As someone who typically rents a car, I have never used a grocery delivery service but will need one for next week. Would be interested in Liners recommendations and experiences (good or bad). I saw saw a video recommending instacart and Publix. Thanks.

For Pop Century room request, they are only letting me choose ground floor/higher floor/50s section/70s section. Is that normal to not be able to choose facing the lake or other options? It's a drop down menu, I can't make comments

If we submitted a room request before TP was no longer able to, do we need to submit one again on our own? Or was the last batch of requests accepted by Disney? (My trip was more than 30 days out at the time the last requests were sent).

I love reading Shenkel lists, so here is our list of firsts from our trip last week. 1)Ale & Compass Lounge for dinner on arrival day. We had the wings and French onion flatbread and both were yummy. We stayed at YC, so it was convenient.

2:14pm by MicheleandtheBeast

collapse thread

2) We finally tried Regal Eagle on a day the F&G festival was done. We have lots of good BBQ at home, but it was pretty good. 3) Pressed coins! We bought a pressed coin book for my niece's bday and got a few to get her started for her collection.

2:17pm by MicheleandtheBeast

4) New Animation Courtyard at HS. This is a nice new area, with some green spaces and seating. The roaming characters were cute. 5) We finally got the churros at Nomad's! They were delicious.

2:20pm by MicheleandtheBeast

6) I had a service dog in the boat in front of me on iasw. I've seen lots of service dogs in the parks, but I've never seen one on a ride! And when we were getting off, there was another one getting ready to board!

2:22pm by MicheleandtheBeast

7) The cookie dough brownie ice-cream sandwich at AK. I had seen it all over Instagram, so I decided to try it. It was fine, but I wouldn't wait in a long line for it. My line wasn't long at all at Terra Treats, & they sell it at another cart now too.

2:24pm by MicheleandtheBeast

8) DH rode the new Soarin' (it makes me motion sick). He really enjoyed the new scenes and scents! 9) Dinner at Garden Grill. We've done breakfasts here, but this was the 1st dinner. The 40% AP discount was really nice and the food was pretty good.

2:27pm by MicheleandtheBeast

10) The Tinkerbell pic in the UK. There was no line, so we finally got it! 11) I rope-dropped Les Halles one of our EP days! I was going for the giant croissant, but they don't sell it until after 10, so I was forced to get the croque monsieur-yum!

2:29pm by MicheleandtheBeast

12) Aurora was just wandering around the gift shop outside Les Halles when it opened, and watching those meets was cute since the people were surprised to see her there. 13) Listened to SE in Spanish just for fun. I speak a little and it was my 2nd ride.

2:32pm by MicheleandtheBeast

14) I don't know their name, but there was some garden-themed performers behind SE. I miss the live entertainers, so am glad to see the ones they bring back. I still miss the HS citizens, the trolley performers in MK, and the Main Street people.

2:34pm by MicheleandtheBeast

15) AP character meet in EP with Chip and Dale. I love the little extras like this. I also got the AP cookie pop at Karamel Kuche and it was yummy! 16) The Cake Bake Shop restaurant. The salmon and pasta were good, but the carrot cake was divine!

2:37pm by MicheleandtheBeast

17) DVC Tour-we finally did one and got the 2 $100 GCs. We just did the tour at BW since we were staying at YC. We are crunching the numbers, but not sure it works for us right now. Maybe soon. 18) Carnival games on the Boardwalk.

2:40pm by MicheleandtheBeast

19) Tomorrowland Speedway-we couldn't believe we had never done it, so this was the time. DH and I are both tall and got in one car, which was hysterical getting in and out. We laughed the whole time, but it was probably one and done for us!

2:43pm by MicheleandtheBeast

That was it for this trip. Luckily since we drive from AL we are able to come 2-3 times a year, so I'm always surprised that we find new things to do each time. Until the next trip in December!

2:44pm by MicheleandtheBeast

Is it better to activate your AP on your first or last day of your trip? Would you suddenly need park reservations if you activate it on your first day? Would first day of AP be activation day or first day of your tickets from that trip? We have 5 day PH.

Beverage coolers - just saw someone cracked the Cooler Code, SFL:

4:10pm on 6/1/26 by Ali Ababwa

collapse thread

Press and hold the function button for 2-3 seconds - the interior light should flash. 1 flash = 54F/12C 3 flashes = 45F/7C 5 flashes = 39F/4C Press the function button to cycle through the temperature settings.

4:11pm on 6/1/26 by Ali Ababwa

After a period (12-24 hours?) the red LED will illuminate and the cooler will stop cooling. Press the function button to reset the red LED and the cooler will return to your chosen temperature.

Has POR changed to beverage coolers? When we were at POR at the end of April, our room had a traditional mini refrigerator with a manual dial on the back of the unit for setting the temperature.

In Walt Disney World resort rooms, the temperature function button is typically a small black or grey button located inside the cooler, either along the bottom front lip or on the interior ceiling.

9:30pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

How to Adjust and Reset the Temperature Locate the Function Button: Open the cooler door and look at the bottom frame near the front or the upper interior ceiling.

9:30pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

Adjust the Temperature: Press and hold the function button for 2-3 seconds until the interior light flashes.Set the Degree: Press the function button repeatedly to cycle through the cooling modes:1 flash: ~54? F3 flashes: ~45? F5 flashes: ~39? F

9:30pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

Resetting a Red Light: If the cooler stops cooling and illuminates a red LED, press the function button once to clear the error and return the cooler to your previous temperature setting

9:31pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

Those instructions are accurate for specific digital Danby and IDW electronic beverage coolers found in several refurbished Walt Disney World resort rooms (such as the rooms at Disney's Port Orleans Resorts)

9:35pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

Many Disney resorts-including Disney's Coronado Springs Resort-utilize an older or alternative beverage cooler that does not have a flashing function button. Where to look: Open the door and check the bottom-left interior corner or the upper back wall.

9:37pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

How to reset/adjust: Look for a physical rotating dial numbered 1 through 5, or Min to Max. Turn it clockwise toward "Max" to force the compressor to lower the temperature.

WDW list of resorts with beverage coolers and referigerators: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/refrigerators/

4:07pm on 6/8/26 by Ali Ababwa

There seem to be a variety of beverage cooler models in place: Standard rooms at Disney's Contemporary Resort feature built-in beverage coolers (typically compact Magic Chef or Danby units) rather than traditional mini-fridges. They cool down to about 41?

4:08pm on 6/8/26 by Ali Ababwa

"Disney installs these Magic Chef and Danby units deep inside custom cabinetry. This placement completely blocks access to the cooling controls."

4:10pm on 6/8/26 by Ali Ababwa

What I'd suggest is trying to determine the manufacturer name and then querying AI "how to reset lowest temperature of (brand name) beverage cooler at WDW"

I think like park hours they are updated on a Friday and 1 to 2 weeks prior to your date. It's so frustrating because sometimes I want to see hours before making plans

12:50pm on 6/8/26 by CBCTravels

Do they also update the hours then too? Or is the week of the 4th probably already what it will be?

7:10pm by CBCTravels

They update hours and parades about two weeks out on a Friday. So I wouldn't expect 7/4 to be final until 6/19.

That $240 SSR 1BR is the lowest recorded May price for that room. For the BW: has not been a great year for BW studios, this price is likely the lowest and last one we'll see for June.

This is near the bottom of prices for this room in December. Last year we saw a bit more than a dozen listings around or below this price as the year continued, but volume this year so far is much lower:

Just a question about rentals. If not rented, is the money lost?

10:44am on 5/25/26 by 58breezy

@58, do you mean for the owner? It depends. Some points need to be used or owner loses them. But often if it's not rented the owner just cancels and puts those points on another rental.

10:52am on 5/25/26 by evamarie320

If you mean for the re tee, yes if you rent points and then don't use them it's often a loss for the renter. Some agencies have exceptions or "insurance" tho.

Has anyone here done karaoke at Kimono's at the Swan? We LOVE some karaoke but are wondering how kid friendly this setting is? It says it's 9:30 - 1:00a. Just feeling out if this is worth making time for with the fam on our upcoming trip?

8:52pm by dmwiggins

I believe @totsy did this. Hopefully someone will chime in

9:01pm by youcanfly

I was just going to say, I think @Totsy did this with a kid or two and liked it a lot!

9:11pm by TumbleMonkeys

@totsy I'm excited to hear your feedback. We want to do this but want to make sure we're not throwing DS9 and DS12 into an environment that will be uncomfortable.
