Does anyone know where I can buy discounted Chili's gift cards? I tried looking up Sam's Club and a Google search shows them but not in my store, so maybe they don't have them?

No answer just an Office clip. Sorry, hope someone knows! https://youtu.be/QvjEeMC0-Cw?si=qk1WohYKt7B5nmVN

They have $25 e-cards for Chili's with the Target RedCard.

7 min ago by utang44

Looks like they also have physical cards for various amounts through Target. They're noted as One4All and include multiple stores, with some including Chili's.

In past years there was a crowd calendar I could put in Excel and add meals etc. I can no longer find this format. Does it still exist?

1:53pm by bkflyer

I think I saw this posted on the forum too? Did say one suggest you use the "contact us" link in the homepage of the app? Staff is very responsive and if they have that format, I am sure they will share. I would include your forum example.

What is the transportation from Fort Wilderness to MK? Is the transportation fast/convenient at this resort?

The closure is for Wilderness lodge only. Boat runs every 20 minutes or so and bus at regular intervals.

3:14pm by Flutegarden

Note though that you will need a golf cart or take an internal bus to get to boat launch or bus stop. Add 20 minutes if taking internal bus.

Good afternoon Liner peeps, it's been a while since I've been on here, finally have a trip booked next month, haven't been back since 2021 so this trip is much needed! It will be my DH, DD(11 months atot), DM and DN(11). Question, we are staying at..

1:55pm by Hoosiermermaid27

Poly for the first time, if you've stayed there, what are your favorite things about this resort and any advice for room requests etc..?

1:56pm by Hoosiermermaid27

Best feature: monorail

3:20pm by Ali Ababwa

Many second floor rooms don't have balconies, just a railing without space to sit. So Id request third floor for a true balcony or first floor for a patio.

3:28pm by TumbleMonkeys

Having a resort day where you can enjoy the pool:). Eat at tambu lounge or Wailulu:) fireworks on the beach with a dole whip:)

NDR, but I'm so excited. I just got an email that I'll have an opportunity to purchase 2028 LA Olympics tickets! Looks like a trip to DL may be on the horizon as well. Eeek!

Good luck! All I hear is how expensive they are but I hope you get something reasonable.

4:00pm on 4/7/26 by melcort10

I'm really hoping to attend the Paralympics in 2028. My niece played wheel chair rugby and I was unable to see her play in Paris.

4:02pm on 4/7/26 by momtwofour

Fantastic! We did paris- managed to get some reasonableish price tickets for am athletics plus did rowing & hockey quarters & semis- DS29's coach was playing. We did end up w 100m finals evening tickets too after a couple of cocktails- no regrets.

4:04pm on 4/7/26 by hodg

Paris accommodation was very expensive so be prepared. We got a great Airbnb in the end but it was not cheap

4:04pm on 4/7/26 by hodg

Paris for 1st release you had to pick 3 events. And France had events all over the country. Then we could add other events individually later. London 2012 did great prices for kids-you paid their age whatever the ticket cost. That mayve been to U.K. only.

4:10pm on 4/7/26 by hodg

High five @MrsNesbitt! I just got my email this evening too! I'm hoping to get tickets for men's rowing (DS16 is a HS rower) and women's basketball (DD13's favorite sport). Hope your time slot goes well for you!

7:29pm on 4/7/26 by JoeyPotter98

Hmmm I might think about LA28! I went to Seoul, Barcelona, Albertville, and Atlanta....

8:18pm on 4/7/26 by Ali Ababwa

Congrats you two!! Sad trombone over here as I got an email saying I didn't make the first draw. Still hoping to make a future one. Keep us posted on how the ticket purchase goes and what events you get.

8:25pm on 4/7/26 by GoGreenGoWhite

@joey, gonna try for 5x5 WBB or 3x3 or both?

8:39pm on 4/7/26 by utang44

@utang I'm going to try for the 5x5 first, but my DD was also totally obsessed with this past season of Unrivaled so I can't go wrong with the 3x3 option either

9:03pm on 4/7/26 by JoeyPotter98

My mom got one also for DD16 bday trip(she'll be 17 by then but that works too!)we are going for Equestrian events & volleyball. DD BFF family all signed up and 2 of them got lottery times. I didn't think of that at all so max we'll get is 12 right now.

9:11pm on 4/7/26 by koolaid

But worried about price also, do we have any clue how much the price range might be?

9:12pm on 4/7/26 by koolaid

3x3 is so fun! Also gives me a heart attack to watch sometimes. Best of luck grabbing some WBB tickets.

9:16pm on 4/7/26 by utang44

Don't know if it will be similar but we paid 60-90 euro for the hockey, rowing etc inc semis. Athletics am early session was 130 euro & the men's 100m final was around 250- that was sonworth it tho.

9:42pm on 4/7/26 by hodg

They've not said anything about kids prices?

9:43pm on 4/7/26 by hodg

How does this work? DS just texted this morning that he was bored a few months ago and signed up for the lottery for tix. He got 12. So I have to figure out where venues are? Then price what I want? And they are stupidly expensive?

7:49am by Jennyhirsch

@flute said very expensive on other thread- tho I'd hope $1000s for ticket is mega athletics or swim events with hospitality.

10:35am by hodg

Pick a few less-popular sports preliminary rounds, especially women's, less costly, easier to get to, and still Olympic caliber competition/skills that are amazing to watch.

11:56am by Ali Ababwa

@jenny, the la28 website has a complete schedule and venue list. Along with recommendations for planning well in regards to the venue location and realistic travel time.

Following. My ticket window opens on April 12th, and I'm hoping for swimming or gymnastics, but I heard the first round of local tickets for those sold out within seconds.

12:40pm by 56arlene

Go to SwimSwam to get a general idea about the swim tickets and pricing. I've decided against getting tix. The prices for swim are rough and you don't get a seat. You get an "area" with seat notification later.

3:24pm by Jennyhirsch

Need reviews of the bass fishing on pontoon boat from POR. Do you get a lot of bites/action? Trying to decide between fishing or TL waterpark for a day. Sons love fishing, but also waterslides.

2:10pm by tddusina

We caught probably around 15-20 fish. We have done it from POR and YC, enjoyed both.

It's an old pic, but Liner @Wendywelcher loved this activity.

Oops. That pic is Bay Lake. From POR has not crossed my radar.

How does mobile ordering work? I assume they contact you when it is ready, are there dedicated lines to pick up mobile orders or do you just wait in regular line? Thanks

2:00pm by mnfc

It will tell you in the app when the order is ready and tell you what window to go to.

2:03pm by utang44

You can order in the morning to secure popular time slots. But be sure to click "prepare my order" even with a pick up window time - food will be prepared when you tap this button :)

2:32pm by disneymama3

Yes don't forget to hit the prepare my food button when you are ready to eat! The app will notify when it's ready and usually tell you what pick up window to go to.

3:13pm by njhyndman

At some popular resorts you may want to pre-order dinner at a particular time since there often have been backups

Does anyone combo universal studios and wdw vacations into one long vacation? How many days is too many & how would you split your nights? Wdw - we usually do 4-5 days & nights

12:51pm by RileysBirthday

...view 3 more comments

Our last universal/WDW trip was pre-epic. We did 3 days at UOR (included water park) and 5 days WDW.

2:44pm by simba77

The longer (3 days +) universal tickets allow you to hop between all the parks including Epic. Same with the longer express passes. (The hotel Express perk doesn't include Epic) All of this makes Universal a better deal the longer you stay!

2:50pm by TumbleMonkeys

I did it last year in Dec but did a 3 way split stay which was nuts, but wanted to be on property for holiday parties. I think my trip was 8 days.

3:11pm by njhyndman

NDR: any recs for travel agents for London (or liners that do this?) I started working with one I found via Google but she's not incorporating my feedback for the itinerary very well.

@JER did a U.K. trip including London last year & has been back on lines so might have ideas. Enough Brits on here to answer questions but not really TA related

4:17pm on 4/7/26 by hodg

Hey @blast! Hope you're doing well! @hodg is right- after a church choir tour around the U.K., we did a quick trip to Bath, then spent a week in and around London. I'm a Disney TA, but not an int'l TA... but I LOVE planning, so I just planned it all...

7:30pm on 4/7/26 by JERancher

...myself. (I spent a week solo in Norway in Jan, where I did the same thing, and I'll be in South America in December too.. maybe I should go into business doing this!). But anyway, I can't really help much on the TA front, but if you'd like to...

7:32pm on 4/7/26 by JERancher

...chat ideas or logistics, please don't hesitate to ask. The trip was wonderful, and it was a real joy to put the puzzle pieces together.

7:33pm on 4/7/26 by JERancher

@blast...send me an email at markrkrush at gmail dot com and ill send you contact info for a good agent.

7:53pm on 4/7/26 by Phil H. Magic

Ooh. I'm also planning a London trip for next fall. I also love planning so wasn't going to use a TA but haven't really had any free time lately to do the research. Id love to chat with you both. I'll start a forum thread for the three of us to chat.

7:55pm on 4/7/26 by evamarie320

Count me in, heading to London/Norway in July 2027 with 2 DDs

8:16pm on 4/7/26 by Ali Ababwa

I'm newer to the TA world but am all-inclusive, not just Disney! I did study in London and am heading on a trip to Ireland in June with 30 family members ha! I'd love to give a hand if able with the booking pieces, even if you prefer the planning...

12:17pm by LaurenInWonderland

... piece yourself, an agent can help with the details and pass along any potential perks. I can be found @laureninwonderlandtravels on IG or the same name @ yahoo.com for email :)

Oooh @lauren, my DS is studying at Cambridge for fall semester next year. I'd love some general tips about living/studying abroad in the UK! I'd also welcome any and all advice from our UK liner experts. (Sorry to hijack the thread).

1:07pm by Rjcsmom

@RJ the best thing to me about studying abroad is the host company will have access to so many great opportunities for participants. My favorite things were related to local life. Pub stops, slow walks along the Thames, chatting w small shop owners, etc!

2:18pm by LaurenInWonderland

Thank you @lauren!
