Need HEA watching spot advice. Been a bonkers good day with WM and BG1. Want to be able to sit for the fireworks. I know we've done it before front and center but don't remember how we snagged the spot last minute.

There is nowhere in hub last minute with the parade now. It feels empty and delightful, last parade float passes, and behind it are 100s of people from Main Street who hopped up and followed behind the parade down to fill every spot in street.

Assuming that we get DAS what ride would you first get a return time for and what ride to dash to first at MK. I'm thinking Tron and SDMT but advice needed. TY

Assuming you are going to RD Early Entry? I would use DAS for both Tron and SDMT, those standby lines will be crowded and chaotic at RD, and using DAS/LL line will be much easier and calmer. Head to PP or SM or Buzz first, shorter standby lines.

7:38am on 4/17/26 by PeculiarMademoiselle

For our DAS kiddo, we try to minimize crowds and noise, so sometimes we RD things that seem odd! Like RD Astro Orbiter to avoid crowded elevator ride, and RD a tiny gift shop to browse before it's filled with people.

7:45am on 4/17/26 by PeculiarMademoiselle

Yes I'm assuming so .... Staying at C and coming from uk so up early! First DAS Tron then SDMT ??

7:45am on 4/17/26 by seastlake

You will be assigned a wait time for each DAS selection equal to the posted time, which WDW sometimes inflates to steer crowds. Alternate long wait attractions with shows, snacks, shopping, etc. to keep things moving.

9:22am on 4/17/26 by Ali Ababwa

DAS is not a big help at rope drop since you can't book it until inside the gates, and it will impose a long wait even if you're first in line. I'd rope drop a short wait attraction and book DAS simultaneously for a long wait ride.

9:24am on 4/17/26 by Ali Ababwa

That was my plan Ali. Just wanted to second guess what ride to immediately get DAS for.

12:57pm on 4/17/26 by seastlake

If your person with DAS rides everything, I'd probably do some very low wait attractions in FL and TL at RD and get DAS for SDMT, then Tron after you ride SD. (Tron won't be bookable during early entry bec it's not officially open.)

5:01pm on 4/17/26 by JERancher

^Back when we qualified for DAS, we had success with RDing PPF, Pooh, and either HM for second RD, or 1-2 other rides in the FL area. Roughly 15 min after official park open, our SDMT time would be up, and we'd go there. We'd continue in that vein with..

5:04pm on 4/17/26 by JERancher

...stuff like IASW, Teacups, etc, while using DAS for Space Mt, JC, BTMR, Pirates, and Tiana's. (Kiddo isn't a Tron fan, but that should be in here too.) Then when crowds got higher in the late morning or early pm, we'd slow down and do a sitdown...

5:06pm on 4/17/26 by JERancher

...lunch and shows, and use DAS as necessary. We'd usually be done by dinnertime or so with MK, earlier with the other three parks... usually about when my kiddos would be on the verge of meltdowns anyway. Anyway, that was just us. Good luck!

5:08pm on 4/17/26 by JERancher

My DAS DD rarely lasts 5 hours in the parks even on her best days.

@ali- yeah, people's needs that lead them to qualifying for DAS certainly can differ.

10:58pm on 4/17/26 by JERancher

Thank you JER. DS is adult and we've been multiple times but it will have been 4 years. Never done Tron but saw the construction

8:26am by seastlake

Just my impression, but I think WDW's review of DAS use in the parks led to the 2024 eligibility limits. They may also continue monitoring and assessing prior individual in-park DAS usage when making DAS decisions today.

For anyone wondering about dining with a split stay! My 60 days opened today for 1st hotel ressie. App/computer only showed ressies through 1st hotel length of stay. I called Disney @ 7am and they booked everything for my 2nd stay! So it can be done :)

9:22am by Smith107

You got lucky :)

When mk has extended hours for deluxe resorts can you still enter shops at park close. 9 is close and fireworks are at 9 and extended hours go to 11 pm. Can I go into stores after fireworks? I know no rides.

8:42pm on 4/17/26 by JodiF

Yep. Disney never misses an opportunity to separate you from your money ;)

8:48pm on 4/17/26 by cobia

They miss it in paris- close shops as soon as they can & kick you out after FW. Weird

3:20am by HOtD0G

Will shops stay open through EE? I assume yes.

Google tells me this is the address to use for Amazon fresh to Boardwalk: Guest Name, Boardwalk Inn, 2101 North Epcot Resorts Blvd, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830. Can anyone confirm that's correct? Thanks.

I always look at the touring plans website. In their hotels section there are addresses for each.

MDE says 2100 Epcot Resorts Blvd, Lake Buena Vista.

Anybody with a room request configured in your dashboard even for a future trip should get an email from TP saying they're going to send those beginning tomorrow.

Great. Thanks for letting us know @utang.

9:10pm on 4/14/26 by Rjcsmom

Yes, I did. They will be sending my June and November. June I'm hopeful. November, not so much :)

9:10pm on 4/14/26 by cdlla

Is TP not sending after tomorrow anymore? I'm confused about what you're saying? I have not composed mine for August yet

9:42pm on 4/14/26 by Magicalday2011

The room request is going away as of 4/19, per Disney mandate. They're going to send requests that are already configured and in the system, even if they aren't yet at the 30-day mark.

9:50pm on 4/14/26 by utang44

@magical, here's Len's blog on the topic: https://touringplans.com/blog/wdw-room-request-feature-last-day-is-april-19-2026/

7:44am on 4/15/26 by evamarie320

I guess it won't do any good to configure a request for the dvc trip I just booked for next years spring break but I might do it anyway. LOL

7:58am on 4/15/26 by VikeQueen

I got the email yesterday. Will be interesting to see where we end up on June.

8:01am on 4/15/26 by Sorcerers_Apprentice

I'm on the fence about placing a room request now (for dec) or just wait and see how things shake out in mde. I do expect that they're going to expand the current options for high/low floor, etc.

9:36am on 4/15/26 by 56arlene

Ugh I missed this. Wonder if I'm too late to submit one?

8:35pm on 4/15/26 by momtwofour

I'd go ahead and submit one tonight. You might get lucky. My dashboard shows that both of mine for our May/June trip were sent this morning.

8:50pm on 4/15/26 by utang44

My June trip was sent this morning, also.

9:06pm on 4/15/26 by cdlla

Ok. I filled one out. Doesn't hurt to try.

9:47pm on 4/15/26 by momtwofour

Ugh. I'm not prepared for this at all. Thanks for the info and link. Somehow I missed it

10:02pm on 4/15/26 by Magicalday2011

Mine was sent this morning. Yay!!

Thank you Len!!! My December requests (split stay) were sent today. Thank you for giving it one last try :) Over the years I have had a lot of success with TP room requests and I am really going to miss it!

Here's a fun, judgy question. If you finished your solo dinner at Tony's at 8pm, at a table for 2 on the front railing with the Starlight Parade at 8.30, would you lean back in your chair & look at your phone for half an hour till the parade? LOLOL!

Oh dear - so sorry @Jenny! Hope you hit some garlic bread!!

10:06pm on 4/17/26 by njhyndman

Garlic bread was yummy. But very important note here: we passed on our usual Wailulu espresso martini bc identical item at Tony's. Tony's does not have full bar! It's batch drinks! Cannot be made with decaf and no Baileys. So we drank water.

How many of you work on increasing your steps before a trip? What special things do you do to prep for a trip? My trip is in 3 weeks and I'm up to 12-16k steps per day...up from my norm of about 7.5k steps per day.

8:51am by maurine08

Started upping my steps at my 60 day mark, and am rocking it. I did this for a trip in 2024 and it was the BEST trip so decided to try it for 2026. It takes about a 60-70 min walk or I'll take mini 10 min walking breaks as often as I can during the day.

8:54am by maurine08

And how do I have time? I looked at my screen time and realized...I have time :)

8:54am by maurine08

When I started walking (22 years ago), it amazed me how just 30 min, M-F, for 3 months had made such a difference in my energy levels! Took longer to see a dif in my waistline but I was running and playing with my toddlers! Keep it up! It's awesome!

9:01am by Jennyhirsch

Serious training helps! Alas, my distance days are over, looking at spinal injections #5 and #6 for stenosis before my next visit. Enjoy your fitness!
