Hey guys, have been a little out of the loop lately as ive been neck deep in ski season but a friend as asking me to help plan a trip for spring break. How is BG1 these days? Back to full use? Buggy? Limited?

Good to know thank you! Thanks Joel for always finding workarounds!

I thought it was buggy when you were actually in the parks. Has that glitch been fixed?

Sounds like it, @jenny. Should be working normally.

Hi, Flying from UK and staying in Grand Floridian 4th May to 16th. w/ 4 year old daughter. Been to Disneyland Paris x2, but not "big" Disney (as my Daughter likes to call it). Would love any tips/tricks pls? Curr plan to only do mornings in parks :)

Welcome to chat. Always good to see another U.K. person on here. Have you already been looking at the main touring plans website or any YouTube's etc to get an idea? It's def v different from Paris- "big" is the word.

I find starting with the unofficial guide book is best place of this is totally new to you. Jet lag is in your favour for getting the early rope drop starts. Bet you'll end up staying well into the afternoons too - tho we liked to get our boys to bed at 4

Tips on what? In 255 characters we have to stick to a small topic at a time. Restaurants? Rides? How to get to the parks on time? Read lots of chats here. Ask questions. Agree with @hidg about reading The Unofficial Guide and the TP website and blog.

The GF has a great selection of restaurants in it and with a four year old it is perfect as it is so close to the Magic Kingdom!

At GF there's a great photo opportunity with Cinderellas glass slipper. DGD was 5 when we stayed there and loved her fashion photoshoot they did, lol. Take a night to watch fireworks and water pageant from Gaspsrilla and the courtyard area there.

Take advantage of the walkway to MK and the nice walk to Poly but the boat can also be an option to Poly. Typically it runs MK, GF, Poly and back to MK.

10:20am on 3/9/26 by youcanfly

Thanks @hodg. Ive got the book now. Seems great. Been feverishly going through YouTube videos. :)

3:27am by mattcoles72@gmail.com

My son loved taking the monorail to the MK but then ride the little boat back. If you ride the monorail back you have a zillion stops at all the resorts to get back around the circle to GF.

8:06am by Jennyhirsch

My littles hated the noise of fireworks, plus we didnt stay up late. We would put them in pj's, put on shoes, and head down to the marina by GGrill (not the boat dock) to share some ice cream and watch FW. Then straight to bed.

8:07am by Jennyhirsch

As @hodg said, WDW is big. Use a stroller. DD once tried walking. Legs were so sore after first day, it was a bummer. Park hopping is hard and takes way longer than you think. I would not park hop for 1st visit with 4 year old.

8:09am by Jennyhirsch

Also, fireworks may not even be in the picture for you because daylight is late in May, making fireworks be late. Hard to do with a little one, esp given your time difference. Skip them and enjoy rides early your mornings instead.

8:12am by Jennyhirsch

To get to Epcot from GF, you take 2 monorails. Ride the resort mono from GF to TTC, then transfer to Epcot mono. The other parks you can Uber or use the buses.

Half days in the parks are a good idea at that age. DS was 6 on his first visit and had a limit to the time he wanted to spend at the parks before he asked to go back to the pool.

Lots of water & snacks, plenty of shows for a rest, and toilet visits before getting in the queues would be my other recommendations for that age. Plus maybe do some pin trading? It became one of DS's favourite things to do!

A big difference between DLP and WDW is the distance between the parks, so definitely factor this in to your plans. Travel times are much longer and you can't walk between parks at WDW like you can at DLP

How far in advance do they release park hours? My trip isn't until September 7.

11:29pm on 3/9/26 by Delayfish

Only a few weeks in advance. It's annoying.

5:41am by Flutegarden

The first release is 70 days out? You can see the hours first in MDE.

6:25am by PrincipalTinker

So frustrating, I feel like it gets easier to plan once we have MNSSHP dates but in the meantime, look at TP date/day from last year to get an idea.

6:50am by youcanfly

You can check historical park hours on the TP website.

My family is planning to stay off site so we will be paying for parking at the parks. Anyone know if Disney gift cards can be used to pay for parking? Thanks!

First time for Cape May breakfast next week. Are the same characters there consistently? Any tips for this experience?

9:18am by snowdiz

It's always been Minnie, Daisy, Goofy & Donald for us - all in their beachwear. You get a card with the signatures on so can concentrate more on interacting with the characters. Daisy took quite a liking to DS, so we have some fun photos & video

Recommendations for a really good steak. We have been to Topolino's and Steakhouse 71 so we would like to try a different place. Thanks.

Oh! @kmg, how did I forget Capa? I love their steaks and their strip is so big they will plate it for multiple people.

5:43am by PrincipalTinker

DD had a surprisingly good and HUGE filet mignon at HBD lounge, so big we took 2/3 of it with us and had it for lunch the next day with pasta salad.

9:22am by Ali Ababwa

Another vote for Jiko. DH & DS also enjoyed their Kona Cafe steaks last week too. They were planning to order the steaks at Yak & Yeti but changed their minds to the Cantonese Pork Belly Bowl. Both said it was one of the best meals they'd had at WDW!

Why is the app suggesting that I do soaring first in the morning instead of Guardians of the galaxy?

Can you now tell TP that you will be at front of RD? Otherwise it will expect a longer wait for GotG than you'll actually have. But I can always beat the optimised plan at EP w my own order if I copy & adjust & evaluate as above.

2:11am by hodg

With the new program you should also optimize your plan at park arrival and throughout the day. It will update based on in park data.

5:41am by PrincipalTinker

If you RD soarin you can get in 3 rides.

So how's EE been at HS recently? My LLMP day is Friday and plan A is SDD, TSM, & ToT. But SDD is not looking good on thrill data. So plan B is MMRR instead and line up for SDD 1st thing at EE. Whadya think?

12:39am by urbyq

I like that plan.

8:23am by popupcamper

Yes, SDD (followed by MMRR and Frozen Sing Along) is my favorite rope drop!

Current status: pre-party double fisting POG mimosas

Life is better with Prosecco- my work here is done

2:13am by hodg

3 EXCELLENT life-changing things from yesterday at MK: POG mimosas, inflatable seat cushion, and a fully GRAY castle without any pink.
