12 days an nothing packed?? Young and carefree is lovely :) Hope they have a great trip. How can you not if you are going to Ireland???

5:44pm by aliceinwonderla

At 19, and has more passport stamps than me at 48. This is such an amazing opportunity for them, one of the girls is from Ireland and they are staying with family and bouncing back and forth btw Dublin, Belfast and Amsterdam.

Yes: passport, converter, contacts, meds, and credit cards. I think she's set!

We got bbq takeout. I had a pulled pork sandwich, mashed sweet potatoes with pecans, and a kale and apple salad. And a spicy margarita. We ate while FaceTiming with DS26 and his GF.

If I get the cheapest SW credit card, that gets me free checked bags I believe. Does it also get me free chioce of seats or do I have to pay for them?

Priority also allows you to pick extra legroom seats still left at 48 hours out, but I'm betting remaining seats like that will be rare for popular flights like MCO and MIA like I tend to fly.

7:10pm by JJT (staff)

Same @JJT. Although my kids are leaving in May before me and I'm frustrated I can use my points to book them but doesn't look like I can upgrade their seats.

Same here, @popup. Frustrating.

Howdy Liner Pals! My ADR time is coming up once again. Ideally, We are looking to do a 10:15 WAT. 2 questions 1-Which time is best? We can be flexible. 2-Were you able to book your preferred time in the morning instead of midnight? Thanks!

8:15am by IMarriedMyEllie

Bump for WAT help.

54 min ago by MicheleandtheBeast

Chose 11:45 time for Jan and Mar WAT tours last year, that allowed time to do some rides before, also they want you to checkin at least 15 min before. I would book right at midnight-dates and times go really fast especially during busy time of year.

While we have a hearing aid thread around- my dmil is very deaf. Do any of the shows in the parks, or on DCL(Wish) have loop system set up?

Good a question also any recommendations for OTC hearing aids?

7:36am on 1/10/26 by 58breezy

Bump for @hodg!

8:15am on 1/10/26 by TumbleMonkeys

I'm pretty sure there is some sort of hearing aid assist - I'll try Disney chat closer to trip amd GS when there if can't find out ahead. She's found loop systems really help eg at radio city w a device, & a built in system in local cathedral at Xmas.

1:34pm on 1/10/26 by hodg

Interested in this as well. Was not even aware it existed and sounds like it could be useful for my friend who wears hearing aids.

2:02pm on 1/10/26 by WDWJabberwock

They do! It's a $25 refundable deposit. Uses a standard headphone jack, they recommend you bring your own headphones. Here's the list of attractions. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/

3:28pm on 1/10/26 by popupcamper

That link didn't keep my assistive listening filter on.

3:29pm on 1/10/26 by popupcamper

@58 breezy, I got loops for Christmas. They aren't heating aids but help me in crowds. Restaurants, parties, etc. I don't wear hearing aids although my audiologist suggests them. But when it's quiet and I'm facing the speaker I'm fine. They're only $50ish

3:31pm on 1/10/26 by popupcamper

@popup, could you post a description or a link for the loops? I'm not sure what they are, and they sound like something I could use.

6:06pm on 1/10/26 by diannaa

Thanks @popup- will read that thru tomoro. We'll need to get her some headphones or steal some gaming ones from my boys. She'll look great with a full gaming headset & mic in the parks.

6:18pm on 1/10/26 by hodg

Do you have to collect a device from GS for each park?

6:21pm on 1/10/26 by hodg

@hodg, you have to return it at the end of the day but I don't know if you need to return it if hopping. I haven't used yet, I just looked into it. I hear well enough to get by at the moment so haven't tried.

6:54pm on 1/10/26 by popupcamper

@dianna, I haven't used yet the switch 2. There's literally switches on it to change how it works. I dont understand it but somehow it blocks background noise but lets me hear people near me. I've worn them dancing and could hear people at my table and...

6:56pm on 1/10/26 by popupcamper

...at restaurants. I'll try them at the next party I go to too. I know one person without hearing loss who got them to block sound at concerts to protect their hearing. They have lots of different kinds for different purposes. https://us.loopearplugs.com/

6:57pm on 1/10/26 by popupcamper

My first sentence didn't make sense. I HAVE the Switch 2.

6:58pm on 1/10/26 by popupcamper

Thank you!

8:12pm on 1/10/26 by diannaa

So this is a loop thing you carry with you? Does it work w hearing aid too? That might be an extra thing that could help her other places.

6:33am by hodg

You mean loop ear plugs? Don't really get what they are meant to do! But couldn't use with a hearing aid in your ear I presume

6:37am by hodg

Yes loop ear plugs and no they are for us who aren't quite ready for hearing aids, and people who want to block sound. Yes the assistive device is a thing to carry around. I don't think it works with hearing aids. You would take them out like on a tour.

8:44am by popupcamper

My DD gave me loop for Christmas. I'm not entirely sure where I am intended to wear them? We don't frequent noisy restaurants or spaces. Don't work for the tv. Maybe she wants for our trip in Aug so I don't keep saying- what did she say?!?

9:35am by Magicalday2011

When we did Ellis island the regular audio tour was no good for dmil. She got a special one for hard of hearing and cld hear it well. Think she kept her hearing aids in. We'll check it out anyway and I'll report back how it goes.

10:37am by hodg

Thinking we can send them to GS at EE time while DH & I go ride sonething they won't do, like GotG, then rejoin them.

10:38am by hodg

Looks like they have both assistive listening devices and handheld captioning devices. Interesting to read about what they offer to help those who have hearing challenges.

10:40am by utang44

I found this video that explains a little but haven't found a video of someone actually using it. My momma and I are going in April, she wears hearing aids. Maybe we can test it out and let you know. https://youtu.be/TgBM5va3NpA?si=eF2ngZxSDcCsrQkR

10:50am by popupcamper

I don't think she'll cope with the glasses!

10:54am by hodg

It looks like it might be able to go directly to her hearing aid depending on the ability of her hearing aids. But I can't tell for sure. I'll have my momma test it if no one else has by then.

10:57am by popupcamper

That'd be great.

11:45am by hodg

She has nhs digital heating aids- so will be a basic digital. Don't think they will have any fancy linking capabilities. But sounds like there will be things to help her.

11:47am by hodg

Make sure those hearing aids aren't anywhwere near trail mix.

Is this another DM saga?

6:16pm by hodg

@hodg, DSM thought her hearing aids were trail mix and ate them.

7:46pm by trishr.

Pretty sure you and DSM need to book a last minute trip to join us in April. We need to get her together with my momma.

Morning, liners! Talk to me about Gideons. Seems like I don't hear about it here much vs how much I see it on social media. Maybe because Liners don't like waiting in lines! What's your strategy for going? And do you think it's worth it? Thanks!

8:38am by TumbleMonkeys

collapse thread

I personally wasn't a big fan of their cookies the one time we tried them but I'd probably give them another shot if the line wasn't too long. Hopefully someone has some good tips. I do think they're worth trying, I just prefer thinner/chewier cookies.

8:43am by HalfBludPrincess

I love Gideons but my entire family cannot eat dairy. I am only able to get them during long trips or solo trips. I just wait in line those times lol

8:46am by KLuck

We love them! I buy the max allowed and fill my freezer. I think weekday lines are shorter and obviously the earlier the better. I've gone around 2-3 and only waited 15 minutes. If you go at night you could give your number then go eat dinner.

8:49am by melcort10

My strategy is to go during the week when they open. There is a line but you will only wait about 20 minutes at the most. I bring them home and put them in the freezer so I can eat them until my next trip. We think they're delicious.

9:32am by polypack

The one time we went in Feb 2022 arrived 3p waited 20m. Went to Sanuk shop before being called back. It's a giant cookie. Took me 4 days to eat 1. Would do again if around that area and short wait

9:33am by Magicalday2011

Thanks! So sometimes it's a line. But when you have to put your name down, do you have to return as soon as you're called or you lose your spot?

9:40am by TumbleMonkeys

There is a generous return window! Then you wait in line which in my experience has been 10-20 mins.

9:45am by imfluffy

Oof! But thank you!

9:47am by TumbleMonkeys

I think if the physical line is over 30 minutes then they go to the virtual line. The whole length of the wall is probably 20 minutes of wait time. When you get the text I think you have 15 minutes but I checked my actual texts and it doesn't say.

9:50am by melcort10

Looking at my past texts, the estimated waits have been pretty accurate. So you should be able to plan.

9:51am by melcort10

Thanks @mel!

10:01am by TumbleMonkeys

The coffee cake cookie is life changing! It's only available in the mornings and sells out quickly

10:33am by LaurenInWonderland

It's a love it or meh kind of cookie. My dh LOVES them has our freezer stocked. I don't like them at all. So I don't touch them. Line is outrageous to me.

11:00am by Crazycatlady3

There is also "hot cookie hour" from 7-8 but it's next to impossible to time. You just have to be lucky.

11:13am by melcort10

Gone a few time with my teens- midweek opening hours. They like to do TikTok reviews of them :) they are yummy and coffee is tasty

11:24am by Gusgus5

I tried it for the first time in September.... They had a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie that was amazing.... The others I tried were good

12:21pm by molly99

My entire family loves them: I do not. DD30 loves the hot cookie hour. However, the CM gave her 2 spoons and she intended not to share. I go for the delicious coffee.

It also has a really cool aesthetic. You should check it out at least once!

2:35pm by FriendsWithTheMonster

I used to be lukewarm on Gideon's. Cookies good but not as good as Levain, say. But then I tried the sweet ice coffees and now it is a must must must must go! Never waited more than 10 min or so on a weekday mid morning

50 min ago by mma.bla@gmail.com

With said sweet coffees being paired with a cookie, of course. Perfection!

Great evening lined up. Started with checking in to CC, GP for lite dinner. Bus to Epcot. Have multi pass, FEA,Remy, SDD and MMRR all lined up. Now to see if we can actually pull all this off!

FEA and Remy are probably expired and in the 2-hr grace period window.

7:25pm by HalfBludPrincess

But you can't book the second park until you've used a LL in the first no? Unless some were already used and I missed that part

7:36pm by LaurenInWonderland

She was in the parks this morning, so likely started stacking then.
