"What's cookin'?" I've been hanging out with 3 of my grands, my son is picking up Thai food on his way home from work for all of us. And for his DW and his Mom too! Doppelkeks and Doppolino cookies for dessert. Let's take a peek at your Monday's menus!

We had tacos a day early. Frosted brownies and ice cream for dessert.

7:14pm by WendyMarie

Well it was Sanaa late lunch for us- mango margarita, bread service, range of curries

7:15pm by h0tdOg

Those mango margaritas may be my favorite drink in the whole world

Hello my Internet friends. We have arrived back in the world. We have never before been here in May. We arrived in good time, did a lap around tomorrow then with some shopping on Main Street and a trip on the people mover.

5:49pm on 5/2/26 by goofygardiner

collapse thread

Our room is ready around 3:30. Back to the hotel, unpacked our luggage and our Water Butlers order. The girls are now getting a quick nap with the thought that we will head to Animal Kingdom for a last minute FOP.

5:50pm on 5/2/26 by goofygardiner

May is a great time to be here because the wheather is ussally good and the crowds are not that bad also I know because I come ecery time in May.

5:55pm on 5/2/26 by DisneyDad_NYRRavensfan

Waving from Disney springs @goofy. Tho we move on site tomoro.

6:22pm on 5/2/26 by h0tdOg

Have a wonderful trip! We love early May! Nice weather, love Flower & Garden.

7:05pm on 5/2/26 by WendyMarie

At Animal Kingdom, and walk with purpose to FOP. Walk through the queue with no resistance. We finally met resistance at the floating Navi. Now we see how long we wait on the ramp.

7:26pm on 5/2/26 by goofygardiner

13 minutes on the ramp. Now, um, we just, um, watch; um, some films.

7:37pm on 5/2/26 by goofygardiner

26 minute total wait until we got on the ride. Inside the building, however, my phone would not submit the wait time.

7:57pm on 5/2/26 by goofygardiner

31 minutes in total from the TIRE entered the queue until we got on the ride vehicles. I'm going to call that success.

7:59pm on 5/2/26 by goofygardiner

That is amazing timing on FoP! Hopefully the rest of your trip has low wait times too!

8:23pm on 5/2/26 by hauntedmansionnurse

8:35 PM, we're off to Hollywood.

8:35pm on 5/2/26 by goofygardiner

20 minutes for Rise, followed by 15 minutes to break plates! We just waited longer for the bus than either ride. Home time for bed; we've been up for 20 hours.

10:56pm on 5/2/26 by goofygardiner

That's a pretty amazing 1st day! Go get some sleep!

12:13am on 5/3/26 by h0tdOg

Wow, impressive first day! We just arrived also. Settled into Kidani 2BR - love the refurb! Dinner at Sanaa, then MK Starlight parade, Buzz (love the changes!), WtP, HEA, PPF, back to hotel between exoduses. 80 yo DM is already enjoying 1st WDW trip!

12:35am on 5/3/26 by wdw ocd

Have a great time fellow goofy!

8:02am on 5/3/26 by goofygrandpa

Sounds like a great 1st day! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

8:22am on 5/3/26 by kslawyergirl

Sounds like a great start @goofy! Hope you have a fabulous trip and you too @wdw ocd. Looking forward to first stay at kidani on our summer trip.

8:25am on 5/3/26 by act72

@act You will love Kidani! I am in heaven right now! :))

8:28am on 5/3/26 by wdw ocd

Perhaps we will run into each other sometime,@ocd. If we both just wander around yelling, "dang daddy!" We're sure to hear each other.

8:52am on 5/3/26 by goofygardiner

Have a great trip @goofygardiner

10:44am on 5/3/26 by cdlla

Haha @goofy! We're at HS today, how about you? I will definitely respond to Dang Daddy!

10:56am on 5/3/26 by wdw ocd

We are starting at Epcot today. DD 19 and I will be at DHS for supper, though.

1:18pm on 5/3/26 by goofygardiner

DW and I got up and walked the path between GF & CR, stopping at MK to tap in. DD's slept in. Now breaking at DVC lounge after watching butterflies

1:53pm on 5/3/26 by goofygardiner

After the passport lounge in Morocco, next. Something's free is always nice, but I wouldn't hurry back. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the DVC lounge. Divide and conquer after that; two of us to separate at 50s, the other two to Via Napoli.

12:05am by goofygardiner

Star tours with no wait for DD 19 and die; her first time. I'm back to Epcot to meet up with the other two. A quick tour around the countries then GOTG. We got held at the merge in the lightning lane, but no wait other than that.

12:07am by goofygardiner

Another quick visit to the DVC lounge to say hi to Mickey and Minnie with membership magic beyond, and then hustled over to Magic Kingdom. Buzz took 25 minutes, but space was super fast. We finished with curbside seats for the late parade.

12:08am by goofygardiner

Time for bed, then up for Star Wars day at DHS tomorrow. We have no intention of fighting the crowds for rides, but we want to be a part of the action.

12:09am by goofygardiner

Gnight @goofy. We've just finished trying to unpack our stuff in the living area of a 1 bed villa- not sure they thought this thru that the folks staying in this part of the room do bring clothes.

12:15am by h0tdOg

@hOtdOg, we share the bedroom dresser space with our daughters who sleep in the living room. It is tricky because those staying in the living room are in the heart of the action whether they want to be, or not.

12:20am by goofygardiner

There are not enough drawers in any of the rooms except maybe the king master. We were in the studio of a 2-bed and had to use the living room drawers!

6:33am by melcort10

Can't really keep going in & out of in-laws room. We managed using shelves in laundry. Rooms are beautiful but they could've been a bit more thought out. Even thru to a mirror maybe- it is a bedroom for most booking that room type.

7:37am by h0tdOg

Goofy family trip... Day three. Every year seems to have a different strategy for success. This year, it seems to be DW and I getting up early and heading out on our own while the young adult daughters sleep. Today is May 4 at Hollywood Studios.

10:01am by goofygardiner

Thanks to Joel, we had BG one for merchandise and walked straight in. Very exciting to have a shirt from this special occasion, seeing as I should be at home working but took the week off. Now time to skyline over to Riviera.

10:02am by goofygardiner

That's fantastic!

10:35am by h0tdOg

We decided not to risk taking in-laws into HS with the craziness today. And we're likely to leave them in bed while DH & I RD at MK I think!

10:36am by h0tdOg

We decided to get off the Skyliner at Caribbean Beach and go exploring. We filled our mugs, looked in the store, and then walked over to Riviera. We are now sitting at a patio umbrella by the lake, watching the skyliner.

10:57am by goofygardiner

We have never before been here in May, but this might be our new favourite travel time.

10:57am by goofygardiner

Hi @goofy! May is my fav month to visit! I hope you have a wonderful trip.

1:36pm by the.darlings

Hello @the.Darlings. It is nice to hear from you. We are having the best trip we have had in many years. I hope all is well with you and your family.

2:16pm by goofygardiner

Sounds amazing- early May is my holy grail in Disney!

2:25pm by LaurenInWonderland

Back to the resort for homemade nachos for lunch. We are doing a monorail shopping crawl.

2:28pm by goofygardiner

Bust the boardwalk. Epcot to the international Gateway. Some ice cream and udon from Japan, then the girls each picked a pearl.

4:53pm by goofygardiner

Lots of time with the butterflies, wandering the world, and a snack in the DVC lounge. Now busing to AK for extra hours. Has anyone done the evening hours at AK? What should we expect?

6:36pm by goofygardiner

We're at AK too. When we asked at GET they said EE, Fop, Navi all open. Maybe zootopia. So not loads really but we mostly want to see Pandora after dark. Do not plan on watching xootopia on reoeat- that was weird.

6:44pm by h0tdOg

I'm sure there will be shops open..

6:45pm by h0tdOg

Awesome. I'm wearing a black May 4 Star award tshirt from DHS today. If you see us, say hello.

6:54pm by goofygardiner

DH in black incredibles short, orange cap & shorts. I'm in a short w elephants across, grey shorts, might be pink long sleeves if chilly later.

6:57pm by h0tdOg

Three times on Everest with wait times all under five minutes.

7:51pm by goofygardiner

Fantastic! We're waiting to do that last thing in dark. In line for FoP now- not sure if dfil will love it or if it will finish him off for the night. They liked navi

8:07pm by h0tdOg

Yay- dang daddy!

Traveling in June and planning to rent a double stroller for boys who are 6 both are about 48 pounds and 48 inches, looking at strollee v2 or the bob? Any suggestions on strollee. Seems like a lighter choice for what we need it for, but not alot on info

7:09pm by jbooth120619@gmail.com

You know your kids. But at 6 will both really want to be in stroller enuf you need a double? When DA was 5 we rented a stroller but only at EP for that long walk thru WS. Other parks have attractions really close together so it was never much walking at

How weird! Thank you for the heads up. We have one just down the road, so I'll pop in tomorrow to see what they've got.

5:33pm on 5/3/26 by utang44

Oh , great info! Thank you!

6:28pm on 5/3/26 by lizshiv

I have one a couple miles from me, too, I'll head up that way on my lunch hour and see what's what. I've never seen this but I really didn't pay attention to them that much, lol!

6:55pm on 5/3/26 by cdlla

What's the purchase limit? I might buy a LOT at that rate!

7:46pm on 5/3/26 by Ali Ababwa

I don't see a limit on the ad, @ali.

8:00pm on 5/3/26 by utang44

Good! Because I have about $2000 in upcoming resort bookings - if I buy that much on my Disney Visa at DG and call in to pay it all off tomorrow that saves me $220, correct? That means a free dinner at CRT!

8:29pm on 5/3/26 by Ali Ababwa

Ugh, checked the fine print: "This deal is in-store only, and it is not available at all Dollar General Stores. It is a one-day only deal for May 4, 2026. To find out if your local store has the deal, you will need to access the sales flyer for the week."

8:40pm on 5/3/26 by Ali Ababwa

It doesn't show up for my area. *sob* https://www.dollargeneral.com/deals/weekly-ads

8:41pm on 5/3/26 by Ali Ababwa

I have one just opened near me. I don't see it on the flyer but might have DH go look in the morning. I'm still in hysterectomy recovery. Wahhh

8:47pm on 5/3/26 by Crazycatlady3

From looking at the DG app, it does appear my store is offering the deal. Guess I will find out tomorrow whether they actually have cards. I feel pretty confident there won't be a rush on them out here in rural Sevier County.

9:13pm on 5/3/26 by utang44

Appears that my local (closet of the 3 within 10 miles) will have them also. I can't get there until 10 at the earliest so I'm curious to see how many other Disney freaks there are in my little neck of the woods.... Lol.

9:32pm on 5/3/26 by cdlla

Just bought my giftcards. There is no limit!

8:45am by tritc63674

Thanks, heading to mine shortly.

9:10am by matterhorn55

Just looked online and I think my store is 15% off? Is that possible? Didn't show Disney specifically, but it's worth a drive over to see!

9:19am by Profjenn

Bought $1k. Told the lady I couldn't guarantee I wouldn't come back later for more. Gotta think on it.

9:29am by utang44

@prof, there are some cards 15% off but not Disney.

9:29am by utang44

None of the flyers for stores near me look like they have this. :(

10:25am by RememberWhen

I bought 1k also but I may run back on lunch after I talk to DD's to see if they want me to pick any up for them. The rack was full so I don't feel bad if it's still like that when I go back in 2 hours :)

10:25am by cdlla

10 percent off annual dues doesn't hurt, either :)

10:26am by cdlla

Chase flagged me as fraud. You may want to call and let them know what you are doing.

10:30am by matterhorn55

Huh. My Disney Inspire card went thru ok. She rang them up as 2 separate transactions. I'll take a different card with me jic when I go back on lunch for DD's. Thanks for heads up.

10:37am by cdlla

Yeah, the lady at my Dollar General said they needed to ring the two cards up in separate transactions for some reason, too.

10:42am by utang44

When I buy Disney Gift cards at my local grocery store they always have to ring them up separately. It is a built in fraud action they take. They also have to ask if I am buying them for myself ( not the stranger texting me).

10:53am by PrincipalTinker

Some Dollar Generals have a total daily limit on gift card sales. Two near me can only sell $2000 in gift cards per day to prevent fraud and employer theft

10:56am by Elaine5715

I think it had to do with activating the gift card on their end. Makes sense from a scam perspective to have a built-in safeguard.

11:01am by utang44

Yes, they said most people don't spend $450 at dollar general.

11:31am by matterhorn55

Thanks for the tip! I just bought 2 cards, separate transactions and had to use 2 different credit cards because of the fraudulent warning. Might stop by later and just use my debit card.

11:32am by QueenOfHearts

My Visa cards got tagged as possible fraud as well. Ended up using my BofA debit card but then noticed that I had gotten a fraud text from Visa that I could have overrode. Sigh. Bought 2 $500 cards in one transaction.

12:02pm by Sorcerers_Apprentice

Got one more $500 card, and that'll do me for now. I used my debit card on all the purchases, guessing that's why nothing was flagged.

12:08pm by utang44

Huh I got 5 this morning. One transaction and used rewards CC and went right thru. Using my rewards for Yak & Yeti GC.

12:33pm by tritc63674

My local store did actually have them! Wasn't on the online flyer, but they had a sign in-store.

1:16pm by RememberWhen

Thanks for updates! I'll stop at DG on our way home

1:42pm by Ali Ababwa

Woo hoo! $1500 in cards for $1350. They hadn't heard about it and the cards weren't marked down in the display, but it rang up correctly! Plus $13.50 in Disney Visa dollars!

2:51pm by Ali Ababwa

This was right after DD met a nice new endocrinologist who talked about WDW with her for 20 minutes.

2:53pm by Ali Ababwa

Did three purchases for 2 $500 cards each on my cc and had no problems. Today only.

3:06pm by JodiF

Woo hooo again! I called in and I'm paid in full for my lodging at my next 3 WDW visits, and part of a 4th, at the 10% discount and without risk of holding onto these cards for more than 75 minutes!

3:56pm by Ali Ababwa

Thank you so much to @tritc63674 for posting about this and for saving me $163 today, and for the rest of you who confirmed availability!

3:58pm by Ali Ababwa

@Ali make sure you hold on to the empty gift cards. If for some unfortunate reason you need to cancel a trip the refund needs to go back in the card used.

4:08pm by Bubbakirby

Ahhh thank you, good point! I'll keep them stashed right here on my desk just in case.

4:13pm by Ali Ababwa

@ Ali you are more than welcome. Glad this worked for everyone.

4:51pm by tritc63674

@Ali- glad that all worked!

Touring plans says I can do Tron exactly at 9am, if we get on line at 8:30am. And the BTM would be a 12 minute wait at 9:12 on May 15th. Could that be real? ILL is saying I will only get it for 9:30pm if I log on tomorrow at 7am. What's the best approach?

7:32pm by KidaniMom

I think there is no way you can be in line for BTMR at 9:12 if you are on the Tron ride vehicle at 9.

7:35pm by melcort10

Both. Rope drop Tron, walk like crazy to BTM (I find that 12 min wait hard to believe though. Totally opposite side of park and new headliner that just reopened). But Tron after dark is also really fun. So we would do Tron at both rope drop and 9 30pm.

7:36pm by Jennyhirsch

Good point. We won't get across the park by 9:12. The plan says we will be done with Tron at 9:01 and it's an 11 min walk. That's not happening. We were onlygoing to get LL to make sure we can get BTT without waiting forever but if it's so late, not sure

7:57pm by KidaniMom

Ohhhhh, BTM is the late return. I thought Tron. Can you buy ILL for Tron and rope drop BTM?

8:23pm by Jennyhirsch

I finally got my reservation for breakfast 1 at Cinderellas table! Now I just need to decided if I actually feel comfortable dining there alone. So many trips but I've never been in the castle

Why not? If it's a bucket list do it.

Maybe I'll just chat with people here while I am there so I feel less weird LOL

9:20am by VikeQueen

@vike- I see you on this. FWIW, as someone who did a three-hr princess dining experience solo (not at CRT so don't worry, lol), it helped me to pregame a question for each princess I was going to meet. After a bit, that part was fun. I also...

9:35am by JERancher

...always had stuff on my phone to do while eating (Lines for sure, and I'm a NYT Wordle and crossword puzzle fan). Just a couple of thoughts, from an introverted gal who has eaten solo at Disney solo a whole lot. And the castle is def worth seeing!

9:37am by JERancher

I did Artists Point solo - I just asked Snow White right away for a picture, and I think she figured out quickly I wasn't looking for a long chat. I'm the same way with face characters when my kids aren't there, but eating in the castle would be amazing!

9:38am by daisylover78

Go for it! I've done Tusker House, Garden Grill and H&V solo - lean in to the fun and the magic and it will be great.

10:04am by njhyndman

I've eaten there solo before. The princesses will stop by and say hi but if you don't feel like carrying on a conversation they will pick up on that and move on. Or they will answer all the questions you have :) Have a great time!

10:23am by cdlla

I asked Ariel if the ship she was searching with Flounder at the beginning of her film was from Arendelle. After skipping a beat when she understood what I was asking, she gave a cheerful non-answer.

7:14pm by cobia

Give yourself one quick line to use with each character. That'll spark a little quick back & forth and then she'll move on. For instance I would tell Mary Poppins I'm a bit cross, as I haven't heard from her in ever so long.

8:23pm by cigar95

Has anyone heard or been offered the lower price annual passes? I heard they are piloting a 400 discount on certain annual passes and am very interested to see if they will actually do this!

No, that has been rumored by some blogs, but isn't anything real at this point.
