Hi does the optimizer option take into organising rides/attractions/shows in the time of year you are going? We are going in July and it will be very hot. The plan has optimised a chunk of the air-conditioned attractions in the morning...

Once you rearrange stuff to your liking, use the Evaluate button as opposed to Optimize to keep the order.

More important might be to plan any outdoor rides that will close in a storm for the mornings.
11:53am by
It doesn't. I wish it even indicated indoor attractions and you could hit indoor mode for rain. Just move stuff around to your liking and hit evaluate. Definitely prioritize outdoor attractions in morning. Shows in afternoon.

DD is going to go to GE on May 4th to hopefully see the lightsabers lit up at night. She knows to get to GE before it's closed off. Any advice on when to get to HS by? Or when they close off GE? Or any other tips for the 4th?

Last year, GE entry was closed but they would let you in if you either had a reservation or a mobile order pick up. I made a mobile order for Docking Bay and I was let in. First pics I have of the lightsabers in my phone are stamped 8:10pm, barely dusk.

On may4, 2022 the entire area was shut down for a press event-no guests. Fans were upset. I sent a scathing email to guess services that this was the first time fans had a May4 in their land and they decided to have a press event. Got a call...

... from a very understanding exec who even admitted that was definitely a Disney fail. When Aug29 came around (official anniversary of the land)fans were ready and organized.

Can you book one of the caricatures beforehand or just good to do at the hotel randomly?

For those with HEA/second starlight parade experience. Anyone get a spot in front of emporium/end of Main St for FW then sit there for 2nd parade? Wondering if bulk of crowd for FW will be towards hub and how early we'd have to get to this area.
8:24am by
The second parade is much easier to get a spot for but it felt like the same amount of people in the hub versus along main street and around the train station.
9:44am by
I just saw a post about the porch chairs of Crystal Palace often being available.... no personal experience
10:34am by
We were hoping the majority of the first parade people would follow it up Main Street to watch HEA in the hub area and we'd be able to grab a spot around the train station/end of Main Street for HEA then 2nd parade :)
12:11pm by
Nobody moves after the first parade lol. They hold their spots for the fireworks. We watched along the hub and then were trying to get to the dessert party and had trouble because literally no one was moving.

FYI: if you want to be able to add a Disney gift card to your Apple wallet or watch, you must have a digital gift card directly from Disney! After that, you can transfer up to $1000 to it in the wallet from any card (like the Sam's Club deal).

Hi! Thinking about flying in and out of Sanford for the first time. Allegiant is much cheaper from my home airport. Pros and cons? I'm going with my daughter and not renting a car.
7:11am by
I'm interested in this too!
9:58am by
Thanks! Good to know the cost of uber- that may actually make Mco come in at about the same price. Definitely something to look into.
10:11am by
@DisStacey that's what we are running in to, also. With Gear Fusion the car service is almost double from MCO which is really only saving us about 50 dollars per person in the end but I figured we would try it.

10:28am by

Plane lands ar ORD at 1135 am on a monday in june. Family of 7 staying at POP. By the time we get to POP would you opt for heading to a water park for the first day free thing, or skip it and hang at the pools. The next day is a full day w rope drop.
8:39pm on 4/30/26 by
We always like to have a leisure lunch at resort, have some relaxing pool time, have a great dinner at one of the monorail resorts, relax on the balcony and watch the Electric Light show on the bar lake then watch the MK fireworks!
8:23am on 5/1/26 by
Thanks everyone. I should have mentioned kids are 11, 14, 17, 19 and grandma will be with us. Might just stay at pop and pools SL. We do have an off day for that plan already in between 2 full park days. I guess we will see what time we really get to POP
9:09am by
I'd go for the water park if travel goes smoothly.
