Is the tree up at wilderness yet?

4:42pm on 11/16/24 by JMcGuire20

It's being put up as I type! It's like nothing I've ever seen before! Like a movie production with so many people and props and spectators!

12:01am by TheChild

Cool. Thanks for the report!

12:03am by gmcc

@TheChild- I'm guessing you mean the WL tree? That would be cool to see the production of it going up!

12:06am by Tinkerminnie

Tomorrow is the day I book my LLMP for the first time! I am nervous! Any advice? I have my 3 picked for each day so hopefully I chose wisely. I'm not 100% on the order I should book. Send pixie dust please :)

Sending pixie dust and following. :)

5:41pm on 11/19/24 by jodizzle

I'd think you should book the day you want SDD first? Or Tiana?

@jenny ok! I will prioritize that day and maybe Epcot w Remy?

7:49pm on 11/19/24 by momtwofour

The way I decided which to book first was by looking at the availability. I saw that some rides were already starting to book kinda late in day and I didn't want to wait too long and get a really late time. I used this availability chart:

7:53pm on 11/19/24 by evamarie320

I hadn't seen that chart. Holy cow! 7D and Tron are gone (I assume for LLSP) for booking 7 days out? How on earth do offsite or spur of moment people have a chance?

8:14pm on 11/19/24 by Jennyhirsch

I was just looking at the chart and came here to ask why is living w the land Gone starting on Nov 29??!!!

8:19pm on 11/19/24 by momtwofour

And @jenny I really don't get how stuff gets booked up so fast but yet when it was FP+ you actually had a chance to get the bigger rides.

8:20pm on 11/19/24 by momtwofour

Living with the Land has a very popular Christmas overlay that starts that day. Also, in the tiered parks, people can pre select two tier twos and only one tier one, so the popular tier 2s go fast!

8:25pm on 11/19/24 by TumbleMonkeys

I think someone said living with the land will be listed under a new name starting November 29th when the holiday overlay is in place. I'm so bummed to be missing the holiday decorations on this one; it's delightful when decorated for Christmas.

8:25pm on 11/19/24 by sjquilici

Ok I do remember seeing that somewhere too! I think Jungle Cruise is the same way??

8:27pm on 11/19/24 by momtwofour

In my experience, which admittedly was often in that very busy week between Christmas and New Years, FPP lines were longer than LL lines are, so in my opinion, they're not allotting as many slots to LL.

8:27pm on 11/19/24 by TumbleMonkeys

Yes, Jungle Cruise is already running as Jingle Cruise for the season!

8:28pm on 11/19/24 by TumbleMonkeys

@Tumble that could be true. I will feel a whole lot better when I get this done tomorrow lol

9:20pm on 11/19/24 by momtwofour

Question...if I am buying ILL for only certain people on my group should I do the LLMP first and go back out and do the ILL?

9:25pm on 11/19/24 by momtwofour

Yes, if only a subset of your party needs the LLSP, do that in a separate transaction.

9:35pm on 11/19/24 by Andoski

Ok! Another question. Crunch time here lol Can you modify a LLMP ride and remove someone?

10:04pm on 11/19/24 by momtwofour

I just did mine Monday and didn't get mine train the day I wanted even though it appeared there was availability for mid afternoon that day when I checked night before. It was gone that fast. If I could redo I'd prioritize that over LLMP. Good luck!

11:53pm on 11/19/24 by tl5

Need all this info for Sunday!

I can't decide which is worse. Cramming all the park days of stress into one crazy morning in advance or setting an alarm to stress each park day and spread it out a little. :D I suppose getting it out of the way early means you have more time to pivot.

11:54am on 11/20/24 by GoldenDreams

@golden I was thinking about this also. Get it's all said and done it is nice to have it booked and I can move stuff around, make a plan. And I can sleep later while we are there.

12:11pm on 11/20/24 by momtwofour

One benefit too is there is more benefit to beign onsite as far as getting good LLs - vs a free for all at 7am. Its not fun to stress on the morning og a park day and be forced to be ip before 7. With prebooked LLs my mornings were much more relaxed

12:28pm on 11/20/24 by Totsypooh

I definitely agree. This will be the first trip in years that I don't need that 630am alarm for every park day. So looking forward to that!!

I am so excited that I don't have to set the alarm for 6:30 every single day! Hooray! I have not yet chosen my LL's, and am quite intimidated by how far out Tianna, and 7DMT are completely gone. And several others are only available afternoon.

11:45pm on 11/20/24 by TeacherGrandma

Okay folks, shameful plug: I was thrilled to be a guest on the WDW Prep To Go Podcast as a trip report guest. No promises that my stuff will be great- I haven't done this very often before!- but I loved talking to Shannon Albert, and contributing to...

Awesome!

Has anyone used BG1 for a Remy drop lately? I saw the drop happen yesterday and it lasted for about 2 minutes but without an actual park ticket that was valid it's impossible to see what group size would work.

No wonder I never got it for our party of 6 even with Standby Skipper. I tried for 5 days. I always get it for our party of 3.

10:13pm on 11/20/24 by TikiNiki

This is interesting news. I was under the impression that groups of 4 and under have no difference in LL availability, but over 4 can have less availability.

11:04pm on 11/20/24 by rickelwoman

Glad I wasn't counting on a drop for Remy!

11:05pm on 11/20/24 by rickelwoman

Is GOTG and Tiana's still VQ only? My dd9 has DAS for this trip if that makes any difference. I may need to refind the video on how to use BG1. It's been awhile!

@evamarie...thank you!

10:06pm on 11/20/24 by penguinmom98

How hard is it to get GOTG and Tiana? Are they gone in seconds like VQs before? And is it at 7am day of for off property? Thanks for all your help!

10:46pm on 11/20/24 by penguinmom98

With Poly Tower opening up to all DVC yesterday, many other rooms opened up with people modifying reservations. I was able to switch from SSR to BLT for 3 nights in February. I know of the refurbishment happening, so not worried. How do Liners like BLT?

11:25am on 11/20/24 by allanmayo

Loved it! Location is absolutely magical with fantastic views of MK ans easy access to TOTWL. Pool is just so so though.

11:31am on 11/20/24 by Totsypooh

The kitchen is kind of a galley and separate from the room

11:33am on 11/20/24 by Totsypooh

We really like BLT though we only stay in 1br and 2br so I can't really speak about studios. The access to MK can't be beat, and it's nice to have the monorail to Epcot. We like SH71 bar/lounge and also enjoyed breakfast there.

11:58am on 11/20/24 by KLuck

The studio was super cramped with 2 adults and 1 six year old.

12:25pm on 11/20/24 by Crazycatlady3

Location can't be beat though!

12:25pm on 11/20/24 by Crazycatlady3

We did three adults in a BLT studio. Not gonna lie- it was tight. We were just there for two nights, and solely for MK proximity, so we made it work and it was fine. But it's not a life choice I would make otherwise.

12:29pm on 11/20/24 by JERancher

My kids really liked the BLT pool and slide! The community hall is nice too.

12:42pm on 11/20/24 by melcort10

I love the location more than anything. The rooms are adequate and in need of some updating. But nothing that would stop me from staying there. My kids also loved the pool and slide when they were younger

1:59pm on 11/20/24 by VikeQueen

Thanks Liners. This is a solo excursion and I'll be focused on MK for this last part of my trip. Walking to MK is the main reason why I booked and also I've never stayed before.

2:03pm on 11/20/24 by allanmayo

Zero theming makes it a non repeatable stay for us but I know that doesn't bother some people :) there always seemed to be a jam for the elevator pre RD, too.

3:24pm on 11/20/24 by cdlla

For a solo trip, it's a great option!

3:55pm on 11/20/24 by JERancher

I would totally stay there for a solo trip (and I might, depending on what's available once I decide when in March I'll be going!)

4:41pm on 11/20/24 by KLuck

That's where I stayed for my solo trip! Great choice !

4:56pm on 11/20/24 by VikeQueen

Love BLT! Excited to see her glow up but you cannot beat it for walking to and from MK.

Location is great! Studio is set up very odd! For a solo trip you'll be fine, but there is very little bathroom space. Tons of kitchen space though!! I ended up turning the kitchen into my hair drying room.

7:18pm on 11/20/24 by Kimluvsdisney

@kim, oh gosh, I'd forgotten how big that space was! Super weird layout. I think we may have parked our ECV in there, lol.

10:24pm on 11/20/24 by JERancher

I'm balding on top, so I won't be using the kitchenette to dry my receding hairline.

10:43pm on 11/20/24 by allanmayo

What would you recommend as the Best resorts to visit during Christmas season? Obviously we have Grand Floridian on list but what else. Doing short 3 day trip and Christmas party at MK. Want to do a resort day as well. Thanks.

Wilderness Lodge is fantastic. BW/BC/YC all have fun lobby displays, which is an easy loop around crescent lake.

7:53pm on 11/20/24 by Andoski

WL is stunning at Christmas.

9:07pm on 11/20/24 by cdlla

Agree with others. In terms of Christmas decor, the heavy hitters are Grand Flo, Contemp, WL, BC, BW, YC, and AKL. It's unlikely you'll be able to park in any of these, so best to take Disney transportation if possible.

10:17pm on 11/20/24 by JERancher

We are going to Hollywood studios for early hours in the morning and don't have ssd but we want to ride it. We do have llmp just don't have slinky yet. What would you do? Go at 7:30 opening, follow my tp and go at 10:00 at what they estimate as 35min wait

I always rope drop it. However most of my visits SDD was not running. And didn't open until after park opening. I had other stuff booked and wanted to ride SDD so stood in line. But lost out on other attractions.

9:42pm on 11/20/24 by nightowl04

I'm planning to RD SDD tomorrow and will report back.

10:02pm on 11/20/24 by Operaml

Kids chose to RD TSM this week, But SDD was up and running about 5 minutes before early entry. tSM started right on time.

10:14pm on 11/20/24 by lizshiv

Sanaa construction- we were discussing a while back how much the view would be blocked. Right now They have all the windows frosted over at Sanaa so you can't see outside at all. The backside of Kidani has scaffolding, but noother views are not blocked

@goofy, how long ago was that?

8:42pm on 11/20/24 by 56arlene

It was fully blocked in mid October.

9:34pm on 11/20/24 by nightowl04

It was half-blocked the last week of Sept, but things were ramping up at that time. Sorry to hear about that, @liz, but I hope the food was good! I've never had a bad meal there.

10:13pm on 11/20/24 by JERancher

Didn't go well. HS for Nov 29 the earliest I could get was ToT at 1140. I'm not sure what to do. If I should grap Star Tpurs at 940. I planned to RD RnR so that's way out of the way. I feel like I just wasted money on that day

@oper maybe I should cancel one and book frozen in hopes of getting something at 9. It's the day after Thanksgiving though so not feeling confident there will be much

8:41am on 11/20/24 by momtwofour

Please don't precook Frozen Sing Along during the holidays! Olaf appears and we don't want him to be a. . . Happy snowman!

9:07am on 11/20/24 by TumbleMonkeys

Lol! Prebook, not cook!
