We plan only using LLs. And anxiety is a real concern because I can't see people come upon me. We go next month and I will report vack on how meetc up works for us. Thank you all

I have heard that people can still request a return time when denied for DAS. You can laminate a card describing your conditions. Walk up to the fast pass lane, and say, "I have a medical condition that doesn't let me wait in line and we can't be ...

separated. Can we get a return to queue time?" Show them the card. If they ask about the medical condition, politely say, "I'd rather not say out loud, but it's in the card".

Hi friends! I am looking to book a dvc split stay at WL (BC) & BW for next year the first week of December/ the week after Thanksgiving. How hard is it to get availability? We usually use David's. I can try to book at 11 months, correct?

So @minniemom, I think you should submit your request in the next week and make as long of a list as possible of 1st, 2nd, 3rd+ choices. Each room type at each resort would be a line item. So 1st choice dedicated 2b at BRV, 2nd choice lock off, etc.

3:23pm by melcort10

Thanks all! @melcourt- I have always waited until exactly 11 months to submit my David's request- I can do it early and they will hold ot till the 11 month mark?

8:40pm by minniemom7

Yes I would absolutely submit before 11 months because you are going to need an owner ready to submit on exactly the 11 month day.

Happy Monday! Anyone have experience with rope dropping GOTG from international gateway, we are staying at the Boardwalk. Would be there for early hours. Thanks!

No experience with GotG, just Remy. But generally, they let you thru taps and you walk towards the UK where the metaphorical "rope" is for the EE crowd heading for Future World. Not sure exactly where they stop you though.

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.

DS21 is home for the night as he's at a neurosurgery conference in London- he didn't understand much of the day but we had lemon garlic chicken, broccoli & dauphinois potatoes w chocolate cheesecake- pretty good for a Monday.

That sounds fun, @hodg - and tasty.

Homemade lasagna and Caesar salad here. And cherry cheesecake for dessert. My Grandmas recipe!

Do I remember that at WL, the lobby is the second floor? If so, how do we get to the exit to head out back to the ferry with a stroller?

29 min ago by minniemom7

No, not really. Your memory is maybe from the front parking lot where the entrance is on top of an incline, so there are stairs going up. The lobby itself is essentially ground level with Bay Lake. No stairs between boat dock and lobby.

24 min ago by Jennyhirsch

Head through the lobby to the hallway on the left - it slopes down so no steps and then head out the doors. There is a ramp for the 3 or 4 steps of the patio outside. Keep going down the walkway to the dock.

Circling back on a previous conversation about the change to the LL queue for Soarin. I have been able to ride 4x with LL since the change. Each time I have waited longer than I wanted/expected to with LL. The waits were 16, 25, 23 and 15 minutes. I ....

collapse thread

I also don't appreciate how at the door you are told to just merge in/cut the line. The CM could at least hold the standby group and create an opening for you to merge into the line.

4:29pm on 12/6/25 by McMinnie

Oh, man. I was hoping it was just me!

4:46pm on 12/6/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Funny, when I did it they held me at the door and I had to wait while they let the crowd load up the next sections.

5:29pm on 12/6/25 by PrincipalTinker

This new system was a total mess when we were there. We actually waited longer for LL than the posted standby. Someone is making a really bad decision on this. Go back to the way that isn't a mess.

5:42pm on 12/6/25 by polypack

Oh man I was hoping they had fixed this. I love Soarin' and want to be able to use my LL with ease and get what I paid for.

8:07pm on 12/6/25 by njhyndman

I had assumed it was something temporary to deal an unexpected situation. Not only is the new setup ugly, I can't see any reason for it.

10:01pm on 12/6/25 by cigar95

Has anyone given feedback about this?

6:01am on 12/7/25 by Flutegarden

I did mention on another thread that I timed and submitted my LL wait time for TP. I always submit the posted time as I enter the queue and then time the wait. My LL was greater than the posted time and I think the standby time was correct.

6:40am on 12/7/25 by PrincipalTinker

Wow I'm amazed by this. Disney usually does much better line mgmt than this

Newest Mammoth Club video: "We just rode Soarin. The whole experience took almost an hour, and that's with a LL, so pack your patient pants."

10:37am on 12/7/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Ugh. I can report back on Sunday. I can't visualize it right now, but it does always seem to take a long time.

11:30am on 12/7/25 by Jennyhirsch

What changed with the queue? Ll usually takes 20-30 tap in to exit . Was a theater down?

1:23pm on 12/7/25 by RileysBirthday

We knew it was different and it did take longer on Thursday. We had a LL too.

1:24pm on 12/7/25 by momma4fun

@reillys, they moved the LL merge point up. So you join standby before you used to.

1:32pm on 12/7/25 by popupcamper

They have also appeared to change the ratio of standby/LL into the queue.

2:04pm on 12/7/25 by PrincipalTinker

Everywhere has done that. I think as of April?

2:41pm on 12/7/25 by popupcamper

If you rd soarin you can ride 2 to 3 times easily.

2:58pm on 12/7/25 by JackOfAll

That's what I plan to do now. It's just frustrating that my favorite ride is now a Tier 2 LL, which seems like great news, yet it doesn't really have any value.

3:00pm on 12/7/25 by TumbleMonkeys

@popup, I have never been held at the merge point for more than 50(many more) standby guests. I went to all 4 parks and it was the only attraction that did that. I understand there were no other LL users in line behind us, but it was unusual.

3:33pm on 12/7/25 by PrincipalTinker

So this my new goal. Counting guests let in from standby before I get to go.

3:41pm on 12/7/25 by Jennyhirsch

Yeah, we didn't encounter similar LL/standby rider nonsense at any other ride during our trip. All other waits were short and sweet. Only had an issue at Soarin, where the merge point is a big, nonsensical problem.

3:59pm on 12/7/25 by utang44

I had no idea you were saying you were standing at the new door and the CM let 50 standby guests go in front of you. That was not our experience in Oct. maybe 10-15.

4:23pm on 12/7/25 by popupcamper

I did not turn around but there was an attempt to significantly move the standby line while we waited. I would have appreciated that if I was in standby but that posted wait was 20 minutes.

4:31pm on 12/7/25 by PrincipalTinker

I should have said: I did not turn around after I entered the merge to see how many people were still in standby.

4:34pm on 12/7/25 by PrincipalTinker

I'm not sure I understand @PT, did the CM hold you at the door while over 50 guests went in front of you? (@jenny, I count everytime. It's usually less than 15. We should start a new tab on the spreadsheet.)

5:50pm on 12/7/25 by popupcamper

It used to be only one group IME. Now it's closer to 3-4 groups.

5:51pm on 12/7/25 by popupcamper

I felt like the LL stopped more frequently up to the point of merge, too. Rather than simply walking our way up, it was a stop and start for a while. So bigger groups of standby let in and more groups, in my experience.

6:06pm on 12/7/25 by utang44

@popup, yes, the CM held us at the door as they waved all the stand by crowd by. For us, it seemed like they loaded all the spots for the video and then reloaded multiple queues with standby before we were allowed at the end.

I am learning something new every day. I will count all the time! Although this is the first time in years I will have had a Ll for Soaring!

6:40pm on 12/7/25 by Jennyhirsch

Touring plans article said around April the standby to ll merge ratio was changed, Changing the merge point to sooner- where can they even do that with that big long wall?

First time Candlelight dining package attendee questions - how early should I arrive for the 8:15 performance? Attending Saturday 12/27 for Brie Larson. Will I receive a physical ticket or is it all digital?

One more helpful hint: if I were you, I'd probably grab a Grand Marnier slushie at the wine kiosk in France at 7:30 and then line up. That' the side the CP ticket holders wait on. Then you drink and wait for 30 minutes. At 8 they will start moving you in.

6:26pm by Jennyhirsch

I remember this boozy hint from years ago. Another tip from @Jenny is to take your Stanley for the slushie!

7:51pm by trishr.

No, no, @Trish. You take ONE Stanley with the capacity to hold TWO slushies.
