I am going to waterparks two days on our trip. (Check in day and as park of a bonus for convention ticket). Is there any way to designate to the CM when we enter the water park which should be used? Obviously the check in day has to be used on check in.

Timing question. I have an ADR at VN at 5pm. We want to go to MK after (EEH). We will have a car at BC. Obviously BC is an option as is monorail. What mode of transportation should we use and what time should we expect to be at MK? TIA!

4:55pm on 5/10/26 by QueenElinor

collapse thread

I would monorail over to avoid parking at TTC

4:59pm on 5/10/26 by cobia

I'd go back to BC and hop the bus to MK since you'll be at the back of Epcot. That avoids parking and the long walk to the front.

5:01pm on 5/10/26 by utang44

If you can walk quick I'd do the monorail. Bus is less walking. Agree to avoid ttc

5:02pm on 5/10/26 by hodg

Tend to expect an hour to get anywhere distant on property. So timing depends how fast you can eat pizza :-)

5:02pm on 5/10/26 by hodg

How fast is seating and service there? We eat pretty fast but we haven't eaten there before so I am not sure what to expect

5:42pm on 5/10/26 by QueenElinor

On Thursday we checked in on time for a 6pm adr, had to wait a few mins for table, no appetisers, pizza on table at 6.40pm

6:17pm on 5/10/26 by hodg

Thanks!

9:01pm on 5/10/26 by QueenElinor

Hmm. Per the directions in MDE, it is very close distance-wise from VN to BC vs VN to the monorail; they're within one min of each other. I'd walk to the front of EP; the monorail will be faster than the bus, and you'll skip going thru security again.

9:52pm on 5/10/26 by JERancher

I hadn't thought about security. That's a good point.

10:47am on 5/11/26 by QueenElinor

Is your car at BC bc you are staying there or bc you have an earlier ADR there? If you are returning to the car after MK close to go to dif resort for sleep, I'd skip VN and eat at GFC or something, to be closer to MK at end of night.

10:58am on 5/11/26 by Jennyhirsch

My mental timing (and be happy if faster vs stressed if slower) would be check in at VN at 5, leave VN at 7, arrive MK tapstiles at 8:00- 8:20, regardless of monorail or bus from BC.

11:00am on 5/11/26 by Jennyhirsch

That's a conservative estimate, I think. I think I would take BC bus, bc if you do monorail, you have 2 wait times, one monorail at EP and 1 for monorail at TTC. At BC it's 1 wait for the bus.

11:03am on 5/11/26 by Jennyhirsch

I don't think VN has ever taken us more than an hour!

1:01pm on 5/11/26 by rickelwoman

If you want to be finishing as early as possible, I'd arrive just a little early. Sometimes they will seat you early.

1:02pm on 5/11/26 by rickelwoman

Maybe the earlier time slot is prompt? Our 7pm seating for a party of 6 once took 30 min to get seated, food came slow, and check came slow. So it was a bummer. But also it was table for 6, so maybe that was it.

1:49pm on 5/11/26 by Jennyhirsch

@jenny yeah, I am sure there are times it is slow so you are right to not fully count on it! We have had late lunch or early dinner reservations at VN quite a few times and it has always been quick! But it's definitely not a guarantee. We are 4.

1:52pm on 5/11/26 by rickelwoman

The easiest would definitely be monorail

5:02pm on 5/11/26 by goofygrandpa

We are staying at BC. We are a party of 8. I have We been trying for an earlier reservation but I think it is unlikely. This was the only date and time I could get. I had really wanted it the night before.

9:18pm on 5/11/26 by QueenElinor

I am working my plan around our being done at 6:30. Then heading to MK. Teens and middle aged folks so I think we will make it to midnight. I just want to LL a couple things before EEH starts.

9:21pm on 5/11/26 by QueenElinor

Try it! With teens, they can always leave early while you pay bill, too, if time is at premium. Also, arrive 15 min early and be ready to place entire order when you are seated. Make sure everyone knows what they want!

30 min ago by Jennyhirsch

My day to choose LL is coming on 5/21 and I just found my mom is having surgery that day. It's possible I'll be able to hop on at 7 but if I get delayed, how fast do you think the LL run out on things like RnR, TSM, FEA, etc.? Another ? in comments.

6:57am by Magicalday2011

We've had LLs refunded due to sickness or, as DD explained to CM, "my mom overdid it." Ha. Call and explain before the LL times though. Dont wait till day is over. LLs will not transfer. Gotta rebook.

I enjoyed it. Lots of talent on that stage. Missed making it to villains by literally 10 seconds so had a long wait for that but I'm in now. Used my extra time to eat a Mickey bar :)

5:02pm on 5/11/26 by VikeQueen

The villain show is highly underrated. That was so much fun !

5:42pm on 5/11/26 by VikeQueen

Loved the villain show!!!!

6:25pm on 5/11/26 by Gusgus5

I'm so excited to follow along on your solo trip! And so true about the Villains Show, we love it!

6:49pm on 5/11/26 by youcanfly

Just finished the frozen sing along. Which is also very cute but my young adult sons would hate it LOL. Waiting in line for the mermaid show. Not sure if I'm going to try to do an actual ride after this or call it a day. I'm tired after flying in today

7:08pm on 5/11/26 by VikeQueen

What a great trip! Enjoy! (I finally saw Frozen Dingalong when we brought DS26's gf a few years ago. While DH and DS did E ticket rides, she and I did fun stuff I don't usually get to do.

7:19pm on 5/11/26 by evamarie320

Fun stuff with the Dingalong. Sounds like a great trip @eva :)

7:47pm on 5/11/26 by cdlla

The Dingalong! My new favorite show name!

7:52pm on 5/11/26 by Jennyhirsch

I did enjoy the dingalong! But the little mermaid ... not so much. That was by far the worst of the 4 shows I saw today IMO. Too tired to stay and do more tonight. I didn't even unpack yet. AK tomorrow !

8:08pm on 5/11/26 by VikeQueen

Following along, going back solo in about 40 days while DD is at camp! I'm not telling her.

9:12pm on 5/11/26 by Ali Ababwa

The best seats at the Dingalong are front left when they have ASL performers who are actually better than the characters on stage. I was fascinated.

9:15pm on 5/11/26 by Ali Ababwa

Oh my. That's a funny typo.

Do you buy lightning lanes everyday of your trip? How do you pick and choose ? Hollywood for sure , ak only if you hop. If you only buy some days of your trip, do you like having it early on in the trip or later? Later = earlier time advantage but

10:15am on 5/11/26 by RileysBirthday

collapse thread

But during a trip do you like lightning first and then casual , or casual first and save lightning for later in the trip?

10:16am on 5/11/26 by RileysBirthday

Depends on how long the trip is. If it's just a couple days I buy LL every day. If it's a week or more I might just do MGM and MK toward the end of the trip

10:27am on 5/11/26 by RememberWhen

We buy LLs for every day. My husband has mental health issues and doesn't have the patience to wait in line and we both have back and knee issues. So we buy for full length of trip, even though our trips are long.

10:30am on 5/11/26 by nitsaki

We always buy GOTG. We also buy on AK day because it's the cheapest & then we use it to park hop. We also have AP's & if lines are long we just don't ride.

11:30am on 5/11/26 by Kimluvsdisney

Every day, every trip including arrival day.

12:01pm on 5/11/26 by popupcamper

We did not use LL at all this last time we got to go :-) Very enjoyable trip

1:18pm on 5/11/26 by DeeMac

I almost always do MP, but getting more selective about SP. I'm also willing to skip MP for a party day at MK. We rope drop and make a solid TP for the morning and hardly wait for anything. But we also move real fast and aren't trying to do it all.

1:56pm on 5/11/26 by rickelwoman

Yep, LLMP every day we're going to a park, no matter the CL. We don't always have LLSP. Most of the SP rides are just one per trip; GOTG is the exception because I ride it every time I'm in Epcot.

2:00pm on 5/11/26 by utang44

I buy it for every park day, I hate waiting. Try to do at least one early to unlock if I'm doing a full park day. Often I'm there for a conference so some days just going to the parks in the afternoon and I'll try stacking (zombie stacking).

2:02pm on 5/11/26 by njhyndman

It really depends on my focus. Sometimes I'm all about the rides and LLs are importabr. Other times I'm more atmosphere focused and LLs don't matter as much.

3:55pm on 5/11/26 by evamarie320

Never for AK it's a half park go in the evening for lower crowds. I try not to buy it at all. But sometimes I spurge depends on budget and people with me and weather.

4:56pm on 5/11/26 by WorldTraveler34

Everyday, every park always for us too!

5:00pm on 5/11/26 by goofygrandpa

Usually a mix of days with MP. When we PH, we do. For longer trip, we usually get for a day @ MK & a day @ HS. I love/hate them. I'm "good" at maximizing, but then I spend the entire day with my face in my phone & that's not the best experience.

5:03pm on 5/11/26 by DestinyCalled

Can't afford PP, especially w/ large extended fam. There may be 13 of us for next big trip, & grandparents are slowing down... and so am I. Trying to enjoy the vibes. LOL

5:04pm on 5/11/26 by DestinyCalled

Every park, every day

5:20pm on 5/11/26 by cdlla

It totally depends upon the time of year and the length of the trip for me. For longer solo trips, I only buy LLs if I'm doing at least three parks in a day; otherwise I RD and do my top favorites and then leave. If it's a busier time of year and I'm...

5:46pm on 5/11/26 by JERancher

...with my kids, I usually buy MP for HS and MK. We usually eke by without it for AK, and sometimes for EP (esp if RDing IG, or skipping Remy). Kids don't love any SP attractions other than Rise, so that makes things easier too.

5:48pm on 5/11/26 by JERancher

Every day every park

8:06pm on 5/11/26 by JackOfAll

Every day, every park.But, I might buy PP one day at MK this summer, and not buy LLMP the second day and do CRT, the shows, a more leisurely day. Hopefully crowds will be low. I have never gone without LL, so we will see if my type A personality can do it

8:34pm on 5/11/26 by Chrissy-T

We do it everyday. We typically go every other year, so we like to ride as much as we can.

9:02pm on 5/11/26 by WendyMarie

Every day. It's worth it to us to avoid lines.

9:33pm on 5/11/26 by wdw ocd

We do it every ride heavy day. Maybe one day per park per trip. But thats bec im trying not to blow up the budget and our trips are long. And we dont need to do all the things anymore. We use single rider and do chill faves like COP and PM :)

9:38pm on 5/11/26 by Totsypooh

But when we have guests, then yes, every park day. Thats what i recommend to everyone that asks me for help too

9:39pm on 5/11/26 by Totsypooh

Every park every day is my plan . I will buy GOTG 2 different days and 7d once.

In October when I brought 2 first timers I bought LLs every day. Four days were over $500 for 3 of us. My upcoming solo trip, I might buy 1 day.

6:47am by PrincipalTinker

MK always EPC sometimes. We go in August and don't need it on Party days but I love having the security of not waiting. Walking miles a day is fine, the standing hurts my body.

6:50am by Magicalday2011

^We have been doing 4-5 nights trips. For 7-8 days I would choose LL beginning of trip when most excited and energetic. Relaxed pace at end when more tired is more ambiance for me than rides.

6:53am by Magicalday2011

Does anyone have a rough estimate for an Uber ride from Universal Studios back to All-Stars?? generally speaking

10:07pm on 5/11/26 by rickydiva227

You can put it into the Uber app and check during the time of day you want to see. That's what I usually do.

10:17pm on 5/11/26 by JenniferB1975

Prices do vary however if your asking how long your ride will be about 20-30 plus minus traffic

Has the subscription/renewal price dropped since you can no longer send hotel room requests?

8:19am on 5/9/26 by betsyparks

collapse thread

No. But what I pay is worth every penny. And that was a decision made by Disney and not TP.

8:21am on 5/9/26 by JenniferB1975

You'd probably be better off directing subscription-related questions to the TP team using the Contact link, but the subscription price has not changed.

Welcome to chat! We are other users like you. We can help with trip planning and app usage questions As @utang notes, you might want to direct that type of question to staff.

I will also add that since this was a Disney decision, touring plans has been working on another user friendly method to submit the requests. They just need a couple of weeks.

As far as the renewal price-I look at it in 3 ways: 1. As a contribution to make sure Len maintains the site. 2. As a thank-you for help over the years (priceless), and 3. Access to the chat. I don't use any of the other features but I love the chat.
