For those who park hop right away -how do you make a TP? Do you just estimate the time it takes to get to the second park via Disney transportation, and go from there? I wish there was a feature for adding the second park to our plan .

90 minutes? OMG. Is that walking LOL

9 min ago by gingerbeer

I just put in a "break" titled appropriately for the estimated transit time.

8 min ago by Ali Ababwa

It's always longer thsn you think by the time you walk to exit, wait for bus- unless is SL- get thru security into next park, make your way to ride, stopping for a few photos on the way

Has anyone seen Tron open during early entry recently?

11:20pm on 6/12/26 by dadietr

I believe it only opens early if there is something wrong with space mountain.

Advice on using UK mobile phones in WDW please. Is there Wifi for using this App so we can easily'optimise' our plans when onsite? Or should we think about getting a US Sim?

5:44am by wendy.ahj@gmail.com

WiFi is ok but patchy. Better to have data if you can. I added a bolt on to my virgin/o2 contract as currently dint have USA included. Previously we've used eSim which is easy to get and switch to when travelling. Airolo we used but there are lots options

5:52am by hodg

We were driving so data meant we could use waze too

5:52am by hodg

We just get esims. It doesn't cost much in the scheme of things.

46 min ago by LandDownUnder

I would absolutely get an eSIM. The prices nowadays are so inexpensive. You don't even need a lot of data.

If they're never been I wouldn't do all the parks. It may actually turn them off having that hectic of a schedule.

7:23am by Flutegarden

I agree with @flute; a lot of what sets WDW apart is atmosphere & theming, and that may be overlooked or missed if you're just hustling ride to ride.

If they've never been then pick one park and do it right. Don't waste precious time hopping. Smell the roses a little! They'll definitely have a better time.

We are currently booked at Pop for 9 nights in July. I am starting to get worried about noise as I know rooms are small and walls are paper thin. What about Caribbean Beach? Is that hotel quiet? Or at least noticeably quiter than Pop?

I've never had noise trouble at Pop over several stays in several different buildings, even facing pool from higher story. Recommend sleep sound: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7XSWSFD?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details

12:00pm on 6/12/26 by Ali Ababwa

Any resort can be noisy if your neighbors aren't polite and noise-conscious, but Pop is not noticeably noisier than other resorts. We only ever heard our neighbors when they stood in the doorway with a screaming baby for a while. That's in multiple stays.

12:08pm on 6/12/26 by utang44

Pretty sure the Unofficial Guide notes that the resorts with exterior-facing doors are often quieter than those with interior halls.

12:09pm on 6/12/26 by utang44

Of course it's often just bad luck to get a room next door to the Loud Family with their 7 screaming kids, but most of them won't be in the room for 9 days, so you can outlast them.

12:09pm on 6/12/26 by Ali Ababwa

I've not had problems with noise at pop. You do hear toilets flushing (I've heard that at CBR too) but I've heard various noises at all other classes of resorts across property.

12:10pm on 6/12/26 by JenniferB1975

Thank you all! This is super helpful and is alleviating my fears!!

1:24pm on 6/12/26 by Chrissy-T

Once at AOA (same design as Pop) my niece had an extremely loud room but it was on the first floor outside of the pool. So I'd personally ask for another room if given that. But otherwise as stated I think it's not too bad. I usually ask for top floor.

1:36pm on 6/12/26 by popupcamper

Another voice quietly chiming in that we've not had noise problems at Pop. You should be good! If you encounter major problems address it with the CMs at the front desk.

4:00pm on 6/12/26 by RememberWhen

Well done @Remember.

4:04pm on 6/12/26 by popupcamper

Truthfully, the loudest resort room we have stayed in over the years was at the Poly, and I feel like most of the noise was due to the connecting door.

7:10pm on 6/12/26 by Call me Leota

We have stayed at both and didn't really notice a noise difference.

7:44pm on 6/12/26 by Ange425

Try to get on top floor!!

Never really had noise problems at pop. Gf was honesty worse. I could hear someone snoring!

6:27am by melodicwords

I too have never had an issue at any resort other than GF. Some of those connecting rooms at GF make sleeping a challenge.

7:12am by PrincipalTinker

Loudest room I ever had was a connecting room at BC. The gap between bottom of connecting door and carpet was an inch!

Ok folks. I feel like I have to re-learn the LL strategies all over again for every trip! Was just there in Sept. how hard is the MDE LL process? About to binge the forum posts. 37 days.... Thanks y'all!

Is the best strategy to book the first LL in MDE, then immediately switch to BG1 to book the other 2? If so, do you do this for each park day before you go to the next park day, or do you book multiple park days in MDE before switching over to BG1?

2:58pm on 6/12/26 by jeffg4

It just depends. If MDE presents you with workable times, it's just as easy to roll with them and modify later if needed. I do it that way.

3:01pm on 6/12/26 by utang44

I did all 3 in MDE because it is all right there. When you're done go to BG1 and modified without issues.

Hi there Liners! Had to move our trip in September to June. Countdown 12 days! Our time there MK has a CL of 3 for almost everyday. Is there something going on that I need to be aware of that would make it so low? Or is it just a low time?

It hasn't been crazy busy in summers last few years! Doesn't always mean super short waits though. I've seen them dial back on staffing and run only one side of BTM, for example, bc not a busy time.

9:12pm on 6/12/26 by Jennyhirsch

Mid-June was dead as a doornail last year. Several CL1 days and CL2s for the rest of our nine-day trip. Having LLs will mean you get to really enjoy the stuff with your adorable grandgirl, @SA, and get out of the sticky heat faster!

9:22pm on 6/12/26 by utang44

Summer isn't too crowded due to heat. You'll want those LLs to save yourself from heat.

If you don't have Magicbands, what are you doing with your tickets and room keys? Recommended lanyards? DH isn't convinced Magic bands are worth it for our trip so looking for other options

10:37pm on 6/12/26 by tlrg4488

I bought a multipack of cheap lanyards from Amazon. We go enough that we like MB but it was hard to justify the expense for extended family who weren't planning on another trip.

11:23pm on 6/12/26 by TumbleMonkeys

If you have iPhone you can add them to apple wallet for entry. I believe you can unlock your room with phone also. Not sure how you use at rides I think you tap phone

Our MB+ batteries did die so debiting using MB+ w/o features ot MagicMobile nut do want ride photos

Renters from Alamo at MCO, BEWARE. They used to be so reliable and easy. Not anymore. They use scanners for fuel tank. Leave MCO with 18.2 gallons. We filled up at gas station RIGHT THERE at MCO, but electronic thingie read 16.8 gallons at return.

5:36pm on 6/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

collapse thread

So Alamo automatically charged extra $10ish per their gas fees to top off. I called immediately and Alamo removed surcharge. I dont have electronic scanner and gas station pump said our tank was full. This feels wrong to me.

5:37pm on 6/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

DH even double clicked fuel pump at gas station to be sure topped off. Physically impossible for us to add more gas at station due to their precautions about people overflowing. Feels like Alamo is setting us up for failure.

5:41pm on 6/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

That is so weird. I rented a mid size SUV and filled it near AK. The gauge automatically reset when I filled. I drove to MCO. I was scanned in and there was absolutely no charge. This was Wednesday.

6:22pm on 6/6/26 by PrincipalTinker

They actually commented when they scanned me in on what a great deal I got. Sunday-Wednesday- $113.

6:23pm on 6/6/26 by PrincipalTinker

On May 17 I first noticed bc ran late trying to catch earlier flight, didnt fill up, so I totally deserved/earned the extra $12 for 2 gallons. May 26 had no problem. Today had extra charge despite filling up at last airport exit. Frustrating.

6:38pm on 6/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

I checked my receipt. It says there were 11.1 gallons in my rental when I picked it up and 11.1 gallons when I dropped it off. Maybe I have just been lucky?

7:10pm on 6/6/26 by PrincipalTinker

@Jenny I just checked multiple Alamo receipts. I do see a change in how they are recording/reporting fuel. My receipts all the way up to April show fuel as "full". This week it was 11.1 gallons.

7:36pm on 6/6/26 by PrincipalTinker

Trying to think of where that happened to me - dealership? I literally drove 4 miles and they made me fill up or would have charged.

8:16am on 6/7/26 by moondance07

Multiple rental agencies are using AI to try to squeeze more $ out of people. They are counting on most people letting it slide or not noticing and it is very scammy.

10:14am on 6/7/26 by JJT (staff)

How she's a scanner know how much gas is in the tank?

10:54am on 6/7/26 by vickiwaffles

Hertz, thrifty, dollar and sixt are all scanning the vehicle inside and out. Top tand bottom. Budget, Avis and Payless are f ed up. So where to go. You called and they fixed it. What more would be better.

11:49am on 6/7/26 by JackOfAll

Thanks for heads up. I rent Alamo every two weeks out of MCO to go to mom in Daytona. Fill up at shell McO and not had a problem. I did notice the last bill had 12.1 gal out and 12.1 gal in. Can't be the same amt in/out. Will watch bill closely.

8:23pm on 6/7/26 by MarioMom

Electric cars are probably even worse now. Last time they required 90% charge upon return. That's only like 20miles when with your family luggage and AC on! Better hope your hotel is close.

10:46pm on 6/11/26 by MeyerFamily

This happened when I rented a car af RDU from Alamo to drive to FL. I filled it up not especially close to the airport but not that far away either and the guy goes oh this is charging you for gas, let me fix that for you. I was shocked to hear about the

12:07am on 6/12/26 by koolaid

Scanner. I said to him well it wasn't full when I picked it up so...

12:08am on 6/12/26 by koolaid

My receipt shows 13.5 starting and 12.9 ending. So much for the fuel gauge to just show full. They were going to charge me $3.96

We had no issues w hertz recently- was scanned. And we filled up at crossroads leaving wdw then drove to mco

No Hertz, Dollar or Thrifty for me.

8:54pm on 6/12/26 by JackOfAll

Returned our Alamo car at MCO on Mon. No extra charges then, thank gosh.
