Morning Liners. Today is my 60 day dining reservation date. Aren't we supposed to be able to reserve at 6:00 AM eastern time? App still not allowing me to reserve for Feb 7

I'm literally on my way to DL now (in shuttle from LAX) and have not had any problems making reservations for dh and I.

Good to hear @ kluck. Thanks. Have a great trip!

We did DL in Jan 24 & this year during MLK weekend; never had any issues getting dining we wanted. That included Blue Bayou & Trader Sams. Definitely easier to snag reservations, I think.

Did the WDWNT app stop playing music? I used to listen to it, but it seems to always be loading nowadays. Thanks!

Come along with me on my crazy solo trip Liners! Arrived at MCO and now on my way to the Riviera. Looking forward to an evening at Epcot!!

Love a solo trip! So much fun to just do what you want and follow your whims!

Went to Communicore Hall and saw the Gingerbread Spaceship Earth and got a cookie. Then found an OK spot in the UK to watch Luminous. Now in an insane Skyliner line to head back to Riviera.

When will I learn to not rely on Disney transportation. Been in line for the Skyliner for almost 40 min and still not close. Could've walked to Beach Club and gotten a rideshare.

NDR but not completely, since many of us use Instacart for grocery delivery when in the world. It is 20 minutes but mind-blowing. Is this a problem @JJT can solve with a VPN or something??? https://youtu.be/osxr7xSxsGo?si=Z_D5wPi4tPY8HVSW

Algorithm pricing, surveillance pricing, and unfair pricing? Kinda scary, yet very interesting.

Need some suggestions for Disney dining we haven't tried before. Our reservation window opens next week. No character meals unless the food is fantastic. I have some ideas for Disney springs, but need some in park dining ideas. Mom, dad, 3 teens.

I'll second Y&Y plus VN. Are you thinking about dining at resorts with easy access to parks? Topolino's has fantastic views and it's fun to take SL from a park and back
4:18pm on 12/9/25 by
Favorites with my teens are all in Epcot: Via Napoli, San Angel Inn, Spice Road Table (if they are a little adventurous). At resorts - Steakhouse 71 for lunch break outside MK, Boma breakfast, Sebastian's Bistro, Tratoria Al Forno.
5:32pm on 12/9/25 by
I agree with Via Napoli. Awesome pizza and pasta. My teenage nieces also love Sci Fi, 50s PT, Whispering Canyon Cafe. Liberty Tree is a turkey dinner etc so we love that near the end of the trip when we're tired of eating out.
10:10pm on 12/9/25 by
"What's cookin'?" Panko, cheesy, honey mustard chicken, green beans with mushrooms and garlic couscous for dinner tonight. Earlier I made an Apple strudel using a recipe from the Germany pavilion. Time to see what you are having tonight.
4:42pm on 12/9/25 by
Leftovers-meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad.
9:33pm on 12/9/25 by
Mickey pretzel and popcorn!
9:40pm on 12/9/25 by
We had a Canadian Christmas tradition- the Swiss Chalet Festive Special! So good! But I just looked at the Liner cookbook and I'm inspired for tomorrow! Great job everyone who contributed!
10:00pm on 12/9/25 by
Here at the Christmas party and they are saying popcorn bucket already sold out. Wild!
6:42pm on 12/9/25 by
We are here too. Trying to sort it out. Got in line for SDMT and will do late parade over by Tiana because we have an after late parade time at Beak and Barrel. Amy suggestions for best fireworks spot?
7:11pm on 12/9/25 by
Following will be there in about 8ish days
7:30pm on 12/9/25 by
Well we are to the right side facing the castle near the golden statue of Pluto and Goofy. Hopefully it's good. We could see the castle show too

Fav building at CBR? First timers for a quick overnight trip. Going to the resort on arrival day to check in/briefly explore/drop bags then Epcot till close. Then the next day taking a Minnie van to MK for RD. Thinking somewhere in Jamaica but not sure!
2:56pm on 12/9/25 by
Building 55 is my fav but 54 or 56 work too. Walk to skyliner, get Minnie van pickup nearby the next morning - or request golf cart to get you and bags if you're leaving them with BS in the morning.
8:45pm on 12/9/25 by
I can't remember exactly, but some of the buildings that were previously standard are being changed to preferred, including those in Aruba near RR.
9:01pm on 12/9/25 by
Interesting.. can't find info anywhere about changes to standard vs. preferred. We are booked at CBR in Feb and always request Jamaica. Anyone have a link to info??

Any experience with asking for pre boarding help w/elderly? Taking 82/3 yr old grandmas next week. Southwest web says to ask once arriving at airport. Not sure if I should just pay for early bird?? Any experience?
11:44am on 12/9/25 by
We do early boarding to be able to clean seats for allergies: after checking in at a kiosk we'll visit the SW counter & ask to have pre-board added to kids there. They get a new boarding pass. Each pre-boarder can have 1 other person board with them.

Thanks, everyone. I am planning to ask for wheelchair assist when we arrive. I have rented scooters for once we arrive for the week. I will try to call to see if they can add ahead of time.
5:59pm on 12/9/25 by
We use preboard. Ask for a wheelchair if needed but check in at the counter and tell them they are 83 and needs more time to board. 1 person can board with them. Also, if long walks are a problem ask for a wheelchair at any stop overs.
