I was able to snag one of the new gingerbread popcorn buckets. Super cute. They kind of keep them hidden. Every popcorn location told me that any refills have to be put directly into the bucket. So, no popcorn for me, because I got the bucket as gift.

That sounds cute, congrats!

Can someone remind me of the expiration windows for LLMP windows and the IL (like SDMT)... modifying is only getting me closer, not up my ideal times... hoping the extended window will make it perfect!

Yup

Except for shows with specifically-scheduled start times (like FotLK).

Disney Tourist Blog is saying that skyliner will not Go down in January 2025. He says it's way too late for them to announce a closure. Do we think this is good info? Currently holding Pop and Sports just in case, for 1/20-23.

I mean, he can't possibly know for sure...but I cancelled my backups at the 60 day mark. I feel like it would be super annoying/shady for them to close them now. And particularly within the 30 day mark for package cancellations. I'm just going to risk it

11:55am on 12/5/24 by NervousRex

It's a reasonable guess but it's still a guess.

11:58am on 12/5/24 by evamarie320

Mine are room only so I have some time, but I wish they would announce it one way or the other.

12:05pm on 12/5/24 by katienowaity

I've been searching for any SL news and that's what I've heard as well, I suppose no news is good news!

12:10pm on 12/5/24 by Ali Ababwa

I've also been stalking Priceline for Jan 2025 deals on property and nothing worthwhile has shown up.

12:14pm on 12/5/24 by Ali Ababwa

It usually closes in January for work and it was already announced the same for this way back in October. I asked a CM about it then and he said it would involve a station coming off line

12:56pm on 12/5/24 by Elaine5715

My gut sense is to agree that if they haven't announced it by now, they're not going to announce it.

7:15pm on 12/5/24 by Andoski

Hmm. @elsine thinks it was announced in October. But DTB thinks not announced...

8:54pm on 12/5/24 by evamarie320

I think they'll announce it when they figure out what they're doing. They won't do this during spring break season, or during hurricane season, probably not when it's too hot since that sounds like a terrible time haha I just can't imagine them skippi

9:26pm on 12/5/24 by RileysBirthday

Maybe not doing it now as Toppolinos is having a refurb in January this year.

10:36pm on 12/5/24 by Beautiesandtheb

Actually I think having SL down and Topos down at same time is smarter.

10:53am on 12/6/24 by evamarie320

I know it was announced because I was asked to ask a CM if they knew the dates. That CM said one station was going offline at the same time so maybe that is Rivera.

12:11pm on 12/6/24 by Elaine5715

Add Tom Bricker to those who say an extended downtime for SL is unlikely in January. Good!!!

11:55am by Ali Ababwa

I asked through Disney chat. They told me no planned maintenance for SL is currently scheduled. They said unless unexpected maintenance, Disney would have already announced a closure for January.

12:24pm by Arkruts

@Ali Tom Bricker *is* Disney Tourist Blog (see OP).

How many pages/scrolls did it take him to share this bit of information? :p

18 min ago by Totsypooh

^ I'm sure his HS English teacher is appalled by his rambling writing style. Of course, that HS English teacher is probably amazed at how much $ a blogger like him can make ;)

14 min ago by gmcc

I dont think its writing style so much as a way to make people spend a long time on his page and be exposed to more ads which is probably a metric to get paid more.

Trying to clear up mixed info... if I want to go into Epcot thru IG to rope drop Remy this Thursday (crowd level 6) BUT am staying at All Star Movies... What's most efficient? I'm flexible Uber/lyft? How bar from there can it drop off? Bus to HS th...

11:35am by aajk06

With 6 people you'd have to get an Uber XL. I cannot imagine the time savings is worth it. I would take the all star bus to the front of the park and plan on being there as early as possible.

43 min ago by jenc45

Having rideshare drop you off at Dolphin would be a slightly shorter walk than the Swan, but I agree with @jenc. That's a lot of effort and expense to save a little bit of time in line (for, let's be honest, a so-so ride).

6 min ago by Andoski

If you just take an early bus over and rope-drop Remy from the main entrance at the start of EE, you won't wait THAT much longer in line than if you came thru the IG. Or get an LLMP for it.

4 min ago by Andoski

On a CL8 day at HS, is it reasonable that we could get SDD, MMRR done , and be near RnRc and ToT by the end of early entry ? Our group moves relatively quickly and we would be in HS as soon as the taps open.

44 min ago by chuck2780

It's possible if the stars align but I don't know if I would count on it. They let the off-site guests all the way to the lands now. I would anticipate being behind them for RNRC and ToT.

39 min ago by melcort10

Oof ok. Thank you!

34 min ago by chuck2780

I think a more reasonable goal would be to get to MMRR before the end of EE. Between the preshow and the ride itself, MMRR is a fairly lengthy attraction - hard to think you'd make it to something else all in those 30 minutes.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

I just read that in People. So sad!

8:47pm on 12/7/24 by matterhorn55

Gosh that is so horrible. And completely avoidable. Gosh as somebody with a life threatening allergy I'm so angry for her. She did everything she was supposed to and they still didn't keep her safe :(

8:53pm on 12/7/24 by NeedMoreSkellington

It's terrifying isn't it? I don't have an allergy but my son does. We count on servers to get this right. I'm devastated for the family.

8:57pm on 12/7/24 by VikeQueen

From a system standpoint in the parks I'm curious as to the presence of allergy kits in restaurants with epi pens, etc. Those buy time for EMS to arrive.

2:12pm on 12/8/24 by BlastThatPeterPan

This is very sad. Stories like this are also the reason why I make sure my kids (who both have food allergies) never leave the house without their EpiPens because the chance of accidental exposure is always there, unfortunately.

2:23pm on 12/8/24 by JoeyPotter98

There seems to have been several sad and scary allergy reaction stories lately. :(

2:43pm on 12/8/24 by JJT (staff)

Just note I didn't see in the article where it said if she was given Epi or not. Sadly even with Epi, some people can still die from allergic reaction.

3:59pm on 12/8/24 by maurine08

@maurine, true. I have big hopes for therapies like oral peanut allergen powder for decreasing the chances of a reaction that can't be managed with initial epi plus expeditious advanced interventions.

5:15pm on 12/8/24 by BlastThatPeterPan

I don't think I would trust any commercial kitchen with my life.

5:18pm on 12/8/24 by Ali Ababwa

I've seen hospital kitchens serve bread products to people with documented severe celiac disease, after being warned. I'd expect much lower compliance from public restaurants.

5:26pm on 12/8/24 by Ali Ababwa

Curious- if you need an epipen do you carry two? Cos the epipen dose is lower than the therapeutic dose for anaphylaxis for adults. Better than not taking it though

6:37pm on 12/8/24 by hodg

I carry just one but I'm fortunate that my allergy has gotten less severe as I got older. When I was younger a double episode pen would've bought me about 8 minutes according to my doctor's estimates. Now Benadryl would probably be ok if I took it in time

6:48pm on 12/8/24 by NeedMoreSkellington

But I haven't tested it and never plan to. Almost dying once as a kid was enough for a lifetime.

6:49pm on 12/8/24 by NeedMoreSkellington

My son always has 2. There is always a chance you could need 2 or that the first could malfunction. I have to send him to college next year and I'm already panicking

6:50pm on 12/8/24 by VikeQueen

Yes, it is recommended to carry 2 pens. As @Skellington knows very well they buy you time - but not necessarily a lot of time.

6:57pm on 12/8/24 by BlastThatPeterPan

DD always carries 2 epipens and Benadryl. One epipen of a friend did not fire when her son was 2 (the needle jammed). Luckily they had 2 at the time.

7:43pm on 12/8/24 by Jennyhirsch

The whole story is not in this article. Way too many unanswered questions to go wild blaming a server or food provider.

7:44pm on 12/8/24 by Jennyhirsch

Side question: how do you all carry Epi-pens? DS is getting allergy shots and needs an Epi for those appointments. I've been keeping it in my purse, otherwise it would be forgotten!

7:55am by GoGreenGoWhite

Dd has been carrying her Epis/reacue inhalers since she was 11. She had a separate small backpack for those items that was stored on a peg right outside the door.

8:24am by KLuck

I just keep mine is my med drawer until its time for the shot appointment. Dont let her become complacent about bringing them to her appointment. I started to have mild anaphylaxis symptoms during the last stage of the shots. Scary.

8:26am by Totsypooh

DS used to carry them in a neck wallet now he carries a messenger bag. It's easier for girls to throw them in a purse. Harder for a boy who doesn't want to look different.

11:48am by VikeQueen

He has self carried for a long time and he always has it with him

11:48am by VikeQueen

The Auvi Qs are great. Small enough for most Lululemon pockets including the zipper pocket in small of back, crossbodies, wristlets, invisible stretchy thin running belts for your kids' outdoor school camping or canoeing trips.

I guess it's like a diabetic carrying their kit- DS's friend just has a little bag with him always. Usually carrying a hockey backpack so it goes in that. Harder for parties etc.

12:46pm by hodg

I agree: Our kids really like the Auvi Qs for easier dropping in a pocket. (We bought cases that a pair of them fit into.) Then AuviQ company stopped subsidizing and our insurance never picked them up in the formulary. #blarg

We had access to AviQs for one entire year before insurance decided not to carry it again ugh so it's back to the long and clunky Epis :( 2 of our 4 kids plus dh carry then

hello everyone , Has anyone had trouble linking a dolphin hotel reservation purchased through undercover tourist to my disney? I have spoken to disney, dolphin and undercover tourist ..I have at least figured out that dolphin sees reservation now

11:45am by melafrance

You first step is to be able to view the reservation in the Marriott Bonvoy app. Once you can do that, then you link that Marriott reservation number to your WDW profile.

In above avg crowds, is SL best transport option bw EP and HS?

12:10pm by dreamindisney

Walking will almost always beat SL. If the boat is ready to load it is pretty close to same as SL. SL is often quicker than boat because it loads continuously.

12:20pm by evamarie320

If you see the boat loading, hop onto it. Otherwise skyliner. Walking is fastest, but you have to decide if your feet and legs want to endure a (totally optional) mile-long walk.

I have an 8am Keys to the Kingdom tour in 2 weeks and Magic Kingdom opens at 9 that day. Do they still have a separate tap point for pre-park.opening reservations? Trying to work out logistics and timing of arriving from POR.

@zig- have you talked to a CM?

7:49am by JERancher

There should definitely be a spot allowing access for early tours and dining. You'd just probably need to ask to access it.

7:55am by utang44

I asked three CM, no special line. They let us in at 7:45 so we still made it but if we were not at front we would've been pushing it.

Any word on whether the new Poly lounge bar will be walk up only or ADRS?

10:57am by bonniem70

Very few bars take ADRs. Very very popular ones institute a system when they get overwhelmed. (The Enchanted Rose at GF, Nomad Lounge at AK, Trader Sam's at poly). I don't think we'll know about this new one til we see how popular it is.

12:28pm by evamarie320

I think the only "lounge" at WDW that takes full-blown ADRs is Space 220? The island tower is in an inconvenient-enough location that I can't see it (long-term) being busier than Trader Sam's.
