Not sure if it's been brought up, so apologies in advance. Our trip is 2 weeks out. How has everyone been handling the lettuce situation? I know produce at say.. The Land.. is prob safe. What's the situation for the rest of the resort?

You could also try asking your server at very beginning of meal before ordering who lettuce supplier is. Have done this at home 2x before ordering salads while out. It helped me for peace of mind :-)

I'm with you. I'm scared of lettuce. I did have a Caesar salad at Aulani Sunday hopeful it was a farm to table thing. So far so good. Otherwise I've been eating crap like fries to avoid lettuce. Quite ironic.

12:38am by Rhondak0000

A few restaurants, such as Tiffins, usually have lettuce from the land. I just got off a cruise and skipped all lettuce. At home I am sticking to local hydroponic lettuce.

I cooked 3 kinds of meat for our Cavalier but nothing for us. We ate only sweet corn fresh from the fields.

11:15pm on 7/28/26 by snowdiz

@joey, put some cojita cheese on that as well as the other two. Heaven

Oops, Cotija cheese.

Its very important to know, @Kluck! I wanted a Bailey's floater on my espresso martini. So sad I couldn't get it.

7:03pm on 7/28/26 by Jennyhirsch

We ate there last summer so not super recent. Some of the influencers I follow really hyped it up and said it had improved immensely so we gave it a try We were not impressed. Very marginal. The bread was pretty good but not good enough for us to return

11:56pm on 7/28/26 by tanyaindisney

I lie.....it was April of this year not last summer. :)

12:00am by tanyaindisney

Ok i have a funny ask. Im going to be in disney for the next 4 weeks. And im in the middle of job interviews that require more professional clothes. Know of any local stylists? Ive been a tomboy all my life. I live in mickey shirts and sprit jerseys.Help!

6:01pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

Ime looking at these online stylist companies and the reviews dont seem great. Is there a thing where someone goes shopping with you for a few hours to see what actually fits well?

6:01pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

No personal experience but I know that both Nordstrom and Ann Taylor offer in-store styling appointments.

6:10pm on 7/28/26 by CitrusSwirlGirl

I have zero style. Blue Jean shorts and tshirts . Good luck .

6:40pm on 7/28/26 by burfe1501

Zero style here too! I shop at costco. And uniqlo. :p

6:55pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

To keep it simple, I would go to Ann Taylor and ask them for help. Plenty of cute, professional, reasonably priced clothes. They'd probably love to have someone to dress!

6:56pm on 7/28/26 by hol74976

Used to love anntaylor early in my career - will try that!

7:03pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

Wear your Mickey shirts and spirit jerseys, but curl your hair. You'll be set.

7:03pm on 7/28/26 by trishr.

Go to an Ann Taylor Factory Store, @totsy. Same quality, good selection, better prices. Pretty sure there's one in the outlets near Disney.

7:08pm on 7/28/26 by utang44

If you contact a department store like Macys, you can make a personal stylist appointment to try things on in the store. My mom's very well dressed friend has always done this. I am more on the tomboy side. :-) Good luck in the interviews, @Totsy!

7:17pm on 7/28/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Stich fix is my go to. Their pants always fit me!!

7:22pm on 7/28/26 by Phillylaura

When I had to 'adult' my professional wardrobe, I got several prices from LOFT. I think on Liner recommendation, too. Same parent company as Ann Taylor.

7:34pm on 7/28/26 by moondance07

And by adult i mean - finally got rid of my right-out-of-college stuff. Wore that stuff many many years.

7:41pm on 7/28/26 by moondance07

I have had good experiences at White House Black Market with salespeople helping me. I think they may also be owned by Ann Taylor parent company. WHBM is one of the few places remaining big where I can find petite sizes.

7:45pm on 7/28/26 by evamarie320

Thanks for all these recommendations! loft was where I built my grad school interviewing wardrobe. Probably worth a look again!

7:50pm on 7/28/26 by Totsypooh

Nordstrom used to have that kind of help. But their service has gone way downhill ... not sure if they still do

Talbots got me jobs/professional school entry in my 20s and my 50s. Joyless purchases but needed. Engage a seamstress or tailor if needed. I'm old! You kids get offa my lawn!

11:03pm on 7/28/26 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Chicos also have stylists that help. There are stores in Winter Park and Winter Garden. Also an outlet nearby, I'm told.

11:13pm on 7/28/26 by snowdiz

Who was looking for Nike polos in the parks. I just saw this about them being online. Not sure if this is news or if they're always available online but wanted to share in case. https://wdwnt.com/2026/07/new-star-wars-pixar-and-mickey-mouse-nike-golf-polo

We booked Mears connect for our upcoming trip. Someone has recently told me that I should've received a QR code to access the bus. We have not received such a code. Should I be concerned?

8:18pm on 7/28/26 by goofygardiner

I contacted them by email, but I have not yet received a reply.

8:19pm on 7/28/26 by goofygardiner

You'll get an email containing the QR code the day before you are scheduled to use the service. They will text you the QR code as well

8:30pm on 7/28/26 by JoeyPotter98

The email will arrive about 24 hours before your departure time

9:42pm on 7/28/26 by cdlla

First visit in years that falls during Food & Wine. Any intel on when to expect menus to come out? I do have the app downloaded.

5:11pm on 7/28/26 by Call me Leota

Us too - following along for intel.

5:15pm on 7/28/26 by DestinyCalled

Last year the Festival started on the 28th and menus were released on the 13th. Disney usually keeps to about the same schedule (about 2 weeks before the festival).

5:33pm on 7/28/26 by PrincipalTinker

Thanks @PT, I will make a note to start checking around that timeframe. I'm sure I will have a million questions before we go lol!

8:08pm on 7/28/26 by Call me Leota

Also waiting for menus!

8:34pm on 7/28/26 by RememberWhen

We are staying at Grand Flo for the first time ever. We want to rope drop HS- do we drive our rental car or take the bus? For both, when should we be ready to leave?

10:05am on 7/22/26 by HallofPOTUS

collapse thread

This is more of a question if younare a bis person or car person. Lol. We are car people so we would drive. Parking lot opens an hour before park open. So leave 75 minutes before Early Entry to allow for 15 minutes to get there!

12:45pm on 7/22/26 by Jennyhirsch

I think general bus consensus is to be at bus stop 90 minutes before park open? Not sure about that.

12:46pm on 7/22/26 by Jennyhirsch

If you are in Sago Cay, way faster to get to bus stop past Gasparilla Grill, shortcutting across employee arrival/backstage area towards conv center, hang a left and bus stop is there. Easier than all the walking thru main lobby, just not scenic.

12:48pm on 7/22/26 by Jennyhirsch

I always have a rental these days. I agree, drive and leave 75 minutes before EE.

1:37pm on 7/22/26 by PrincipalTinker

We are at big pine key.

11:06am on 7/23/26 by HallofPOTUS

Oh well, you will have a walk to both bus stop or car thru lobby. I forgot in my calculations how far away guest parking is at GF, but that's when I detail DH or an adult child to go get the car and bring it around to the porte cochere.

11:13am on 7/23/26 by Jennyhirsch

I am that DH! Funny!

11:16am on 7/23/26 by HallofPOTUS

From Big Pine I never go through the lobby. I just go on the path near the DVC pool to the main parking lot.

11:30am on 7/23/26 by PrincipalTinker

From BPK, we always go thru the lobby, but we travel in July--so it's HOT!! We never have a car when go to Disney, we depend on buses and mono. We always get to bus stop at 700am, no matter if it's AK or HS. That's what works for us.

4:45pm on 7/23/26 by jbreen25

Great, I think we have decided to go bus. Does anyone know when the actual first bus leaves? The first bus is always earlier than the suggested times says. Also, for monorail on our MK day?

2:09pm on 7/25/26 by HallofPOTUS

On MK day you're better off walking to the park. Monorail doesn't run early enough.

2:22pm on 7/25/26 by allanadale

Be at bus stop 90 minutes before park open seems to be rule of thumb. Others know better than me though.

3:43pm on 7/25/26 by Jennyhirsch

Agree with @jenny. All parks. All hotels. First bus is between 75&90 min before EE. Closer to 90 at the multi stop resorts. Closer to 75 at the one stop resorts like GF.

4:16pm on 7/25/26 by evamarie320

I just looked at my notes from June 3rd. Security from the GF walking path opened 1 hour and 3 minutes before the official start of EE (7:27) turnstiles opened at 7:53. I thought the monorail issue was sometimes it is too early and will repeat loop?

6:45pm on 7/25/26 by PrincipalTinker

Correct about the monorail. If you arrive before 60 minutes before early entry the doors will stay closed and you make the loop.

6:56pm on 7/25/26 by popupcamper

All I know is, we were first at the TTC last year (walked from Poly) and the only option when we were let in was the ferry boat. Which worked out perfectly - we still beat everyone from the buses.

8:28pm on 7/25/26 by allanadale

Thank you to everyone for advice. If we walk what time should we leave the room?

8:14am on 7/26/26 by HallofPOTUS

Walk to bus stop for HS? Or walk to MK? Although since my brain engages as I type rather than before I type, I'd think the walk to both is about 15 minutes.

8:22am on 7/26/26 by Jennyhirsch

Walking from BPK took us 15 min in March, including stops for pictures. We left the room around 7:20 I think

8:48am on 7/26/26 by KLuck

I think we have decided to walk to MK and bus to HS. If walk at 7:30, we should be ok?

4:29pm on 7/28/26 by HallofPOTUS

You will not be at the front of rope drop if you leave at 7:30.

5:34pm on 7/28/26 by PrincipalTinker

7am?

Lol! This is where you need to decide if you are going to "rope drop like a boss" or rope drop like my family. My family (at their best!) gets to entrance 5 minutes before open. Real rope droppers are 90 minutes before park open!

7:52pm on 7/28/26 by Jennyhirsch

HS will open taps an hour before opening

8:07pm on 7/28/26 by Phillylaura

Earlier in the thread I posted my experience with security opening at 7:27 and guests entering the park at 7:53. EE was at 8:30 and on that day I was off my second ride before 8:30. If you want to be in the front of the crowd I would leave GFV around 7:10
