434 to DCL - close but doesn't beat you!

5:33pm on 4/24/26 by njhyndman

I'm close, 454 to DCL out of Southampton

10:25pm on 4/24/26 by Ali Ababwa

We started at 568 but now down to a "mere" 381. Flights, resort and tickets are all booked now so feeling quite real.

Going to AL today. My weather app shows tornado watch / thunderstorms all morning. Will they close the park? Never been when under these conditions. I can brave the weather in my rain poncho

"Bump" cracked me up, @Niter!

My first thought was...why are you telling us about going to Alabama? Then I saw the dates and the OP responding to her original post and it got even funnier. Thanks for the laugh.

It always makes me isugh when these old posts are resurrected!

I'm a 70 yr old grandma going to Disney by myself next month - no kids. Spending a half day at AK. Should I see Zootopia? I never liked Bugs Life. Saw it a couple times with my kids and always skipped it when going alone. The roaches were too much.

Have you seen the movie? I haven't and honestly didn't really get the show

10:54am on 4/24/26 by molly99

I think you'd need to watch both movies to understand it. It was cute, but not a must-do.

11:31am on 4/24/26 by utang44

Agree, I haven't seen the movies and was quite confused. My momma (around your age) has seen both and enjoyed the show. She loved Bugs Life too though.

11:44am on 4/24/26 by popupcamper

It had some cute parts and effects but we were totally lost on what it was trying to get across.

12:28pm on 4/24/26 by cdlla

I saw both movies and the show is not impressive. I cannot even remember it but that might be my age talking. Not sure why they thought this would be better.

1:01pm on 4/24/26 by JackOfAll

Seen it twice now. It's a hit if you've seen the movies (especially the second one); in that case, it's fun chaos. It's confusing chaos if you haven't seen the second film. Either way, I liked it much better than ITTBAB, which I always skipped.

1:34pm on 4/24/26 by JERancher

My 70yo parents have not seen the movie but both agreed that the show was very cute and liked the theater. My mom especially liked it.

2:09pm on 4/24/26 by melcort10

We liked it but for half day, there are definitely better ways to spend the time

4:46pm on 4/24/26 by LaurenInWonderland

The show was fine. Bugs Life was much better, but at least the new one isn't terrifying. My DS a long, long time ago screamed through that entire show.

5:06pm on 4/24/26 by moondance07

I thought it was terrible. Couldn't hear the audio properly so low quality. Over-excitable madness with no plot or emotion. I would much rather wander a trail than be subjected to it again!

7:06pm on 4/24/26 by Sarahmun

I thought it was adorable!!

8:22pm on 4/24/26 by Crazycatlady3

I went to the show before I actually saw zootopia2 (watched it on plane back home) and the show made more sense after I saw the movie. It was cute

Bring back Tough To Be a Bug!

9:09pm on 4/24/26 by snowdiz

I was totally confused about the plot - I'd rather do Lion king or Finding Nemo, especially with only a half day. Not worth the time!

10:14pm on 4/24/26 by daisylover78

You will have the same experience as the roaches, only its mice. I didn't like it either

11:35pm on 4/24/26 by Suezq223

What's one on-property restaurant that doesn't get much hype, but you wouldn't dream of skipping it? We don't do many TS restaurants and I'm looking for a hidden gem.

I love Trattoria Al forno on the boardwalk.

9:59pm on 4/23/26 by royjoyahoy

I don't hear people talking about Narcoosee's all that much, but I was very impressed on my last trip.

10:11pm on 4/23/26 by njhyndman

Enzo's Hideaway at DS.

10:50pm on 4/23/26 by snowdiz

I second Enzo's Hideaway! It's our favorite restaurant. Going Saturday night!

11:20pm on 4/23/26 by melcort10

Don't love Enzo's it's hard to find find and food is just meh. It's at Disney springs.

6:31am on 4/24/26 by WorldTraveler34

DS is on- property @WorldTraveler.

7:33am on 4/24/26 by snowdiz

It is but it's out the way. That's just my opinion. As in I went out of my way to eat there and food was meh. One and done and wouldn't ever recommend to anyone

8:06am on 4/24/26 by WorldTraveler34

This is a thread about restaurants people love, not ones they hate.

8:26am on 4/24/26 by utang44

Sebastian's at CBR and a new one from last trip, Rosa Mexicana at the Dolphin.

8:40am on 4/24/26 by Bubbakirby

Lots of good ones on here! I'll add Citricos to the list. A lot of folks think it might be too fancy, but the kids' menu is extensive, and the food and service are always incredible.

9:44am on 4/24/26 by JERancher

And to @roy's earlier comment- I finally tried Trattoria for dinner last week, and I was really impressed. Excellent, and doesn't break the bank.

9:45am on 4/24/26 by JERancher

I second Citricos!

10:10am on 4/24/26 by sivako4750

Trattoria is our must as well

4:49pm on 4/24/26 by LaurenInWonderland

For us, that would Sebastian's Bistro

4:56pm on 4/24/26 by cobia

We ate at Narcoosee this past week and it was AMAZING. We all loved our meals and the vibe.

4:57pm on 4/24/26 by tanyaindisney

I love Trattoria for breakfast and rarely skip but thinking of an overlooked place, Toledo comes to mind. Very unique but I don't think it's one I must do every trip.

6:03pm on 4/24/26 by youcanfly

Thanks! So many great replies. Several we love too, but I'll be adding Trattoria to the next trip. It's an area we don't get to as much, and new to us. And the menu looks great.

7:02pm on 4/24/26 by madhattermomof4

I am going to include the Four Seasons to "on property" since you can take a mini van. My vote is Ravello .

7:04pm on 4/24/26 by PrincipalTinker

I'd love to try Toledo but I never think to go over to CS.

8:10pm on 4/24/26 by royjoyahoy

We are trying Toledo this trip also, on one of the AP discount days.

We actually loved Maya Grill at CSR! Princess and the Bear on the YouTubes seem to agree. A great treat on our last trip and we can't wait to go back!

8:56pm on 4/24/26 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Jiko is our favorite on property resort. But a hidden gem I think is Spice Road Table in EP.

BG1 question...will this help me get a Moonlight Magic registration? Will it help me get a virtual queue for the May 4th merch at DHS? Can someone please point me in the right direction to install the latest version?

DW just told me Sam's Club is selling $500 Disney gift cards for $450. Do Disney gift cards have an expiration date?

You usually need to purchase soon after the sale starts, definitely on the day they go on sale. Will have to check the ad when it comes in the mail to see what time the sale starts on May 1.

7:24pm on 4/24/26 by utang44

I have the ad: it's $450.00 for a $500 card, online only. The sale starts for Plus members at 9 pm ET on April 30. They have the same deal for Southwest gift cards,too.

8:13pm on 4/24/26 by anneofcreek

Anyone know what time it starts for non Plus members?

10:20pm on 4/24/26 by daisylover78

"What's cookin'?" DW and I are meeting friends at our favorite Mexican restaurant and tequila bar tonight. Only thing that I know that I will have is a giant Margarita! Who's dining out tonight as well?

Had to pick up some prescriptions and Outback is nearby so I talked DH into going out. Alice Springs Chicken and a Walaby Darned.

9:29pm on 4/24/26 by njhyndman

Spicy margarita, ribs, and roasted veggies.

9:47pm on 4/24/26 by evamarie320

Had an early dinner at San Angel. Needed to sit in a/c so rationalized Mexican food. Always enjoy it there. No ADR available but short walk-up time.

No, there are currently no VQs, so no actual boarding groups. This post is about BG1, a tool for booking LLs.

Nice!

9:51pm on 4/24/26 by evamarie320

At Kidani DVC last week. Day 4 = full clean. I taped an envelope with tip to Primary bathroom mirror, but it wasn't taken! Day 8 = Towels, etc. I left another tip envelope taped right to mirror & highlighted tip message. Again it was not taken! So odd.

8:12am on 4/24/26 by TeacherGrandma

collapse thread

I put my tip last weekend on the sign in the bathroom denoting when housekeeping would come. Didn't have anything to leave a note with, so hoped that would do it! It worked. We've had them leave it before, though, even in a marked envelope.

8:25am on 4/24/26 by utang44

I saw on a FB group housekeeping is no longer a tipped position. When they negotiated their contract they agreed to starting wage of $23 an hour going up to $28 an hour and as such agreed to be non-tipped.

11:50am on 4/24/26 by popupcamper

Google says they go up to $35 an hour, $28 is the average.

11:51am on 4/24/26 by popupcamper

Good to know on the no tipping any more. I also wondered why ours wasn't taken all week. Now I know :)

12:27pm on 4/24/26 by cdlla

I am so over tipping for everything, especially at restaurant kiosks.

1:04pm on 4/24/26 by JackOfAll

I'll continue leaving a tip. If they take it, they take it; if not, oh well.

1:09pm on 4/24/26 by utang44

Interesting. We always make fun tip holders, guess we won't do that again (unless it changes again before our next trip).

1:33pm on 4/24/26 by WendyMarie

That's a great rate increase. Very happy for them!

2:45pm on 4/24/26 by lizshiv

We left a tip envelope for some fresh towels last week, Boardwalk Villas, and they took it. Also left tip at check out, so I will assume they will take it.

3:25pm on 4/24/26 by peterpan4ever

I will still try to tip them when they bring the extra towels and blankets and coffee to our room. I'll post here in a couple weeks if that was accepted :)

3:46pm on 4/24/26 by cdlla

Huh, so if you tip at checkout then what happens?

5:09pm on 4/24/26 by moondance07

I googled several questions to try and find this info but couldn't find anything. Was your envelope labeled? I'll be there in a couple weeks and will take my tip envelopes as per usual.

6:35pm on 4/24/26 by maurine08

If they really negotiated to be a non tipping position, isn't it managements job to tell us that?! We shouldn't have to rely on @popup reading it on FB. (Thanks tho @popup!).

6:38pm on 4/24/26 by evamarie320

I would love it if the company actually paid a living wage so they didn't rely on tips but I agree they should tell us!

6:47pm on 4/24/26 by VikeQueen

Here's the union agreement. It's 323 pages so I skimmed. I didn't see if housekeeping CAN accept tips just that it's nontipped. It addresses how many rooms they will need to clean, and how many of those can be checkouts. If they finish their assigned...

8:44pm on 4/24/26 by popupcamper

...rooms early they can leave up to 45 minutes early and still get paid that hour. If they want to take on extra rooms those come with extra money. DVC trash towels was $4. Regular room was $8. Checkout I think was $11. Also bell services was interesting

8:46pm on 4/24/26 by popupcamper

They get paid $11 an hour and also per delivery. $1 if they leave it Inside the door. $2 if you have them carry it in. $2.75 for groceries (of that $6 fee)

8 weeks parental bonding, 1 week vacay after a year, 2 weeks after 2 years, 3 weeks after 5, 4 weeks after 17. There's a pension too. It discusses health insurance but not in detail so I couldn't really see how good that is. This is for full time employee

Is this for all Disney resorts or only DVC?

One more thing. Looks like current min for housekeeping is $23 and max is $24. Google told me max was $30-something and FB said $28. Pay goes up in October.

9:07pm on 4/24/26 by popupcamper

I always leave a tip on a cleaning day in an envelope marked for housekeeping and add on the envelope "please take". I have never had a tip refused doesn't matter if it's POP or YC.
