Is there a way to view the map version of my custom TP from my iPhone?

10:05am by imfluffy

Think you'll have to do it on the web version. They're just looking at adding maps to the app now- but the app has been set up for minimal data usage while in parks do never had maps to date.

I am currently in epcot. We were not able to get test track lightning lane passes. Does anyone know a best time to check back from drops?

The liner spreadsheet (thanks @popup!) says 2:47.

Happy New Year! I was wondering if anybody knows of an alert system if a reservation at the Bibi Bobbidi Boutique at MK becomes available?

Can anyone compare San Angel Inn and La Hacienda de San Angel? I'm considering one of them next trip and both have neat atmosphere - just wondering if there is a clear winner. Thanks!

I like SAI for lunch because you leave the hot FL sun and enter the cool Mexican evening. Food is standard Tex mex. I like Hacienda for dinner. A bit more upscale modern Mexican cuisine with great windows overlooking lagoon and fireworks.

8:12am on 12/28/25 by evamarie320

We enjoyed the pyramid one. Is the other one the fast food one on the lake? We don't like that one as much. Too busy. I think that's cantina though. If there's a third one that's the one we haven't tried.

8:16am on 12/28/25 by popupcamper

@pop there is a sit down reservation part of the quick service with a different menu that's where we did the tequila tasting

8:19am on 12/28/25 by snelvis

Popup, I get those confused also. Pretty sure San Angel is pyramid. I did not know that La Hacienda had anything other than fast food. Might have to try a regular meal there.

8:20am on 12/28/25 by h2olly

La Hacienda is the TS along the lagoon, and we love it! Gorgeous views of the water and WS, plus really excellent food. We much prefer it to our experience at San Angel, which felt crowded and dark.

8:41am on 12/28/25 by utang44

La Hacienda is separate from the outdoor QS. But fun fact: If you eat at the cantina for lunch, you can take your food into the TS La Hacienda to sit in the AC and enjoy the views rather than eating outside. La Hacienda is dinner only.

8:44am on 12/28/25 by utang44

La Hacienda can be good for fireworks viewing but you need to be lucky and get a window seat. We prefer the food at SAI.

9:23am on 12/28/25 by Phil H. Magic

We like SAI better, too

9:35am on 12/28/25 by cdlla

I have been to both and I don't think I will return to SAI. I thought the food was "ok". I really enjoy La Hacienda.

10:30am on 12/28/25 by PrincipalTinker

We booked La Hacienda for the fireworks view but our window table looked towards Germany, and we had to go outside to watch. We love the dark atmosphere in San Angel. Love their tostadas and a blood orange margarita, no need for an extensive heavy meal.

10:47am on 12/28/25 by snowdiz

La Hacienda was one and done for us years ago - too dark to read menu, crowded, and rushed indifferent service for mediocre Mexican food. Maybe it's improved in the last decade but so many places to get better Mexican....

10:51am on 12/28/25 by Ali Ababwa

I like SAI. After they remodeled the dining room year and a half ago, it's not so dark and not so crowded. They put divider walls between some seating, installed additional lighting. The photos on Disney's site are still the old interior.

10:51am on 12/28/25 by mkmuzzy

Ack! Correction - I meant SAI! I have not eaten at La Hacienda.

10:53am on 12/28/25 by Ali Ababwa

SAI wasn't dark or crowded when we went in October. It was relaxing and wonderful.

11:24am on 12/28/25 by popupcamper

It does sound like the renovations helped with that, @popup. Our last meal there was several years ago now. We got hooked on La Hacienda on our mom/daughter trips.

11:27am on 12/28/25 by utang44

We absolutely all loved ( DH, DD25, DS23) La Hacienda and would pick it every time over San Angel. The food was excellent and we have been to both within the last year.

11:42am on 12/28/25 by bonniem70

I echo @Eva. I do think I give the edge to La Hacienda though. SAI was sooo tight and no room to move

1:14pm on 12/28/25 by LaurenInWonderland

I wonder if it helped that we did the inn around 3 pm iirc. There was no one around us. Biergarten otoh was bananas and I won't go there again. (We rarely do table service but did both that trip.)

1:16pm on 12/28/25 by popupcamper

I did like the Biergarten bathrooms and service (which isn't at all what you asked but wanted to share since I said we won't go back.)

1:34pm on 12/28/25 by popupcamper

Wow. These 2 restaurants seem very polarizing among Liner friends. I am going to reserve TS for March trip. Hopefully fireworks view. Thanks for all the different opinions.

9:55pm on 12/31/25 by h2olly

Also excited to try Biergarten. Have never been there. Will be solo trip and I am an introvert. But do like to be around others up to a point. Will I enjoy Biergarden?

9:59pm on 12/31/25 by h2olly

@h2lly, maybe for Biergarten. The service was amazing, there's a 10ish minute show which we enjoyed and the food was good. We just don't like spending so much money on food. We're sandwich people. But try it.

2:26am by popupcamper

It's communal and very festive. I would still enjoy it solo just clapping along and watching others have fun. Good food and great atmosphere.

2:35am by aliceinwonderla

They haven't done the communal seating at Biergarten since the pandemic so you won't have to sit with anyone else. They never seem to fill the restaurant anymore.

SAI is a must do for us. LH is not so good.

3:19am by JackOfAll

Love the atmosphere of SAI. Feels like eating al fresco with advantage of ac. Food was meh. It's a few years ago. Food at Cantina is good, fresh and quick. LH always seems to be closed when we are there?!?

8:23am by Magicalday2011

Yes I didn't mean communal seating, I just meant lots of people having fun enjoying the experience together. Convivial? You will not have to sit at a table with strangers. But the tables are close enough that you definitely don't feel alone

I read that DCL doesn't have unlimited drink packages. Is there still that "all inclusive vibe" when it comes to alcohol? DH is 18 months sober and is a bit worried about that "vibe" or "mentality"

5:09pm on 12/31/25 by tlrg4488

collapse thread

He's not quite ready for an all inclusive warm vacation. So I suggested DCL because I figured that would be a bit of a happy medium but I'm completely assuming here lol. We do have two young kids - 6 and 3 so scratches that Disney itch a bit

5:10pm on 12/31/25 by tlrg4488

We're in Epcot today. Have not seen anything all inclusive so far but DGF is 30 days sober today and definitely feeling the pressure. I wish they would not push the stuff so heavily. Not everybody wants to drink on New Year's :(

5:11pm on 12/31/25 by scottmc101

I haven't seen an unlimited drink plan on DCL but I could just be oblivious?

5:24pm on 12/31/25 by Jennyhirsch

DCL is very low key as far as alcohol, especially in the family areas. You won't see the out of control drinking like you do on other cruises.

5:26pm on 12/31/25 by JenniferB1975

I haven't seen out of control drinking on other cruise lines but I keep trying

5:56pm on 12/31/25 by Elaine5715

I think DCL does a good job of avoiding that "party cruise" vibe. There is alcohol, but it's kinda expensive (compared to free soft serve and soda) and not the focus of the trip as far as I noticed.

6:17pm on 12/31/25 by RememberWhen

Some of the activities trivia etc are in the lounge/ bars day time but kids are there and it's very lowkey . I don't drink and I think you need to ask for service.

6:22pm on 12/31/25 by burfe1501

If your husband is a friend of Bill W, I would check to see if there are meetings on the DCL cruises. I've cruised multiple times on RCCL and there have always been meetings available and many areas of the ship(s) where one can escape the drinking crowds.

6:30pm on 12/31/25 by allanmayo

DCL does have Friends of Bill W meetings.

6:51pm on 12/31/25 by JenniferB1975

NDR but can we please request a chat area like this for cruises? The FB cruise groups are the Wild West.

9:29am by Ali Ababwa

Nice to know @Jennifer, thank you!

9:40am by allanmayo

No drink packages, so definitely not all inclusive. Also no casino. Some adults-only spaces, but fewer than other cruise lines.

Most cruises do have AA meeting you just have to ask at the front desk they don't advertise it . Celebrity did. Disney doesn't offer a drink package however club level does offer free drinks in the evening. I never brought a young child on the Disney

10:11am by WorldTraveler34

Cruise because I didn't want people drinking alcohol around him. I never drank for my son as little. I never brought my child to Epcot when he was younger because again Epcot is mostly drinking. You just have to do what's best for you.

10:12am by WorldTraveler34

I am not sure what vibe you are necessarily trying to avoid but any cruise is going to have alcohol everywhere. On DCL people have to pay by the drink but there are still servers on the pool decks and people walking with alcohol in all areas of the ship.

You know it's cold when there is no one at the Poly outside.There are no CMs blocking people from the beach.There are no CMs blocking people from walking on the paths.There are no CMs at the monorail. There are exactly 9 people in beach Adirondack chairs.

I know, right? We walked to end of deserted boat dock. No humans. Popped out and chatted with monorail security. Mono arrived and tens of people poured out, no CMs. Walked on empty beach area, no gates or barriers. I had no wristband on. The cold, I guess

11:38pm on 12/31/25 by Jennyhirsch

So peaceful what a treat.

Beach is empty because of those checks. Parking garages filled up early and people were heading to resorts with firework views.

Spring break for schools in Knoxville, TN is ridiculously early this year: March 9 to 13. At least a week earlier than it has been previously.

In our large school district in north Texas it is March 16-20. That's probably when most of the TX schools have theirs. DD who is at the University of Oklahoma has the same as well, so probably most of OK is that week?

We walked to SSR, bussed to MK, mono-railed to GF & got off just as 7:30FW started. Then met up with fam, grabbed drinks from GF Birdcage Bar, walked back MK, (saw water pageant) boated to Campground & they drove us back to hotel

9:56am by DestinyCalled

I would've stayed for 12a FW but I was FROZEN! DS19 (& GF) & DS17 stayed for them while DW & DD15 (whose main goal was RD'ing Gideon's Jan 1) went back to hotel. We watched 30min of Stranger Things & crashed as FW exploded across sky outside windows

9:59am by DestinyCalled

FW exploded outside our windows, ringing in new year. We could see at least 3 locations all at the same time. But I was still recovering from cold and too tired to watch everything. We'll get HEA Sat.
