If I stay on property and purchase LL 7 days in advance, is that just purchasing the service (what I used to call Genie+), or can I actually book a ride at that point as well?

Glad that @sarah knew for sure!

Haven't done this since G+ 7am every day wake ups. But the U.K./overseas issue for this was sorted out. Think we still need a VPN to book any enchanted extras tho- that def included Savis. Can't remember if it's dessert party too.

So if UK guests are staying onsite, we can purchase and book 7 days ahead? It's been 4-5 years, so a few really good rides to check out!

May need to adjust our lightning lanes pending the Bears game next weekend! Best reason to use my liner skills, DH is beyond psyched! We land at MCO 3:37 pm EST...
11:48pm on 1/10/26 by
Can't miss the Bears for sure!

Already thinking about the best place to watch in the Epcot resort area...I think it's possible it'll be on our resort TV

Rix Sports Bar @ CS great place to watch a game!

Skyliner: We only took this once at our 2023 trip and both the lines and the trip were slow. It was pretty but I didn't see it as a legit option for efficient transport but in another thread I'm hearing different. Thoughts on the Skyliner?

What time of year will you be going? When I was at Pop in August it was down more than it was up...
10:05pm on 1/10/26 by
I love it so much but agree I won't stay at a SL resort during hurricane season. And we don't stay for fireworks so for us it works great.
10:29pm on 1/10/26 by
We tried to use it to RD HS from pop and the line was so long (into the 1950s) that we gave up and drove. Maybe if we could have been up even earlier that morning..... But we also used it mid day that trip and it was great then.

We are excited for our trip in 21 das! This trip we will have a 2yr & 3yr old. What are some musts you've packed for them? We pack their lunches and snacks because at that age they re just pickier. Spill proof cups as well. What else?
3:41pm on 1/10/26 by
Exactly @liz! 2nd the battery lights to help with finding a stroller in the dark
4:34pm on 1/10/26 by
Remember NOT to fully pack the stroller until you are through security. (Otherwise you'll be unpacking it again to get on the tram, skyliner, bus...). Keep the stroller stuff in big bag(s) and unpack the contents into the stroller once they security.
9:04pm on 1/10/26 by
Thank you! I love the idea of stroller lights. Thats Magical. And the bag is genius

I don't typically buy lightning lane. Staying offsite end of August. What are the odds of getting decent attractions for 2 17 year olds at 3 days out? Thanks!!

Will prob do a party one night. Kids are requesting sleep ins and parks after sun goes down. I did do mk on a Xmas party day. Amazing! Nothing over 30 minutes that I saw even headliners. Dh waited 22 minutes for tron

If they want to sleep in, absolutely buy LL. It makes touring so much nicer, especially in the heat. That's a low crowd time of year usually, so LL selection should be good, but make sure you're in the know about drop times at HS especially.
8:51am on 1/10/26 by
I looked at how much it would be to stay onsite vs the condo and it's over double. Is it worth it just for the access to lightning lane booking? Did August pre lightning lane days and have no memory of crowds.
11:19pm on 1/10/26 by
NDR..Zion,Grand Canyon, Arches NP...any recommendations? Y'all helped so much a few years ago with our Yellowstone/Teton trip. TIA!!
7:45pm on 7/27/25 by
Agreed on capital reef. A total sleeper, but really amazing.

8:09pm on 1/10/26 by

I'm helping our neice plan 1st trip for her fam DH, DD 4/6. Jan 26-30. My DD is 30 so I'm rusty on planning with kiddos. I'd love to know your favorite tips. I'm also planning to send the girls a gift bag with goodies. Any ideas would be helpful thx
9:19am on 1/10/26 by
I am not sure if they still do this but found it on PlanDisney, "For a complimentary pixie dusting, head over to Sir Mickey's located right behind the castle in Fantasy Land. Ask a Cast Member for some sparkling magic." It used to be at the dress store.
10:31pm on 1/10/26 by
It's a great memory and free:)
10:31pm on 1/10/26 by
Yes autograph books! There was a card game, Eye Found It, that was small enough to pack in a day bag that we'd bring out at meals. There's a disney version we got just for our trips.
10:44pm on 1/10/26 by
"What's cookin'?" DW and I are invited to our friend's house for dinner tonight. Not sure what is on the menu but DW made homemade brownies for dessert. What are your dinner plans?
4:10pm on 1/10/26 by
Meatballs from the freezer (dh is having a sandwich) with broccoli rabe and peppers
6:57pm on 1/10/26 by
@kluck, my rice definitely didn't taste like cardboard tonight! I may have overdone it tho: sauteed garlic and ginger, then rice and turkey broth, then paprika and turmeric. Would probably do garlic ginger and onion next time and maybe citrus.
9:59pm on 1/10/26 by
Chipotle!
10:29pm on 1/10/26 by
The summer deals have me realllly considering a late August trip. We can stack the hotel/ticket deal with the kids eat free deal. I saw it needs to be booked by Feb 15. Does anyone know if that's just the deposit or do you have to pay in full?
9:00pm on 1/9/26 by
I think it depends on where you live. It's just as hot here. I might as well be hot in Disney.
9:56pm on 1/10/26 by
We are from Saskatchewan, Canada lol. So we are used to dry heat. The humidity heat is definitely not something we are used to. But me and DH went mid August once before kids and it was fine so I think with breaks we could do it
10:17pm on 1/10/26 by
Just won't be a rope drop to close day. Kids will need breaks. And us too! Ok will see what's available and cross my fingers!
