Hey everyone! Is there a way to create non-park related plans on this app? I'd like to add water park and resort hopping to my non park days. Thanks in advance! <3

Welcome to chat. Touring Plans and Lines purpose is to help reduce the amount of time you wait in Line. If you are just resort hopping or having a non park day there really are no "lines" others may give you ideas of optimizing water parks

I use Wanderlog for all trip planning so you can use that to schedule your days (I wouldn't list out rides) but put date and MK, list meals. You can also add the cost so you can budget

For WP, at least TL do the raft slides first as though build quickly then move to the body slides and save wave pool and lazy river for when it's busy.

I use my ical to make a list with estimated time spent at each Resort. Also iPhone Notes App is great for these notes.

"What's cookin'?" It's a Taco Tuesday! Beef or chicken tacos on the menu tonight. Last of DW's chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Anyone else having a Taco Tuesday?

Ravioli with marinara sauce, plus a spinach arugula salad, and garlic bread.

DH and DDog arrived home after the long drive. We went to his favorite Mexican restaurant, where I had the best empanadas of my life.

Home via Amtrak from NYP. Eggplant Pizza and local ice cream cone. Peanut butter swirl. Places here finally opened for the season

Trying to figure out a god week to go. Last year we went the last week of October to November 1. This year I thought the first week of November to get the Christmas decorations. How bad is Jersey week?
10:07pm on 4/27/26 by
Mine too!! Pending discounts, I'm hoping to squeeze in a November trip this year

@liz- love that. I'll actually be down there with DS10 around then; probably my last WDW trip for a bit. Would love to meet up to say hi if you end up going!
10:32pm on 4/28/26 by
@liz do you recall how soon after Thanksgiving the crowds die down. Saturday or not until Monday maybe?
11:05pm on 4/28/26 by
For anyone who has done it recently, what are the current opinions on the pre vs post dessert party? I'm hoping to grab it for July 4 (or 3 as backup) when our window opens.
11:04am on 4/28/26 by
We're doing post party on Mother's Day. We've done pre party and seats and sweets. Pre party was great, but hated S&S. We're doing post party because that's our arrival day and I want time to enjoy MK before the party!

Thanks all!!

@burfe as of last month strollers were still being parked along the back fence. We hung out on the far left side (facing castle) and were lucky no strollers made it past the center of the back fence!

Thoughts on pros and cons / differences between staying at fort wilderness lodge vs fort wilderness cabins?
10:34am on 4/28/26 by
Having stayed at (and loved) both: the cabins are much, much less conveniently located to the parks and to the hotel's amenities. Almost everyone either brings a car and/or rents a golf cart to get around. We enjoyed it for a non-park trip but..
3:36pm on 4/28/26 by
...I personally would not stay in a Ft Wilderness cabin for a trip where park time is the priority. Wilderness Lodge, on the other hand, has deluxe amenities and great dining within a couple minute walk, with both boats and quick bus rides to the parks.
3:38pm on 4/28/26 by
Cabins also have a full kitchen if you are bringing some of your own meals. I haven't stayed there but planning on it this Nov to try a new resort. Our family loved BR a few years ago and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Last minute score: GF Garden Tea Experience! Any thoughts or reviews? I scuttled a Narcoosee's for this silliness and hoping it's worth it; it looks pretty fun. I'm on the jab and can't eat as much, so little nibbly things are appealing to me!
8:57pm on 4/28/26 by
Please keep us posted on this one! I'd love to see more reviews; it's the thing I'm currently most excited about for my next trip.
10:29pm on 4/28/26 by
Gotta hand it to Len and crew: It's been a year and a half since I had the pleasure of submitting a wait time, and TP prediction of 30 min for MMRR was spot on! Lines subscription is still the best money one can spend on WDW.
4:07pm on 4/28/26 by
It really is a great feeling! I texted DH that I was far more excited than anyone had a right to be when I got on the Disney bus at ASSp. The hour I spent with a pretzel and beer on the patio at Baseline Taphouse at 5pm confirmed my choices.
7:19pm on 4/28/26 by
Agree.
7:21pm on 4/28/26 by
I want a badge for most cancelled attempts at timing my wait because I forget to stop the timer when I get to the ride.
10:22pm on 4/28/26 by
I am booking LLMP for 12 people that are on 2 different MDE accounts. Is it possible to pay for their LLMP on their account and then do my party on mine? Would that take too long? They are a group of 7 and I don't really want to put it all on my cc.
9:20pm on 4/28/26 by
You want to be efficient but it's not like seconds matter the way they did with Genie+. So I think it's very doable. I have helped many friends and family rearrange their LLs after they buy.
10:15pm on 4/28/26 by
If you are managing all 12 at same time, you would be doing so linked as friends and family. Make sure that's sets up ahead of time. If trying to book overlapping as separate parties, I would use two devices and be logged into separate accounts unlinked
10:18pm on 4/28/26 by
That way you don't accidentally try to double book anyone - that could get frustrating. Those are my thoughts. Anyone else w/ experience please chime in if I'm wrong! I know it's tough to manage large parties.

MK dessert post-party question. It says to check in 60 mins before fireworks...that seems like a lot. Will we be ok to check in 30 mins early?
7:56pm on 4/28/26 by
Yes, you will be totally fine
8:33pm on 4/28/26 by
They will recommend that you go get a spot 30 minutes before the fireworks but you don't have to.
9:26pm on 4/28/26 by
The viewing area does get surprisingly full, so don't wait too long.
10:07pm on 4/28/26 by
Just to reassure- if I want to pre-book my LL for my afternoon hopping park, I can still keep my park reservation for the morning park, correct? And the system will only show me afternoon times, leaving out the morning times I don't want anyway, right?
4:32pm on 4/22/26 by
Well my day came yesterday, all went well. I found that for the day where I had made no park reservation at all, I was only shown times after 2pm. (Easily remedied)
12:20pm on 4/27/26 by
Do you have an AP? I'm guessing yes, for me that's one annoying thing that still lingers
2:51pm on 4/27/26 by
Yes, we both have APs. I also have a stray one-day hopper that I need to find a use for someday that will probably also require a reservation.
