International guests - are you having issues getting payment accepted for laundry? I'm reading this is an issue whether paying directly, through app or Apple Pay. I had it work last year so have some funds on the csc app left, but prob not enough

For international guests who want to do laundry, have two options. The airport has 'Ready Station' kiosks. Put in cash and it spits out a prepaid card. Also asked our grocery delivery company to get a prepaid visa. Both worked for adding funds.

This gets around the international card issue until they upgrade to the new system everywhere. None of my credit/debit cards work for the CSC Go system and they are obviously fine for everything else

There was a forum query on this fairly recently. We didn't use laundry at wdw as were in dvc studio. My regular CC worked fine at PBH.

"What's cookin'?" Since I made too much chicken, I'm making Chicken nachos! Plenty of cheese, black beans, tomatoes, onions and jalapenos. I have a new spicy salsa to try. Share your dinner ideas!

Did someone say IKEA?

I bowed my head for a moment in silent reflection @trishr.

Do you guys have the Inspire credit card? I see it has a $149 annual fee. Is it worth it? I have the regular Disney Visa but if I could save more than the annual fee I might get it.

Oops! I knew what I meant, LOL.

I played the credit card games. Coming home from vacation to many thousands of dollars credit card bills is exhausting. Sure, I got a free whatever, but paying on debit it so much easier. AA credit card is all I use now without a fee.

I'm also curious about it the card. It says 10% off at select locations on select merchandise. Does anyone know how many places it applies to?

Just watched the Sam Eagle sketch about enjoying July 4th at Disneyland. It made me really miss Great Moments in American History. It was one of my fave live shows at Magic Kingdom. What is something that is gone that you really miss?

I loved it too yes

159 days until our OKW Grand Villa. Good morning Liner friends! How many days until you are back and what is your hotel/resort of choice?
5:35am on 6/30/26 by
72 til we're at OKW for the night before HOTHS! Resort of choice: poly, we've never stayed there.
7:27pm on 6/30/26 by
153 days until CSR!
7:31pm on 6/30/26 by
Three days to one solo day. 17 to first stay at Coronado.

I've not had much luck historically getting a Minnie Van after park close. Is it possible? Trying to transport from HS after F! to Poly. Five people with one booster. Any options that are not the bus?
7:51pm on 6/30/26 by
I don't know but can you pre-reserve?
8:05pm on 6/30/26 by
We ordered a Minnie van after Epcot close once but walked to Beach Club. As I recall the wait wasn't terrible and the ride to OKW was quick and easy. I don't think you can reserve them ahead of time, but it would be a nice feature.
8:38pm on 6/30/26 by
I hadn't thought of relocating from the main gate @remember! We'd probably be glad to walk anywhere else.
11:00pm on 6/30/26 by
I thought in order to try get the mermaid room at CBR I had to book the 5th sleeper category. I do not see that as an option no matter what dates I put. The only options are standard, preferred, or king. Am I doing something wrong or did something change?
10:22pm on 6/30/26 by
I'm taking my mom to the world in October, she has some mobility issues, some issues with balance and getting disoriented. I'm open to any advice anyone has
7:06pm on 6/29/26 by
Ooh a lifesize remote controlled car w mum as passenger. What could go wrong?!
3:49pm on 6/30/26 by
Game changer for many. Great advice and suggestion @Jenny!
6:38pm on 6/30/26 by
@Jenny I never knew these existed. Game changer for us if grandparents go again. Thanks you!

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?
8:59pm on 6/30/26 by
We only ever buy LL if we're showing the place off to newbies. On our own, we sleep in, pool time, parks around 2pm for the evening. We've been so many times that if the lines are too long we just move on. We also go for 10 days so there's no rush.
9:14pm on 6/30/26 by
Depends. When it's just DH and I we like a slower pace and like @hmn says above we can skip things if line is too long. But when we have others with us we are more likely to do LLs and RD.
9:32pm on 6/30/26 by
I'll buy LL even if just 2 of us but only once or twice during a trip. We just got back on the 20th and only got LL once but it was MK and wanted to do everything
9:34pm on 6/30/26 by
We buy LLs every day we're in a park. Arrival day usually excluded, but I bought them for my arrival day on my solo trip. We still go slow and do what we want while enjoying reduced wait time for the rides we choose. But I don't find LLs stressful.

So what's the best strategy for watching the fireworks on July 3rd if your staying on property, but not going into a park. I know the beach at fort wilderness is a good spot, but it's a lot of work to get there.
8:53pm on 6/30/26 by
The Grand Floridian or Poly beaches are easier being on the monorail line. We've gone there in the past, but not sure if they'll police it for non resort guests this year.
9:16pm on 6/30/26 by
Reservation at Cali Grill would be my choice. But an ADR at any monorail hotel will get you in to park. Or take WDW trans. Eat early and then find a spot (in front of Gasparilla Grill, at Poly beach, at TTC ferry dock, 4th floor balcony at CR).
9:28pm on 6/30/26 by
Do they restrict FW on July 3rd? Or just the 4th? I plan to watch from GF by the boat dock but also staying there. This is a bucket list event for me!
