Looking for honest opinions. The Springtime Suprise races now fall during my April POP BB reservation and if I move it I could lose my discount. So my question is how much do the races impact activities/travel time etc. All the info appreciated.

As long as you're not trying to get to an early expensive adr that you might be late for and you in general have a bit of an "it will all work out" attitude, race weekends are fine. It's the person who must be at x spit at y time who ends up cross.

I dont think it affects crowds in parks etc at all. Sunday probably the only day you may notice traffic on roads.

Now I see I replied to this without realising why the races now affect your trip.

Give me your honest review of the new Soarin. Based on what I've seen in YouTube I am inclined to skip it. I really wish they had kept The World version.
8:07pm on 6/16/26 by
So you've got guardians and test track right?
10:30pm on 6/16/26 by
Yes but I am likely skipping Soarin ....

Is it still all wonky or does the new version avoid distortion?

SPRINGTIME SURPRISE - DATE CHANGED!!!! It's now April 8-11. If you've already booked rooms (like I have) time to get in and change it. @Hodg, does this change you being able to come?!

Not super related other than i can understand the frustration - I had a race at Kennedy Space Center rescheduled because of an Artemis launch (that didn't end up going that day). I wasnt able to reschedule and had to do it virtually, not at all the same.

I think the biggest issue we have with trying to change things around is that we just booked 2 nights at Hyatt in FL for pre cruise as DH found a great deal w membership. But that is non changeable, non refundable. DH says call to ask...

It's not the end of world if we don't get to the run- but we would not have booked a 2 week fun trip leaving DS20 home alone otherwise- we'dv done it once he was back to uni.

Yeti may be on the endangered species list so prob frowned upon to serve it
5:10pm on 6/16/26 by
If I go on the Yeti ride, I will Yak.

So like if you are at magic and are like hmm I want to eat at disney springs with the new bus rules coming does that mean you cant get back to magic using disney transportation and are trapped at disney springs?

Boats and the walking path to SSR will be restricted like the buses.

Finally made it to MCO Hyatt, left home more than 33 hours ago. May as well start our Shenkel list. 1. First time one of our bags didn't arrive, lucky I put pjs in my carryon. 2. First stay at MCO Hyatt, convenient with all the delays today.

@youcanfly, that would be fun.

The chocolate martini was fab back in December. If you drop into Scat Cat again - give it a try!

8. Wolfgang Puck, really good bruschetta and nice drinks. Also did the new Buzz and BTMR, both fun improvements. Lots of places effected by power outage at DS. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZrBl0yjTkZxDkwfGDNnTgJWHa_3qazvfxWlWs0/?igsh=NWtiY2drb2QwYzhl

Are there any discounts for magic bands? We have a trip coming up and need to purchase one new one.
11:03pm on 6/16/26 by
If your staying onsite. Purchase via the link on mde

I've booked for early Sept with a friend who's never stayed on property. Can't wait to introduce her to all the perks! We're at Beach Club & I'm wondering how the construction is going. Anyone been there lately? Thanks!

Thank you everyone!

I visited from Epcot about 1.5 weeks ago and didn't notice any scaffolding outside. We then took bus to MK and didn't notice any out front either. Huge contrast to what I saw early April.
11:10pm on 6/16/26 by
Crowd calendar shows Epcot a 3/10 on July 1 even though it closes at 5:30. I'm surprised it isn't predicting lower crowds for that day. We have park hoppers. Would you switch around your days to go to Epcot that morning for low crowds?
3:28pm on 6/16/26 by
I would. I often will go to MK on party days because the crowds are much lower and hop to another park later in the afternoon. What's going on at EPCOT on July 1st?
4:06pm on 6/16/26 by
We'll be there on 7/1 for this reason.
9:10pm on 6/16/26 by
We will be there this day too and hoping for low crowds. It is DD birthday and my guess is she hopes to ride Guardians as much as possible :-)
10:26pm on 6/16/26 by
If you're in EP on July 1, make sure you hit the Canada Pavilion - that's Canada Day! It's 159 this year!
11:09pm on 6/16/26 by
"What's cookin'?" Golf trip day in the Laurel highlands! Steak and cheese hoagies with fries or maybe onion rings. Let's look at what you are having for dinner tonight.
4:35pm on 6/16/26 by
Shrimp and corn chowder. Just realized I'm out of OldBay!
10:36pm on 6/16/26 by
Broccoli Gruyere soup and french bread , my son has the icks
10:51pm on 6/16/26 by
Homemade burgers on the grill & french fries in the air fryer. Blueberry pie for dessert and I enjoyed an IPA from a craft brewery in Etobicoke, ON, Canada.
