Can I have a dinner rez inside Epcot on a day I don't have a park pass? It is our "off" day and I didn't realize it when I booked it.

If you are asking if they will let you in for it, no, they will not.

5:20pm on 2/16/26 by Beautiesandtheb

Nope need a ticket to enter the park

5:36pm on 2/16/26 by Totsypooh

In order to dine in the park, you must have a ticket to enter the park

5:36pm on 2/16/26 by JenniferB1975

They will also charge you for a dining reservation that you don't cancel at least 2 hours prior.

10:33pm on 2/16/26 by Ali Ababwa

How do I add a dining reservation for a resort or Disney Springs? For example, 2/24 is our Epcot day, but we have 4 pm reservations at Hoop Dee Doo. Also, on our arrival day (no parks) we have 8pm reservations at T-Rex in Disney Springs.

You may also want advice on travel time so if you share which part you will be going to and which restaurant there are plenty you can help

1:36pm on 2/16/26 by youcanfly

@Youcan, I read that "you may also want advice on TIME TRAVEL..." and I was like oooh, what insights does she have - yes please! LOL!

3:25pm on 2/16/26 by popupcamper

I'm all ears about time travel! I've got QUESTIONS before Outlander returns March 6!

10:29pm on 2/16/26 by Ali Ababwa

Hi liners!! Any suggestion of how early I should arrive for the post fireworks dessert party? Thanks

Agree @Totsy - SO expensive, but as a vertically challenged human under 5 ft tall it makes all the difference!

5:56pm on 2/16/26 by njhyndman

Agreed! When I'm sitting with plenty of elbow room in the garden area watching the castle projections, it's worth every cent! And after 2 or 3 POG mimosas....

10:23pm on 2/16/26 by Ali Ababwa

I've got preparty reserved 3 weeks from tonight!

10:25pm on 2/16/26 by Ali Ababwa

Kdr: layover at ohare or Fort Lauderdale in may about 5 hours each. Which is the lesser of evils. Never been to either airport.

8:47pm on 2/16/26 by melodicwords

Two questions - is either one more on the way, and what time of year? I fly through Ohare frequently but it makes me nervous in the winter. Otherwise no problems.

10:13pm on 2/16/26 by moondance07

Long time, no chat, and good news to share. We're taking the kids to Uni this week but staying at BLT tonight on points. And we got upgraded to a theme park view 3B grand villa!!! This makes me want more points!!!

Currently having a glass of wine on the balcony while watching the sunset with beautiful views of SM, the Castle, GF, and Poly. This view and this room are just WOW!

6:13pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

Are you suuuure you want to go to Uni this week?

6:24pm on 2/16/26 by MOJoe

Holy moly! What an upgrade!! Enjoy every minute :)

6:27pm on 2/16/26 by cdlla

Oh wow, that sounds incredible! Enjoy!!

6:28pm on 2/16/26 by mnfc

@MOJoe-if it were up to me, we'd definitely be at WDW this week, but the kids have been begging to go to Epic. DH will drive home with the younger 2 on Friday, but DS14 has soccer in Orlando this weekend so we'll do EP on Friday-a little bit of Dis for me

6:50pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

Wow! Enjoy your time there!!

6:58pm on 2/16/26 by T07

Kids. Pfft.

7:39pm on 2/16/26 by MOJoe

We expected lores a bit bc kids were restless after the car ride. Ordered SH71 mobile order and ate in the room (delish). DH is now suggesting that we may need more points. Maybe the upgrade did its job.

8:14pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

Anyone know if we can stream the HEA music from the balcony (and if so, how)?

8:16pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

I don't see any speakers on either balcony. Maybe we play it from the TV?

8:18pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

I called and they said we will be able to hear it out on the balcony (I guess we're close enough without separate speakers) and they gave me the channels to hear from the TV too (72 or 105).

8:25pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

I tried to make the free reservation for TotWL and they were fully booked. Watching from our upgraded room is sooo much better. I'm a lucky girl!

8:26pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

Fabulous!!!

8:26pm on 2/16/26 by KLuck

This is just awesome! I'd say Disney knows how to make us want more points for sure! lol I've looked at the room category before and it looks simply amazing. Enjoy every second.

9:04pm on 2/16/26 by youcanfly

Wow. Awesome

9:05pm on 2/16/26 by snelvis

How many nights are you at BLT? Is this a 1 night upgrade?

Just a one night upgrade, but I'll take it!

9:48pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

We all watched HEA. Couldn't hear the music very well from the balcony, but then we put the tv on and some watched from inside and some from the balconies.

9:50pm on 2/16/26 by kfkennedy1

Going to bed now with a beautiful view of SM and Tron. Definitely feeling blessed. What unexpected and amazing pixie dust.

Anyone who digs Sam's Club, there's a possible stack out there for a new membership: Sam's has a deal going right now for $50 membership that comes with a $30 Sam's credit to spend. Amex has a Sam's offer on some of their cards: spend $30 on new...

9:39pm on 2/16/26 by JJT (staff)

..membership, get a $15 credit. (As usual, you need to find that offer on your card and add it there before trying to use it!) So: Net $5 Sam's club membership.

Who wants to hear a story of frantic, last minute rushing insanity? Our flight was supposed to depart 11:30. Delayed till 2PM.

1:28pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

collapse thread

Checked app every 15 minutes. Nothing changed. Last time I checked before leaving home was 11:30. Screenshot the 2pm departure.

1:29pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

Dropped off DDs car at her college lot. Other DD driving us down Semoran Blvd to MCO. At 12:12, I got a text that my flight departed at 12:08. Hah. Quickly followed by text that it would depart at 1. Our arrival at MCO was to be 12:45. Omg.

1:31pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

DD FLEW down Semoran. Dropped us and went to cell phone lot to stay nearby. We RAN to TSA Precheck. It was empty! Yay! TSA agent told me my bday was the wrong year and I didn't have precheck. What????

1:32pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

RAN to ticket counter. Luckily priority status gave me a front of line bc there were 50 people in line easy. Sweet agent (who has my exact se bday) fixed everything. RAN back to TSA precheck. Quickly thru.

1:33pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

App did not ever say we were boarding. But from monorail, you could see there was no plane at gate. We slowly walked to Gate 128 (which said "Atlanta" and NOT our hometown of Baltimore). Resigned ourselves to a midnight flight.

1:34pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

Edge of my seating with this story lol

1:35pm on 2/16/26 by HalfBludPrincess

But, wonder of wonders! They gave up fixing our original plane and rolled a new one out of the hangar! It hasn't boarded yet! We are gonna make it! I think I will sleep well on the flight home.

1:35pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

I was notified of a two hour delay last year. Luckily I received that notification as we entered the garage to drop off our rental. The plane ended up leaving 5 minutes early. I will always ignore delay texts from now on. I am so glad you made it!

1:39pm on 2/16/26 by PrincipalTinker

That's the kind of chaos that drives DH over the cliff. lol You should have said "We're not gonna make it" several times like Dino (rip)

1:41pm on 2/16/26 by youcanfly

Oh my goodness. That made me anxious Just reading it. Fingers crossed for smooth sailing from this point on. They should give you free drinks for all that nonsense

2:08pm on 2/16/26 by lizshiv

Was is Southwest? I never trust a SW delay message...been burned too many times when they change it back right before the plane's scheduled to leave. *face palm* Glad you made it!

2:16pm on 2/16/26 by yetisafari

Yes, it was Southwest! And I knew they roll back those delays in an instant but still dawdled. Lol. Totally our bad. Funny thing is that while we were racing down Semoran Blvd, passengers in the terminal changed gates 4 times! Four!

2:19pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

Still...how on earth did my birthday year change in their system? Haven't touched my profile in 30 or 40 years, since I first got a Rapid Rewards account. Everything autopopulates when I log in and book a flight. So odd.

2:20pm on 2/16/26 by Jennyhirsch

What a hot mess! Glad you made your flight :)

2:41pm on 2/16/26 by cdlla

You made it! I knew you would! (high five @youcan.)

2:45pm on 2/16/26 by popupcamper

I have found that the SW app either has zero info or totally wrong info much of the time when delays/changes happen. Meanwhile, TripIt & FlightAware apps usually tell me about changes within minutes. It is crazy, really.

2:48pm on 2/16/26 by JJT (staff)

@jenny that is nuts. I hate that SW does that and, to @JJT's point, often doesn't have the correct info. It's so stressful. Glad you made it and were able to get the birth year stuff straightened out so quickly.

4:12pm on 2/16/26 by yetisafari

How crazy! And absolutely messed up that your birthday changed!

That is how one of our Frontier flight out of Phoenix went last summer. And when SW had that spring break debacle several Years ago and I got stuck in FL for 2 extra days we kept getting notifications like that and were an hr away! Glad you made it on!

6:09pm on 2/16/26 by koolaid

R u back in MD with a new pet, size XL?

9:20pm on 2/16/26 by hol74976

Holy moly that sounds stressful. Glad you made it.

All knowing liners: Does Geo 82 have tea?

11:41am on 2/15/26 by travelingminnie

We did the fireworks dinner there a couple of nights ago and asked for iced tea. No dice. Said they have Coke products and lemonade.

1:56pm on 2/15/26 by HairyBaby

Thank you! I also asked about coffee and they have cold brew for making drinks.

9:30pm on 2/16/26 by travelingminnie

Hi everyone. Can you tell me which plan you like better for solo travel? Disney+ 3 parks ticket for HS, AK, and EP plus MK after Hours OR 3 day hopper passes? Trying to fit MK into my schedule. TIA.

7:37pm on 2/16/26 by PeaceBeTheJourney

I like the hopper, all things being equal, just because then if the weather isn't cooperating on a particular day or evening, you don't compromise an entire park. You can rearrange.

7:42pm on 2/16/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Agree with @tumble. It's nice to know you can maximize that flexibility.

7:55pm on 2/16/26 by yetisafari

Thanks!
