DCL question please. My check in date is Sat. I need photo of everyone, photo of passport, credit card info per room. Anything else? And anything I can do to pre-fill in or do I have to wait until it opens up?

Will be needing to pack car up to drive down the mountain pretty soon after window opens so I need to be efficient at 6am my time

11:21am on 4/9/26 by hodg

Nothing that you can pre fill in I don't think. Those are things you need. Good luck!

12:12pm on 4/9/26 by njhyndman

You probably already know this but be sure you know the DCL photo guidelines before taking them. I remember a few restrictions having to do with accessories, framing, background, etc.

12:28pm on 4/9/26 by aliceinwonderla

Photos are passport style-took of in-laws a while ago. Will take of DH & me tonight- with very red noses from skiing a sunny week

2:01pm on 4/9/26 by hodg

The photo held me up. Work pic of DH had too much torso in it. And had to redo one pic of passport. Anyway, make sure it's a good head shot and clear pic. I was juggling 5 passports, holding them open one handed and snapping pic on my phone.

2:49pm on 4/9/26 by Jennyhirsch

For non-US passports you also need copies of your ESTA!

2:49pm on 4/9/26 by NTEI

Ooh thank you

3:09pm on 4/9/26 by hodg

And the photos must just be head w a bit of shoulders? I can crop now if you can't crop as you upload them

3:27pm on 4/9/26 by hodg

I have the passport copies for my group I hope I can upload them with any issues

5:01pm on 4/9/26 by WorldTraveler34

"These must be recent, color, forward-facing photos from the shoulders up, featuring a clear, plain background."

8:21pm on 4/9/26 by Jennyhirsch

"Take a simple selfie against a plain wall. Focus: Must be in focus, forward-facing, with eyes visible." And you can resize, crop on yr phone before uploading.

8:22pm on 4/9/26 by Jennyhirsch

The staff uses the pics to identify you disembarking and embarking ship. DS and I had switched keycards so we could access the other room, lol. Totally forgot. Got stopped leaving ship. Swapped lanyards and then exited!

8:24pm on 4/9/26 by Jennyhirsch

Thanks all- think I'm all set. One more query- given this is our 1st DCL so we're already behind everyone, how important is it to check in asap as it opens? If I left it 2-4 hours later will that have a big impact on our boarding time?

1:44am on 4/10/26 by hodg

How are you getting to the departing port? If you're using Disney transfer then you'll get a fairly early Port Arrival Time (PAT). It's a bit stressful for us aliens to do all this paperwork. Hope you enjoyed your skiing holiday. Been great in Scotland.

2:43am on 4/10/26 by tiggertypooh

We're driving ourselves over so don't get the benefit of Disney transfer time. Last day skiing today- been glorious, almost too warm but snow holding up as is DH hip as long as we keep it easy. Long drive home tomoro

7:11am on 4/10/26 by hodg

I don't have answer for you...but earlier the time to check in, the more time there is to enjoy the ship if it is a short cruise. If long cruise, I wouldn't stress as much, probably.

7:20am on 4/10/26 by Jennyhirsch

So I sort of tested the answer as I got our room checked in by 6.25 (in France) while boys packed up car. Had to continue in laws room driving down mountain w v patchy internet so it took another hour. The arrival time was 15min later after that hour.

1:47am by hodg

Thanks for heads up on needing Esta photos- hadnt expected that. And I had to go look up flight no, should've known I'd need that even tho it's that night so not going straight to airport.

1:49am by hodg

Glad you've got it all resolved. Our sailing is not until September so plenty of time yet although have to book transport to the Port.

Dh and I are having a spirited discussion, aka heated battle. I think the entrance to the rooms at SSR are outside. Dh is adamant that they are inside a building. Settle this for us please!

Outside. No inside hallways there like at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

8:49pm on 4/10/26 by cdlla

You are correct.

8:58pm on 4/10/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Breezeway is outside. Sorry Mr. Waffles. :)

After Hours Question- Considering doing an after hours event at HS. We would be able to enter park at 7, can we purchase Lightning Lane for the time between 7 and park close/start of after hours?

6:34pm on 4/10/26 by Beautiesandtheb

Only if you have a separate park ticket.

7:15pm on 4/10/26 by simba77

^^ To clarify this, you should be able to book if you have a park ticket that is good that day, even if you are not using it that day. Worth trying anyhow.

7:32pm on 4/10/26 by utang44

Thanks, that is what I thought

1:42am by Beautiesandtheb

Does anyone know if there is a consistent same day drop time for MMRR?

I saw that post too- hadn't had chance to read up on it further. Implied drops were almost constant at some stages

I've just trusted BG1s predicted drop times rather than keeping a complex list on last trips

What "classic" MK attraction would you happily introduce to the wrecking ball in favor of a state-of-the-art new attraction? I'll start: Adios, Carousel of Progress! You're next, Speedway.

8:27pm on 4/10/26 by X the Owl

Swiss Family Treehouse. Even my teen was like, I remember this being more fun last time!! And Speedway of course, I never took my DD on it!

8:53pm on 4/10/26 by mary32830

Swiss Family Robin Treehouse (since it's not accessible for physical disabilities) and the Speedway too.

10:57pm on 4/10/26 by danielle.817

Hot take, but Space Mountain. Maybe not a wrecking ball, but it's so badly in need of a refurb!

11:59pm on 4/10/26 by njhyndman

Fun question from Threads this morning: You're gifted lifetime passes to WDW, but you can only visit three parks with the passes. Which one are you cutting?

9:41am on 4/10/26 by utang44

collapse thread

That's very hard. For me Epcot or HS ... I keep flipping but probably HS

9:49am on 4/10/26 by VikeQueen

Difficult to choose but most likely HS

9:50am on 4/10/26 by Richrosethumper

AK for me. Hard choice but we do have a good zoo close by in NC

9:51am on 4/10/26 by MstrGoofy

HS, no question. Can't even remember the last time I went there. And ToT is one of my favorite rides.

9:57am on 4/10/26 by SugarGliderNH

If I can just pay for those days separately, AK since 1-day tickets there are cheaper lol. Otherwise, hmmm, probably still AK

10:06am on 4/10/26 by HalfBludPrincess

Sophie choice-ing a park is just cruel.

10:07am on 4/10/26 by JackOfAll

My knee jerk reaction is AK, but losing Everest, FoP AND Satu'li is terrible.

10:30am on 4/10/26 by JJT (staff)

Same answer as JJT! But add FotLK.

10:37am on 4/10/26 by TumbleMonkeys

We have zero problem ditching AK.

10:40am on 4/10/26 by Jennyhirsch

Epcot

11:59am on 4/10/26 by burfe1501

My knee jerk reaction was MK because so many of the rides are at DL. But lose SDMT, Tron and Peoplemover? Then I thought HS, but to lose Slinky and some great shows? I can't do it!

12:15pm on 4/10/26 by njhyndman

None! I have no problem paying OOP for admission to the one park I don't include, which would be HS.

12:18pm on 4/10/26 by pdmccartin

12:30pm on 4/10/26 by mnfc

For me it would be AK or HS, and I could just pay for a ticket when I wanted to visit that park. A conference ticket, of course.

12:31pm on 4/10/26 by utang44

HS for me too, but I'd happily pay OOP to visit there if I could visit the other 3 parks for free for life!

12:39pm on 4/10/26 by act72

EP. I really want to like WS, but I just can't.

1:07pm on 4/10/26 by trishr.

I would read this question as you are banned from the 4th park, otherwise the choice is much easier since you lose nothing.

1:15pm on 4/10/26 by JJT (staff)

This is a difficult question....I guess EPCOT ?

1:30pm on 4/10/26 by DeeMac

AK hands down! APs who haven't stepped foot in that park since 2019. Kinds do miss FoP.

1:45pm on 4/10/26 by MarioMom

EP. I'd miss GotG but no way I'd give up AK my fav park, MK for the ambience, or HS for the rides there and the ones upcoming :)

1:54pm on 4/10/26 by cdlla

AK. We haven't even visited the last couple of trips.

1:56pm on 4/10/26 by WendyMarie

We don't bother with AK unless we have park hopper. It's not worth wasting a one day ticket. HS would be my second choice.

3:39pm on 4/10/26 by skemp

Woof. If I have to pick. HS because I could see the TOT from afar and not feel jealous. I couldn't see the other icons and know I couldn't go.

4:23pm on 4/10/26 by Lindsey740

Definitely HS . We always spend the least time there!

5:23pm on 4/10/26 by goofygrandpa

HS now that they don't have Citizens of Hollywood.

5:54pm on 4/10/26 by evamarie320

Ak hands down. Its an expensive zoo. Got plenty of those. Hs is getting new things of interest and ak is getting ij and encanto? Pass.

7:52pm on 4/10/26 by melodicwords

AK no question.

I would gladly scrap AK even without free passes. I mean, Itsazu!

8:07pm on 4/10/26 by X the Owl
