Day 2! Resort day for this chilly day- we are in hats and coats which is saying a lot being from MA! Dragging a bit from travel day and having colds but skyliner over to YC for Ale and Compass right now :)

Nice. A&C is my second favorite breakfast!

10:35am by MOJoe

Have fun! I love that breakfast and lots to see in that area and on SL!

10:57am by TumbleMonkeys

Love it! We'll be there for brunch 1/4! Enjoy!

Last night at the Poly Beach for fireworks, I wore 3 coats, and we live in WI 6 months per year! Very quiet there!

Spring Break....When is everyone's in 2026 since Easter is April 5th?

43 min ago by fcoffey

Spring break for schools in Knoxville, TN is ridiculously early this year: March 9 to 13. At least a week earlier than it has been previously.

Trying to decide if group of 15 should do a park day 1/1 or 1/2 or skip it. How crowded will it feel? Like standstill in fantasyland level? TP says 7-9s...) Based on (limited) FP availability we are between HS and AK if we go at all.

11:13am by imfluffy

We are local but SIL 1&2 are not and are pushing hard for a last-second park day... but I'm afraid of misery with trying to do an unplanned day with a group of 15... not sure how to advise them to help them decide. Help!

11:17am by imfluffy

In my experience the morning of the New Year is usually not crowded. That would be my choice only if you don't have late night plans for tonight. Also there's nothing wrong with splitting up and allowing those that want another day to keep going.

11:30am by youcanfly

On a crowded day, I like AK (usually less popular) or Epcot (room to spread out). Agree with arrival early on NYD. Recommend flip flopping the usual pattern, and doing countries in the morning and front of park in the evening, for Epcot.

11:36am by TumbleMonkeys

I would absolutely not do HS. That park feels crazy crowded even on low CL days, so a high CL day sounds like misery to me.

Anyone know a good place at WDW to find shout/tide wipes or a pen?

11:54am by Jlwagner21

I think I have seen a tide pen at DVC resort stores.

12:00pm by PrincipalTinker

Thanks

45 min ago by Jlwagner21

They're in the regular resort stores, too, in our experience. Know I saw them at POFQ last month.

I have just booked rooms at cabins at fort wilderness from 3/3 through 3/8. Have not booked parks yet. How can I register trip?

10:51am by Golfgal7812@gmail.com

On a browser, use touringplans.com (same login) to create the trip.

10:56am by TumbleMonkeys

Welcome to chat! Also suggest the website over the app. Once you have a trip plan you can look at the dates to decide which park on which day.

11:33am by youcanfly

With the last update you can do it in the app. Go to add trip, select dates and hotel in the app. You can now also see all trips in the app.

12:04pm by PrincipalTinker

Best way to get from MCO to PORFQ? No rental car.

I uber

11:37am on 12/30/25 by mnfc

How many people? One or two cheapest is Mears bus but that's longest. uber or Lyft if you're willing to get into a strangers car is middle between cheap and fast. Fastest and easiest but most expensive is hired car like gear fusion.

11:38am on 12/30/25 by popupcamper

Uber or Lyft or the easiest. Usually around $40.

11:41am on 12/30/25 by JenniferB1975

I would argue uber and Lyft aren't the easiest. Someone meeting me at baggage claim then walking to the secret private driver place is way easier than finding a strangers car outside but cheaper for sure.

11:48am on 12/30/25 by popupcamper

BTW, All Rideshare is getting into someone elses car. Only way around it is to rent a car.

1:34pm on 12/30/25 by JackOfAll

Welp, but Jack, that is also someone else's car.

1:45pm on 12/30/25 by utang44

Rideshare is someone else's car. Gear fusion is a company owned and maintained car that had a boss meeting with the employee when they picked up the car. Not Joe Schmoe who bought his tires off eBay and smoked out five minutes before.

2:15pm on 12/30/25 by popupcamper

I guess they could still smoke out on their way to pick me up but it's all about choices.

2:21pm on 12/30/25 by popupcamper

Big fan of Uber/Lyft. They are so plentiful in Orlando that you can usually choose Comfort (nicer cars) or Black (very highly rated drivers and nicer cars) for a bit extra, good if you like ordering on demand and if that adds to peace of mind.

2:21pm on 12/30/25 by TumbleMonkeys

But for sure agree car services are more vetted (vehicle and driver). And car services will keep an eye on your flight arrival, so they do that legwork.

2:26pm on 12/30/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Or take Nick's maxi van. https://youtu.be/gfLWwAV8fhQ?si=r4gMcIx_3gN7BtH5

2:27pm on 12/30/25 by popupcamper

Another vote for uber/lyft. Our family doesn't use in our hometown, but SO easy to use around Disney. If flying into terminal C, literally grab bag and walk 40 ft out the door to your car. Less than 5 min wait

3:41pm on 12/30/25 by SplitStayfortheWin

Gearfusion!

4:17pm on 12/30/25 by missWishes

I ubered around Orlando this past week with no problem. I used Gear Fusion from/to airport and cannot recommend enough. Peace of mind with bigger group (6) of having someone waiting was worth extra $.

4:36pm on 12/30/25 by Buccofan1

I should probably try Black @Tumble. Here in Houston we have Alto so I use them but somewhere that doesn't have Alto I have had to use Lyft and Uber before. It's been years though. Last Uber driver kept taking his hands and eyes off the wheel to show me..

5:18pm on 12/30/25 by popupcamper

....pictures of his kids. Good times.

5:19pm on 12/30/25 by popupcamper

We always use Mears!

Uber is simple. Level 2, stand by numbered drop off. $40 charge for us.

7:55pm on 12/30/25 by Razsav

Mears is painless.

8:15pm on 12/30/25 by cobia

Mears here, if I don't get a rental car. I will only very rarely use Uber/Lyft if I'm going resort to resort just because it creeps me out.

8:32pm on 12/30/25 by Ali Ababwa

I'm team uber/lyft so easy. I don't want the bus since it's no longer free and makes stops along the way. About the same price I don't have a lot of luggage

9:05pm on 12/30/25 by WorldTraveler34

Ooof hitting 5 resorts before mine is NOT painless!

2:15am by melcort10

@mel-I've never experienced that many stops before arriving. The stops don't bother me too much though b/c I like to get a peek at other resorts. I'm a weirdo.

9:01am by HeiGirlHei

Uber. You get to watch the map of where the driver is going-not possible in Mears or Taxi (also Mears). Always check plate # and ask driver their name (when we arrived at MCO last week, a driver kept saying "what is YOUR name" he wasn't our driver...

9:11am by irenek

Same, the most Mears stops I have had are 2 or 3 max. I try to relax and get in vacation mode and not be in a hurry.

9:12am by Ali Ababwa

And don't ask "is your name ...?" Ask their name. They'll expect same if you. If you've never used it (it's been around over a decade) just do Mears

9:13am by irenek

My last Mears ride in Oct, I was stop #5. 95 minutes after waiting in line 15 minutes to board the bus. After using Gear Fusion for 2 years but having no park plans that day, I thought I'd try it again. 30 with GF vs 110 minutes with Mears to resort..

9:18am by cdlla

@cdlla, my last Mears transport from the Boardwalk to MCO took 90 minutes. We stopped at three other WDW resorts and two non WDW resorts. We switched to GearFusion and haven't looked back.

I use the Uber PIN for drivers. I did have an marked Uber pull up to me while waiting in the rideshare area at MCO. He popped the trunk and moved to take my bags. I saw the plate was wrong, said you aren't my driver and he jumped back in his car, sped off

11:43am by Elaine5715

Even thought marked, he wasn't a legit Uber. They need to enter your PIN to start the ride

11:44am by Elaine5715

Thanks everyone. Think I'll check out Gear Fusion. I'm not a big fan of Uber/Lyft, and it sounds like Mears could be a long ride.

11:52am by daw623

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you all know you shouldn't bother entering this new DVC Aulani sweepstakes because I am going to win it. :) https://www.dvcsweeps.com/alohahawaii/home

@JJT - aren't you a prior sweepstakes winner? Make some room for the rest of us!!!! :-). JK - good luck all the same.

7:43am by shockbl

@shock No, but I did share a link here and a Liner won one of the larger DVC sweeps! Here's hoping I still have some mojo left for more of us. :)

8:48am by JJT (staff)

Thanks! Good luck everyone:)

NYE Family Trip (mini) Report - Follow along for some fun! Travel Day - with a layover in CLT, it almost feels like we chose to drive instead of fly. LOL. But couldn't stomach those SW direct flight fares. So AA it is.

Sounds great and glad ST is fitting in!! We watched it as a family Xmas day while we were in FL. Such a fun memory!!

8:15am by Gusgus5

@Destiny, I'll get to enjoy the new PIT airport in only 32 days.

9:36am by TacMed

@Tac - the airport is indeed a great upgrade. Only disappointment is that I HAVE to take shuttle when I cheap out & park in furthest lot now. Took me about 25min to get back to family @ terminal, FWIW

11:21am by DestinyCalled

Departing from SS this morning. Have a bag of groceries that did not get used #6730 if anyone is interested? Eggs, cheese, butter, yogurt & bag of pretzels.

10:02am by lakohls

Nice offer

10:54am by cdlla

During june and july how much of a difference would i see using MPLL? And SPLL? Im trying to decide if its worth the extra expenses. Family of 7. Planning on splitting a day between epcot and HS and another day at MK. We will arrive early and stay late

8:12pm on 12/30/25 by stosh13

Always a must for us at those months!

8:10am by goofygrandpa

I've never done SPLL, I personally can't fathom spending $25+ for a single 3min ride - no 3min experience is worth that to me. But I'm cheap. On the other hand, I don't think I can PH without LLMP, if I'm planning to ride rides.

8:58am by DestinyCalled

I use LLSP on every trip, but don't ride Rise or Tron, so avoid the highest prices. I don't have any interest in Rise, and I just refuse to pay so much for 60 seconds on Tron. I'll always pay for GOTG, though, on every day in Epcot.
