Did y'all already talk about Jeff Vahle retiring?!

I'm hoping Josh is shaking things up, I don't know the inner workings but since Covid I haven't loved some decisions that have been made. Maybe the welcoming show getting nixed was the last straw! Fingers crossed.

I just found out extended family will be joining us on our cruise. I'm trying to book a room that will provide the least amount of motion. I usually try to book midship and the lowest deck. If I have to compromise, is it better to stay midship while

Yes to relief band. I'm wearing it at uni and it's changing the game for me. DD wore it on a fishing trip and didn't throw up OR pass out. (She had done both the previous fishing trip without the band.)

I have cruised very little so forgive my naivete. What does facing forward mean? The ships I've been on have a center corridor with rooms on either side. I'd say they face outwards. Or does this refer to the bed? I'm trying to picture what this means.

For those who were following along , I was nervous but I had a great time in the castle. I highly recommend it if you are considering it. Thx for the support!

I also went to enchanted tales with Belle and Ariel's grotto. It was quite a princessy morning. MK crowd level 1 is an absolute delight. If only every day were like this

3:08pm on 5/13/26 by VikeQueen

What questions did you end up asking of the princesses?

3:19pm on 5/13/26 by evamarie320

With each of them I explained I was there along because my now adult sons would never come when they were young. Aurora said I was making my dreams come true and living my own adventure which was very kind

4:02pm on 5/13/26 by VikeQueen

Jasmine explained how I could buy my own magic carpet. Very funny and I can't even remember how we got there so quickly.

4:03pm on 5/13/26 by VikeQueen

I told Ariel the story of how years ago we stood in the wrong line for the mermaid ride and when we got to the front and realized it was a meet and greet , my boys refused to meet and we left LOL. that story is why I went to complete the meet later

4:04pm on 5/13/26 by VikeQueen

I came full circle at the grotto because the family in front of me had also gotten in the wrong line and meant to be on the ride. But they stayed for photos LOL

4:05pm on 5/13/26 by VikeQueen

I told rapunzel (truthfully ) that she is my favorite. I didn't end up personalizing my questions much. My explanation of what I was doing there by myself led very naturally into nice interactions :)

4:06pm on 5/13/26 by VikeQueen

Great! I was wondering how you made out, so glad you had fun!

Yes @apeery. Skip to last paragraph for conclusion. Best day depends on time of year (because of parties).

8:55am by evamarie320

So looks my question from the other day about party day or Sunday is a difference of 4.5 min average wait time. I'm no data scientist but if I do 10+ rides that's a savings of an hour, right? Good info!

Apologies if this has been mentioned here already, but for any Bluey fans out there: Disney Parks Blog has confirmed that the Bluey experience in AK will require a VQ (which apparently they will use for boarding the train).

11:16pm on 5/13/26 by JERancher

How fun.

11:23pm on 5/13/26 by JackOfAll

So the VQ applies to the entire trip departing from the train station? Weird, but I suppose that's the best cutoff for crowds.

I LOVED Paris. Did not go to Disney, but the city is amazing.

5:10pm on 5/13/26 by moondance07

I have been to DLP more than ten times. What can I help you with? Two parks, very elegant and well made. 6 Disney resorts; one Disney Village. All walkable between one another. Ideally need 2-3 days. We have stayed for as long as 7.

5:22pm on 5/13/26 by nitsaki

You can find the rides on the official DLP website. The shows at DLP are outstanding. Exquisite performances. Cast Members are all minimum bilingual, many speak 4-5 languages. Guests are primarily French and other European nationals.

5:26pm on 5/13/26 by nitsaki

If you stay onsite you get early entry (one or both parks open 60 minutes early). Not sure now, but the second park used to close earlier than the first. Fireworks are at park closing, even if that is at 11pm

5:28pm on 5/13/26 by nitsaki

The skip the line system is based on LLSPs which you can buy on the same day. In the morning usually has alot of availability, gradually decreasing during the day. Less availability means return times get later and later. There is a combo LLSP...

5:31pm on 5/13/26 by nitsaki

... like the LLPP. Unfortunately the rides that have LLs are not many. We usually do not buy LLs. We utilize EE, monitor wait times and take advantage of lower evening wait times. Fill day with lower wait time rides, shows, parades. Easy to park hop.

5:35pm on 5/13/26 by nitsaki

It is good to book table service restaurants. When you should book is a bit confusing. If you stay onsite, you might be able to book best restaurants when you book your stay. I think they are trying to do 60 days prior to visit but still many exceptions

5:38pm on 5/13/26 by nitsaki

Let me know what else you need.

5:49pm on 5/13/26 by nitsaki

We did 5 nights in Paris and 3 nights in DLP last June. DLP is beautiful, but different than domestic parks. Not run nearly as efficiently. Spend the money for the special seating for the fireworks. Great view and low cost. Paris itself is amazing.

9:38pm on 5/13/26 by felesh

We did 2 half days and 2 full days, but in hindsight would have spent more time in Paris instead of DLP. Stayed at Newport Bay. The value resorts were such cute themes.

7:17am by ls2000

What I am experiencing is that they show up about 10-15 mins before the 1 hour prior to park opening. So today for ex AK EE opens at 7:30. Bus showed up at 6:16a. Yesterday for HS was the same situation as well.
