Rider swap times for Guardians and Tron are way off on touring plans. By like 30+ minutes
2:42pm on 7/19/26 by
The rider swap at the loading area definitely makes much more sense. There's very little I think uni does better but that's one.

We didn't ever use RS much- but for me I wld love if they'd give you a choice if to swap at loading area-which is quick but means taking non rider thru the line, boring & poss scary. Or go into LL line after so you can do something extra w non rider.

Depending on the day there are pluses to both. We did swap out DS7 at tot as he was terrified of it- they wanted him to go thru the line-it's the preshow that scared him most so not a good option.

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.

I just used better twice in one post. That's how I feel about lumberton.

And I live in Houston which is horrible. Don't move here either. But I do have lots of great Texas towns which are amazing.

Actually you used better twice in one sentence- lol We get the message!

Good morning all you wonderful liners out there! I have a BB question. I have reserved a Polar Patio for our up coming trip. I am trying to find if there is a check in grace period or if when I check in doesn't matter. I booked this a a surprise......
3:24am by
So the fam doesn't know about it. I do not really care where they put us, but also do not want to miss out and get charged for it. We most likely will not be there at open as we are getting in late the night b4 and will not be off site on arrival....
3:26am by
The DW wants to sleep in and then check in to GDT and then go to BB around 11:30-12. Would we be ok to do this, strictly from the Polar Patio perspective? I can not find anything on Disney's website about this.

Is the Skybridge from BLT to main tower reopened? I am getting conflicting info. Thanks!
1:48pm on 7/21/26 by
Following. I had no idea it was closed. That's a big inconvenience
10:11pm on 7/23/26 by
I was there on Monday, and it was open then.

Liners, Beaches & Cream tips please. I tried booking 2pm lunch for 4ppl in August. It was full. We picked a 3:40 resy & keep watching for drops. I signed up to get alerts. What are the odds of it opening up or going early & getting in on the walk up list?
1:11pm on 7/20/26 by
I listened to a podcast recently about a family of 5 I think that only had to wait 10 minutes when wait list said 25. They were seated at the counter and enjoyed watching the cast members create the ice cream dishes.
1:25pm on 7/22/26 by
We'd be cool with sitting at the counter. It's helpful to know ahead of time that could be the case. We'll keep trying to get in earlier through a resy drop or just use the walk up list.
9:53pm on 7/23/26 by
Yes we did walk up list once. Counter seating was fun!
11:17pm on 7/23/26 by
Tomorrow is when I can start to book my LL's. Can I get a sneak peak at what' LL & times are available today? Tks
2:11pm on 2/26/26 by
The BG1 set up page is linked on this thread. The top info is there.
12:36pm on 7/20/26 by
@Crispy, this is an old thread.

Does the 7-day LLMP window not apply to DVC reservations? I have July 31 reservations at Polynesian but the app says I can't book until July 28.
10:33am on 7/23/26 by
I had to call too. When my wait-list came thru, my girls showed up as the default blue circles with their names for the entire res. I didn't get the pop-up to match them up to my friends and family. CM had to do it for me.
1:15pm on 7/23/26 by
Appreciate all the help. I was able to resolve via chat, clearly something they needed to fix.
10:05pm on 7/23/26 by
Call and have them fix it

"What's cookin'?" Busy day here for both DW and I. She's going to swing by a speciality Italian shop and find something for us to enjoy. What are your Thursday evening dinner plans?
5:50pm on 7/23/26 by
Smoking some country style pork ribs. Sweet corn and black beans for sides.
6:36pm on 7/23/26 by
I had a busy day with my 83 year old mom who still lives independently but needs more and more support. And she lives an hour from me. But I still managed to make a tasty baked chicken thigh dish with corn on the cob and quinoa. Is it bedtime yet? ;)
7:53pm on 7/23/26 by
Salmon, zucchini, asparagus, potatoes and garlic bread
8:04pm on 7/23/26 by
Brats, green beans from the garden, baked beans, watermelon & cucumbers. S'mores for dessert. Cleaning out the fridge as we near the end of our camping trip.
10:33pm on 7/23/26 by
D23 is coming in a few weeks so maybe we'll know for sure, but what are your thoughts on when Indy and Encanto will open? I'm thinking by the summer perhaps, but who knows.
4:58pm on 7/23/26 by
No idea but I'd love to hear some guesses. I'll be in Orlando in July and October, so my guess is that it opens in November. Hahha hope I'm wrong!!
8:44pm on 7/23/26 by
@len and Jim seem to have a good idea based on their Disney Dish episodes. I think they've said late 2027.
9:51pm on 7/23/26 by
By the way...welcome to chat @caurillio.

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
6:08pm on 7/23/26 by
HS is also challenging bec there are so many popular rides but definitely prioritize the rides that dont have drops and save one slot for drops. BG1 and some research a must. Single rider or rider swap when possible
9:35pm on 7/23/26 by
And just try to focus on priorities. Will be hard to hit everything esp if you end up having to do standby. There are so many shows and others offers just maximize those as well
9:36pm on 7/23/26 by
You can absolutely hit tron and 7D if those are your priorities - you will just have tradeoffs eleswhere
