Flying in a night early to miss the Texas winter storms. Need to book a hotel for 1 night. Would you rather stay at 1) Hyatt Grand Cypress 2) Gaylord Palms or 3) Hyatt at the airport. Flight scheduled to land 9:30 pm. Next day is flexible as to plans.

Hi @cobia. I'm in Austin as well.

Cool! My office is in Austin but actually live on the north shore of Lake Travis

Ok. Yall were right. Got here about 10:30 tonight after a slightly delayed flight because someone had to retrieve their laptop from their checked luggage! What?!

Any experienced DVC owners who have rented points/confirmed reservations: what do you think is better? I have these expiring bonus points and not sure if I should offer them for rent or book a reservation and try to rent the confirmed reservation?
10:12am by
I agree with @mel, it's tough to get a DVC res this close. Confirmed is better in this circumstance.

Amazing to have @JJT weigh in on this with price point! What did we do to deserve him?!

Nice.

Hey Everybody! It's official! We are taking our family of 28 on a Disney Cruise! Does TP have an app for Disney Cruises? If not, where is the best place to research? It's been 17 years since we've been on a Disney cruise!
9:00pm by
We've done 19 DCL cruises, happy to answer any questions. Never done a group of 28 though, that is amazing!!
10:25pm by
Agree with the Unofficial Guide or Forum recommendations. How fun!
10:25pm by
Fun @kelsea! We just booked for extended fam of 7, so not quite as large of a group. 15 years since my last and only DCL! Also sceambling to research...

NDR: Snowmageddon 2026 post. My BIL is meteorologist in Shreveport, LA. He is not one to hype every storm up like TWC people sometimes do. He actually messaged me today and suggested buying essentials. Said we could get up to 14 inches in central Arkansas

@wdw ocd. I cheered myself up today with lunch out and then In Park videos on YouTube!

I feel compelled to add that back in my high school days, we used school cafeteria trays for sleds at lunchtime. No making of sleds needed. :)

@magicalday What a great idea, much better than my sulking!

"What's cookin'?" Baked garlic Parmesan chicken thighs, buttered broccoli and stovetop stuffing. Dessert looks to be a little bit of ice cream. What are your Thursday menus please!
4:45pm by
Leftover chili and cornbread muffins. Chocolate cake for dessert.
7:29pm by
Leftover pork sirloin roast and roasted veggies: carrots, Brussels sprouts, and purple potatoes.
7:50pm by
Crispy Asian shrimp with sesame sauce, jasmine rice and green beans with ponzu.

Hi Liners! What's the best travel phone charger that you recommend?
6:55am by
I have an old Jackery that I still use on RD to close days. But I also use a smaller one for shorter days. Like this https://a.co/d/foRlTnm
7:58pm by
They are mostly the same. I like the ones with the built in cables.
8:01pm by
For in the park, I like fuel rods, too.

Planning on arriving one night early for our trip! Where are your go to off property favorites? It would only be for one night! Thanks in advance!
7:57pm by
Drury looks good. Make sure you compare prices with all added fees when comparing on and off property, though!

Holiday Inn Disney springs was a pleasant surprise when we had a flight cancellation
8:18pm by
Our Go To is the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista on Hotel Plaza Blvd. Usually very reasonable and the closest to Disney Springs. We always stay in the tower. The Garden wing is cheaper, but is more like an attached motel.
9:03pm by
Technically not off property, but we really enjoyed our stay at the Swan! We are also Marriott credit card holders and we were able to get a few nights free.

...named winter storms and had no plans to do so."
3:24pm by
I get the marketing angle, but it's sure a lot easier to say "Enzo" instead of "That time people snow skied on Bourbon Street." Or "Major January Winter Storm."
7:42pm by
Fern, Fern Gully, or Winter Storm...you're going to Disney World!

DL 1st timer~ which rides should we hit first? I made a TP but put all kiddie rides 1st and feeling like headliners should be 1st. Not loving it. Thoughts?
11:23am by
We RDed Rise because it was a 1st time must do for part of our party, and we got to ride it twice. We did skip some kiddie rides because of that (except Mr Toad!) We did LL with BG1 at the time and it worked out great.
4:34pm by
Definitely felt like LLMP and SP were very easy to use there, and cost effective considering MP includes photos. By far the hardest LL to get (and presumably longest wait?) is Guardians so if you only have the one LL for the trip, I'd use it there.
7:04pm by
Go land by land. Even simular rides are different unless it is Astro O.
8:03pm by
LL day tomorrow. Been so long since I only used MDE without any help from BG1. Does Disney let you overlap any LL times.
11:00am by
I believe you have more flexibility overlapping LLs on the day of your visit. BUT ADRs blocked LLs 35 before and 65 after your ADR time.
7:45pm by
I successfully modified every single LL yesterday for my park days 1/31-2/2 in BG1. I took what MDE offered and then used BG1 and was able to modify all. It seems to work best when you click "change" and select a time from that screen. It's still working
7:59pm by
Today and I could have modified more if I wanted to but I'm happy with all my times. Best of luck to you tomorrow. Let us know how it goes!
