Landed at 12:45 am. Stayed offsite and checked in at OKW this morning. Room was ready!!! The room is huge! Our first time staying here and probably not our last. Off to HS to see Emma in action.

First time riding muppets coaster. The changes were fun. Probably my last time riding it. I'm getting too old for roller coasters. Recovering at ABC Commissary with a plain grilled chicken sandwich and a coke to settle my stomach.

2:24pm by Phil H. Magic

Stayed at OKW just one night last summer and was amazed by the size of the rooms. Really relaxing vibe as well.

2:51pm by aliceinwonderla

Have fun and please say hi to Emma for me!

Good afternoon, what is the best table service for solo travelers? My first time venturing to WDW solo and wondered. Looking for comfortability and not feeling like I am taking a table away from others (if that makes sense)

3:08pm on 6/18/26 by lancebanyon

Sci-fi. You will have entertainment.

3:13pm on 6/18/26 by Flutegarden

Not exactly table service but I really enjoyed a solo lunch at Nomad Lounge.

3:20pm on 6/18/26 by bonniem70

Ale and Compass worked for me.

3:22pm on 6/18/26 by TumbleMonkeys

I really enjoyed my solo meal at San Angel Inn. And after I was seated for lunch, I noticed that three other tables nearby had solo diners, too.

3:29pm on 6/18/26 by utang44

Hddr

3:29pm on 6/18/26 by TheREALniter

For whatever it's worth , I think you can go wherever you want. I went to Cinderellas Royal table last month after this group encouraged me to go ahead and it was totally fine!! You aren't taking a table from anyone. You deserve a table too.

3:30pm on 6/18/26 by VikeQueen

Welcome to Chat! If I was looking for a place that had good food and wasn't crazy busy I'd pick the Grand Floridian Cafe, Ale & Compass or Bluezoo.

3:41pm on 6/18/26 by MOJoe

I go solo to them all including character meals. You will be seated at a two top so you will not be taking a table from someone and no one cares that you are alone. Some folks will look longingly at your ability to eat without screaming children

3:48pm on 6/18/26 by Elaine5715

Agree - I've dined solo at lounges, fancy table service, character meals and it's all been great!

4:09pm on 6/18/26 by njhyndman

I liked the bar at space 220, SH71 and topilinos. Fantastic bartenders made for good conversation

4:12pm on 6/18/26 by jenc45

Jiko was also great for an excellent solo dinner - they seated me at a bar looking at the kitchen which gave me something to watch during my meal.

4:31pm on 6/18/26 by Ali Ababwa

I'm going solo to several of my favorites next week including H&V, Tiffins, Geo-82, Boathouse, Skippers, TT pre-party, GFCafe; but may revise freely as I go and see what's available 2.5 hours out, which is the bonus of solo travel.

4:54pm on 6/18/26 by Ali Ababwa

Didn't have any issues at any place I ate at on my solo trip. Servers were always attentive and other diners paid no attention. If I got bored I would look through the pictures I took that day on my phone or camera.

5:40pm on 6/18/26 by kleinmsu

Jiko did want to seat me at the bar, but I said I preferred a table and they obliged. I ate at earlier times (5:00 ish) so there were still open tables. You need to eat too. A solo traveler is never "stealing" someone else's table.

5:42pm on 6/18/26 by kleinmsu

I like sitting at a bar when I'm solo so I can chat with bartender or person next to me or chat with you all if I'm feeling more introverted. But agree that if you want a table you can go anywhere. Plenty of solo travelers at WDW!

7:20pm on 6/18/26 by evamarie320

Instigators - I just booked a solo table at Geo-82 since I won't have anyone under 21 with me!

9:22pm on 6/18/26 by moondance07

Thanks for this post. I am going solo in late September for first time and all kinds of these questions run through my head lol.

9:39pm on 6/18/26 by Eeyores Pal

I went solo at Geo 82 @moon and it was fabulous! Order the funghi flatbread and if you don't, tell me that you did.

Thank you all for the good responses. Good food for thought (pun intended). Which in park TS have bars you can sit at?

8:35am on 6/19/26 by lancebanyon

I think all the in-park bars have walk-up lists on the app. The ones that come to mind are EP Rose & Crown, Space 220 Lounge, HS Brown Derby Lounge, Baseline, Tune In, AK Nomad.

8:49am on 6/19/26 by Ali Ababwa

Biergarten at EP would be fun if you were sat at a long picnic style table with other guests. Maybe could meet people.

12:22pm by tddusina

^^ This sounds like my worst nightmare. No way would I want to sit with other people as a solo diner.

1:05pm by utang44

...view 23 more comments

They no longer seat different parties at the same table at Biergarten. Solos are seated at the own separate table

1:10pm by Elaine5715

Solo at Biergarten sounds awful. Same reason I feel like I should avoid 50's. But great answers all

3:35pm by lancebanyon

Same reason I won't be going to the Parisian Breakfast at Chefs de France. For a $60+ brunch I want my own table.

Last minute quick trip to say goodbye to the current CoP starts today!! On our way to the airport now. Feeling very unprepared given lack of planning but I can't wait!

119 grace period still works? And BG1 sometimes works?

6:00am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Safe travels and have a fun time!

6:15am on 6/19/26 by TacMed

Enjoy!!

7:01am on 6/19/26 by averiesmama210

Have fun! Yes 119 still works. BG1 is best for modifying, not booking, from recent reports.

7:03am on 6/19/26 by PrincipalTinker

Thanks!

7:11am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

I love this! At least your lumbago isn't acting up!

7:45am on 6/19/26 by popupcamper

This was actually DH's idea. He's started following WDW news and when he saw CoP was being refurbished, he said we had to do a quick trip before it closes. I have officially converted him! Almost makes up for my oldest DS aging out of Disney.

8:39am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Was able to snag an early LL for BTMR from the plane using MDE. Yeah! We've landed and are will be in our way to WDW soon!

8:56am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Woohoo!

9:03am on 6/19/26 by youcanfly

We're staying at CCV. Room not ready yet. Dropped our bags and we just boarded a bus to MK!!!

10:02am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

There's hope for your son. Mine claimed to have aged out at 16. But now, at 26, he's happy to be brought along assuming we pay lol.

10:08am on 6/19/26 by evamarie320

I have faith that he will have a change of heart in a few years. We left him home. Just me, DH, and our younger 2 this time.

10:38am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

MK doesn't look crowded. Hoping that Starbucks will be one our longer waits. But caffeine was very much needed after our early wake up.

10:40am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Coffee obtained. In line for spring rolls now. Newly painted castle is beautiful.

10:48am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Did the refurbed BRMR. So much smoother and loved the updated scenes/effects. Put our name on the list at McKim's Mile House. About to watch CBJ while we wait for our name to be called.

11:26am on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Wait, have you not done COP yet?!

12:07pm on 6/19/26 by popupcamper

No CoP yet. Planning to do it twice today but wanted to use our LLs first so we can book others.

12:09pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

After CBJ I grabbed TBA at the drop. In the Dave lounge now. Hadn't been in here before. Really nice break from the heat.

12:11pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

I meant DVD lounge

1:42pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

After that PoC. Then Beak & Barrell, but somehow I messed up and made the ressie for 3 people instead of 4. They were able to add a fourth but only standing. DS-10 wasn't happy.

1:45pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

At B&B, DH had the siren's whisper (just ok). I had the barrels a'blazin' ( I really liked bc I like spicy drinks); DD had the cursed treasure (she only liked the whipped cream) and DS had the south seas splash (so so). Don't think I'd bring the kids back

1:48pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

We also had the corn tortas. I really liked. DD and DS decided to head out before me and DH. When Magic Carpets was closed due to lightning, they called to tell me they were doing Tiki Birds. Made me proud that they would choose that. But, it closed too

2:03pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Kids went for file whip instead of our TBA LL turned into an anytime (not raining but closed for lightning) and now CoP is about to start!!!!

2:04pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

I like the corn things too at B&B. That's weird for Tiki Birds to be closed. It's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow!

2:07pm on 6/19/26 by popupcamper

Watched CoP. I'll miss this iteration but excited to see what they do with the refurb. Room is ready so waiting on the boat to CCV.

2:41pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Since it was a single night booked last minute, we booked a cabin. Super excited! Plan is to chill there for the next few hours until it cools off and afternoon storms pass through. Then EP and back to MK to end the night.

2:42pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

What a great start to your day! Say goodbye to CoP for those of us who can't.

2:57pm on 6/19/26 by carrl

WAIT - A CCV CABIN??!!!! I can't wait to hear about this.

3:00pm on 6/19/26 by popupcamper

Thx to @kfkennedy! Because of this post, I decided to book 1 night next week at contemporary to see COP one (or2) last time!! DD19 is joining me for a crazy 36h trip!!

3:31pm on 6/19/26 by Canadianminnie

CCV cabin is incredible. Wish we had points for more than 1 night. DD watched some World Cup then napped. DH and DS did the hot tub. I took a bath. We are all refreshed and ready to head back to the parks in a bit. EP for a little then end the nt at MK.

4:40pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

What an awesome trip to follow! Thanks for taking us along.

4:50pm on 6/19/26 by evamarie320

CCV cabins look so gorgeous DS19 says he'l come back when we can pay for him to drink around the world.. if he's not off skiing in Japan then

5:03pm on 6/19/26 by hodg

Good thing you have a cabin with the AC problems WL is having.

5:07pm on 6/19/26 by utang44

@canadianminnie-yay!! Hope you have a great time!

6:08pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

@utang-super grateful for the AC in the cabin. And it didn't help that in addition to the AC being out at the lodge, the pools were closed for lightning even tho not raining. But they were giving out free ice cream, cooling towels, waters, etc.

6:09pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

We did TT. I grabbed my PH magnet. Club Cool. A little time to spare before our GotG LL. Kids wanted to do MS. DH went with them. God bless him. I opted for a beer instead. Waiting for them on a bench near Gaudians, people watching with my IPA.

6:13pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Got Conga. Not our fav song but I love that ride. Grabbing a quick bite at Connections now.

6:53pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

And I forgot my favorite water bottle by the bench I was waiting for them on and realized it right after we entered the GotG queue. Fortunately it was still there! Luck is on my side. Although DH thought I was ridiculous for thinking someone wld take it.

7:02pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Grabbed food at Connections. Waiting for Soarin' IN B1!!!

7:40pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Was fun to have something new, but the transitions were sudden and not sure that the scents all match with the scenes.

8:06pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Finally on the mono back to MK. Feeding the kids really cut into my plan. Ha!

8:16pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

INPORTANT QUESTION: If we are late for TBA but still within the 119 grace period, will it take our anytime pass?

8:18pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

We didn't risk it. Kids really wanted to do HM. Did that with MP and then booked it to TBA. Made it shortly before the 119 minute mark. Boarding soon.

9:16pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

It won't take the MEP.

9:17pm on 6/19/26 by popupcamper

After TBA, we did Buzz and Tron. Too tired for CoP. Caught HEA on the way out (it was delayed due to rain). Stopped at the Confectionery for popcorn and goodies. And on the boat back to WL now.

11:09pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

Surprised how quick and easy the boats have been.

11:10pm on 6/19/26 by kfkennedy1

We were moving slow this morning. But we are at the bus stop. Should get to AK shortly before early entry ends. We're headed to Everest so hopefully we can get in a few rides before the line gets long. I was sad to hear about the change impacting SR.

7:18am by kfkennedy1

Did EE 5 times before DH and I needed to bail. Kids are still riding. While waiting for them , did some shopping and got a yummy breakfast sandwich from Drinkwalla. Pancakes with sausage and guava jelly.

9:06am by kfkennedy1

DS now holds the record in our family for most consecutive rides in Everest: 7. Watched Zootopia after that. I didn't like it and miss ITtBaB. Kids and DH preferred Zootopia. Then FoP and we are on the bus to EP now.

10:41am by kfkennedy1

Awesome. My DD has done 7 as well. Crazy! And yes, Everest is always very quiet in the morning. Everyone runs to Pandora

10:47am by Totsypooh

Everyone was hangry and tired when we got to EP. Refueled at Connections. Waiting for GotG now.

12:03pm by kfkennedy1

Everybody Wants to Rule the World. In first two rows. Fam was very excited. Decided to scrap our original plan for EP because we're running late, it looks like rain, and everyone is tired. Going to HS now.

12:29pm by kfkennedy1

Did the new RNRC. Still hurts my head/neck a bit but really like the muppets overlay. Got Walkin' in Sunshine. Great song and fit really well. Book SDD at the drop and modified our ToT earlier.

1:56pm by kfkennedy1

Tried the berry churro at muppets. Like a bready jolly rancher. Not a fan. Got ice cream for DS and a beer for me since I wasn't able to get an orange slush or a Viking coffee at EP. About to ride ToT.

1:58pm by kfkennedy1

...view 54 more comments

After ToT, DD got a regular churro and the rest of us shared a Jack's yum yum cookie. Cookie was tasty but a little dry. SDD came back up so we're in line for that now. Seems like it will be a long wait even with an LL.

2:28pm by kfkennedy1

The wait for SDD wasn't bad at all after that we did MFSR (loved that they changed up the scenes and that gunners can do manual mode for more of a challenge) and then ST. On the bus back to WL to grab our bags and head to the airport.

Not a restaurant you hear a lot of here, but how 50s been lately? It's gonna be really hot when we go so I was thinking at least maybe a couple sit down table service lunches or like between lunch and dinner like three.

2:26pm on 6/19/26 by Crazycatlady3

collapse thread

Sit downs are an excellent way to avoid heat. Haven't been to 50s but if you want to escape park for a bit, hop on SL and go to Riviera. Primo Priatto is their QS but you sit down and they bring you your order on real plates with real flatware.

2:29pm on 6/19/26 by Jennyhirsch

Real plates and flatware are only if you order at the register. If you mobile order you get trashable. (What's that called?)

2:39pm on 6/19/26 by popupcamper

Comfort food, but well done. We've been at least 4-5 times over the years and never had a bad meal. I love my signature dining, but 50's is great to get out of the heat and watch some old nostalgic tv shows and commercials while you eat home cooking.

3:00pm on 6/19/26 by allanmayo

We've gone to 50s on nearly all of our trips the last several years and always really enjoy our food. I also agree with the recommendation for Primo Piatto. We often hop a bus from POFQ to HS to skyline to RR for dinner there!

3:03pm on 6/19/26 by utang44

I think it's fun. My DH and I usually share the cornbread and the sampler plate and it's the perfect amount of food for us. The kids liked the shakes and share the fried chicken plate.

3:09pm on 6/19/26 by jules_fletch

I was there about 3 months ago, good meal as always!

3:16pm on 6/19/26 by njhyndman

I enjoy the theme and the food is really good. The only issue is that it's a fairly heavy meal. Pot Roast, Meatloaf, Fried Chicken. Not exactly what I would want for lunch on a hot afternoon.

3:30pm on 6/19/26 by MOJoe

We enjoy 50s! My son loves the pot roast & I love the fried chicken. Be ready for antics! Last year, my DS15 was on his phone and our "aunt" CM/waitress took it away and snapped his friends. When he went on again, she locked it for 10 mins! It was great!!

3:36pm on 6/19/26 by missWishes

Just ate there for the first time since I was a kid. Wasn't very hungry and got the kids chicken tenders. They were so good! I'd return in a heartbeat for those tenders!

3:49pm on 6/19/26 by Dis_stacey

I enjoyed it in March. The menu feels heavy for a lunch if it's hot out to me though.

4:09pm on 6/19/26 by mary32830

The food there is too heavy for me in the hot months but it's a cute nostalgic spot

5:24pm on 6/19/26 by LaurenInWonderland

We enjoy 50's. It DD18's favorite TS for her and a must-do. Food is basic but delicious. I did try the hot honey lemonade and...not to my taste. But love everything else I've ever tried. And it is a nice break on a park day!

5:53pm on 6/19/26 by maurine08

I am going against the great reviews.Ate there in May.Fried chicken was so over done.3 out of 4 did not even eat 1 piece.DD got the meat loaf and loved her meal. As soon as we left the restaurant, I got so sick and still sick the b3xt day.Will never go

6:01pm on 6/19/26 by momshappyplace

Hopefully you reported the suspected food poisoning to the restaurant or guest services. Happens at every restaurant everywhere at some point, but they need to know when it does.

I just know everything i ate was on the sidewalk before I could get to the bathroom. CM had a bottle of water for me within 30 seconds and started cleaning. It may have been caused by anything. Just know it is stuck in my head

3:31pm by momshappyplace

Went to 50s in late April. DD and I shared pot roast plate which was excellent. DSIL had Caesar salad and said it was delicious! DH had fried chicken and he liked it better than Homecomin'. CM was so sweet and we had fun playing with our "aunt".

Is there a boat that runs from CR to Geyser Point? Does it operate in the rain? Was hoping to travel there for dinner but not if transport is too difficult.

2:45pm by aliceinwonderla

Resort boat starts at 3. CR to WL to FW. It will run in the rain but not if winds are high or if it's lightning.

3:03pm by cdlla

Yes. You can catch a Boat to Wilderness Lodge from MK or from contemporary. It does operate in the rain. Pay attention to which boat because there is a wilderness lodge boat and a fort wilderness campground boat. Geyser Point is the wilderness lodge.

3:04pm by Rjcsmom

Excellent info and just what I needed. Thanks!

3:17pm by aliceinwonderla

I'm looking to upgrade our tickets to AP on our next trip. I believe I just go to customer service and they will do it? Is it possible to get the discounts on things I've already bought. For example- we have a CRT reservation on the trip.

1:40pm by Figment20

For CRT you show your discount when you are seated and they will credit you the difference back from your prepaid price. It works the same with DVC discount there :)

1:44pm by cdlla

Oh perfect! Do you know if I will get a discount for dessert party or Halloween tickets?

1:57pm by Figment20

I wouldn't think you'd get a discount on things you've already purchased.

2:27pm by JenniferB1975

Okay- I understand that. Just didn't know if since I didn't use them yet. The more things I add up the more "worth it" it becomes lol.

Looking at the price chart for all dates in the year, there are certainly parts of the year where you'll see significantly lower prices for this room - but August is NOT typically one of them. 32% under that median is a great deal!

Just a question about rentals. If not rented, is the money lost?

10:44am on 5/25/26 by 58breezy

@58, do you mean for the owner? It depends. Some points need to be used or owner loses them. But often if it's not rented the owner just cancels and puts those points on another rental.

10:52am on 5/25/26 by evamarie320

If you mean for the re tee, yes if you rent points and then don't use them it's often a loss for the renter. Some agencies have exceptions or "insurance" tho.

Terrific price in December, full stop. As a 6-night: maybe a few/year & this is 2nd lowest recorded by about $5. 6-night Beach Club Villas Studio 12/14 for $425/night or 21% under median. https://rentals.dvcshop.com/reservations/beach-club-villas-547098

This BC deal is just about the lowest price point for December. Perhaps not as rare a price as that BR above, but still: only see less than 10 a year at this price or lower for ANY length.

This has been out there since January! We are now 23 days out from check in - we MIGHT see some last minute listings around this price in the next week or so, but they almost certainly will NOT be a 5-nighter:

The VAST majority of December BLT Studios appear right at 11 months. This is at the bottom of the price range for any length. It would be very unlikely to see another 7-nighter this low from this point on...

Wow! That $198 September Saratoga springs combined with the SWA sales for this fall is very tempting!

10:15am on 6/19/26 by evamarie320

I know! I'm working on a possible points Swan stay at the Aug/Sept time frame and I'm going to struggle not booking a sub $200 deal if one shows up on my dates.

10:19am on 6/19/26 by JJT (staff)

Even though we saw a few similar ones this year, this is a VERY rare price for the Grand Cali in April. There has only been ONE other 4-nighter at this price point:

January 2026 had about 30 Boardwalk multi-night listings at or below this price, but only 8 were 7-nighters. If you want a week that month, it may behoove you to act. :)

Greetings, with the lower crowds, how hard is it to see the fireworks/HEA during the summer? I am hoping a dessert reservation is unnecessary if the crowds make it relatively easy to see the show

2:24pm by Chrissy-T

DD and I got a spot in the hub about 25-30 minutes before HEA last week.

2:25pm by JenniferB1975

It was ADR day today. I got pretty much everything I want. But it says there are no F! Dining packages available. None of the restaurants. Had a CM check too and still nothing. Do I keep checking everyday? I made a backup reservation at Woodys

9:53am by tlrg4488

I would expect they'll show up at sone point soon

10:08am by hodg

Ya, they tend to load later.

10:29am by njhyndman

Happy to read that you got most of what you wanted @tlrg! It's always a great feeling when your plans come together.

11:56am by TacMed

Set up a dining alert in Mouse Dining and you'll get notification when they are loaded and available for booking :) saved me from obsessively checking my phone for KTTK and MK FWDP to load
