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 ....

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.

@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!

Does Disney stop allowing entry to the park during deluxe extra evening hours at some point? For example, extra hours are 7-9, can you show up at 8? How about 8:45?

You can get into the park if you are eligible but if you do not make it to an attraction line, you are not getting on anything. Also, MK might be different but it seemed like at AK everything else stops at the end time.

Staying at BW resort view room for 1st time. We've run into many angry people in halls who can't find their room. Seems odd for a deluxe resort. Is this a normal experience at Boardwalk?

lol @hodg. My mom and I had some difficulty finding ours too. But then she went to look for ice and it was right next door, so it felt like it evened out.

I always hear about how complex and long some of those halls are BW- it's infamous for that! I will say, my only stay there, we kept running into some odd individuals, particularly at the pool
5:16pm by
The quiet pool is a challenge indeed. And you would think you'd be able to go straight from ground level at quiet pool thru a hall then exit on boardwalk. But nope! Gotta go up and then down!

"What's cookin'?" DW and I just returned from making memories with the grands and seeing Santa! Dinner tonight will be homemade pizza; traditional with pepperoni, onions and half with fresh mushrooms. German butter cookies for dessert.

I'm eating Garrett's Chicago mix that @packfan brought me. Watching Bears/Packers and sipping a Peroni. Had lunch at Nomad before getting totally drenched at AK.

Just curious about St. Augustine @eva. Not so much about the cheese and crackers ;-)

If they cancel or delay fireworks or a parade at the party, do they send out a push notification, or does it just get posted in MDE? Wondering if I should keep checking. Thanks!

I dont think so. I think news is announced over speakers in the actual park but if you aren't in park, I have no idea how you would know.

Oh my gosh, it looks like BG1 is working again to modify LL! I'm so happy!!

In March, we are onsite with AP but meeting newbie friends (4adults, 2kids) who are driving to MK in the am with a 1day tix and want to buy LL. No magic bands. How do they scan in? Prob easier for me to add them to my MDE for plans than to show her how.
12:40pm by
I wouldn't do it that way, personally. I'd have them buy and put their tickets on their own account. It's really not that complicated to set up an MDE account for an adult who can then manage the rest in their account.

For the purposes of LL buying, you just need to link to their account. Linking is way simpler and less annoying that having a bunch of people under your account.
36 min ago by
Yes it is. Also, looks like you're onsite but they aren't, so these LL will have to be booked at 3 days if they're for everybody.

We have purchased annual passes and plan to use them for the first time in a couple of weeks. In order to get PH discount at hotel, the fine print says we need to present "valid" APs at check in. Are new but unused APs "valid"? Thx
2:43pm by
With online checkin and mobile key to bypass the desk, I'm surprised that's still there. Once you activate your AP at the park this should work for everything you do including parking if needed, shopping and dining discounts etc.
3:29pm by
We have never been asked to verify an AP for the passholder resort discount. If it's visible in your account when you book (which it is, because you can't access the discount otherwise), that's all that is needed. Online check-in and carry on.
4:00pm by
On our first stay after getting APs two years ago, we checked in online and even spoke with a CM in the lobby before our APs were activated and never had to show the AP for verification.

Never seen Fantasmic before... can you just walk in 10-15 minutes before the show and have a spot? Going Dec 20

Personally, I wouldn't spend $$ on the dining package - if you weren't planning on a TS meal in HS. I'd just try to get there 30-40 mins early, which is what they tell you to do with the dining package. It is still a good show even if you are off center.

I agree with @Nervous.

If you're not picky and best chance is the second showing. It might be doable especially the second one
