I know about window decoration for Pop etc... Do people decorate WL balcony slider windows for the 7/4? I would think anything on outside balcony/railings is a no no.

11:08am by suzydazzle

I've never seen windows decorated at deluxe resorts

Hi liners! Quick SWA question: is the "old" modify flight if the price drops thing still work? I have barely flown in the last year (thanks gas prices) and feel so out of the loop!

I had to call because it keep deleting ny seat selection each time and was trying to make me pay again for that seat.

11:23am on 5/21/26 by bzdisney14

If it's the cheapest fare, i believe you have to cancel and rebook. I believe in the other fares you can modify. I find it easiest to book 2 one-way flights so that makes modifying and making changes much easier.

12:14pm on 5/21/26 by JenniferB1975

I only use points so I only buy cheapest flight one way. It gets dificults since there is always someone who cannot commit to dates. I make a res for 3 of us and then a res forone of us. If need be I can cancel them later.

12:34pm on 5/21/26 by JackOfAll

Cheapest fare cannot be modified. It can, however, be canceled for a credit. BUT the credit from the cheapest "Basic" fares expires 6 months from day you made the original reservation. Next fare up has a year expire.

1:43pm on 5/21/26 by Jennyhirsch

Points just go back into account. If you buy Cheapest fare you can upgrade it first then cancel the ticket to get the year or whatever. Or us the gift card trick and get all the money back as non expiring if this still works.

2:33pm on 5/21/26 by JackOfAll

The gift card trick will also let you transfer the money to someone else later. At least mine can.

2:37pm on 5/21/26 by JackOfAll

If anyone cares; I canceled the old flight; made a new reservation for more $$ than the expiring credit, used a gift card to pay the extra on the top ticket before the expiring credit. Then I canceled the new ticket. All $$ became; Expiration: None

2:44pm on 5/21/26 by JackOfAll

@JTT shared this first so the credit goes there. Here? With him!!

2:45pm on 5/21/26 by JackOfAll

Yes, can't remember who discovered this, but just did that with a flight today! It is very useful.

3:21pm on 5/21/26 by Jennyhirsch

I am similar to @Jack, I can never get an answer on specific dates so I hedge my bets by booking all of us on cheapest points flights I can grab with different start/end dates. If one person can't make it is easy to split the PNR & remove them...

6:25pm on 5/21/26 by JJT (staff)

..Later when we do pick a date I either cancel the others. If I have another flight for the day after our plans, I might keep that until we're actually butts in seats as an insurance policy. Good reason to amass a lot of SW points. :D Because points..

6:27pm on 5/21/26 by JJT (staff)

are always returned, simplest tactic for price drops is book cheapest Choice fare and do the cancel/rebook. If I were using $, I'd likely avoid Choice fare to make things easier, but the GC trick counteracts flight credit expiration so is a judgment call.

6:30pm on 5/21/26 by JJT (staff)

I also try to amass as many SW miles as possible to have more options. DD's DBF will not commit to dates so I have 3 flights home for him just in case.

6:59pm on 5/21/26 by JackOfAll

I'm in awe of yalls organization skills. As yall know I forget to buy flights for people when trying to play the points game. I can't even imagine having 3 flights booked and trying to remember to cancel 2.

7:44pm on 5/21/26 by popupcamper

To be fair: my Google calendar reminders have gotten out of hand. :D

Like @bzdizney JB canceled my seats and had to buy again. Ultimately they refunded the 6 times it happened on App as result of their changes to our flight times, 3x times x2 one way tickets.

8:36pm on 5/21/26 by Magicalday2011

I also book multiple flights with points and I've learned to create a simple chart in my notes app so I can easily see which flights and how many points I paid for them. But I did accidentally cancel the wrong flight the other day. :(

9:34pm on 5/21/26 by rickelwoman

I still modify my SW flights if price drops. More interesting if already chosen your seats. Have to pick a new seat when rebooking but can go back in immediately and get the original seat. Basic fare have to cancel, get credit and rebook.

If you've been to The Beak and Barrel, how was your experience? I'm trying to decide if the risk of being put in the standing-only section is worth it for my party of two. Thanks!

We have been there standing with 3 adults and loved it! Probably one and done for the three of us...but then we went with big family and got a table and loved it! Worth doing at least once

7:53pm on 5/21/26 by GoofyShoe

We are party of 2 also. Seated at a table with another family. We thought it was just ok but would go again if we had a group

8:00pm on 5/21/26 by youcanfly

We were a group of four and we were seated at a table in the bar area with just us towards the end of the night. Just a once and done for me, probably, but food and drinks were fine.

8:10pm on 5/21/26 by JERancher

We were a party of 2 in late January of this year. We were sat at a table by ourselves. I'm glad we did it and we still think about those corn cakes, but it was very loud and I would not want to take my whole family or small kids.

8:34pm on 5/21/26 by averiesmama210

We were a twosome seated at a large table in the main room. Other than polite hellos, we did not interact with others at our table. We loved the experience and will return. I would not want to stand, and the back room would be less desirable for us.

9:21pm on 5/21/26 by snowdiz

My sister and I were seated at the long table in the main room between families with kids. We both enjoyed the experience, the corn cakes, and the marrrrrrgarita. That being said, it was LOUD and chaotic. People w noise sensitivities or problems with 1/

flashing lights (like adult son w post concussion syndrome) would not do well! I would like to go back w dh and maybe 26yo who likes Pirates but would have to wear their noise cancelling headphones. Main room was great; other rooms could be fun if 2/

with a large group. 3/3

10:40pm on 5/21/26 by KLuck

Party of 4 and we were seated in the far booth to the right of the restaurant, totally tucked away. Couldn't see anything going on but food and drinks were good - we won't be back as of now

3:40am by NatTheCat

We were party of 2 at the counter that had the divider, but were on the "good" side of it in the main room section, so we just swiveled to see parrot, bar, etc. Loved it, but haven't booked again in fear of getting a "bad" spot. Could request spot maybe?

We were a party of two seated at the bar. Perfect spot for being able to see everything going on. Loved it!

9:24am by BraveDisgrrl

We were a party of 2 and got seated right in front of the fireplace. It was fabulous. So you can get lucky sometimes.

11:25am by sivako4750

We were 4 at table next to fireplace so coukd sort of see the bar area. 2 other couple on the table- but in-laws don't hear well so did get chat much. They were good getting us sat down w DH & inlaws. Drinks fine but prob only go back if had DSs with us.

I like ur name

Ty! It's funny you say that. I'm also a (semi) local that takes a lot of day trips to Disney, but we usually get there in the afternoon, so I thought it'd be funny if I changed my name to Nooner, but I think that means something else :)

If you wanted a simple dinner would you go for kona, boma, or Sanaa? I'm vegetarian but would want something a bit different than cafeteria food one meal

When I really look over the menus, most restaurants have one vegetarian dish. Most are accommodating.

My vegetarian partner described Boma as "vegetarian heaven" and was the best meal she had during our vacation

This vegetarian says Boma!

Not sure if someone already said this but we're at EP and they've got Soarin open for anyone right now! Just hopped in line

All knowing Liners, will Bell Services transfer our bags from Pop to the Dolphin? I cannot remember the verdict from Liners, but there's a lot of conflicting info out there.

9:25am by rickelwoman

There was a time that Pop BS was farmed out to a contractor and their policies didn't match the rest of WDW. I'm honestly not sure if the current status. But the internet probably has a mix of old and current policies explaining the mess you're seeing.

10:17am by evamarie320

Thanks, @evamarie. We may just have to ask when we get there and use a Lyft to move ourselves if we can't transfer. No biggie. I know they will hold our stuff and we always break midday anyway! Unless anyone has recent experience? :)

NDR - headed to Dollywood next month with ride obsessed kids. Any rope drop or touring suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice!!

8:35pm on 5/21/26 by carolbahn

RD isn't really a thing. Much more laid back. Do big Bear or the wooden coasters first. There is just 1 indoor ride (fire coaster). Everything pretty much closes in red. Save time for shows.

Mammoth club went there a little while ago if you want to watch a fun video

Non Disney park Protocol. Always head to the back and work your way forward.

9:40am by JackOfAll

Went last fall and loved it! Stayed in DW hotel, and got to use fast pass lanes for the first hour of opening. Made for a very chill start to the day! Kids get measured once at front of park and get wristbands to show what rides they're eligible for.

Anyone have issues with 2 year old magic band +'s? I can't get them to reset or pair for anything

9:09pm on 5/19/26 by Apeery

collapse thread

I got a new iPhone a couple months ago. Had to go through the pairing process. Been working fine I think.

9:45pm on 5/19/26 by cobia

Mine is a couple years old and it would only briefly light up when put in the charger- but not while it was charging. Won't light for any effects. GS said it will function for everything but just won't have light effects anymore.

9:49pm on 5/19/26 by Tinkerminnie

Seems like a lot of money for something that only lasts a couple years.

6:43am on 5/20/26 by vickiwaffles

Especially since the implied benefit was they would last longer since you could charge them.

7:18am on 5/20/26 by popupcamper

New MagicBands-plus are $35, I've always felt they offer enormous convenience and time savings, and the cost is negligible in the context of a WDW trip. I keep backup old ones in my luggage just in case.

11:09am on 5/20/26 by Ali Ababwa

Typical of new cell phones. 2 year battery life then they die so you have to buy a new one. I find the free plastic key cards from the front desk to work just as well. Don't need to spend $$ on a thousand pics and videos.

12:52pm on 5/20/26 by Jennyhirsch

Mine still works at 3 years. It did crash and I had to reset it but it went well and works again. Front Desk will reset it for you if need be.

2:47pm on 5/20/26 by JackOfAll

The one I purchased the first day that they were available (so 2022?) still works perfectly. The other one isn't functional for reasons too stupid to describe here, but I can use it as a regular MB. I may buy a new one with my AP discount next week.

3:05pm on 5/20/26 by utang44

My 2022 one also still works fine. I had an issue with it not pairing once in the past but eventually some answer I found on the internet worked-wish I could remember what it was!

3:59pm on 5/20/26 by ThankThePhoenicians

We haven't used this in over 2 years so maybe it failed

8:54pm on 5/20/26 by Apeery

Is it fully charged?

9:37pm on 5/20/26 by utang44

Have you tried putting it in rice?

6:53am on 5/21/26 by Fatty McButterpants

We have two from 2022 that work fine. I turn them off (push button on back for around 6 seconds until MB vibrates twice) when we get back from WDW.

1:05pm on 5/21/26 by Dell795

Rice is always best with butter.

2:15pm on 5/21/26 by JackOfAll

It only vibrates when i have it on the charger . I can't get it to vibrate at all otherwise . Only one of 4 works. May just have to buy new ones

5:07pm on 5/21/26 by Apeery

To perform a full factory reset on your MagicBand , press the button on the back of the band once, then quickly press it a second time and hold it down for 15 seconds. You will feel three distinct vibrations, and the band will glow rainbow colors,

5:42pm on 5/21/26 by JackOfAll

and the band will glow rainbow colors, indicating the reset is complete

Nope, nothing it doesn't make sense that it buzzes when charging and acts like it works, then won't do anything

11:20pm on 5/21/26 by Apeery

Sorry, have you tried putting it in buttered rice?

7:25am by Fatty McButterpants

@apeery, look on your phone at the MB settings. Are the activity settings adjusted how you want them? Could be that the light and vibration functions are off maybe?
