3 days-and I'm panicking about how non panicked I am. ADR's, LL, suitcases packed, everyone healthy...it's like all too perfect. Anyone else freak out about not being freaked out? This is weird...

8:31pm on 7/5/26 by tiff4fit

Totally. My problem is that I am confident I have it all under control then at 9pm the night before leaving I realize how much I need to do before bed.

8:50pm on 7/5/26 by Jennyhirsch

Totally get it. Just remember you are a Liber and you've got this! And we've got you if anything comes up!!

Is that a liner with a cold?

Has anyone done the Bluey experience at AK lately? Wondering if it is worthwhile for big fans, and how the waits for the train and crowds in the venue have been since it moved from VQ. Thanks!

7:35pm on 7/5/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Following. I looked earlier today around 11-12 and it was only a 10 min wait so I'm hoping it'll be relatively chill when we go in September.

7:40pm on 7/5/26 by HalfBludPrincess

My son and DIL took my granddaughters this week. They said the entire experience only took an hour. Much faster than they'd planned.

9:25pm on 7/5/26 by PixieDustDiva

We went back on Friday the 3rd . I think it was a low CL day . Got the train as we walked in . Walked by all WE & photo cut outs straight to line we got inside right away ( que was in sun) waited thru 2 shows till it was our turn . We loved it littles *

11:46pm on 7/5/26 by burfe1501

All the way thru elementary was interacting with each other and CM and characters . They played different games in 2 of the shows so very nice , around lunch time . We didn't look at outside animals to hot 75/90 minutes total including train

11:50pm on 7/5/26 by burfe1501

I have 3 trips planned. Nov 9-18, Dec 1-10, and Jan 5-14. I have flights, rooms and an AP. I think I only want to do one trip, but am unsure which to pick. Which would you do and why?

My vote is early Dec as well. Holidays in full swing but not crazy yet.

10:59pm on 7/5/26 by njhyndman

I'd pick Dec as I love the Festival of the Holidays

10:59pm on 7/5/26 by HalfBludPrincess

I've done Nov around then twice. Had a hurricane for one of them. Still fun. But FotH & MVMCP are on my list to do - I love the Xmas decorations. I think I'd vote for Dec, even if you're not doing parties.

11:39pm on 7/5/26 by DestinyCalled

Not booking too many ADRs for our Sept trip. Did book a Wailulu Bar & Grill for 6:40 pm for 3 people although there's only 2 of us. Couldn't find any reservations for 2. Will this be a problem when we arrive for our ADR? Thanks!

10:33pm on 7/5/26 by allanmayo

No, you just tell them at the check in desk.

10:44pm on 7/5/26 by Crazycatlady3

Nope, had to do the same thing with my sister this spring

11:05pm on 7/5/26 by KLuck

Can anyone confirm if there is valet laundry service at Pop.

9:36pm on 7/5/26 by JodiF

I dont remember ever seeing a valet form there. Or any other disney hotel for that matter? (Maybe deluxe but even then im not sure)

10:21pm on 7/5/26 by Totsypooh

Never saw anything like that

10:44pm on 7/5/26 by Crazycatlady3

Hey everyone- my family and I recently returned from a DL/National Parks road trip through the southwest. Some folks on the DL side expressed interest in a trip report, so I've posted one in LA Cava. You need to be signed in to view it, I believe...

We are doing a Hawaii (Oahu), World Surf League Lower Trestles and DL on off days trip in Sept. combining a DL trip is definitely worthwhile.

8:27am on 7/5/26 by irenek

SFL! I want to do something like this with my kiddos.

9:38pm on 7/5/26 by skemp

Thanks for the link and the report.

10:00pm on 7/5/26 by JackOfAll

Finally made it to MCO Hyatt, left home more than 33 hours ago. May as well start our Shenkel list. 1. First time one of our bags didn't arrive, lucky I put pjs in my carryon. 2. First stay at MCO Hyatt, convenient with all the delays today.

2:13am on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

collapse thread

"Welcome!" As Epcot music from around the world and firework is heard and seen:)...

6:34am on 6/14/26 by vmorrison63

All shout Hooray! Looking forward to your shenkel.

6:41am on 6/14/26 by Magicalday2011

https://youtube.com/shorts/8rVBHV6yFso?si=Sv4FA_enMYo-McJv I think this everytime I hear welcome home now. ET was the best ride at Uni by far.

8:05am on 6/14/26 by popupcamper

Have a great time!

8:17am on 6/14/26 by goofygrandpa

Thanks all, having a slow start today after our super late arrival last night.

8:55am on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

Welcome back home! How long will your trip be in the bubble? Maybe our paths will cross:) we are in the bubble starting 6/27

9:29am on 6/14/26 by IMarriedMyEllie

Woohoo!

9:56am on 6/14/26 by JJT (staff)

Welcome home! Sorry about the luggage- hoping you get it soon! May the rest of your trip be smooth!

11:22am on 6/14/26 by Tinkerminnie

Welcome home! Can't wait to follow your trip!

11:42am on 6/14/26 by MicheleandtheBeast

@IMarriedMyEllie we will still be here then, we fly home on the 3rd.

12:33pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

@Tinker luckily we have an owners locker and my Amazon sunscreen delivery just arrived, so I'll be fine.

12:36pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

Are you going to any of the World Cup matches? Have a great trip! Will miss you by 70 days :)

3:25pm on 6/14/26 by jules_fletch

No we're not going to any of the games @jules. Maybe we'll catch up with you next time.

4:20pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

3. First stay at POFQ and in fact any moderate, such a nice resort and the CMs are lovely. 4. Beignets, nice but filling. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZlv5cykbLEvzPXb2Jx6Dd5FRtRwtpk9i7l0aU0/?igsh=MXVtcjN2eDN6aml4YQ==

10:34pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

Looks promising for suitcase arrival tomorrow.

10:35pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

5. Muppets RnRC, I liked it. 6. Boatwrights, really good food, mediocre drinks. 7. Scat Cat's, also not the best drinks sadly but our server was nice. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZoHarwEY4JywQbUG6xk3CUbef2HWUmRfT1dZM0/?igsh=ZHV4b2RxdThhOHF3

8:37pm on 6/15/26 by LandDownUnder

Also, my suitcase arrived today which was exciting.

8:39pm on 6/15/26 by LandDownUnder

You can can fill it with beignets for the trip home now!

8:51pm on 6/15/26 by JJT (staff)

No doubt we'll manage to fill it with all sorts of goodies. We have a full carryon of Aussie chocolates, alcohol and other treats for friends we catch up with while we're here, which gives us lots of space for purchases!

9:32pm on 6/15/26 by LandDownUnder

So glad you got your luggage! I haven't visited Scat Cat in years, shame the drinks weren't great. I feel like some lounges don't have the variety anymore. We are here till Saturday. Maybe we can catch up again.

6:33am on 6/16/26 by youcanfly

@youcanfly, that would be fun.

6:14pm on 6/16/26 by LandDownUnder

The chocolate martini was fab back in December. If you drop into Scat Cat again - give it a try!

7:46pm on 6/16/26 by gatomiller

8. Wolfgang Puck, really good bruschetta and nice drinks. Also did the new Buzz and BTMR, both fun improvements. Lots of places effected by power outage at DS. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZrBl0yjTkZxDkwfGDNnTgJWHa_3qazvfxWlWs0/?igsh=NWtiY2drb2QwYzhl

11:47pm on 6/16/26 by LandDownUnder

That popup rain was intense with lightning! We were running to get to CR. Took a while for monorail and smaller boats like the one for CR/WL to start back. Tonight we have a whiskey tasting & dinner thing at Polite Pig and trying to do the 1am MK closing

9:47am on 6/17/26 by youcanfly

We were lucky we were in our room getting ready to go to DS when the storm started so we just waited it out. We'll be at HS AH tonight. Enjoy Polite Pig, we keep meaning to try it but haven't got there yet.

10:19am on 6/17/26 by LandDownUnder

Thanks, yall have fun. I've booked the last HS AH in September. Look forward to hearing how it goes. For the price for this thing tonight at PP i hope it's fantastic.

10:40am on 6/17/26 by youcanfly

9. Gaston's tavern, not sure why we've never made it there before, was a good place to cool off. HS after hours was good last night too. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZwLLBdjSIgmtMWi-wR3pg1nUtTVHEW72--cX00/?igsh=ZDl3ejFraXR2NjV6

11:43pm on 6/18/26 by LandDownUnder

10. GEO-82, expensive but really good food and drinks. 11. Martha's Vineyard, decent. Moved to BWV yesterday and ran into @youcanfly and her DH. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ1MIbrEZtGIty6idto2NWKuryjGaQwCPLdtwA0/?igsh=MWJobTZ5b2phYWRlag==

10:32pm on 6/20/26 by LandDownUnder

No pic of @youcan but I spy @LT!

9:17am on 6/21/26 by evamarie320

I rarely remember to get a pic with @youcan. We had fun hanging out with @LT.

10:47am on 6/21/26 by LandDownUnder

Yes, I completely forgot too. I hadn't seen @LT in years so it was nice to see your pictures.

4:24pm on 6/21/26 by youcanfly

12. AP lounge in Epcot, great place to escape the heat. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ6aPISkX7pyhpgFBDOkqbaZ39rYYyLqr-Kj0w0/?igsh=MWI0M3JxbzQ1dWNoNg==

11:07pm on 6/22/26 by LandDownUnder

13. Cake Bake Shop, really good chicken soup. 14. Jambo grand villa, amazing! https://www.instagram.com/p/DaAqyZrESG8dBwJEPvcAhshQjkcwUvjHuAsrrc0/?igsh=OGo0YTg0ZzRtMWZs

9:27am on 6/25/26 by LandDownUnder

Enjoy that Grand Villa!

9:29am on 6/25/26 by youcanfly

Oh cool you met up with...twinkle toes? I can't remember her liner name. Famous for high heels in park, baking macarons, and joining Club33. Enjoy!

9:54am on 6/25/26 by evamarie320

@eva yep she's @ladysparkleshoes

1:35pm on 6/25/26 by LandDownUnder

You booked a grand villa with just the 2 of you? Or pixie dust cos you're special? They are so gorgeous

5:12pm on 6/26/26 by hodg

As the lovely Quantus castmembers said to us after we missed our flight from Sydney en route to Canberra, "No worries, mate!" Welcome and have a wonderful time!!!

5:47pm on 6/26/26 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

@hodg we booked it and have friends staying with us. There are 5 of us here for 4 nights.

11:46pm on 6/26/26 by LandDownUnder

That's fantastic! Enjoy

4:59am on 6/27/26 by hodg

Not sure we've done anything new in the last few days but we've had lots of fun. Cracker of a storm this evening. https://www.instagram.com/p/DaHVxmOjet_8fOMeTyMsI47r9uFFoiVzNnJl_g0/?igsh=MXQ1a2EwZWF5czZ1bQ==

11:37pm on 6/27/26 by LandDownUnder

Love the AK t shirts

5:29am on 6/28/26 by hodg

15. Got walked off Toy Story Mania, not the most exciting evacuation. Tried again later and the last game didn't work at all. Gave up after that, just not our day for that ride.

16. Saratoga Springs, nice room and paddock location is good. 17. Artist's Palette, not bad quick service. https://www.instagram.com/p/DaMVifdkVAj-fNZXhoH4cEQK0EDcEi1_acS0eA0/?igsh=ZWUyNDZxZnptbHA3

10:18pm on 6/29/26 by LandDownUnder

18. Polite Pig, pretty good. I'm sure there were other Shenkel list items this trip but I can't think what they were. https://www.instagram.com/p/DabvftbExEBLjKJb5zUKkkdhZDBb4O2ndQr8JE0/?igsh=MThjNWo3c3dkNGEyMA==

9:51pm on 7/5/26 by LandDownUnder

Another fun trip done, made it home after 30 something hours of travel, minus a suitcase for the second time this trip, crazy. We got it back quickly this time which was nice.

9:53pm on 7/5/26 by LandDownUnder

We moved over to Saratoga today and just came back from picking up dinner at DS. There was a CM at the start of the Saratoga walkway after the bridge checking bands to make sure we were staying on property. They were not there when we walked over.

Wow ... this is a very interesting development thx for sharing.

9:11pm on 7/5/26 by VikeQueen

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I am glad they are restricting access (even if only for short periods). As a DVC owner I am tired of reading the advice to "park at DS and take the SSR bus" Those busses can be so crowded!

9:20pm on 7/5/26 by KLuck

Tikiman posted grand Floridian guests were being stopped on walkway back from poly. And they have GF reservations.

9:33pm on 7/5/26 by snelvis

Emma was at AK today. She texted at 5:18 (park close was 6:00) that FOP had a 25 minute wait. After riding FOP she went on KS and had a personal tour. Three people on the truck. Emma, her friend, and the driver. Is there a crowd level lower than 1?

Awesome!!!

8:43pm on 7/5/26 by jbreen25

I love that. She will always remember that!

8:49pm on 7/5/26 by Jennyhirsch

Oh that sounds amazing! AK is always great, but an empty AK is next level!!

9:32pm on 7/5/26 by njhyndman

FINALLY got the long awaited "go ahead pay it off and we will go" confirmation from DH. ADRs are set, payment being made tomorrow and we are officially going to WDW in 44 days! I bought a scavenger hunt from Etsy to tell the kids (DD7 and DS4)

Also- the year we did a surprise, DS's 5 &7 we surprised them the evening of that we were headed to the airport hotel and next day flying out. They LOVED it. I think shorter is better

8:28pm on 7/5/26 by tiff4fit

We surprised kids once. Never again. Don't get me wrong; they were happy and had a ball, but it felt like it was over before it began. The planning and being excited, anticipation part was nonexistent.

8:52pm on 7/5/26 by Jennyhirsch

The littler the kid the more last minute I'd tell them. But for older kids who can help in some planning I'd give them at least a month to help. But you know your kids best: some do well with surprises. Done need time to adjust.
