Oh @SA I'm so happy for you! My DGD was 2 during her first visit but it was MK50th and sadly no character interaction plus masks. Her second trip at 3 was magical for the exact reason you had, those interactions make the magic for kids!

This is just precious and magical! Enjoy every second with her!

My DGD was also two on her first trip and it was such a special time! Her favorite ride was the Mommyrail! That was her term for the monorail.

"What's cookin'?" Crazy day edition: have been dealing a bit of an emergency this afternoon which will continue into the evening. Unknown dinner. Share those midweek dinner ideas!

Tonight we have a bourbon pairing and dinner at polite pig. I'm excited I was able to book this for DH, it's only offered once a year but this year it was 2 nights. Pray for me lol!

Taco evening

First trip in two years and first trip to WDW since you could buy and book LL's in advance. Can you buy for each day of your trip at once or is it a separate transaction for each day?

You can only pay for one day at a time.

2:57pm by popupcamper

Okay, thanks for clarifying. I wish you could just buy in advance for your trip and then only book at 7 days (or 3 days) out.

3:28pm by undone73

^^ I'm a tad confused, because that *is* how you do it. Unless you mean buy way in advance, then book later. Otherwise, you buy and book at seven days from check-in for all days of your trip if you're onsite.

Just got a call from DVC and they want to give me another $100 GC on my trip next week even though I've already been for $200. Damn they sure know their market!

You just made me search for Topolino's breakfast, but alas, no openings for my entire stay next week, only dinners.

3:36pm by Ali Ababwa

Omg, they just called me too! I took the tour 18 months ago with my mom for $200 and have a trip coming up. Ours is 3 jam packed family days so I'm not doing to do it. But next time I'm solo or with a friend, bring it on!

4:16pm by TumbleMonkeys

Yes, I managed to squeeze it in some flex time when I was headed from DS to MK - and I haven't been to Wailulu yet, so I may try to get in there for a midafternoon snack/drink while I'm there.

SPRINGTIME SURPRISE - DATE CHANGED!!!! It's now April 8-11. If you've already booked rooms (like I have) time to get in and change it. @Hodg, does this change you being able to come?!

11:10am on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

collapse thread

How crazy is that. Did they say why they moved the date?

11:24am on 6/16/26 by youcanfly

What a PITA

11:28am on 6/16/26 by Ali Ababwa

They didn't say why but apparently the old date was the same as Boston so maybe that's why?

11:33am on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

surprised at the date change. We like the themes but would need to take off 2 days of work that back up to our spring break; when the original dates were during break. It's frowned upon in our district for teachers to take off dates attached to a break.

11:51am on 6/16/26 by WildernessPixie

There's also no yoga listed.

12:09pm on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

They have had the same date as Boston in the past, including the 1st anniversary of the bombing.

12:11pm on 6/16/26 by PrincipalTinker

I don't know other than in my RunDisney groups that's what most people have been commenting on. That they can now go since it's not the same as Boston.

12:23pm on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

Oh! So RunDisney may now be concerned about participation when they schedule it to conflict with Boston ( the same Monday holiday every year)? When I asked about that the 1st time it happened I was told RunDisney runners were ok with it. Maybe not?

12:32pm on 6/16/26 by PrincipalTinker

It's not like the date of the Boston Marathon isn't known many years in advance though.

12:39pm on 6/16/26 by melcort10

I have no idea, I've never run Boston nor do I ever plan to. That's just the only reason I've seen mentioned so far. Springtime Surprise still sells out, but it is the slowest to sell out.

12:40pm on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

Actually I think it might have been the 1st Dark Side race but 2nd anniversary looking back. It happened recently too I think so maybe there was a change in numbers or complaints.

12:41pm on 6/16/26 by PrincipalTinker

Ooooh Bounceback dates now fall into the new race. That's good.

12:45pm on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

yay for the bounceback dates overlapping.

12:48pm on 6/16/26 by WildernessPixie

What???

5:12pm on 6/16/26 by hodg

We're set to fly for ft Lauderdale on the 8th, Destiny on 10th for 5 nights, drove to wdw for expo on 15th... then BC for 6 nights. Don't think I can turn it all around- will have to look at cruise options 1st. This is crazy to change it now

5:19pm on 6/16/26 by hodg

It isn't as if zillions of Boston runners do Springtime Surprise at Disney, too. Rather a different beast.

5:20pm on 6/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

So looks like I'm not along a 10k next year :-(

5:20pm on 6/16/26 by hodg

I'm so upset and mad I don't know what to say

5:26pm on 6/16/26 by hodg

Yeah @Jenny, I don't know if that's the reason why it's just the only reason I've seen mentioned. No one knows as far as I've seen. I KNOW @Hodg, you were the first person I thought of!

5:38pm on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

I do think many RunDisney runners do both though. Most certainly not, but many. I've gotten in the RunDisney world lately and there are quite a few that do the "majors".

5:40pm on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

There's a shorter cruise that might fit- not as good as it's Nassau not Cozumel- but we've also then got to switch BC- not as easy to do w a U.K. booking as for you guys- amd a hyatt booking in FL that's non refundable but might be able to change dates.

5:40pm on 6/16/26 by hodg

I've emailed my DCL TA as a starting point- but it's bedtime here now so not much more I can do

5:41pm on 6/16/26 by hodg

We were about to book flights as BA & virgin have sales on- not done that yet. Or when's wine & dine- are 2027 dates out yet?

5:44pm on 6/16/26 by hodg

No, W&D 2027 isn't out yet. But as we now know they can change the dates. Sigh.

6:01pm on 6/16/26 by popupcamper

Given there's always the chance we won't even manage to register for the races the 3rd option is I give up totally and shift trip to start of May to be there for DH 60th- that way I won't be leaving DS20 home alone for 2 wks on his uni Easter break

6:33pm on 6/16/26 by hodg

I am mad for your sake, too, @hodg.

6:35pm on 6/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

Not super related other than i can understand the frustration - I had a race at Kennedy Space Center rescheduled because of an Artemis launch (that didn't end up going that day). I wasnt able to reschedule and had to do it virtually, not at all the same.

6:48pm on 6/16/26 by moondance07

I think the biggest issue we have with trying to change things around is that we just booked 2 nights at Hyatt in FL for pre cruise as DH found a great deal w membership. But that is non changeable, non refundable. DH says call to ask...

1:59am by hodg

It's not the end of world if we don't get to the run- but we would not have booked a 2 week fun trip leaving DS20 home alone otherwise- we'dv done it once he was back to uni.

2:00am by hodg

Ok- so we may still be on for Springtime. I called Hyatt & they've cancelled the non cancellable reservation. We'd have to reduce to 4 nights not 5 on Destiny & its Nassau not Cozumel which is sad. BC still available on same discount a week earlier.

3:16pm by hodg

Will talk to DH tonight but think we have to do it. The whole reason we're missing spending time w our son in his break is to do the races. Might even try to get ds20 to come just for race weekend..

3:17pm by hodg

..tho he says he's not coming back till we can take him to drink around the world at Epcot.

Oh @Hodg, that would be so wonderful! That's great that Hyatt cancelled for you.

3:22pm by popupcamper

I begged! Pleading DH 60th bday & run as target for hip recovery

4:10pm by hodg

It would be great, @hodg! Sadly, I just realized the new dates overlap with The Masters at Augusta. Best part of kids all moving out is I now have a total of 6 households to get tix. Surely one lottery try will come through. Hope springs eternal.

55 to DLR - Disneyland Day! Good morning!!

11:36am by njhyndman

23 days until Beach Club Villa for 9 days! I'm getting so excited. Packing is well underway.

3:16pm by PixieDustDiva

I don't know now- might be 7 days less than expected due to Rundisney messing about

3:20pm by hodg

Anyone ever needed the charger for your MB and asked at the desk about a charger? Brought several MBs but completely forgot to charge them

10:38am by youcanfly

No, but pretty sure they sell the charger by itself in the gift shops.

11:33am by utang44

I'd ask first- not cheap to buy amd someone will have left one behind I'm sure

1:57pm by hodg

I think it's only about $8, actually. Or was at last glance.

2:59pm by utang44

That's less than i thought- but still more than nothing! Can't hurt to ask :-)
