Hey guys, have been a little out of the loop lately as ive been neck deep in ski season but a friend as asking me to help plan a trip for spring break. How is BG1 these days? Back to full use? Buggy? Limited?
10:17pm on 3/9/26 by
Sounds like it, @jenny. Should be working normally.
11:11am on 3/10/26 by
The new security that Disney put in place is currently removed/inactive. Disney, of course, could try something else at any time.

That's great to know re BG1- I was still expecting limited function! Hope the skiing is good @totsy- counting down till we go at Easter & hoping the snow lasts. Tho with DH's hip I think will be more limited- I'll have to try to keep up w my DSs instead.

272 days. Good morning Liner friends!

Yes, @hodg, they will pair you up with someone, no worries. DH and DS have played twice and both times were paired with nice guys who were on own.

As far as golf at SoG, they had a blast! Way cool golf carts with a GPS thing on the cart that tells you how far from pin you are etc. So much fun
12:54pm on 3/10/26 by
Hopefully by the time he does come back to wdw he'll be good enough at golf to be ok to link up with someone else- at the moment it's enthusiasm & enjoyment with not much skill I think :-)

Hey gang, WWYP: we're brining some active adult non-Disney friends to WDW first week of December to share Xmas at WDW with them. Lodging options are a) 2BR @ OKW ('renting' a friends points) and b) 2 separate Pop rooms. Prices are about the same.
9:09pm on 3/10/26 by
For non - Disney people I would probably pick OKW. It's a much nicer room. But it's very tough. Will you stay in parks or leave if they need a break?
9:48pm on 3/10/26 by
Are they turkeys?
9:51pm on 3/10/26 by
I'd pick a 2 bedroom at OKW all day long. You still have your own space but have shared space too. It's bigger than my house! Do it.

It has been a long time since planning a trip. We are able to get discounted tickets through my husband's union. Is it really worth it to take the dining plan (we would eat at the same restaurants)? We would save $400 by getting the tickets separately.
7:43pm on 3/10/26 by
Okay, we will check about the fees. It is a school bus drivers union. Thanks!
7:50pm on 3/10/26 by
Also, if you have children under 10, WDW is offering them a free dining plan, so consider that in your calculations if it applies.
8:00pm on 3/10/26 by
I cannot make a dining plan work in my favor.
10:43pm on 3/10/26 by
With the SW credit card, at 48 hours when I go to my flight will there be a "pick seat" button? What do I need to be looking for in the app??
7:57pm on 3/9/26 by
Row 16 must be exit rows. Assume you are all over age 14? I'd love that!
7:42pm on 3/10/26 by
Yes. Appears to be an exit row. We are all 50....so well over the 14 year old cut off...lol
8:43pm on 3/10/26 by
DTW and myself cannot sit in "Exit Rows". We do old people preboard. DTW gets a new hip 7 weeks before our next trip.
10:42pm on 3/10/26 by
We are die hard stay on property people but need to consider off site so we can bring DD 21 and DD 23 significant others. Recommendations? Any particular AirBNB maybe?
8:43pm on 3/10/26 by
I liked staying in Emerald Island resort. Condos and houses of various sizes.
9:04pm on 3/10/26 by
VRBO is my go to in Windsor Hills. Do not forget your campsite. You can have it all.

Do the cast members now if kids have shoe lifts? https://www.facebook.com/reel/3582141538589404
9:10pm on 3/10/26 by
DD was always small. I put her in 3" flip-flops, and she never failed to get on a ride. They do not check for lifts. CM's will not ask to remove your shoes to measure you or check for inserts. You get to pick your shoes. They only check for height.

Mrs Magic is running a pasta-palooza and bingo party for middle school kids. She's looking for prize ideas ($20-$30 cost). Last time she got Stanley cups and restaurant gift cards. Any good suggestions of what a middle school kid would be excited to win?
9:59pm on 3/10/26 by
Fortnite V-bucks, if that's still a thing (it looks like it is)! Like a gift card you spend in a video game.
10:13pm on 3/10/26 by
movie tickets,
10:28pm on 3/10/26 by
271 days until FotH. Good morning and have a great day Liner friends!

It's 2am and we leave for our 11 week adventure tomorrow ... we still don't know how we're getting home but I just found my Disney crocs hiding in the back of the wardrobe so everything is fine :-o everyone just keep calm I've got this.... Oh and 33 to...

@Tash, Croc on!

So how's EE been at HS recently? My LLMP day is Friday and plan A is SDD, TSM, & ToT. But SDD is not looking good on thrill data. So plan B is MMRR instead and line up for SDD 1st thing at EE. Whadya think?
12:39am on 3/10/26 by
At this time last year I rode SDD at the very start of EE (I was 6th back from the tap styles), pivoted to ToT bc TSM wasn't running yet, and then got onTSM at 8:58 (before the regular crowds were released)
8:36pm on 3/10/26 by
The year before, same week, we EE rooe dropped SDD, scooted to Rise bc TSM was still down, then rode ASS and got into TSM *right before* the regular crowds were released
8:38pm on 3/10/26 by
We did something similar June '23 trip. But just stayed in Toy Story since TSM came online quickly. Glad that strategy is still working. Short trip this time, so will have LLMP for the first time. Been studying like crazy :)
