Epcot sure seemed busier than a 6 today.

Idk but it was so cool! Got to see the flyover all the way to some fantastic fireworks

Anyone no where the best macarons are in the parks? Not planning on DS this trip fyi. Thanks.
1:35pm on 7/4/26 by
The regular ones from Boulangerie in Epcot are yum. Also, my DD who has a nut and dairy allergy is able to have macarons as they have a nut and dairy free option that are actual macarons and they're really good. You have to ask- they're not on the menu.
4:16pm on 7/4/26 by
I had no idea about the nut safe macarons. This is so exciting to hear.

Jennyhirsch, yes just ask. The ingredients were listed on the package. I'm hoping they are still available this year. My daughter was so thrilled to be able to eat what everyone else was enjoying eating.

"What's cookin'?" Independence Day edition: originally we didn't have and you dinner plans by turning into a pool and homemade pizza party! I'm making pizza three ways since our DS and his family are here. One traditional cheese, one pepperoni and

Caprese pasta salad, fruit tray in the pattern of American flag, s'mores bars, 4th of July cookies...hummus, pretzels and other fun foods!
6:30pm on 7/4/26 by
BBQ burgers, fries, fresh corn and fruit salad.

Garden grill then coral reef for a quick apps/ kids food and share a dessert before fireworks . Every server has been above and beyond in our requests ..sauce on side / no food touches etc etc . It's been great

With the low crowds, I am curious: how many of you prefer having a day with no LL and going slow- hopping into shows, doing whatever lines have low wait times, long food breaks, and just going with the flow w/o the stress of needing to make LLs?

As long as you don't obsess about modifying it only takes a minute to book your next attraction in MDE. You're really not on your phone constantly.
5:05pm on 7/3/26 by
I was there last week and yes it was not busy but the top attractions still had long waits.
9:43pm on 7/4/26 by
We only buy GOTG for three of us, once per trip. Other than that, we rope drop, nap, and close out the parks with whatever happens to work for us at the time.
10:38pm on 7/4/26 by
So doing my first solo trip. I'm booking a preferred room at Pop. Would you get just the preferred or the preferred pool view? I'm just a little nervous about being by myself. Which one would you feel safer at?
7:27pm on 7/4/26 by
My actual only solo stay was at POR and it was fine but I live in Houston proper so maybe I'm used to feeling like I could be knifed at any moment.
8:51pm on 7/4/26 by
I was just at POR a week ago and came back to my room after midnight after my bus from MK broke down and didn't think anything of it - I just make sure no one is nearby when I open my door.
10:30pm on 7/4/26 by
At Pop I've never felt unsafe near the central buildings, because you're almost always in a direct line of sight with 4 stories of rooms.

Having very non-magical time right now stuck at the CB SL station. Was transferring from EPCOT to AOA when storms shut it down. Waiting on buses 45 minutes and counting. Oh well - can't win them all!
4:33pm on 7/4/26 by
We waited out the hour and finally made it back. Next time, though, I'll know to use a different strategy! Had no idea it would take so long. The buses have been excellent otherwise.
5:23pm on 7/4/26 by
That delay does seem odd! When we once had to grab the SL resort bus from BC to Pop during a storm, I'm thinking it came within 10 minutes or so. Was coming from the front of Epcot.
5:59pm on 7/4/26 by
We really wish they had an official walking path from CBR to AoA/Pop for these circumstances.
10:25pm on 7/4/26 by
Had the most magical fireworks experience by accident tonight. Got to Magic Carpets right before 9. No line so they let us stay on for four rides, all the way through the show! Just spun around watching the fireworks coming from every direction. Amazing!
11:19pm on 7/3/26 by
@Ali I asked CM when we got on if we could ride multiple times, they said it would be up to the operator. When the ride stopped he said if you want to keep riding, stay seated. So I think it's CM's discretion, and also of course how many vehicles needed.
4:01pm on 7/4/26 by
I should add we were on our way to Jungle Cruise and just noticed no wait at Magic Carpets - we weren't trying for FW, just a happy coincidence.
4:12pm on 7/4/26 by
Love that!
9:58pm on 7/4/26 by
I've never used a fuel rod, thinking of buying one for my daughter so she can trade it out in case she forget to charge her anker charger. Are they still readily available at parks? Are people still using them. Thanks!
8:00am on 7/4/26 by
How long do they last?
8:30pm on 7/4/26 by
I have used the small ones for years. They work well in a pinch but are not super powerful. I purchased the larger one from Amazon because there are places to swap it. I returned it because it is super heavy and I don't want that.
9:52pm on 7/4/26 by
@magical it gives my iPhone about a 3/4 charge. I don't use it in real life but it's great in the world.

Booking 3 kids for haircuts at Harmony and want to follow with a Capture Your Moment session. What do you think would be best timing for booking each location?
11:01pm on 7/3/26 by
No knowledge of either. Bumping for others
8:35am on 7/4/26 by
I'd book it all for the time your kids are most cooperative and least likely to melt down. So not when hungry or tired.
8:37am on 7/4/26 by
We did Harmony at our mid morning break time. That way we could rope drop rides, but have their hair look nice for the bulk of the day while we met with characters. Haven't done Capture Your Moment. The cooperative timing comment is good advice.
8:55am on 7/4/26 by
Morning before they get all hot and sweaty

For anyone who's eaten bfast at Ale&Compass is the enhancement an additional $28? On top of entree price? Just thinking that seems really high
8:10pm on 7/3/26 by
Perhaps it was a one-off server but they definitely pointed to the age when we asked. I don't believe it was at breakfast but it has been awhile so can't recall for sure.
9:35am on 7/4/26 by
We've done A&C 3x in last 18mo & really enjoyed the $28 "enhancement" buffet. It includes basic coffee or juice, so when compared to a buffet or other nicer sit-down, it feels like a good deal. Throw in DVC, etc discounts & it can be a steal
3:47pm on 7/4/26 by
My DD got the buffet and I ordered 2 eggs with bacon and coffee. I believe you can ask for whatever you prefer. Maybe I got "sides"
