"What's cookin'?" Tonight's selection will be Bacon-Tomato Linguine. I'm adding spinach to the recipe for color and deliciousness. Dessert will be Doppelkek cookies. What will grace your dinner table tonight?

Leftovers. Still darn good

9:42pm on 5/12/26 by MOJoe

Dimmer in arrendel on the wish, scallops, rib eye & a dessert I cldnt pronounce. Surprisingly fun evening.

11:37pm on 5/12/26 by hodg

I was too wiped after a 12 hr non stop busy shift to cobble anything together. DH brought us cheese and crackers and pickles. It was heavenly. Too many pregnant women broke their water prematurely today!! Not sure what's in the air.

Planning on hitting MK and epcot in mid June but staying off site. Does TRON, SDMT and Cosmic Rewind typically have single pass availability 3 days out for a family of 4?

3:52pm on 5/12/26 by ceptigers@hotmail.com

This chart should give you a good idea: https://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/lightning-lane

4:28pm on 5/12/26 by utang44

I think the simple answer is no

11:55pm on 5/12/26 by hodg

We were able to get Guardians in late April 3 days out.

I need recommendations for a park bag. My Vera Bradley Disney backpack is just too hot for our summertime trips. I love a cute loungefly, but carry a water bottle and the loungefly is too small. Any recommendations?

Favorite way to get to WDW from Orlando airport for a family of 7 with luggage and we want to all go in one vehicle.

Gearfusion.

7:26pm on 4/26/26 by Jennyhirsch

Agreed. They meet you at the luggage and take you to their private exit. We really like GearFusion.

7:28pm on 4/26/26 by MrsNesbitt05

Sometimes renting a vehicle might cost less for that many people. Depends on how long you're staying. Plus this way you can go to the grocery store for snacks!

7:35pm on 4/26/26 by PackFan0202

We still need use Mears and pretend it's the Magical Express.

7:47pm on 4/26/26 by cobia

Gear Fusion user here, too. They will stop for groceries if you want to, instead of having the groceries delivered to resort. 35 minutes beats 2.5 hours on Mears.

8:05pm on 4/26/26 by cdlla

@cdlla does Mears really take that long?

6:19am on 4/30/26 by stosh13

We have never been on Mears for longer than 55 minutes. That was to YC we were last.

7:24am on 4/30/26 by Magicalday2011

Sunday, Mears Connect at Terminal B to the Grand Flo for me was 1 hour 54 minutes at about 2pm. Waited to board bus, waited to leave and was 5th/last stop. With Mears a lot depends

7:39am on 4/30/26 by McMinnie

I'd definitely rent a car, for a party of that size you're going to want to stop at Walmart and get supplies.

8:26am on 4/30/26 by Ali Ababwa

I'd opt for a car service, which can accommodate larger parties. They'll pick you up at baggage claim and ferry you away. We use Orlando Magical Rides and love them. I wouldn't rent a car unless you plan to drive around Disney.

8:33am on 4/30/26 by utang44

Yes. Mears we have had 2-2.5 hours several times (my last experience was just over 2 hours and 15 minutes last May). Waited 35 minutes to board then we sat for another 30 minutes before we left. Riviera was stop 4 out of 4. I now use car service

10:57am on 4/30/26 by cdlla

Tiffany Towncar is great.

12:17pm on 4/30/26 by Figment20

Away We Go

12:47pm on 4/30/26 by awvy

Less than a hour for me on Mears to POP on Sunday. Bus left after I got on, POP was second stop.

6:21pm on 4/30/26 by missWishes

Thanks for all the information and options. Its always get to know what to expect.

8:36pm on 4/30/26 by stosh13

Orlando Magical Rides has large vehicle options and car seats. I've used them several times with zero complaints.

@stosh I received an email from GF for 10% off large vehicles for larger parties. enjoy 10% off our premium 6-7 passenger SUVs and spacious 11-14 passenger vehicles-designed to deliver comfort, style, and seamless transportation for your group.

10:07am on 5/5/26 by Magicalday2011

Thank you for asking this. We have six on our next trip and I was debating using a car service instead of Lyft. Gear fusion has bag drop as an extra service, anyone know what they mean by that?

11:23am on 5/5/26 by ladyulrike

@lady, my understanding is if you want them to drop you off somewhere besides your hotel, they'll take your bags to your hotel for you. (Like if you want to go to Blizzard Beach they'll take you there and then take your bags to your hotel.)

12:33pm on 5/5/26 by popupcamper

Oh, that could definitely be useful depending on arrival day plans. Thank you

5:28pm on 5/5/26 by ladyulrike

Thanks for the bag drop tip also. That might be a game changer if we want to hit up a water park.

I just booked gearfusion, only 209 for a family of 7. Maers would not be much cheaper. Thanks for the help

7:45pm on 5/12/26 by stosh13

National on most trips.

Planning on doing tiffins for dinner then going to Pandora and hopping in line for FOP right before a 6pm park close. How early should we make our tiffins ADR? Just 2 of us.

Good morning! Is there someone who could remind me how zombie stacking works? Particularly I'm wondering if tiers unlock when your first lightning Lane expires. I don't think it does, but maybe I'm wrong?

10:02am on 5/12/26 by kslawyergirl

...view 2 more comments

Also if your first LL converts to an MEP and you use that it doesn't unlock tiers either.

12:48pm on 5/12/26 by melcort10

Interesting to know about the MEP, thanks for that. Thanks everyone!

7:18pm on 5/12/26 by kslawyergirl

But if your first converts to an MEP you can book another immediately as well. (True for all MEP conversions)

Chloe (the 12 year old poodle we rescued last year) is having a great 1st trip. We arrived yesterday around 2:30 & are cabin was ready before we even got our golf cart. After putting everything away, we grilled some burgers & then headed down near marina.

Chloe had a pup cup from the bar window & we had a few cocktails & sat in the rocking chairs. We then went to the campfire for a bit & made smores! Sooo good!! Chloe didn't nap at all! It was a lot for her, but she had so much fun! Today, I went for a run

8:49pm on 5/9/26 by Kimluvsdisney

And then took her for a walk in the stroller. She really loves it here! We set up our Wyze camera. We had read that you can't connect it to WDW WiFi, so we used the hotspot from DHs work phone. Worked perfectly & we were able to watch her while we went to

8:51pm on 5/9/26 by Kimluvsdisney

Pool. We grilled a great late lunch & then went to meet Chip n Dale!! It was sooo great & pretty empty. We got another pup cup after that & we're staying in to rest tonight! DH & I are going to MK early tomorrow. I still haven't been on Tianna's, so just

8:53pm on 5/9/26 by Kimluvsdisney

That & maybe BTMR. My mom is with us so she will stay with Chloe in the morning & then Mother's Day dinner at HDDR. I posted the Chip n Dale photos in IG. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYIooRmk-af/?igsh=am10Nzh4MzZ4Mm93

8:54pm on 5/9/26 by Kimluvsdisney

What a great picture! Have fun :)

8:57pm on 5/9/26 by cdlla

When I die I want to come back as @Kims dog.

9:24pm on 5/9/26 by MOJoe

Thanks @cdlla! Haha @mojoe! We just want her to live her best life:)

9:36pm on 5/9/26 by Kimluvsdisney

Hooray! I've been hoping for Chloe photos! So cute!

10:50am on 5/10/26 by snowdiz

Of course Chloe is dressed up! All of yall are adorable.

10:56am on 5/10/26 by popupcamper

Thanks @popup! We are having a blast:) Such a fun place for a doggie vaca!!!

11:33am on 5/10/26 by Kimluvsdisney

Oh my!! Love love love the photos!! Glad you are having a good trip!

2:17pm on 5/10/26 by VikeQueen

https://imgur.com/a/3lscBrO some more Chloe pics this morning! We went up front to get her magnet photo this morning. They do a free magnet for the dogs! It will be ready in a day or 2.

8:34am on 5/11/26 by Kimluvsdisney

Chloe is doing great. She was so tired after the first day, but she's back to taking naps & sleeping through the night! Last night we did HDDR, so much fun & so much food! We came back to the cabin & were planning to go back out, but we all fell asleep!

8:45am on 5/11/26 by Kimluvsdisney

DH has been grilling bacon & now he's making pancakes! The two of us are heading to Epcot later & my mom is staying here with Chloe. She will probably go to the pool. We have the camera set up & Chloe has been sleeping while we are gone.

8:46am on 5/11/26 by Kimluvsdisney

The first time we tried to leave her she cried, but we had all the curtains open. I went back & closed them & then she was fine. We thought she might want to look outside, but it seemed to stress her out!

8:47am on 5/11/26 by Kimluvsdisney

We love FW a perfect place for our pup! A great walking path behind the marina gift shop. Have fun!

9:56am on 5/11/26 by 58breezy

We were able to connect to the wifi for our camera. We used dreamland nannies for our pooch sitter as my sister was unavailable and they were fabulous!

9:57am on 5/11/26 by 58breezy

Sweet Chloe! How much joy she has brought to you! We feel the same way about the rehomed Cavalier we adopted 3 years ago.

10:03am on 5/11/26 by snowdiz

Good to know @58! I had heard it was difficult to connect to the WDW WiFi because you had to agree to the terms & we couldn't do that on the camera.

https://imgur.com/a/Abiewo5 I love her magnet! They do these for free!! So nice :)

@kim, what a cute magnet of your precious dog!

10:08pm on 5/12/26 by MicheleandtheBeast

Bored at work so I started "just looking" at a resort only trip for the fall. DH was on board so I bought plane tickets, yay! Then I started looking at MNSSHP while we will be there, since we have never been, Cha-ching! It became a 'mostly' resort only*

We did the same thing last year for Labor Day weekend/anniversary, and we loved it. Which resort?

8:32pm on 5/12/26 by ejhnstn

I may or may not have booked a mostly resort trip for DW and I booked end of Summer. :D 30th anniversary of our first WDW trip together!

9:14pm on 5/12/26 by JJT (staff)

We are 6 days out and I just purchased LLMP however there aren't great times. Does anyone know if additional drops happen prior to the Park day??

1:48pm on 5/12/26 by techman05

No, but other people are constantly tweaking their LLs which opens up some spots for you. Worth stalking.

2:09pm on 5/12/26 by Jennyhirsch

I have found better options in advance, not necessarily drops at certain times. Day of options are more plentiful, even though I hate having phone in my face all day. We are off-site, so I can only book 3 days in advance.

2:10pm on 5/12/26 by snowdiz

I used Wait Magic in April, it did pretty well adjusting times for me so that I didn't have to check all the time. It found better times before and during the trip.

7:40pm on 5/12/26 by PeculiarMademoiselle

Any reviews of Sheraton Vistana Resort. We have stayed at the SV villages on International Dr but this appears to be closer to Marriott World Center. I've been wanting a getaway and this morning we booked. The deals when you use your Interval account are*

Lovely off-site location, got a great deal to stay there a few years ago through costco travel. Spacious rooms, kitchen, living area, pools

4:08pm on 5/12/26 by Experiment627

Great stay! Super easy to parks. Beautiful pool. We had 2nd floor and no elevator- but that didn't bother us. Just request room if steps are a problem. Also Chick-fil-A right at entrance so grab a coffee and biscuit on your way to parks.

5:15pm on 5/12/26 by jenc45

Thanks everyone! @thewholepie, we feel that way about Cypress Harbour and although we now have DVC too, we need more points lol. Good to know about Costco too. @jenC I don't travel light, do you recall if that's all buildings?
