Our first park day is 5/28. Normally for just me and DH I dont buy LL.. But we want to see all the new rides. Problem is, even 7 days out the availability stinks for the new stuff. What would you do? My LL day is tomorrow.. BTMR is already at 7:30pm.

I'm planning: 5/28: Ep 5/29 MK 5/30: HS Other ride priorities are new muppets, soarin, buzz etc. all hard to get right now.

If you want BTMR, do MK first. I did and was able to grab that one. Take a look at ThrillData to see whether the Epcot priority or HS priority has advanced further, time-wise, and do that day next.

And by "do," I mean book that day first.

Any chance you could RD any of these, @skemp? And do you have hoppers?

Aargh. Got a Stakeout alert for a BBB reservation for my niece. Was at the final step of making the reservation and it told me that they couldn't complete my transaction at that time. Guess I was 0.05 seconds slow to the draw.

So annoying! Keep trying! People do shift plans last min

That's so frustrating. I hadn't heard of that particular service, do they text you when there's availability? Pixie dust you can get another one!

Yep, @youcan. It's an app that sends both app notifications and texts. Think I had to pay a small amount for the texts. I have really liked it; got several reservations with those alerts.

Thanks! Downloading the app now.

I have the dining plan. Is the Fantasia Dining redemption for 1 table service worth it on a 3 crowd day? I'm not sure what the crowds are like on these days for the show.

And the sliced ham at the WDW buffets is always superb, not something I usually order or make at home but I wish I had their recipe (and commercial ovens).
10:55am by
There was a time (a decade ago) you could ask a Cm waiter for a recipe and it would be in your email by the time you got home. But now there are so many sites that try to copy WDW recipes, I bet you could find it with a little googling.

I have an ADR at H&V on my solo trip in June just for fun before Fantasmic, NOT the linked dinner thing so I can cancel easily if running late. More fun solo than my usual Brown Derby.

We are doing Universal first part of our trip and then moving to WDW. Planning to attend water park on transfer day and hit MK for nighttime extra hours. Would it be too much to do carriage ride at FW that day? We are staying at contemporary.
9:06am by
For me, that would be too much especially since I think I would still want to see the nighttime parade and HEA before extra hours but you might have different priorities.

Water park days out in the Florida sun can be exhausting. I don't plan anything more than a nap after those.
12:32pm by
Yes. That sounds like too much.

Yeah that's what my husband said. I am chronic over planner, so I needed to hear this from others. Thank you.

I think I saw this posted earlier, but can anyone confirm that MNSSHP tickets and/or LL count towards the $200 ticket purchase to get the statement credit for the Disney Inspire card? Trying to use gift cards for some and need to see how much to charge.
9:17pm on 5/19/26 by
Spent the 200 on LL and 2 weeks later received 100 credit in my account
9:11am by
Perfect - thank you! Trying to put as little as I can on the card so I can use my gift card, but I want my statement credit! :)
9:28am by
Will this work if you already have the other Disney visa and charged tickets but still open the new card?

Anyone know anything about the bourbon experience at Polite Pig? Looks like they had one last year and they are doing it again. I just booked for DH and I on June 17. Only problem is I purchased our after 4 convention tickets for MK. But I'm excited to***

*** do this! Our last dining experience was when F&W had the tequila one at La Hacienda and we loved it.

Renting a car what are the gas prices in Orlando by universal/disney ??? Debating if I buy gas from them or the gas station
12:17pm on 5/19/26 by
Most cars are 50 miles before they start to show gas missing. Even my Smart Car. In this case size does not matter. I always get a car and I always fill up on 192 the night before or in DTD. Never been a problem.
10:14am by
They have always correctly checked the gas gauge and printed a receipt for me at dropoff. I'm happy to pay another $10-$20 for their gas upcharge as a convenience fee, it's negligible in the context of a WDW trip.
10:51am by
Fuel is so cheap compared to U.K. that it's all negibible to us anyway! We filled up near the crossroads then drove to airport and it was considered full ok.

Anyone have issues with 2 year old magic band +'s? I can't get them to reset or pair for anything
9:09pm on 5/19/26 by
Especially since the implied benefit was they would last longer since you could charge them.
7:18am by
New MagicBands-plus are $35, I've always felt they offer enormous convenience and time savings, and the cost is negligible in the context of a WDW trip. I keep backup old ones in my luggage just in case.
11:09am by
Typical of new cell phones. 2 year battery life then they die so you have to buy a new one. I find the free plastic key cards from the front desk to work just as well. Don't need to spend $$ on a thousand pics and videos.

A couple days into our trip and we already have 15 items for our shenkel list. I'll fill them in later but a couple highlights- 1. Loved our first meal at Skippers Canteen!
8:17pm on 5/15/26 by
@jenny i could be wrong, but i think that walkway gets closed bc of the Electrical Water Pageant. Drawbridge opens for boats to go out onto the lake, then opens again to let them back in. So timing might be tied to that schedule.
9:15am by
Agree with @alice. It's about EWP not FW.
12:38pm by
Yep the EWP lives in the little inlet between GF & MK. They had it sitting outside of MK as the fireworks ended 10-10.30ish so the walkway would be closed through that time I guess.

Can I go to Disney springs and take the bus to the poly with out resort reservations? I want a dole whip and go resort viewing. I'm staying off site.
11:22am by
Yes, it was only restricted during Easter week.
11:30am by
You can also Lyft/Uber to TTC and walk.
