In the family & friends list in WDW app, how on earth do I change "my other family & friends" to "we're planning together?"

I've used this before: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/help/family-friends/ And when that doesn't help, MDE chat has always been able to fix it for me.

10:43am by evamarie320

I have had so much trouble with this in the past. I usually end up getting a CM on chat feature to fix...or maybe had to call. Can't remember for sure. It is frustrating

10:47am by h2olly

I had to call for this type of issue

I thought it did it automatically when you had adrs or hotel plans together. But if it's someone offsite you can share plans by going to hamburger, scroll to profile, F&F upper corner, tap name and select share all plans.

I can't wait for October to come. Doing my first solo trip and I'm so excited. It's been a rough year so I totally need this.

4:53pm by mickeyforlife

That is exciting, sorry about the rough year. Totally get it.

Super fun! October is a great month to visit too

Guys, it's official. We're going to try out dollywood next month before Kiddo starts school. It'll be a short trip, and over the weekend ( vs weekday which i would have preferred but it doesn't always workout that way! Ha!) Staying at heartsong !

You do not need a plan in the same way as Disney. Dollywood is very much doable for a newbie without tons of research ahead of time. I would download the app and filter rides you and dd would like. For two days I would do rides one day and shows the next

Plus you'll have timesaver so you should have a very pleasant trip. Research food and maybe ride videos ahead of time. Also do drone show if you can

It's hilly! And a big circle with not many cut throughs so having a plan is good so you don't walk in circles (like we did). We loved it though! I found the Facebook page for fans very helpful for planning and questions

My news feed just pushed an article about safe affordable retirement towns. Most are in places I've never heard of, but two were near Orlando! So for those of you checking out possible retirement towns: look at Tavares and Vero Beach! Link below.

We now have a home in Eustis. Mount Dora is so quaint and beautiful. Both are near Tavares.

So chatted with DH- he brought up that Ohio taxes retirement income. Don't know about the other Midwest states but interesting point.

Do you get taxed from state where retired from no matter where you live?

Kind of Disney related. Bath&Body Works have candles on sale today. What are your fave Disney dupe scents?

3:17pm by ejhnstn

Can't speak to the dupes, cause after years of only using BBW candles, I now have all the Magic Candle Company ones! That said, if they bring back the Disney princess line again, get allllll the Tiana stuff. It smells so good.

I love the Tiana stuff! I just finished using the body wash yesterday.

The Mandalorian stuff is fun in my basement bar area!

We have a family of 6 going to Disney in June 2027. Last time I've been to Disney was back in 2021. I dont believe anything is the same, lol. I just renewed TP bc it was a game changer back then for us. It sounds like LL is a must, but will end up costing

8:03pm on 7/18/26 by Lynn23

collapse thread

Over $600 total for 1 day at each park (that's a lot). Is it really worth it or a must have. We are only doing 1 day at each park. The kids were so little the 2 youngest dont even remember it.

8:05pm on 7/18/26 by Lynn23

I feel like Im learning the system all over again. If anyone has a new tips, please share. Any help would be so appreciated!!

8:06pm on 7/18/26 by Lynn23

LL is very helpful for MK and HS. You can probably skip for AK if you RD as well as EPCOT. However, I would pay for Guardians bc it's amazing.

8:09pm on 7/18/26 by mayhem521

Are you sure it's over $100 a person? That doesn't sound right.

8:11pm on 7/18/26 by popupcamper

Yeah MK is the most expensive at $69 next week per person. AK is only $32. There's tax but still. I think it's worth it. Bring sandwiches to make the money.

8:14pm on 7/18/26 by popupcamper

Oh I dont even know the prices. I just saw average is $25 per person per day in early June. So total for 4 days with 6 people each day around d $600. I might be totally off though.

8:18pm on 7/18/26 by Lynn23

$69 for MK?!? Is that LLSPx2 and LLMP all together?

8:20pm on 7/18/26 by Totsypooh

@lynn im sorry to say its going to be more than that...

8:21pm on 7/18/26 by Totsypooh

I would budget $40 per person per day - $960 for 4 days.

8:49pm on 7/18/26 by njhyndman

Touring plans staff has done great blog posts showing how they got a ton done, without LLs, during spring break week. So it can be done. All depends on your priorities.

8:55pm on 7/18/26 by evamarie320

Here's the blog post on Hollywood Studios. https://touringplans.com/blog/hollywood-studios-touring-without-genie-april-2023/

8:57pm on 7/18/26 by evamarie320

Wow! Just for the 3 old school free "fast passes," that is terrible. What happened in 5 years?

8:57pm on 7/18/26 by Lynn23

You can be fine without MPLL for AK and EP, although I'd buy SPLL for FoP and GotG, if you think kids want to ride twice (rope drop plus LL). MK is fun for MPLL because so many rides for LLs. HS is a must for LL. HS is hardest park without LLs.

8:59pm on 7/18/26 by Jennyhirsch

I would totally plan on saving $$ by limiting meals out and spending on LLs! Food is so very overpriced. Have fruit, snacks, bfast, even lunch foods in hotel.

9:01pm on 7/18/26 by Jennyhirsch

Check TP crowd predictions before purchasing. We bought it but really didn't need it at AK or MK last month. We mostly just appreciated it bc it meant we had time to ride our favorites a couple of times.

9:22pm on 7/18/26 by ls2000

It saved us some time at Epcot and then we didn't buy at HS bc we just did AH event there.

9:23pm on 7/18/26 by ls2000

Yes @totsy. I was trying to see how OP was getting to $100 per person per day. I misunderstood that they were calculating the entire trip at $100 per person.

9:40pm on 7/18/26 by popupcamper

Lots of people go without LLs. It just depends on your priorities. We rarely eat in the park - I bet we spend $15 per person per day, but I don't go a day without LLs.

9:41pm on 7/18/26 by popupcamper

If you are fortunate enough to be able to buy it without being fiscally irresponsible, bite the bullet & do it. It stinks to spend so much more on top of park tickets but having LLMP and knowing how to use it efficiently cuts time spent in line notably.

10:18pm on 7/18/26 by SecondFavoriteDuck

e.g., my fam rode 21 rides on Thursday and 14 more on Friday this week with LLs. Our longest LLMP queue was 15 minutes. Another strategy for cutting time in lines is using single rider options whenever available.

10:25pm on 7/18/26 by SecondFavoriteDuck

Yes its much more than just three that you can get. With a bit of research, planning and fast walking you can get pretty much every ride in every park done in a day using LLs/ low standby waits except maybe for MK depending on your go power.

12:28am on 7/19/26 by Totsypooh

Thanks so much for all of the replies. This really has helped me decide! I will do some research on how to use the LL's to get the most of them. If you have any resources that would be great

10:16pm on 7/19/26 by Lynn23

Check out Ear Scouts with Rob on you tube. Awesome videos on how to use LL. There's a general how to and then individual park videos also.

If you buy LL's (we do) I chose to think of it as "part of the cost of a ticket." Disney is just not going to give up all that extra $$$, so I frame it as park tickets being way more expensive now. (And I frame the mouse as greedier than ever, sigh.)

7:25am on 7/20/26 by PeculiarMademoiselle

I am here now, and even with low crowds I am so glad I have LLMP and purchased LLSP! We are literally just walking from ride to ride to ride. We aren't out in the sun trying to decide what to do. Wait Magic is a game changer! Getting us everything we want

9:03pm on 7/22/26 by Chrissy-T

Is it better to buy 2 SPLL (tron and sdmt) at MK or buy 1 MPLL if you had to decide between the two options?

9 min ago by Lynn23

For a group of 6 (2 adults with 4 kids) what is the best strategy to maximize MPLL at MK and HS? I am assuming it is less likely to get better finds with a big group but I would hate to split us up. How do u fit Tron and SDMT in, not staying on property

Rider swap times for Guardians and Tron are way off on touring plans. By like 30+ minutes

2:42pm on 7/19/26 by burner4444

collapse thread

Have never done RS but wondered if you submitted times? I see that you're not new to TP but welcome to chat. You could also send an email. Sorry it's off today

3:21pm on 7/19/26 by youcanfly

I submitted my wait for guardians but not the whole rider swap time. I don't think it's a today problem I think they're just wrong.

3:37pm on 7/19/26 by burner4444

I didn't even realize Touring Plans estimated rider swap times. I'm not sure how they'd have the data for that.

3:49pm on 7/19/26 by utang44

As @youcan says, though, to share a concern with Touring Plans, you'll want to use the Contact link from the home button of this app to reach the TP team. We're just Disney lovers here in chat.

3:50pm on 7/19/26 by utang44

Are the times too long or short? I know Tron has been experimenting with internal rider swap which makes it WAY faster.

4:18pm on 7/19/26 by melcort10

I thought rider swap were able to enter the LL lines?

4:27pm on 7/19/26 by PrincipalTinker

@burner444, if you recall the time of day and the wait times, let me know. I can get this fixed. Thanks for letting us know!

8:10pm on 7/19/26 by len (staff)

Sorry for the delay. Lightning land with rider switch for Tron on Saturday 7/18 around 12:15 took about an hour. Lightning Land with rider switch for Guardians on Sunday 12/19 around 12:45 took about 45 minutes

7:43am on 7/22/26 by burner4444

^^^thats about the time I would expect it to take for two sets of people to go thru LL for rider switch for those two rides. What was the estimated time??

8:33am on 7/22/26 by JenniferB1975

Tron only said 15 minutes all together. Guardians 27 minutes. This was our first time on Tron. Now that we know there is that waiting area up the ramp we'd save probably about ten minutes.

7:20am by burner4444

Glad @len is looking into it cause 15 minutes for two rides on Tron is definitely not enough. Nor is what they said for guardians.

7:26am by popupcamper

That estimated time for rider switch was way off. Sorry about that. It must be hard for TP to get good estimates for it but common sense says 2 LL rides back to back on Tron is more than 15. I dont think 1 ride is often done in 15 with walk and load times

8:17am by Jennyhirsch

It takes a good bit longer than that to walk through the queue and preshows for GOTG twice.

8:38am by utang44

Working on this shortly. @burner4444 - thanks for that information!

10:38am by len (staff)

@jennyhirsch maybe common sense for someone who has experienced it before, not someone who hasn't. I snow agree with 15 min for one ride with LL but when I turn rider switch off TP estimate is only 8 min

12:02pm by burner4444

Oh my, that was not directed at you in any way, shape or form!!! It was just me thinking "out loud" on Chat that the Touring Plan estimate was way off. The "common sense" should be on TP's end of things when estimates are created.

4:25pm by Jennyhirsch

Rider swap with LL for Guardians today around 2:30 took about 90 min

4:47pm by burner4444

Whew, yuck! Had GOTG been down at any point before that, do you know? If it goes down and people with LLs get anytime passes, the LL can get cluttered later with people redeeming those.

US friends, which is the best site to buy a 3 day ticket from? Park hopper may not be needed. Thanks!

Someone mentioned Expedia https://www.expedia.com/things-to-do/walt-disney-world-resort-theme-park-tickets.a181079.activity-details?location=Bay%20Lake%2C%20Lake%20Buena%20Vista%2C%20Florida%2C%20United%20States%20of%20America&startDate=2026-07-23&endDate

A 1d MK is $185 8/9 This shows $195. Guessing it depends on date. What is the meaning of-must show id & "meeting" point?

1:18pm by Magicalday2011

The Expedia price is quite a bit more than the conference tickets I recently priced out.
