My very first offsite visit in coming up. What do you do differently? We will have a car/APs. Each park one time. dAS (no LL typically needed). When to arrive at each park and any tips on parking/trams /TTC/ways to use the time during EE. Thanks

Bumping to get offsite tips. Do you go the opposite direction of EE guests? Never not had EE available to us. Also we don't usually drive to the parks so I haven't navigated driving parking lots. TTC trams etc.
2:56pm by
I do offsite often. Parking is really only a PITA at MK, only because everything is far to the TTC. I haven't used trams in for ever so not much to add there. I do try to move opposite of EE at MK.

When entering parking remember to follow for all guests unless otherwise necessary. Watch CMs as they direct you. Also I did notice your other question about 3hr breaks. We do often leave and return, even when offsite.

For anyone who's eaten bfast at Ale&Compass is the enhancement an additional $28? On top of entree price? Just thinking that seems really high

So they're taking away the buffet bit and you just pick off menu?

Disappointing to hear of this change!

That was our favorite breakfast at Disney. So saf to see this ending.

Looking to beat the heat at MK without going back to offsite resort. What would you do from 12-3ish. Is that enough time. Monorail resorts/meals/rest. TS or QS? Going Saturday. Best plan for after we return to MK. Best place and time for parade and HEA?
2:52pm by
I am debating this also- may end up back at the resort just due to being so dang hot and sweaty but just in case I was going to try to figure something else out also lol
2:56pm by
3 hours is plenty of time, esp considering you'll be in AC and away from crowds during those hours. You could Uber to/from your hotel to reduce the amount of time you spend getting from Point A to B during your break.

I would do a TS meal at a monorail resort or WL. Will take up a good chunk of the time in transport and eating, and it'll be good and cold inside the resort. WL also has giant smooshy chairs in its lobby, which would be perfect for resting.

Dumb question here - do the LL run out when pre booking ? If I am planning MK for 8/2 right now the earliest return time for BTMRR is 5:20. I can't book until Thursday - will there be any left? We are going to rope drop also but wanted to ride again.
12:44pm on 7/26/26 by
Thanks for the info @Second! We are planning on rope dropping it also so crossing fingers we can get in quickly and towards the front of the rope dropping crowd. Any suggestions for where to enter Frontierland?
8:29pm on 7/26/26 by
So I just checked thrilldata again and BTMRR is showing all morning times starting tomorrow for LL so maybe there's hope for getting an earlier time. Does that seem normal to you all? I can modify a time after I pre book right?
2:54pm by
Yes you can modify immediately after making your selection. I recommend using BG1 to do this so you can sidestep the time gaps MDE imposes between LLMPs.

Family trip this weekend and crowds are projected to be 3 with MK a 2 and EP a 1 all weekend. Is this accurate? Seems like low crowds for a summer weekend but I have never been in July.. Is it too good to be true and should we expect more crowds?
8:50am by
Major heat advisory for today also so crowds may have thinned out this afternoon
3:01pm by
Here's the one for Epcot, @h: https://c.touringplans.com/epcot/crowd-levels

It's what I looked at earlier when I posted in this thread.

132 days. Good morning and have a great Monday Liner friends!

100 more days!

OMG that brunch at Remy was worth the price of the cruise. 24 hours in and I'm sold on DCL.
2:10pm by
Ali, which ship are y'all on?
2:52pm by
NDR: After my collision with a deer last week, my car has been totaled, and I'm having trouble finding a new car as replacement. I start paying for a rental tomorrow. Any suggestions on finding a rental for a longer timeframe ? Not near a major airport
3:22pm on 7/26/26 by
But my favorite is my corporate National account. it is always cheapest and I mostly pick any car I want with the emerald club.
1:12pm by
Update: I have been told I can keep my current rental car at the same rate Progressive was paying. I've booked it for the week so far, but it's doubtful I will have a new vehicle before then. I am a FL resident with car titled there but accident in WI.
1:57pm by
I don't know about WI but in St Louis people can drive for years with temp tags ;-)
2:08pm by
I see people asking about Guardians, trying to get a gauge on if they will like it or now. This won't help everyone, but if you have ever been to Hersheypark and ridden laugh track, I think it's like a more intense and amazing version but a similar style.
2:08pm by
Looking for recommendations of a nice but affordable hotel to stay at for one night in Orlando before checking into Swan Resort the next day :)
10:04pm on 7/26/26 by
We also love the Drury Plaza DS with the MSAVER rate. The free dinner and drinks are a huge bonus.
11:15pm on 7/26/26 by
Delta on 535 just outside of Disney Springs. Bonus it is next to AdventHealth walk up
1:14pm by
We have stayed at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista several times. Easy walk to DS. The tower rooms are the best.

Best way to "link" two reservations of similar room types so we (hopefully) don't have to change rooms during trip. Rented points for two BWV stays: 8/7-8/8, 8/9-8/12. Chat online, or call, or wait to front desk check-in? Success stories or advice welcome
9:30am on 7/25/26 by
Do you have a day between your reservations? You have one until 8/8 and the next one on 8/9?
6:18am by
No day between reservations - night 8/7-8/8, 8/9-8/12 (so really all days between8/7-8/13) Thanks all for replies!!
11:27am by
I was thinking the same @PT, o didn't see what was connecting 8/8 to 8/9
