Okay this is an early entry question for your early morning people how early do I need to get there to be first in line for rope drop

The monorail doors won't open at MK until 60 minutes before. So if you get on the monorail before that time you ride the rails. The boat will get you there but not as early as walking. Walking would get you there fastest. Mono is next. Boat is last.

Have also made monorail mistake - we had no idea. Wasn't fun to see any empty MK as you rode by to arriving like you didn't know how to rope drop- which I guess technically we didn't, lol.

I once did the above but got off at CR because it will stop there, then the shorter walk from CR to MK. However if you are ok with long walks, the walk from Poly to GF to MK is so nice.

I thought I remembered convention tickets needing a park res? When I try to make one it says I don't need it.

10:19pm on 3/6/26 by MTrib

They don't need a reservation you just have to fall in the convention dates

10:25pm on 3/6/26 by WorldTraveler34

There was a time I did.

11:24pm on 3/6/26 by popupcamper

I believe this changed when convention tix became date based

6:51am by rickelwoman

Thanks! Just don't want to find out on my prebooking day that I needed a reservation after all.

NDR...any recommendations for a safe, clean hotel near the convention center in New Orleans?

I just saw that there's an iron man coaster on one of the cruise ships- How's that going to work to control lines ? I thought cruises are supposed to be relaxing but it sounds like there's just as many lines and things you need to wake up early to book

Cool!

8:54pm on 3/6/26 by TumbleMonkeys

It's on the Adventure out of Singapore - only sea days with no ports so things on the ship will be busy - glad to hear they are having you book times!

That's exciting @totsy- let us know how it goes!

First day complete on my first solo Disney cruise. Met some wonderful ladies and am having a great time ! Sleeping with the veranda door open :)

11:09pm on 3/6/26 by bzdisney14

Enjoy you earned and deserved it

11:29pm on 3/6/26 by WorldTraveler34

Nice! Have a great cruise.

11:45pm on 3/6/26 by h2olly

Nice! I am so tempted to try cruising solo!

12:12am by njhyndman

Awesome! We just got off the Dream yesterday and are looking to book our next Disney cruise soon! Enjoy!

Anyone recently rope drop Guardians from the International Gateway using early entry? If so, what time did you get to the IG and how did things work out for you? Planning on giving it a go tomorrow AM.

Found my old comments. I only waited a total of 20 minutes to get on a ride vehicle. Most of that time was spent slowly walking through queue and in the 2 pre-show rooms with the videos. When I exited, the hordes from regular entry were arriving at GoTG.

8:02pm on 3/6/26 by h2olly

I then did single rider at TT with no wait. Then FEA/TT/Soarin' GoTG LLs and school bread in Norway. Was back in room in Aruba 55 taking nap by 11:30. Was a fabulous morning.

8:03pm on 3/6/26 by h2olly

Thanks for detailed reply @h2olly! We're on our way to the IG now.

NDR: we are headed to NYC for spring break. I have a theatre kid and a music kid so we are seeing several shows on Bway (including Daniel Radcliffe in "Every Brilliant Thing"). Any recommendations for restaurants near Times Sqr?

5:55am on 3/5/26 by shockbl

collapse thread

Or any restaurants in other locales that you would not miss?

5:56am on 3/5/26 by shockbl

Not near Times Square, but we never miss going to Taverna di Bacco an Italian restaurant on Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side. So good!

8:19am on 3/5/26 by BraveDisgrrl

I'm a tourist but I think John's pizza in a church in Times Square is cool.

8:22am on 3/5/26 by TumbleMonkeys

We also like Joe Allen's in the theater district.

8:22am on 3/5/26 by BraveDisgrrl

With teens I'd do The Elgin. A pub with good food and nice atmosphere. With just adults ai like Aldo Sohm Wine Bar.

8:50am on 3/5/26 by evamarie320

It's touristy, but we live Junior's on 45th. The food is good, the cheesecake is delicious (share mains, get your own cheesecake). We also like Max Brenner, it's on Broadway, but downtown, near Union Square.

11:07am on 3/5/26 by NYGIANTMickeyFan

Another vote for Juniors!

11:09am on 3/5/26 by HakunaMatata93

We did the Elgin- was good but very loud for hard of hearing in-laws

11:11am on 3/5/26 by hodg

Other place we took in-laws was Ellen's Stardust diner- totally touristy & average food really but a fun place to go. Prefer bfast there really. Poss not great pre show tho as you have to wait in line to get in.

2:16pm on 3/5/26 by hodg

We love Juniors!

6:55pm on 3/5/26 by ejhnstn

You can't go wrong with NYC diner food. We found a little hole in the wall diner in Hell's Kitchen that had incredible French toast with cream cheese and fruit.

8:57pm on 3/5/26 by torgo1

Had amazing Korean! A kid I coached 25 years ago is a part owner! Seoul Bap 55 W 27th St (Btw 6th and b'way)

5:18am on 3/6/26 by IMarriedMyEllie

I'm hearing lots of great things about the Daniel Radcliffe show! Make sure you go really early- he comes out into the audience beforehand!!

5:19am on 3/6/26 by hauntedmansionnurse

So cool.

6:48am on 3/6/26 by hodg

A few weeks ago we stayed on 49th street and there was always a line to get into Ichiran Ramen (49th st near 7th ave). I assume it must be great. And small. But I haven't eaten there. Or maybe it's just a TikTok sensation.

9:18am on 3/6/26 by evamarie320

Juniors!

10:22am on 3/6/26 by hookiegood

A tip from someone here a while back (I asked a similar question re: pizza)....just find and follow construction workers. They know the best pizza/diners in town!!

2:52pm on 3/6/26 by hlbyers

Following!!

5:12pm on 3/6/26 by SplitStayfortheWin

Becco on W 46th. Nice Italian place owned by Lydia Bastianich. Ate there recently when seeing Hamilton.

6:32pm on 3/6/26 by allanmayo

When I used to audition in New York, Marseille in Hell's Kitchen was also a go to for French. It's been there for decades and is a really good brassiere. On the corner of 9th Ave and W 44th.

6:38pm on 3/6/26 by allanmayo

I ate at Mermaid Oyster Bar yesterday before watching a show. i liked it! Also if you feel like good dimsum for a change try Tim Ho Wan. Or if you can snag a reservation Din Tai Fung is excellent. My kids would say Olive Garden Times Square. (Not kidding)

Da Marino is the go to Italian restaurant in that area. My friend Craig is the owner. You won't be disappointed.

Ugh. I have the worst airline luck. Flight out of MCO delayed 2 hours. I will have 20 minutes to de-plane and change gates at that huge airport before boarding starts for my Little Rock flight. Have a bad feeling I will be in a crappy Atlanta motel tonigh

Made it to Atlanta. Connection delayed also. Will get to Little Rock at 2:30 AM. Home is an hour away. So tired. But last week was worth it!

11:47pm on 3/6/26 by h2olly

Hope you're nearly home now.

2:54am by hodg

Thanks hodg. Got home at 3:30 AM-half hour ago. Now I am wide awake so doing the worst thing possible....random scrolling. Just took melatonin and had warm bath so should help,,

5:11am by h2olly

Ugh, so hard to travel with high school kids. They have fall break but a Thursday night football game that week. I was prepared for Friday night but Thursday. Dang it.

11:17am on 3/6/26 by mary32830

Our area added a lot of Friday school holidays, which means no Friday games under district policy.

3:57pm on 3/6/26 by TumbleMonkeys

We make it work but it does make fitting the puzzle pieces trickier. Thursday night games due to multiple schools sharing stadium. They should just come to ours - 1 school and seats 18000 :-)

5:36pm on 3/6/26 by mary32830

A game when school is on break is odd. This is why we brave the heat and go in summer.
