11/24/25 by JJT (staff)

Oddly enough, there have only been 5 VB listings in December since 2023 - normally I would say don't necessarily trust the median when you don't have a lot of data points, but I'm thinking $171 is pretty good any day.

I should probably point out that the same room at the same price in Sept is "only" 7% under median. Same effect on your wallet, but different price evaluation using the new monthly median my system is crunching.

12:16pm on 12/4/25 by JJT (staff)

Notably on that last listing: it is "only" about 19% under median when comparing to all past listings for BW 1BRs - but when just comparing to December listings it is that 32% under.

12:26pm on 12/4/25 by JJT (staff)

I don't think I highlighted this DL Duo Studio when it appeared the other day. Is a very nice price for this room any time - but especially for a 4-night stay!

Not a "cheap" room, but a very good price for this BLT 2BR in January! When looking at only 4-nights or longer this is the lowest price recorded for that room and not likely to see another appear for this time frame based on past history...

Really, waiting until 5 nights out from check in for this price drop is ??? but, for a Savannah 1BR AND a long stay, this price is terrific. There has only been 1 other 1BR Dec listing priced lower. But, was a Value, appeared in Oct and gone next day.

Anyone experienced with SOG buses? They run an hour before park open. I'm a bit concerned that's not early enough to put us at front of pack for RD. I'm wondering if we should drive where possible even though we would have to pay for parking?

11:01am by katienowaity

How about Uber? I only suggest that bc 2 years ago, DD amd I were trying to rope drop HS from SoG and for reasons unbeknownst to us, the driver went first to AK to drop of a family of 5 that had gotten on wrong bus. Missed half of Early Entry.

11:11am by Jennyhirsch

I'm still bitter. We were trying to meet my nephew and great nephew for his first ride ever on MMRR. Felt the driver should have dropped the HS people first, then taken the AK family over.

11:13am by Jennyhirsch

Oh no! That would totally stress me out! Uber is an idea. We could uber there and bus back and would be cheaper. I had not thought of that.

Need some suggestions for Disney dining we haven't tried before. Our reservation window opens next week. No character meals unless the food is fantastic. I have some ideas for Disney springs, but need some in park dining ideas. Mom, dad, 3 teens.

Agree with @eva, all great. Also enjoy Frontera Cocina. .Remember, if you walk through Boathouse, you can go sit out on the dock (it is a dock, it does move a little with wind or if boats go by) with no ADR and little to no wait.

11:16am by irenek

Stand outs from my 2 teens are 50's PT(their must-do), Garden Grill, B&C (just don't order the cookie sticks...go with a no way Jose!), and Crystal Palace breakfast is on the docket for May. Taking notes on other suggestions!
