Anyone have any special tips for any of the WDW shows? I saw one about avoiding the first several rows at Fantasmic! if you don't want to get wet and another about shooting for audience-left (stage right) for IJESS. Any other tips (all parks)?

@Jenny how early before FW do you need to get there to be at this spot?

On Sat Mar 7, parade was at 8 and FW at 9. At 7:05pm, there was still plenty room at Mickey statue area (it's a big sidewalk area and everyone was on curb while we were back at garden fence. Parade floats are 2 stories tall, don' need curb for good view).

If you just want FW, you cpuld probably get the Chip n Dale statue area an hour before FW. You will not get in hub after parade, before FW. Everyone from Main Street follows the last float to hub, packing the street and all space in blink eye.

Couple of things, not DR: Some of you may remember that my DS10 has a rare congenital heart defect. We learned last summer that this summer will be time for him to have his valve repaired. Only three surgeons in the country have experience with the...

Best wishes for a perfect repair and a boring, uneventful trip with no surprises (the optimal kind for anything involving hospitals).

That's a lot but sounds like you have a great prognosis for you and your son. Sending prayers, good vibes and warm wishes to you and your loved ones.

Thoughts on pros and cons / differences between staying at fort wilderness lodge vs fort wilderness cabins?
10:34am by
Specifically the Boulder ridge villas at wilderness lodge

BR studio or 1 bedroom?

They are two different resorts just so you are aware unless you are talking about the Copper Creek cabins.

Biggest con for me is Cabins are spread out and need internal bus/golf cart/own vehicle. Biggest pro is the size unless you're looking at a 1-2 bedroom at WL.

As suspected, MNSSHP dates during our trip are Friday (Day 3) or Tuesday (Day 7). I'd much rather do it earlier in the trip but DSis and BIL are planning on joining us for the second half of the trip and they want to go too. Kids will be fine, right? Lol

The nice thing about going to the party later in the trip is that it's easier to focus and prioritize the party elements, since you can attack the pure MK elements earlier in the trip.

The party is a full day all by itself to do just party things - don't plan anything else earlier that day! Only a few rides have overlays, so do most MK rides before party, good advice.

For anyone who has done it recently, what are the current opinions on the pre vs post dessert party? I'm hoping to grab it for July 4 (or 3 as backup) when our window opens.

Anyone else waiting on MNSSHP date announcement? Convinced my mom to go down for her birthday (76th) and it looks like there will likely be a party while we're there. I was surprised she wants to go! Need that ticket, then decide 2 or 3 day tix.

Our dates are planned around something else but I really want HP our 2nd night!

Now deciding whether we want to go once or twice! We weren't able to see the parade last time, and only got to about half the characters....

We've been using the Wayb Pico portable carseat because it was easy to carry on a plane and worked well in the car but now DD is 3 inches too big for it. I'm not sure what to buy. She is 48 inches tall and weighs 42 lbs. Anyone have recommendations? Bonus

points if it is easy to fly with.

SWA experts - I recall someone had found a hack for making expiring flight credits non-expiring. I had to cancel a flight today and the credits expire in 4 months - so annoying. TIA!
9:05pm on 4/26/26 by
Yes the flight had to be a date before the credits expiration. But it could be any random flight that cost just a little more than the credits since I was canceling it immediately.

Oh, wow. I did not know this. Great news.

Staying off property for the first time(at westgate villas).We have 1 day for each park 1/2 day at AK on arrival day. That being said. I haven't been to WDW in August in 20 years! Tips for how to navigate heat when you can't easily leave and swim.
10:41am by
For long park days at say Mk would it be worth it to monorail to resort and uber to westgate. Or just monorail hop and eat? We def want to close down MK for fireworks and night time parade. Where can you rest this cool on property that's not a ride
