Here's a new one. Sitting in hub to save spots for DS's GF & her fam. But sadly a teen cousin sick to stomach. Waiting for DS to text and will escort sick teen to TTC and he will take her home. What are odds he can talk his way thru gate at CR instead?

I read... sitting in hot tub, saving spot for DS, and then cousin got sick. Time for new glasses.

What is the gate at CR?

11:03pm on 3/7/26 by imfluffy

Ha. Should have been guard, not gate.

Just curious has anyone heard anything about WDW reducing AP prices? DFB posted it might happen when JD takes over. Have several work conferences and a planned vacay so really want an AP :)

7:55pm on 3/7/26 by 321itsme

Right now FL residents can get 1/2 off the down payment for new APs on the payment plan. That's $100 off, so not nothing. I wonder if that indicates more savings to come.

Does Premiere Pass cross over parks or is it only per park per day?

6:43pm on 3/7/26 by jeanne771

Only covers one park. Multi pass can hop for no additional charge, but not premier pass.

6:52pm on 3/7/26 by TumbleMonkeys

One park per purchase. I don't know if you could hypothetically buy it for more than one park in a day, though.

6:56pm on 3/7/26 by utang44

That's too bad but I get it. In CA the premier pass is good for both DCA and Disneyland

Aloha Everyone! We are headed to Aulani for the first time this summer and looking for what are must dos that require reservations around the resort, or near by. Girls are 6 and 4. Also, it appears painted sky is changing package service soon?

It's been awhile since we've been with younger kids, I think you do book time at the kids club (Aunty's Beach House) ahead of time as well. The menehune adventure scavenger hunt type activity is really fun for kids too.

6:28pm on 3/7/26 by njhyndman

The luau books up quickly.

9:43pm on 3/7/26 by heathernoel

Luau! Your girls will love it!!

10:59pm on 3/7/26 by imfluffy

Best nontraditional MK fireworks view inside or outside MK? Friends will be at MK that day but are not interested in the Main Steet crowd...we typically prefer behind the castle. They are considering a nearby restaurant. Mid May trip.

Gaston's Tavern area. Never crowded. Did it last night

1:42pm on 3/5/26 by h2olly

Also at GF. In front of Gasparilla Island d Grill. They pipe in the music. That is just a lovely spot to watch. Not too crowded usually

1:47pm on 3/5/26 by h2olly

Following b/c I was going to ask a similar question for July 4! Have read Wailulu has a good view if you can get a reservation, but haven't experienced it myself.

1:55pm on 3/5/26 by ferbtones

We've also watched by Gaston's. Two weeks ago, I was going to watch by Sleepy Hollow and stay there for 2nd Starlight per @Jenny's rec. There was a bench available outside of HoP so we took that instead. Great view of fireworks from the Liberty Bell.

1:56pm on 3/5/26 by GoGreenGoWhite

We've also watched fireworks back by Gaston's/Little Mermaid. There was a photo pass photographer there, so we got the coolest photos of our family with the fireworks overhead. Also, by Dumbo there are some nice spots to sit and watch.

2:39pm on 3/5/26 by WDWchipndale

Also, we love to ride Thunder Mountain several times in a row during fireworks when lines are low (we usually visit on off peak times).

2:41pm on 3/5/26 by WDWchipndale

I like to watch from near Dumbo.

2:46pm on 3/5/26 by Sorcerers_Apprentice

We stood behind the castle last night. It was an amazing way to see the fireworks with some directly overhead.

3:45pm on 3/5/26 by Button

Near liberty there's the stocks. If facing them on the left the garden wall is a great place to sit for fireworks and parade. They tape directly in front of the wall so no one will be able to get in front of you

3:53pm on 3/5/26 by youcanfly

Outside Be Our Guest Restaurant or Rapunzel bathrooms!

4:57pm on 3/5/26 by Eemoore79

We've watched from in front of Crystal Palace. During CL7ish times it is not crowded. Can't see projections too well but great for FW. Exit area of BTMRR also great. View of castle with FW reflections. Altho with water gone not sure if it will be as good

9:23am on 3/6/26 by evamarie320

Near dumbo. I like gasparilla but we were there once and a wedding couple(just the couple) were roped off (their guests were outside the rope) watching and you couldn't get to the patio area. I've seen other private parties there too. Narcoossee is nice

Guess I got lucky when I was staying there irenek. There are lots of weddings there so that area must be roped off quite a bit then.

9:51pm on 3/7/26 by h2olly

We watched from the ferry dock at TTC once too. They piped in sound.

10:39pm on 3/7/26 by snowdiz

Swiss family treehouse!!! Lots of tree blockages but a few decent spots and a fun new angle!

10:58pm on 3/7/26 by imfluffy

LINER BRUNCH! April 17 at 10 am at Olivia's at Old Key West. We currently have reservations for 18.

I'll be there and will play Uber for @Tash and her DHc.

5:25pm on 2/17/26 by snowdiz

Hooray I found the new chat... and Hooray @Snow thank you for being our Uber (first drink on us ;-))

6:13am on 2/19/26 by TashToo

Also, 4 spots open for the Liner MK FW cruise 4/18.

11:19am on 2/19/26 by trishr.

Maybe

5:27am on 2/27/26 by WorldTraveler34

@world, I'd love to meet you in real life. Hope you can come!

9:32am on 2/27/26 by popupcamper

Cruise is 4.17 - I'm really trying to take two of these spots. Lol!

9:44am on 2/27/26 by popupcamper

I'm taking two spots, so there's two openings for the fireworks cruise.

10:07am on 2/27/26 by popupcamper

Hooray, @popup! I'm still hoping to make this trip happen.

11:24am on 2/27/26 by utang44

I hope so @ utang, let's ride together for the fireworks too if you're able to make it.

11:25am on 2/27/26 by popupcamper

Who else is in? @deMac, @imfluffy, @phil, @trishr, @jenny, @weausu, @tashtoo. I'm missing someone.

11:36am on 2/27/26 by popupcamper

I had @snow in my head but should have included her in my list.

11:36am on 2/27/26 by popupcamper

Current list: @popup plus 1, @trishr plus 1, @jeny, @snow, @weasus, @tashtoo plus 1, @utang, @phil plus 2. @imfluffy, @demac. Possibly @world.

11:40am on 2/27/26 by popupcamper

@snowdiz plus one for cruise.

4:20pm on 2/27/26 by snowdiz

So many lists! I think the last list of @popup's is for brunch. Not sure of cruise list, but I think the Magic family will be away on a plane home!

5:47pm on 2/27/26 by Jennyhirsch

Hoping @utang sees this. I had to cancel the MK FW cruise.

12:06pm on 3/7/26 by trishr.

Bumping for @imfluffy.

2:44pm on 3/7/26 by popupcamper

Wish I could but I can't afford 2 Disney trips in one month. I'm going to Disney land April 30th

I see it. Thanks, too, for @tumble messaging me on IG. Still very much hoping for this trip to happen, but having to take life a day at a time at this point.

5:35pm on 3/7/26 by utang44

Thinking of you, @utang!

6:47pm on 3/7/26 by TumbleMonkeys

@pop thank you for the bump!!

10:27pm on 3/7/26 by imfluffy

It's our first time flying as a group of 4 late summer. Best transport from MCO to OKW? And what's the best way to get from Port Canaveral to MCO? Thanks!

3:48pm on 3/7/26 by ejhnstn

Bumping for info

10:18pm on 3/7/26 by NYGIANTMickeyFan

If it's a Disney cruise we use Disney transportation.

10:20pm on 3/7/26 by JenniferB1975

Do Four Seasons guest purchase LLMP at 3 days or 7 days? Conflicting info found online.

8:24pm on 3/7/26 by jeanne771

I think 3 days. They're not on the list here https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/lightning-lane-passes/#drawer-card-DrawerWhenToPurchaseLL or here https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/resorts/resort-hotel-list/ .

10:03pm on 3/7/26 by mkmuzzy

Can this factor in a DAS pass usage?

5:28pm on 3/7/26 by annadstone

Glad to help, but I don't understand your question.

6:24pm on 3/7/26 by Ali Ababwa

Yes, you can configure a Touring Plan with a DAS pass.

6:45pm on 3/7/26 by melcort10

You'll have to add each LL into the plan as you get them, as you go thru the day. Edit the plan to use your LL time, no matter what, so it keeps the time you have and not try to tell you that you don't need it

6:57pm on 3/7/26 by cdlla

With DAS you really do not need a plan.

9:45pm on 3/7/26 by JackOfAll

NDR: we are headed to NYC for spring break. I have a theatre kid and a music kid so we are seeing several shows on Bway (including Daniel Radcliffe in "Every Brilliant Thing"). Any recommendations for restaurants near Times Sqr?

5:55am on 3/5/26 by shockbl

collapse thread

Or any restaurants in other locales that you would not miss?

5:56am on 3/5/26 by shockbl

Not near Times Square, but we never miss going to Taverna di Bacco an Italian restaurant on Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side. So good!

8:19am on 3/5/26 by BraveDisgrrl

I'm a tourist but I think John's pizza in a church in Times Square is cool.

8:22am on 3/5/26 by TumbleMonkeys

We also like Joe Allen's in the theater district.

8:22am on 3/5/26 by BraveDisgrrl

With teens I'd do The Elgin. A pub with good food and nice atmosphere. With just adults ai like Aldo Sohm Wine Bar.

8:50am on 3/5/26 by evamarie320

It's touristy, but we live Junior's on 45th. The food is good, the cheesecake is delicious (share mains, get your own cheesecake). We also like Max Brenner, it's on Broadway, but downtown, near Union Square.

11:07am on 3/5/26 by NYGIANTMickeyFan

Another vote for Juniors!

11:09am on 3/5/26 by HakunaMatata93

We did the Elgin- was good but very loud for hard of hearing in-laws

11:11am on 3/5/26 by hodg

Other place we took in-laws was Ellen's Stardust diner- totally touristy & average food really but a fun place to go. Prefer bfast there really. Poss not great pre show tho as you have to wait in line to get in.

2:16pm on 3/5/26 by hodg

We love Juniors!

6:55pm on 3/5/26 by ejhnstn

You can't go wrong with NYC diner food. We found a little hole in the wall diner in Hell's Kitchen that had incredible French toast with cream cheese and fruit.

8:57pm on 3/5/26 by torgo1

Had amazing Korean! A kid I coached 25 years ago is a part owner! Seoul Bap 55 W 27th St (Btw 6th and b'way)

5:18am on 3/6/26 by IMarriedMyEllie

I'm hearing lots of great things about the Daniel Radcliffe show! Make sure you go really early- he comes out into the audience beforehand!!

5:19am on 3/6/26 by hauntedmansionnurse

So cool.

6:48am on 3/6/26 by hodg

A few weeks ago we stayed on 49th street and there was always a line to get into Ichiran Ramen (49th st near 7th ave). I assume it must be great. And small. But I haven't eaten there. Or maybe it's just a TikTok sensation.

9:18am on 3/6/26 by evamarie320

Juniors!

10:22am on 3/6/26 by hookiegood

A tip from someone here a while back (I asked a similar question re: pizza)....just find and follow construction workers. They know the best pizza/diners in town!!

2:52pm on 3/6/26 by hlbyers

Following!!

5:12pm on 3/6/26 by SplitStayfortheWin

Becco on W 46th. Nice Italian place owned by Lydia Bastianich. Ate there recently when seeing Hamilton.

6:32pm on 3/6/26 by allanmayo

When I used to audition in New York, Marseille in Hell's Kitchen was also a go to for French. It's been there for decades and is a really good brassiere. On the corner of 9th Ave and W 44th.

6:38pm on 3/6/26 by allanmayo

I ate at Mermaid Oyster Bar yesterday before watching a show. i liked it! Also if you feel like good dimsum for a change try Tim Ho Wan. Or if you can snag a reservation Din Tai Fung is excellent. My kids would say Olive Garden Times Square. (Not kidding)

9:19pm on 3/6/26 by Totsypooh
