Hey gang, WWYP: we're brining some active adult non-Disney friends to WDW first week of December to share Xmas at WDW with them. Lodging options are a) 2BR @ OKW ('renting' a friends points) and b) 2 separate Pop rooms. Prices are about the same.

For non - Disney people I would probably pick OKW. It's a much nicer room. But it's very tough. Will you stay in parks or leave if they need a break?

9:48pm on 3/10/26 by VikeQueen

Are they turkeys?

9:51pm on 3/10/26 by trishr.

I'd pick a 2 bedroom at OKW all day long. You still have your own space but have shared space too. It's bigger than my house! Do it.

It has been a long time since planning a trip. We are able to get discounted tickets through my husband's union. Is it really worth it to take the dining plan (we would eat at the same restaurants)? We would save $400 by getting the tickets separately.

Okay, we will check about the fees. It is a school bus drivers union. Thanks!

7:50pm on 3/10/26 by bing.randy31@gmail.com

Also, if you have children under 10, WDW is offering them a free dining plan, so consider that in your calculations if it applies.

8:00pm on 3/10/26 by hookiegood

I cannot make a dining plan work in my favor.

With the SW credit card, at 48 hours when I go to my flight will there be a "pick seat" button? What do I need to be looking for in the app??

7:57pm on 3/9/26 by JenniferB1975

I picked my seat when I booked my flight. You should see options when you click through the link.

8:31pm on 3/9/26 by Razsav

You will see the option to change your seats, push the button and pick your new seat if available. Did it a couple of weeks ago, was fairly straight forward.

8:32pm on 3/9/26 by Beautiesandtheb

Then keep looking at them if you don't get what you like (we had very last row) because things change right up until flight day and seats may become available that are further up the plane

9:04pm on 3/9/26 by Gusgus5

It seems SE only displays a few options at 48 hours and not all the true open seats

9:05pm on 3/9/26 by Gusgus5

I have the $229 card. I get free seats with 48 hour upgrade to front at 48 hours. Problem is the 48 hour seat swapping happens at exactly 48 hours. So a layover has 2 48 hour change times. 3 flights would have 3 48 hour times.

9:42pm on 3/9/26 by JackOfAll

so say you fly SFO to DEN to MCO. You can change the SFO flight at 48 hour mark just like checkin. The DEN to MCO is at its 48 hour flight time to change seats. so 2 stops would have 3 48 hour change times.

9:46pm on 3/9/26 by JackOfAll

Also, as people change seats, seats will open at the back and fill up front, from what I have seen. So keep checking as anything is possible.

9:50pm on 3/9/26 by JackOfAll

I have a nonstop flight. Do I really need to get up at 6AM tomorrow or can I look when I get up at 7? 3 adult women so if we aren't together that's ok.

10:05pm on 3/9/26 by JenniferB1975

If you don't need to sit together and don't mind middle seats in the back, they will assign you seats and you can sleep in.

10:10pm on 3/9/26 by evamarie320

Quick add-we had 2 conf #s due to companion pass. We upgraded 1, but repeatedly got an error on the 2nd (logged out/in, tried multiple browsers, etc). Called cust svc and they made the upgrade for us w/o any issue (or explanation). Don't be afraid to call

10:18pm on 3/9/26 by carrl

Update-chose only 3 seats together this morning a little after 6. Very back row. Just checked to see if anything better opened up. SW automatically has moved us up to row 16 ABC. Extra legroom seat. Hmmmm....will it stick? Flight check in is tomorrow.

2:42pm on 3/10/26 by JenniferB1975

Keep us posted. That's interesting that they moved you after you chose seats.

5:37pm on 3/10/26 by evamarie320

You should be good to go but those may be exit rows. Just say yes.

Row 16 must be exit rows. Assume you are all over age 14? I'd love that!

7:42pm on 3/10/26 by Jennyhirsch

Yes. Appears to be an exit row. We are all 50....so well over the 14 year old cut off...lol

8:43pm on 3/10/26 by JenniferB1975

DTW and myself cannot sit in "Exit Rows". We do old people preboard. DTW gets a new hip 7 weeks before our next trip.

10:42pm on 3/10/26 by JackOfAll

We are die hard stay on property people but need to consider off site so we can bring DD 21 and DD 23 significant others. Recommendations? Any particular AirBNB maybe?

8:43pm on 3/10/26 by tinkerbellrules

I liked staying in Emerald Island resort. Condos and houses of various sizes.

9:04pm on 3/10/26 by TumbleMonkeys

VRBO is my go to in Windsor Hills. Do not forget your campsite. You can have it all.

10:38pm on 3/10/26 by JackOfAll

Do the cast members now if kids have shoe lifts? https://www.facebook.com/reel/3582141538589404

9:10pm on 3/10/26 by Elaine5715

DD was always small. I put her in 3" flip-flops, and she never failed to get on a ride. They do not check for lifts. CM's will not ask to remove your shoes to measure you or check for inserts. You get to pick your shoes. They only check for height.

10:34pm on 3/10/26 by JackOfAll

Mrs Magic is running a pasta-palooza and bingo party for middle school kids. She's looking for prize ideas ($20-$30 cost). Last time she got Stanley cups and restaurant gift cards. Any good suggestions of what a middle school kid would be excited to win?

9:59pm on 3/10/26 by Phil H. Magic

Fortnite V-bucks, if that's still a thing (it looks like it is)! Like a gift card you spend in a video game.

10:13pm on 3/10/26 by TumbleMonkeys

movie tickets,

It's 2am and we leave for our 11 week adventure tomorrow ... we still don't know how we're getting home but I just found my Disney crocs hiding in the back of the wardrobe so everything is fine :-o everyone just keep calm I've got this.... Oh and 33 to...

12:26pm on 3/10/26 by TashToo

@Tash, Croc on!

10:02pm on 3/10/26 by trishr.

So how's EE been at HS recently? My LLMP day is Friday and plan A is SDD, TSM, & ToT. But SDD is not looking good on thrill data. So plan B is MMRR instead and line up for SDD 1st thing at EE. Whadya think?

At this time last year I rode SDD at the very start of EE (I was 6th back from the tap styles), pivoted to ToT bc TSM wasn't running yet, and then got onTSM at 8:58 (before the regular crowds were released)

8:36pm on 3/10/26 by KLuck

The year before, same week, we EE rooe dropped SDD, scooted to Rise bc TSM was still down, then rode ASS and got into TSM *right before* the regular crowds were released

8:38pm on 3/10/26 by KLuck

We did something similar June '23 trip. But just stayed in Toy Story since TSM came online quickly. Glad that strategy is still working. Short trip this time, so will have LLMP for the first time. Been studying like crazy :)

9:59pm on 3/10/26 by urbyq

"What's cookin'?" I'm trying my hand at making shrimp fried rice tonight, dessert will be the last of the chocolate chip cookies. What are you noshing on tonight?

Cheese ravioli, garlic bread, and peas. A few Cadbury mini eggs for dessert.

8:43pm on 3/10/26 by JoeyPotter98

Top sirloin, bake potatoes, homemade bread, broccolini and salads

9:01pm on 3/10/26 by jules_fletch

Had a salad and cheesy garlic bread at Noodles & Co. Snickers Custard for dessert.

Is TSA Precheck operational at MCO and if it is, how are the wait times currently?

8:34pm on 3/9/26 by missWishes

collapse thread

According to their app, precheck is open with a 0-2 minute wait at all gates.

8:38pm on 3/9/26 by PrincipalTinker

I can't believe I didn't know about the app sooner! Thanks so much @PT! I'll check it out.

10:07pm on 3/9/26 by missWishes

Pointing out the app isn't always accurate. In Houston it's been saying 15-30 minutes when it's been 3-4 hours. I have t heard of MCO being that bad yet though but wanted to mention it.

8:30am on 3/10/26 by popupcamper

Yes, @popup. Was going to mention this also. I had family flying out of Hobby on Sunday and it was a 3+ hour line while the app said 15 mins. How can I ever trust it now?

6:04pm on 3/10/26 by rickelwoman

Precheck at MCO has been fine so far.

6:12pm on 3/10/26 by Jennyhirsch

I think I checked the Houston airport and that said it was an "estimate". Some airports have different systems?

6:41pm on 3/10/26 by PrincipalTinker

Interesting. When I open the app now it says it is not being actively managed and was last updated on February 17th. So at least for now I would not depend on it.

6:48pm on 3/10/26 by rickelwoman

I think the airport websites are often a more accurate source for this info than TSA itself. Many of them update as the wait time listed at the airport does.

6:50pm on 3/10/26 by utang44

And like PT mentioned, gotta watch for that "estimate" wording.

6:51pm on 3/10/26 by utang44

According to an article I just found, the TSA app is not being monitored during the shutdown.

6:52pm on 3/10/26 by utang44

The wait times seem to be accurate on the app. Not being monitored isn't the same as not being updated. That is done via computer, not someone calling around to every airport

7:06pm on 3/10/26 by Elaine5715

I was not looking at the TSA app, I have been looking at individual airport websites and apps. Some say "estimate", some say "last updated ". MCO website has a time it was updated. I am in MA and I can't find any logan generated times.

Oh gotcha. I thought we were talking about the TSA app. All I know is it was very very wrong on Sunday for Hobby. And that's the extent of my knowledge! :)

7:54pm on 3/10/26 by rickelwoman

Right, I took monitored as meaning someone takes a look for weird outliers every now and then. So no one currently doing that spot check.

8:04pm on 3/10/26 by utang44

The TSA app has a chat feature
