What time have people been lining up for last candlelight show?

7:35pm by Gusgus5

We lined up at 7:10 and were one of the last groups left in. We were seated in back row and had a noise from world showcase in the background. I'd def line up 60-75 minutes early to be sure we get in and get better seats next time.

For reference, we were past the switchbacks, down towards Italy, in stand by.

Oh man. Both sets of grandparents want to go but I didn't want to shell out money for dining package. Not sure they can stand that long

Can anyone give me some insight on after hours (tix event) vs. extended evening hours? I've only done early entry and after hours events all these years. I wanted to know how the two compare. I wasn't a fan of the after hours btw. Thanks!

I think I have done all parks and usually start at that park early to get some low wit attractions completed. For example, I have started at Soarin at 8:30 on EP nights and I don't stop tomeatch the night time show. Wait times are usually relatively short

We LOVE those extra 2hrs for EE - when we can get them. Got TT & GOTGx2 in Aug after watching Luminous. Probably could've squeezed something else in if we hadn't watched FW show.

But it's hard to get too many big wait attractions in. EP might actually be the least successful of the 4 parks. Still, I love the parks at night, even if just a LITTLE less crowded.

Why can't I add doing character meets at my Epcot touring plans? They have the option for mickey & Elsa/anna, but not for the other princesses...and helpful hints to make a plan?

I believe the only M&G you will find that you can add are the ones that have LL. All the other you need to create a break and then create the stop yourself. Many M&G can change and times are more random.

3:42pm by youcanfly

I agree. Another stare by is to pick a QS in the area around the time you want to do the meet and add the note that it is a holder for the meet. Character meet times are listed daily in MDE.

3:49pm by PrincipalTinker

Gotcha! Thanks. ChatGPT is a MUCH better at creating touring plans tool this app actually is

3:55pm by stacy15may@gmail.com

@youcan - no characters have LL anymore but the ones in TP are those that have a set queue and meet all day. Those that just meet at certain times aren't listed.

@stacy, until it creates a wdw and then starts putting Universal Studios dining and attractions in between the DLR steps.

4:30pm by PrincipalTinker

@stacy, you might want to send Tp staff some feedback about what you think Chat GPT is doing better. I've had too many bad experiences with ChatGPT to trust it. When it can't find something on the internet it just makes stuff up. And it doesn't...

4:55pm by evamarie320

...differentiate between reliable sources and Joe Blow's opinion blog. But if there's something it's doing better, let TP know. They are always refining their plans.

4:56pm by evamarie320

M&G in Epcot are only out for so long, leave and come back, so you could get in the line and then not be able to see the character at that time and have to wait until the next time. Many are outside/weather shuts down so can't make predictable plan

5:18pm by JenniferB1975

ChatGPT and other AI sources make stuff up regularly. I don't trust them for anything of consequence.

5:23pm by utang44

Oh, and welcome to chat! Touring Plans have many great tools to help plan your trip. Congrats on finding this one.

5:32pm by PrincipalTinker

I agree with others, I would be very careful with ChatGPT because from post I've seen on IG, it can come up with some pretty wonky stuff. And I definitely wouldn't trust it for a character because they can easily be changed out even the day of

5:56pm by youcanfly

@flute, I completely forgot about that, thanks for the reminder!

5:57pm by youcanfly

Don't forget, if you use ChatGPT, you can score some paper fastpasses and get a new LL every 2 hours if you purchase Genie Plus ; )

6:06pm by gmcc

I particularly enjoyed my suggestions for dining during Universal's Halloween Horror Nights: Cosmic Rays, Casey's, Friar's Nook. Unfortunately, nothing in Universal.

6:27pm by PrincipalTinker

Now I am thinking about this. Has anyone done a Chat GPT plan? Is it all standby? Would it pick up on any advanced LLMP strategies? Does it take TPs posted data? Len had posted some amazing charts recently.

7:06pm by PrincipalTinker

What if poster is chatbot?

I'm sorry if that sounds bad . I just can't fathom chat GPT having the ability to write a touring plan . Maybe one day but not yet

7:28pm by burfe1501

Oh, AI will write you a "touring plan," but Lord only knows what it will include.

@gmcc - I'd had spit out my coffee if I'd been drinking any! LOL

So to catch up, after Voices of Liberty I did pick a pearl in Japan so I can do a necklace fir one of my DDs fur Christmas. I got 2 pearls - twins! Fitting as I have twin DDs.

Then I went back to my hotel for a much needed nap. Came back about 5 PM and watched Joyful (a must!) and then did the Glimmering Greehouses tour.

Plotting a mnsshp, jollywood, and mvmcp trip. Trying to nail down 2026 dates. It's been the 7 or 8th for mvmcp the fast few years. Looking at 26 dates it may fall on a 6th but it has started on a Sunday in the past. What is the prob it'll be the 6th?

Bump for more eyeballs to see

1:52pm on 12/7/25 by melodicwords

I put in my trip for Oct 30-nov 8 and even touring plans thinks mvmcp will be on 6 and jollywood the 8th. Interesting.

6:53pm by melodicwords

TP calendar for next fall likely just using info from this past fall. It's a good guess but no one really knows til WDW announces.

7:29pm by evamarie320

"What's cookin'?" We have enough makings for a nice charcuterie board for DW and to enjoy for dinner tonight. Nut strudel for our dessert. Share those Monday menus please!

6:07pm by gmcc

Salmon, air fryer baked potatoes, and honey carrots.

6:25pm by TumbleMonkeys

Chicken and stuffing casserole with carrots on the side

7:09pm by ejhnstn

Somehow I didn't know about the "create your own treat" at goofys candy kitchen! We ended our trip at DS and I have a Mickey rice krispy treat to eat for dessert at home tonight.

5:18pm by NervousRex

That is my DDs' must do every trip - so much fun (and delicious)!!

My husband just surprised me with an early Christmas present going May 11th through the 15th and staying at the Polynesian for the first time I'm so excited

He's a keeper! That sounds like such a fun time :)

Wow! A great resort and a beautiful time of the year to visit! Sounds like the start of something fantastic! Enjoy

Any idea what happens if you show up to a dining reservation with one extra person?

I believe it was @Totsy who first noticed it and sure enough in Oct and just last week, I couldn't subtract or add one to our ADR's but they were able to accommodate us every time. Going to to 5 (one DB wasn't sure he was able to come until the last**

4:26pm by cdlla

** Minute) anyway, 5 was tricky - there were 2 places that obviously just pulled a chair to the side of a 4 top and we were extremely scrunched for space but they got us in to eat in a timely manner.

The line to get to The Beach Boys show in November might have been the longest I've ever seen! Went on forever.

5:47pm by utang44

Apologies if this had already been posted but just found a video of the refurb at kidani and they look gorgeous!!

5:01pm by VikeQueen

So excited to stay there in October!

5:20pm by KLuck

I saw that too! It is exciting that they have done such a great job.
