"What's cookin'?" Pre-trip fridge clean out dinner tonight. Grilled cheese with thick cut bacon on excellent local Italian bread. Broccoli with cheese sauce on the side. Apple & cherry Paczki for dessert. What are your midweek meal ideas?

Chicken tortilla soup and rolls for us.

Meatball subs, using frozen meatballs. Easy and yummy!

Sam's Club enchiladas. Very yummy after a 5.7 mile walk. I was starving.

Do you have experience with staying in the Gran Destino tower at Coronado? I'm wondering if we need to have a car or if we can make do with Disney transportation. Any recent experience?
4:37pm by
No, you don't need a car IMO. The busses work just fine.
4:43pm by
Buses work just fine for Gran Destino. I always fly and I've never had my own car at Disney. We've always relied exclusively on Disney transportation.
5:01pm by
Thanks! Good to hear your experience.
5:11pm by
The only time it really helps to have a car is when traveling to a different resort. Uber is available but cabs are virtually nonexistent.

Opinions on MK Dessert Party? Thinking of purchasing a post dessert party to get a better viewing spot. How close are you to the castle?

Very glad we did seats and treats on a rainy night. They moved all tables back from the railing so everyone stayed dry and still had a decent view.
11:50am by
For DH & me we'd choose the garden pre or post. Likely will book seated for May to allow in-laws to sit down & risk the poorer view. Planning on turning up with a 60th wedding anniv table centre decoration in the hope Cm will be kind & put us at front.
3:13pm by
Drop off your centerpiece early, "so you don't have to carry it in the park" and "to surprise them." Gives the CMs time to make magic happen.

So my trip has been extended 1 more night due to weather ( I made the choice to fly to DFW Tuesday instead of Monday). Booked a quick room at the Coronado Springs. Excited to stay somewhere new.

Good luck getting home @Mary

Finally made it home. Had no idea it was day 2 of SW doing assigned seating. I kinda liked it. Less anxiety and I booked myself on my preferred aisle seat.
3:14pm by
Hooray!

Going to after hours at HS tonight. Just realized that fantastic occurs during this event, 30 min after regular park close. Does it make sense to go to the show during this time?
3:53pm by
If you haven't seen it, otherwise I'd be all about the rides while everyone else is in the theater :)
3:57pm by
If you spent money on after hours, maximize rides! I'd only switch plans if my favorite rides shut down and I had to shift gears to make my party happy.

My SW flight just got delayed two hours to 8:30pm out of DCA. It's hard not to freak out that it's going to cancel. I'm kicking myself for not just spending the airline miles it would have taken to get us out ahead of the storm. Please send pixie dust!
2:13pm by
Awwww I love this. Glad you got exactly what you needed.
2:57pm by
Absolutely agree with @jenny that Flight aware is atGE app to have in travel days. Shows you exactly where your plane is. I often know of delays before my airline tells me.

Your plane is landing in 51 minutes. Looks like departure is now 7:33? You are good to go!!!

Has anyone seen the announcements about Disney banning third party vendors who provide services at resorts?? Photographers, beauty services, etc... lots in the Ear for Us group impacted. It's very sad and disheartening. As a (New England) photographer..
8:28pm on 1/27/26 by
Looks like you're right @utang, after looking more into it myself I agree.
4:57pm by
Where is this being reported? I've been waiting to see a wild Inside the Magic headline but have only seen this here.
5:16pm by
@Melcort, the letter is posted on Reddit and apparently the FB page for the Ear to Each Other group is talking about it as it effects many of their members.

How does the dining plan work for split stays on the switchover day? Is it a huge hassle if you need to use credits from the first plan on your switchover day?
12:11pm by
We didn't have issues with it earlier this month
3:08pm by
In this scenario, assuming it makes sense, we'd be doing 2 plans (1 each night) and would like to use both snack credits at F&G booths midday on the switchover day but not sure if that would work relatively easily.
3:09pm by
The only time it's almost made financial sense for me was for half of a short split stay.

Did Disney World stop where you have to make a reservation for each park day
12:23pm by
Exactly! It's so frustrating for me as an AP. Half onsite is one link and the offsite is a separate link. Grrrrrr
4:15pm by
Yeah, military tickets are undated so they still have to have reservations. Such a pain and it seems pretty pointless to me. Surely they aren't that surprised that a bunch of military families suddenly swarm EPCOT.
4:43pm by
I changed my APR park at DS right before we drove over. Other than Disney knowing im coming that day, how does it help them? I can't see it helping balance park attendance either.
33 min ago by
DH & I each scored a 1 person reservation for Geo-82 at 8:15 PM. Assume that means bar seating, as there were no ADRs for 2 available? Hope we can see some of the FW and that we can sit together!
2:03pm by
I'd show up a few minutes early together and tell them you have two ADRs but want to sit together. Let them know if you have a table or bar preference. It all depends on what's available then. It isn't a reservation in the sense that they have x table
41 min ago by
waiting for you. ADRs are instead estimates of how many people that place can handle in a given time frame.
