DVC Moonlight Magic tips. Does anyone have any tips for getting tickets to moonlight magic events. I tried today for early registration with no luck. There's a general registration next week. I fear that one will have even fewer tickets available.

It used to be that more screens meant more chances but it sounds like you get only one queue number these days. Its really just luck - FYI the second round has much less spots than the first. Just that much demand vs spots

NDR.... Any casual restaurant recommendations in Phoenix, AZ? Thanks!!

10:39pm on 6/5/26 by fcoffey

Phoenix is huge. What area will you be in?

11:53pm on 6/5/26 by mkmuzzy

I went from Phoenix, Arizona, all the way to Tacoma, PhilaDELphia, Atlanta, L.A.

Northern California where the girls are warm so I could hear my sweet baby say...

Is every ride on MFSR the new Mandalorian mission, or does the group need to all select it? Not a huge fan of the ride, and I'll be solo, but I'll do SR and take the engineer position if it means babysitting Grogu!

I'm pretty sure all the missions are now the mandalorian theme. The special mode is an extra add on (like doing the Chewbacca mode in the original version). Our CM today didn't ask any of us, but had us do the sequence to get the grogu mode

11:28pm on 6/5/26 by FriendsWithTheMonster

But even in the regular (new) mode, you'll get some grogu

11:29pm on 6/5/26 by FriendsWithTheMonster

At DL one of the engineers (randomly chosen, I think) is instructed, mid-mission, to press button for which of three destinations will be set. Act quick, not a long time to choose. I assume WDW is same.

Looking for opinions on my tentative plan. Me, DH, DS4 and DD7. First time doing TS Dining. Not sure which days to get LL for and what backup meals to have in case I can't get what I picked Aug 18- flights to MCO and stay at country inn and suites.

8:59pm on 6/5/26 by tlrg4488

Aug 19 - take mears connect to all star sports and go BB Supper at Ohana. Aug 20 HS Day Lunch/supper at sci fi for Fantasmic? Aug 21 MK closes at 6 Crystal palace dinner. Aug 22 AK late breakfast at tusker house Aug 23 Epcot - Gar

9:01pm on 6/5/26 by tlrg4488

Aug 23. EP day - lunch/dinner at Garden Geill. Aug 24 MK (my birthday!) 1900 park fare? Aug 25 - head home

9:03pm on 6/5/26 by tlrg4488

You seem to like characters meals, like us, 1900 was good for brunch. Nice character interactions. If you cannot get Ohana 1st day try for Chef Mickeys? MK on party day is fantastic for low crowds. We left park @6 for Kona when we did this.

9:40pm on 6/5/26 by Magicalday2011

I was trying to get "value" for the TS dining plan. And it seemed like character meals helped us get there? Also means I don't need to stand in lines for characters for the kids haha. Chef Mickeys would be a good backup! Thanks!

10:12pm on 6/5/26 by tlrg4488

Do you guys have a checklist for preparation to the parks?

10:27am on 6/5/26 by ellie.guadron@hotmail.com

I like magic bands but whatever way you want to access tickets. If lots of kids and using your phone it might help to get cards. I also like water, sunglasses and chapstick in a small sling bag or backpack

1:05pm on 6/5/26 by jenc45

Pants shoes and shirt with a wallet, phone and drugs. it all fits in my packets. I am all set.

2:22pm on 6/5/26 by JackOfAll

Sunscreen chapstick water. I always take a coverup even in Aug in cs breeze kicks in or rain. Phone charger cord or portable charger

10:10pm on 6/5/26 by Magicalday2011

Can anyone link a conference for end of August? I'm striking out.

Her TA friend sounds like she needs to go back and review her Disney College of Knowledge. LOL But Aug 24 is part of that window so it should work. Good thing she has you & you have Liners!

8:34pm on 6/5/26 by DestinyCalled

In that case, TA stands for Totally Amiss.

9:37pm on 6/5/26 by JJT (staff)

In the 1990s you could stay and not ride. We did that in 1998?! In 2024 they were more controlled about getting you out and have CMs blocking off

10:01pm on 6/5/26 by Magicalday2011

How do I know know if lightning lane is available for a particular ride (RnRMuppets) before I buy lightning lane on a specific date?

8:17pm on 6/5/26 by irenek

You have to select the a ride to check out so if you don't like the selection don't check out. You can also get a good sense of availability through BG1 or thrill data.

8:20pm on 6/5/26 by Flutegarden

I like to use Thrill Data https://www.thrill-data.com/lightning-lane/

8:22pm on 6/5/26 by PrincipalTinker

And I use the touring plans LL availability data here: https://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/lightning-lane

10:00pm on 6/5/26 by evamarie320

Been out of the loop for a bit.With room cancel policy now 8d, can I book a throwaway res at campgd for days -7 to 0 so I can make LLMPs at day -14 for my entire real 7-day stay from day 0 to 7? Then cancel the campgd res and pay a 1-night cancel charge?

9:50pm on 5/27/26 by jeffg4

collapse thread

Wdw may cancel your LLs if you cancel. I keep the campground and use EE. I have ap so free parking does not help

9:53pm on 5/27/26 by JackOfAll

With the campground do an online check-in and you don't even have to show up

9:54pm on 5/27/26 by JackOfAll

In the old days of FP+, canceling a leading res did not result in loss of FPs. But in this case I would need to cancel the campgrd res bc while I'd be willing to pay for 1 throwaway nite to book earlier LLMPs,, I'm not willing to pay for 7.

10:49pm on 5/27/26 by jeffg4

Dont you forfeit the 7 days if you try to cancel at less than 8 days? Its not just a one night penalty?

10:59pm on 5/27/26 by Totsypooh

I don't believe there's a loophole with lightning lane. If you cancel you lose them.

11:24pm on 5/27/26 by Crazycatlady3

You forfeit the deposit (which is 1 night) if you cancel within 0-7 days. Just wanted to know if they closed the leading res loophole for LLs. Sounds like they did.

11:34pm on 5/27/26 by jeffg4

Ah ok. My understanding is that thats precisely why they moved to an 8 day cancel. (It used to be 5) -- to close the loophole when they moved from same day LL booking to 3/7 days before.

5:00am on 5/28/26 by Totsypooh

Stop booking throw away campsites. They took away free wp next year bc people were taking advantage of all these things just screw over actual campers (and takes up their spots too!).

5:23am on 5/28/26 by Flutegarden

What is a throw away?

2:03pm on 5/28/26 by JackOfAll

A throw away is like I talked about earlier - booking something you don't intend to use.

4:56pm on 5/28/26 by jeffg4

Why would you care. Wdw has rules and they make us follow them. What do you mean by "use".

5:30pm on 5/28/26 by JackOfAll

@jack- I have heard folks say that they care when perks (like the free water park on check-in day) are taken away from guests legitimately staying there. That happened bec Disney is seeing folks who aren't staying there still taking advantage of them.

7:22pm on 5/28/26 by JERancher

Actually i'm not looking to throw away, as I intend to modify or cancel w/in 8 days, so it can still be used by someone else. And willing to pay the 1-night penalty if anyone can confirm you don't lose your LLs if you cancel or modify w/in 8 days.

8:09pm on 5/28/26 by jeffg4

Where do we stand at paying for a campsite for onsite perks but never use the site?

10:41pm on 5/28/26 by JackOfAll

If youve paid for the room or campsite does it matter if you stay in there 5 hours or 12 or not at all as far as using the perks associated? The issue with WP is the $ value of the free tickets way outweighed cost of the site bec you could tag 8(?) people

11:24pm on 5/28/26 by Totsypooh

Too big of an arbitrage opportunity for people to ignore given the relatively low cost of a site

11:24pm on 5/28/26 by Totsypooh

They had to take the perk away so actual campers could stay. i think its sad that campers dont get to enjoy that perk anymore - but the alternative would be to raise prices on the campsites or lower the capacity. And they wont want that either

11:26pm on 5/28/26 by Totsypooh

I think they should have required a 2 or 3 night stay to get the perk but that would be IT would have to make changes.

4:45am on 5/29/26 by Flutegarden

When does it go away? I have 2 campsites for this June with WP's available and listed on my MDE. One is one day before a 4 day campsite. Then another 7 day campsite in Sept that shows in MDE also. Remember 2026 did not get anounced until end of 2025.

9:04pm on 5/29/26 by JackOfAll

It starts in 2027, @Jack. Was announced in April.

9:08pm on 5/29/26 by utang44

Well, it works for me this year.

10:08pm on 5/29/26 by JackOfAll

Well, it works for me this year.

10:08pm on 5/29/26 by JackOfAll

Maybe it's because new Lakeshore will have its own water park /lazyriver

I just reserved a campsite for a whopping $220 per night (my choice) and I don't even get the benefit of WP. The burner reservation is perfectly legit, and an excellent money saving trick. However, there are fewer than 800 campsites and that makes

11:19pm on 5/29/26 by trishr.

it difficult for folks who would actually like to stay there. I see it like SW's preboarding. If folks don't use a product/service as intended, then changes will be made which will negatively impact those who do need/use them.

11:30pm on 5/29/26 by trishr.

I was wondering the same thing bc I booked 4 days at All Star sports to stay in while we were doing universal bc it was discounted but then decided to stay at Uni instead for convenience. Only 99 for first night I would lose so wondering the same thing?

9:59pm on 6/5/26 by deedeeredding@comcast.net

How do I handle multiple days in one park? When we arrive we're doing a PM (1-2pm to close) in magic kingdom but then have another full magic kingdom day another day.

1:19pm on 6/5/26 by Jshorr2@gmail.com

We do it differently. Sometimes split park, sometimes double-up on favs and do others on each day. Sometimes do a rides focused day and a vibes/food focused day. I always create my own plans and add whatever I want to do.

8:42pm on 6/5/26 by DestinyCalled

I tend to use the plan to get an idea of what I want to do is likely. I sometimes optimize when there.

8:43pm on 6/5/26 by DestinyCalled

There is a 2 day touring plan and a half day for afternoon touring plan I believe. Look on website for the premade ones

9:58pm on 6/5/26 by Magicalday2011

I'm considering utilizing standby skipper or wait magic. Has anyone used these for their trips and if they have an opinion on one or the other or none. For awareness for past trips I have used BG1.
