WDW Chat Parks

At DL we rope drop the rope drop. We were once the family of the day and are first on PP or SM depending where we head first. At WDW, coming from the west, we can't get up that early. How is it arriving at the parks right at open, or within 30 min of open

You'll definitely be behind the crowd. Use LLs judiciously and you'll be fine.

@eve- we are going in summer when crowds are lower, and will have LL and standby skipper. Might even get premier pass a couple days. Are non LL rides also backed up by park open? And, we can stay late- is staying until close useful?
41 min ago by
I wouldn't bother with Standby Skipper. You could do fine with booking LLs on your own. We always schedule our preselects to start in the 9 a.m. hour or later, and we don't rope drop.

Also, there aren't very many rides that don't have LL. Carousel and PeopleMover are the only ones that come to mind.

Somewhat DR: After adoring my 20+ year-old luggage, all of the handles/rods have broken; and repair companies say fixes aren't possible, so I'm reluctantly looking to replace them. Does anyone have a company they swear by? Carry-ons are still okay, but..

Just FYI if you're looking at Samsonite, on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B31MT8SC?th=1 the price varies from $159 to $189 depending on color for the same check-thru.

I ended up with Travelpro softside after some liner recommendations. It's held up now about 40 flights. I like the inside layout. Bought a swing one for DS. I've been using an American Tourister carry on for years to haul my electronics around.

Another vote for Travelpro here. DH was a commercial pilot and it's what the airline purchased for him so we bought one for me too. They lasted almost exactly 18 years, both started to fall apart on a family vacay to Hawaii it was hilarious!

Kinda DR-Committed to start to run, never have though! I'm 48 & just finished getting my varicose veins taken care of. I'm a person that needs a goal. So, I'd love to run in a runDisney***

Book rather than app for Jeff? I'm thinking I'll go to that after this trip.
5:11pm by
LOL @cobia! I still have one non surgically repaired moderately good knee left. Operating was fun though, still miss it.
5:12pm by
I only have one knee with an ACL so have to be careful but doing ok so far. DH will have a brand new bionic hip & promises he'll do 5k

Delayed opening for Tiana's! Hoping it won't be much longer. This is all we really wanted to do this morning. We snagged a Beak & Barrel for 10:15, so will wait here for a few more minutes.
9:27am by
Glad you got to ride!
11:25am by
Me too @hodg! On the boat back to Ftw now. Got my mom some treats from the Confectionery! Apparently they drop Beak & Barrel reservations every morning at 8am. We got ours just after 8 & they had several available spots for mid morning!
11:32am by
Great info @kim about B&B dropping more ADRs at 8!

We have free quick service dining and I've been googling but it just keeps coming up useless AI answers. Where is a great use of snack credits?? Google said gideons which doesn't even take dining plan.

I have Almost a whole brick of Cheese that we don't use. It sounds weird to offer open food, but it also seems wrong to just throw it out. Would anyone like it before 11:00am tomorrow? We are at BLT.

I opened all the replies just to see what @fatty said. Not disappointed!
4:41pm by
Every time I flew to Amsterdam for work I'd take an empty suitcase just for Gouda.

Thanks for the liner meet post! I love putting names with faces.

Is there a way to calculate how much a conversion to an AP will be with a six day package ticket? Not a math genius here :)
12:36pm by
Subtract the ticket price you're paying from the cost of the AP. You get the value you paid toward the AP.
12:49pm by
Since you can no longer bridge a ticket, it's not complicated like the past.
2:20pm by
Thanks - I don't have the breakdown just the total since it was a package deal booked a while ago

I woukd look at how much Disney is charging for those tickets for your dates.

"What's cookin'?" Mother's Day edition: Happy Mother's Day to you! I'm making grilled ribeyes with babes Yukon gold potatoes, sauteed mushrooms & onions and a nice garden salad. Dessert will be cookies, Doppelkeks. Share your dinner plans!
4:25pm by
We had Mother's Day lunch and it was lasagna so dinner is leftovers.

Beef stroganoff use 8oz sour cream, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1/4 cup ketchup. meat of choice and noodles and then you have Grand-Ma-Ma's famous dish
6:31pm by
Beautiful weather here today. So we took MiL for a walk in a cute nearby town, sat for a drink at a bar while the restaurant prepped a takeout order for us. Came home and had sauteed oysters and cod with crabmeat stuffing.

Next DCL question- we're self driving to port canaveral. How early before boarding slot shld we plan to drive up? Know we have to drop bags, sort out labels, park & I presume walk in.
5:08pm by
What's your slot? I would probably aim to get there about 20-30 minutes before unless you have a really late time and want to try and sneak on earlier. Remember as soon as you hit the WiFi in the terminal you can book things on the ship!
5:36pm by
12.45pm- 1st timers so not early! Not really anything we're planning on booking tho.
6:18pm by
I was thinking aim to arrive 12.15ish
6:18pm by
And DH has a theragun he needs on the ship. Not on the banned items list at all. But is he better to have it in the suitcase or in his carry on backpack?

@kimluvsdisney is inspiring me to look into FW cabins for the first time bc we would love to bring our dogs to WDW! What are the best times of year to stay at FW?
5:07pm by

Christmas was fun with the decorations (other guests' decorations)
