Hi! We are passing though Orlando and would like to stop at Downtown Disney. What parking lot is the best to park in? We have only used Disney transportation in the past.

Always like the orange garage. Right in the middle of the action.

First I love that you said Downtown as it's now Disney Springs. We still think of it by the old name. Are you coming from I4? There's a specific exit that will direct you to orange I believe. I typically the older way like you are going to Epcot resorts*

** but instead turn to Disney Springs. I like Lime garage for a more central location

Any insight into August/Sept crowd levels? Trying to decide to go in mid-late Aug or over labor day weekend. Seems like labor day has lower crowd prediction but they seemed equivalent in 2025. Anyone know why 2026 crowds in Aug would be higher?
10:32am on 5/28/26 by
Probably just TP's recalculation of the scale. Late August, early September are gloriously low crowd times to go. We visited during that time frame often. Labor Day is late this year, so more visitors might be coming the last week of August, first week...

...of September (compared to last year) since lots of NorthEast USA schools start after Labor Day. PA, NJ, NY, New England and Michigan seem to be the core travelers that time of year (based upon unofficial HoopDeDoo representation).

^This is a geography measurement technique that doesn't get talked about enough, @gmcc!

We have a history of going these weeks. It is HOT but we love the crowd levels!

12 days away.. charged MB+ from 2024. Only 1/4 will pair with app. Didn't have any problems last time. Thoughts?
5:26pm on 6/2/26 by
I had to take one of our MB+ to guest services to get them to fix it. I was worried they wouldn't be able to, but they did. It didn't charge or show on the app. Turns out GS did something and it was fine. Had charged and everything.
1:57am by
You might to reset it. We had issues in our last trip. Disney chat was able to troubleshoot for us. I'd chat them.
8:04am by
We've had issues charging/resetting our MB+ from '23 several times recently. Very similar to other comments. Never thought about chatting or taking to GS. Might need to do that next time. I figured they were just nearing their end of life.

Are the stores on Main Street open during the deluxe evening hours on Wednesday night?
7:27am by
Yes or at least this was the case in December

4 adults and a kid just turning 3. We will be getting LLMP, but with the kind of trip we're taking (less thrills, more shows and vibes), is it worth fussing with things like BG1, waitmagic, standby skipper etc? Some of us will rope drop.
8:54pm on 6/2/26 by
Thanks everyone!!

Did a chill/vibes trip with LL recently. Loved having Wait Magic book new LL after the first 3. Learning curve to get started but found it much easier than MDE. Was worth the $ for me (as the one who books the LLs!)
6:45am by
BG1 is all I need. Only takes seconds to book a new LL after using one, a little longer to fiddle faddle if looking for specific times. Just makes booking easier, without extra cost.

We currently have the QS Dining Plan (family of four, two kids ages 4 and 7). Trip is Aug 19-25. Still be hot. It's only 400 to upgrade to the TS version. Looking at TS menus it seems like 2 meals is getting close to that number.
10:39pm on 6/2/26 by
Then count in the 30-40$ tip on all those sit downs. Even though your meals are included you still have to tip and those character meals add up. Even in August with ac our appetite would have been a waste. You know your family best though.
11:32pm on 6/2/26 by
we don't drink and I upgraded to regular DP. The kids have benefited from a place to sit down and rest as well as get to eat and meet characters. CRT would be a perfect place to use 2 of those credits. But as said those tips do add up . Fantasmic dining
5:43am by
Package to see characters. But with everything it's difficult to do everything and makes Lightning lanes more difficult to manage.

^^ 3 BB reservations per adult on the original reservation. So two adults = six ressies, if needed.

Ok, just googled that phase. Sorry - like many things , 65 years olds should google phrases they haven't heard in years before using them m.

Someone on disboards who appeared to know way more about computers than I (which isn't hard) suspected Disney was trying to keep out bots but whatever they were trying was keeping out everyone.
