Hi liners! Quick SWA question: is the "old" modify flight if the price drops thing still work? I have barely flown in the last year (thanks gas prices) and feel so out of the loop!

The gift card trick will also let you transfer the money to someone else later. At least mine can.

If anyone cares; I canceled the old flight; made a new reservation for more $$ than the expiring credit, used a gift card to pay the extra on the top ticket before the expiring credit. Then I canceled the new ticket. All $$ became; Expiration: None

@JTT shared this first so the credit goes there. Here? With him!!

Anyone have issues with 2 year old magic band +'s? I can't get them to reset or pair for anything

I got a new iPhone a couple months ago. Had to go through the pairing process. Been working fine I think.

Mine is a couple years old and it would only briefly light up when put in the charger- but not while it was charging. Won't light for any effects. GS said it will function for everything but just won't have light effects anymore.

9:49pm on 5/19/26 by Tinkerminnie

Seems like a lot of money for something that only lasts a couple years.

6:43am on 5/20/26 by vickiwaffles

Especially since the implied benefit was they would last longer since you could charge them.

7:18am on 5/20/26 by popupcamper

New MagicBands-plus are $35, I've always felt they offer enormous convenience and time savings, and the cost is negligible in the context of a WDW trip. I keep backup old ones in my luggage just in case.

11:09am on 5/20/26 by Ali Ababwa

Typical of new cell phones. 2 year battery life then they die so you have to buy a new one. I find the free plastic key cards from the front desk to work just as well. Don't need to spend $$ on a thousand pics and videos.

12:52pm on 5/20/26 by Jennyhirsch

Mine still works at 3 years. It did crash and I had to reset it but it went well and works again. Front Desk will reset it for you if need be.

2:47pm on 5/20/26 by JackOfAll

The one I purchased the first day that they were available (so 2022?) still works perfectly. The other one isn't functional for reasons too stupid to describe here, but I can use it as a regular MB. I may buy a new one with my AP discount next week.

3:05pm on 5/20/26 by utang44

My 2022 one also still works fine. I had an issue with it not pairing once in the past but eventually some answer I found on the internet worked-wish I could remember what it was!

3:59pm on 5/20/26 by ThankThePhoenicians

We haven't used this in over 2 years so maybe it failed

8:54pm on 5/20/26 by Apeery

Is it fully charged?

Have you tried putting it in rice?

6:53am by Fatty McButterpants

We have two from 2022 that work fine. I turn them off (push button on back for around 6 seconds until MB vibrates twice) when we get back from WDW.

1:05pm by Dell795

Rice is always best with butter.

Happy to hear from everyone! :) Bumping for that $196 Savannah room, is still out there this morning. Could just be they didn't update the listing or multiple requests are waiting to be processed, but you gotta be in it to win it.

That Kidani is better than "only" 12% under median looks. Last year only saw about 6 Sept listings around this price as summer rolled through & most were priced higher. TL;DR: A WINNER.

Looking at the price chart for all dates in the year, there are certainly parts of the year where you'll see significantly lower prices for this room - but August is NOT typically one of them. 32% under that median is a great deal!

10:34am on 5/18/26 by JJT (staff)

Checked for fun: the direct cash rate for this Aulani 1BR Island Gardens view on these dates is $1,753 per night after tax. Little bit 'o savings there.

Good news on the AMAZING new Saratoga 1 Bedroom Villa that appeared this morning! The rental site appears to have an incorrect start date of today in its data table, but the detailed listing has a start date of 5/29! $280/n price is a chef's kiss.

Argh: Scratch the previous update on that SSR 1BR - not only did they change the start date they now increased the price to over $400/night! That is all.

NDR at all- it seems a Key Foods will be coming near me in CT. I know nothing about them. Are they good/boring?

Just wrapped up dinner at Sanaa. Every time we go, it's a reminder why Sanaa is always a must do. Excellent experience & the best food. If you haven't been ever (or even in a few years) take this as a sign to go give it a try

Wow! I'm sorry to hear about yall having less than ideal experiences at sanaa that's so sad!! They were great for us and our group of 15, the guest experience mgr even took me to make sure the table was right for our group lol

10:51am by cammc

It felt like the servers at Sanaa decided ahead of time how much we were going to tip, and then gave us service that matched that assumption.

1:17pm by Ali Ababwa

I've never done a "full meal" at Sanaa, but have done bread service (and drinks) at lounge with DW twice and it was wonderful. DS18 (at the time) took his 2 HS friends there and loved it too.

1:47pm by DestinyCalled

Want to make sure I have this right. We arrive 6/1 at ASM and move to BWV 6/2. My LLMP day is 5/25 correct? We have date based tickets starting 6/1 even though we aren't going to the park that day. DS has Celebrate America passes

@jenny he has 7 in his family so he used all his tickets for the Celebration passes. We did get the Magic Your Way so still a good deal. And we needed them for 9 days

If you wanted a simple dinner would you go for kona, boma, or Sanaa? I'm vegetarian but would want something a bit different than cafeteria food one meal

11:40am by RileysBirthday

I would go to Boma. Buffets generally have a greater variety of vegetarian dishes available.

11:51am by PrincipalTinker

I would vote for either of those AKL restaurants - both excellent.

12:41pm by njhyndman

Look at the menu for Kona. I like it way better than Boma. But I think buffets are ridiculously overpriced.
