Welp, another one bites the dust. We now have 6 different wine glasses that no longer match. Disney merch continues to be a disappointment. Many of these were 'lifetime' souvenirs (ie, anniversary or retirement), that broke despite tremendous care... :-(

Ah, yes we also have gotten Christmas ornaments when we visit that time of year. And -those- haven't broken, so yay!

10:05pm on 8/6/26 by PaulAndCarrie

Yep, Christmas ornaments & Larry Dalton resort paintings. Those are my must-have souvenirs. So far so good.

10:58pm on 8/6/26 by DestinyCalled

Not Disney, but I bought a coffee mug on my honeymoon (Homestead resort in Va) that broke a few years in. Luckily the marriage is still going strong (:

I need to put the power of Liners to work. My SIL is in travel hell - the rains today here in Orlando mean her 10 AM flight from St Louis is on the ground in JAX and waiting. Don't know that we will be able to RD Epcot tomorrow.

Jenny: she is part of our trip. She was supposed to land at 1:15 today. It is 9pm and they are still stuck on the ground in Jacksonville. We were planning to RD Epcot tomorrow but even if she gets here, her waking up at 6 AM to do that isn't in the cards.

9:00pm on 8/6/26 by allanadale

Although GotG really doesn't have any predictable drops, you might check at 8:47.

9:04pm on 8/6/26 by PrincipalTinker

I get it. I thought maybe you had to drive to MCO in the middle of yr day for transport too! Hope she is with you now and your LLs work!

121 days. Good morning and TGIF Liner friends !

LL nightmare! My siblings and their adult kids (7 people) are checking in onsite one day after my family of 5. We arrive 1/1, and our first park day is 1/2 - their arrival day. Any advice as I plan to book LLs for all 12? We have 4 day hoppers.

11:38pm on 8/6/26 by Operaml

Does everyone want to ride all the same rides? I'd book my family first and then the next day try to get them the same rides as close as possible, and then modify when possible to nudge them closer together. I'd be ok with doing some rides separately tho.

Good evening everyone. Planning a trip for March. What is the best week to go for lower crowd levels?

12:24am by to infinity

I would guess the first week.

5:21am by PrincipalTinker

I'm sorry, I know this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it anywhere else. What are the blockout times before and after ADRs that you cannot make LLs? TIA

9:13pm on 8/6/26 by jeffg4

@jeff, I was actually able to overlap on my last trip in April.

10:27pm on 8/6/26 by popupcamper

If you use Bg1 you can overlap

11:15pm on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

It has been 35 before and 65 after. It has not applied to LLSP.

Here we come, Mickey. Wheels up tomorrow morning! We booked a last minute (2.5 weeks ago) trip to get maximum use of our APs. I'll post updates throughout the trip for anyone who wants to follow along. We are doing anti-commando Disney this trip.

8:30pm on 7/30/26 by goofygardiner

Fun! My idea of a last minute trip is within 3 months lol I'd love to do a DVC stay with 2.5 weeks notice!

9:18pm on 7/30/26 by KLuck

Have a great time! It'll be hot and wet (but you knew that)!

9:32pm on 7/30/26 by allanadale

Have fun! Sounds like the crowd levels warrant the trip! Looking forward to following along

This will by our first time at OKW. I I'M HOPING WE LOVE IT BECAUSE THE ROOMS ARE BIGGER AND THE POINTS ARE LESS.

9:40am on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

Oops...caps lock.

9:41am on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

I wondered why you were yelling that part!

9:57am on 7/31/26 by utang44

OKW is quite a way from anywhere- have to shout to be heard

10:06am on 7/31/26 by hodg

Actually looks pretty nice there

10:07am on 7/31/26 by hodg

We loved OKW when we stayed there last month. So much so that we are staying there again for Xmas. Yes...the rooms are huge.

10:45am on 7/31/26 by Phil H. Magic

Mears Connect...15 minute wait, 3 minutes at terminal C...off and running. 3 resorts on this run; SS, OKW, POFQ...13 people in total (including the 4 of us). We got upgraded on the flight, and little wait for Mears...great start so far!

11:05am on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

We love OKW! It's such a relaxing resort and the 2 bedroom is bigger than my house! ;)

11:25am on 7/31/26 by popupcamper

Enjoy that southernmost buttermilk chicken at Olivia's :)

11:27am on 7/31/26 by cdlla

Hey @goofy! Also on the DCL resort dropoff bus, AKL to ASM, now headed to Coronado and Poly. Started getting room texts at 11:15.

11:28am on 7/31/26 by Ali Ababwa

Have a magical time @goofy!

11:59am on 7/31/26 by TacMed

OK, so it's almost midnight on arrival day. We've been up since 3:00 AM to make the flight here. We took our time and got settled in to our room; unpacking our Water Butlers order and our personal belongings.

11:56pm on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

Lunch at the quick service here at the resort, and the girls had a nap while DW and I went to Disney Springs for free DVC ice cream. Some quick snacks in the DVC lounge and we headed back to the resort. A short bus ride to Epcot for LTWL and Soarin.

11:57pm on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

We were not fans of the new show, although it was nice to see Patrick still involved. Some supper at connections and then monorail back to MK. We toured around on the people more,, last-minute spot for HEA, bussed back home.

11:59pm on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

We missed the second bathroom from BLT, but we are figuring out a new routine for this week. Everyone has talked in, and time to sleep. We will see what tomorrow brings.

11:59pm on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

What a great first day!

2:26am on 8/1/26 by AreWeThereYeti

Great start for a last minute trip! I'm excited to hear more about your experience with OKW. We have our 1st stay in September.

I HOPE YOU LOVE OKW TOO!!! Have a great trip!!!

9:19am on 8/1/26 by lizshiv

DD 19 got a late start, but we're having fun at AK. We checked off some boxes on our family bingo, and now we're heading to Jambo to do some shopping.

12:46pm on 8/1/26 by goofygardiner

Have fun.

12:49pm on 8/1/26 by mickeyforlife

Bus roulette has us heading to Hollywood Studios next. From there, I think we will skyline to Riviera for some food.

1:46pm on 8/1/26 by goofygardiner

Have a magical day!!!

1:53pm on 8/1/26 by jbreen25

free DVC ice cream, and then Beef Bolognese at Primo Piatto... yummy.

5:13pm on 8/1/26 by goofygardiner

Someday I will try that beef bolognese!

5:19pm on 8/1/26 by Jennyhirsch

I am wildly jealous of the Primo Piatto meal.

5:26pm on 8/1/26 by utang44

The skies opened up while at Riviera, so we hissed to MK. we shopped for a bit, then hissed back to the resort. The girls have homemade thank you a for cast members, and are enjoying handing them out. A quick snack and off to the pool.

8:14pm on 8/1/26 by goofygardiner

Everyone's tired. So much for Fantasmic. AK rope drop tomorrow? We will see. Good night Liner Nation.

10:14pm on 8/1/26 by goofygardiner

Well done pivot! Better to have an early bedtime and have a great following day.

10:31pm on 8/1/26 by Ali Ababwa

We are up and at it for Animal Kingdom rope drop. The bus should be here in five minutes. Sivako!!

6:34am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

7:21am on 8/2/26 by TacMed

Have a great day!

7:28am on 8/2/26 by hodg

Have a BLAST!

7:29am on 8/2/26 by DestinyCalled

I look for you in the FOP line today, @hodg. It wasn't the same without you.

9:19am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

We got the longest delay I've ever had in the FOP matching chamber. At one point, they had our scans created with bubbles.

9:19am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

That's happened to us before! I wonder if they decide to move a different chamber in front? I always get matched with a guy which I don't care about, but my younger DS always gets matched with a girl, and his older bro drives him nuts about it -tradition.

9:41am on 8/2/26 by Operaml

Lighter is still up at Everest. The weight was 25 minutes, and they told us a single rider might be longer. We took a chance, and got to ride together in the last row with a four minute wait. When we got off, they had closed the single rider line.

9:56am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

Wow... I really have to reread my messages before posting. That last post should have said the single rider line was still up, and the wait was posted as 25 minutes for standby

10:30am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

I understood it! It was fun, trying to decipher what you voice texted!

10:39am on 8/2/26 by Jennyhirsch

My coworkers consistently get a kick out of what shows up when I voice text.

11:11am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

After Magic Kingdom for snacks at the DVC lounge, followed by the 3 o'clock parade in frontier land. Go back to Saratoga Springs for free DVC ice cream.

3:18pm on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

We walked over to Disney Springs to look around, then back to Saratoga Springs for supper at artists palette. We have now claimed seats at Fantasmic. I know it's early, but everything else we want to do has a big wait time.

8:20pm on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

At Fantasmic, I recognized a CM who was kind back in May. I stopped to tell her how much I appreciated it and Inthiught she was going to cry. She came to find me near the end of the show and gifted me a Fantasmic t-shirt.

10:00pm on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

I have been amazed how appreciative the CMs are when treated with kindness. We ALWAYS treat them well, but they seem exceptionally appreciative, almost surprised, this trip.

10:02pm on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

Cast members in tomorrowland are saying space will not be opening this morning.

8:15am on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

@goofy, I just read there was apparently a big brawl in the FOP queue yesterday. Wonder if that's the same time/why you were so delayed in getting to the actual ride!

8:50am on 8/3/26 by missWishes

TRON done, now for Buzz.

9:07am on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Friar's Nook for breakfast. We got food and headed over to Pinocchio Village house to eat it. Ross is not yet open, but the doors are unlocked, so we have the entire place to ourselves.

10:05am on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Not Ross, village house. Where did that come from?

10:10am on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

We are heading to MK today as well - just moving a lot slower than you !

10:28am on 8/3/26 by tl5

Small world done... Time for us to head out.

10:34am on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

We took Shelton for a brief rain, and have now made it to the bus. It looks like more rain coming in. Poncho up and soldier on, @tl5

11:05am on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Did Shelton like his brief rain?

1:17pm on 8/3/26 by Jennyhirsch

Poor Shelton. Only got out for a brief time.

1:56pm on 8/3/26 by cdlla

4:07pm on 8/3/26 by itsMollyMouse

My family always mocks me, and now you are providing them with wonderful opportunities to do so again.

4:08pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

I LOVE the idea of an anti-commando trip. On day one of a commando trip having woken up at 5:10am in Atlanta, and I am EXHAUSTED!

4:13pm on 8/3/26 by jolavi

Time for more free ice cream. Perfect timing for a bus to DHS. Our bus arrived seconds after the SS bus, and right across the walkway from our bus. Now back to SS. We could not have had better timing if we had paid for it.

4:22pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Thousands of dollars annual dues, but some free ice cream seems to make it all worthwhile.

4:23pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

So true @goofy! Sounds like a great trip!

4:37pm on 8/3/26 by act72

I'm sure many of my fellow liners are shaking their heads at our style of vacation, but after so many visits, it's no longer about the rides.

4:45pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

IMO the way to do it right is having fun the whole time, which sounds exactly like you're doing it! Not that our opinion matters on YOUR vacation!

4:59pm on 8/3/26 by Ali Ababwa

So, today they had chocolate covered Keylime pie as an option. I think I will be forgoing my afternoon in the park again tomorrow to come back here for more of this!

5:00pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Key lime pancakes at Steakhouse 71 a couple days ago were better than they sounded!

5:02pm on 8/3/26 by Ali Ababwa

EMH tonight from 9 till 11. What is the best time to get in line for GOTG? I know that anyone not staying for EMH will get in line at 8:55 PM. Those people should be gone by 10:00 PM, I would think. Am I best to go then, or wait until almost 11?

5:11pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

@goofy im there tonight too. Getting in for about 7.30 SR Remy slowly heading over to GOTG grabbing some snacks as we go. Then I've LL for GOTG. Going to then SR TT and head back over to GOTG. Aiming for it to be about 10 by then.

5:30pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

Sounds like another EEH liner meet in line?

5:35pm on 8/3/26 by hodg

I think 10 will be a good time to head for and then see how long it takes.

5:36pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

@goofy I have extra large gold sequin ears tonight with a yellow dress. If you see me come say hi.

5:39pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

I will watch for you. I am wearing a white button up hundred acre Wood shirt with my usual floppy Safari hat. If you see me, be sure to yell, "dang daddy!"

5:52pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Snacks of the lounge, and snacks from the goofy snack shop. The chicken bites were tasty, but the mac & cheese was only so so. Now it's time to shop around the world.

8:09pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

How are you getting on @goofy? We have been in the SR TT line for 20 minutes now. Feels so busy!

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

We are also stuck in line for test track. We're in the regular standby line just at the end of the second room. We're standing right in front of the glass wall at DD 19 has no blood sugar when we're taking a rest. This is great example of missing DAS.

9:56pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Looks like it's up and running now. Fingers crossed.

10:02pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

I can finally see the cars.

10:15pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Next in line and...protein spill I love you, Len, but this is not the 35 minute expected wait.

10:31pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Couldn't face GOTG now in line for FEA and we have been sent the wrong way in the line. What a disaster of a night. Don't think I'll be doing these deluxe hours at Epcot again very disappointing and just missed meeting @ goofy too.

10:42pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

The lineup for guardians are still out the door. We gave up and we're heading back to the resort. It will be a long time before I do EEH at Epcot again. Oh well, I'm still here at Disney with my family. We will get a good nights sleep, reset & go again.

11:09pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Brunch at Ale & compass tomorrow. We've never been there, but it gets a lot of love here on chat, so we will see.

11:10pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

What's EEH?

1:19pm on 8/4/26 by mickeyforlife

Extra Evening Hours for deluxe resorts

1:37pm on 8/4/26 by burfe1501

How was the brunch at Ale and Compass ? Curious about the change since they got rid of the buffet add on and if you ordered any of the items as sides.

4:09pm on 8/4/26 by tl5

I was disappointed to see the buffet was gone. I got the crabcakes and thought they were OK. DD 19 had the pancakes and enjoyed them. DD 21 had the steak and eggs. She liked the hash they made with her choice at scrambled eggs, but...

11:15pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

... mistake was quite fatty with a significant streak of grizzle. DW had the stuffed French toast and said it was excellent. One of my eggs fell on the floor on the way to the table, and it took a long time for a replacement to arrive.

11:16pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

... I had to ask for it, and by the time it did arrive, the crabcake to go under it was cold. Allen Compass is probably a one and done for us.

11:17pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

Ale and Compass.

11:17pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

We then went to the Atlantic dance hall for a DVC character meeting, which turned out to be a DJ hosted dance event. It was probably the highlight of the day. From there, we got DVC suites at Epcot and then Riviera.

11:18pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

These included chocolate covered Keylime pie, which was fantastic. We ended with some shopping on the monorail loop, made it back to the buses before the rain, but during intense lightning. Back to the resort with a bit of drizzle.

11:19pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

DD 21 and I hustled back to DHS for a last-minute Muppet roller coaster, then back home. DD 19 was feeling poorly with her diabetes so she stayed back with DW. Another example of why DAS was such a nice perk for her.

11:21pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

Her disability made her miss out on some fun tonight, and having the DAS during the days was a way to make up for some of the time lost due to life's unfairness.

11:22pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

Off to bed tonight. We will see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully EEH at MK is more successful than Monday night's at Epcot.

11:23pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

Was it still raining when you went to DHS for the quick RnRC? We missed our LL for slinky last night because of the thunder and lightning, not sure if it ever reopened. On the plus side we got our DD 11 to conquer her fears and ride RNRC! She loved it

9:07am on 8/5/26 by theotrot

It was still sprinkling when we got there, and when we left. We were in the outside portion of the line for about 10 minutes, but easily stayed dry under our umbrellas.

9:53am on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

We were up early for DHS rope drop. We made good time, except I forgot to change our park reservations. That slowed us down a few minutes. Two of us still made it to the third switch back for R&R C while the other two went to slinky.

9:55am on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

Once the line started moving, we move quickly and were probably in the third pre-show, and quickly on the roller coaster. Slinky was delayed, though, so they called an audible and broke plates instead. a quick meet of Olaf for DD 19.

9:57am on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

DD 21 made it to TOT just before the 9 o'clock rush, and we quickly "dropped in" with a great sequence of up and full drops down. One carrot cake cookie later, and we are off to the Riviera to fill drink cups and grab a bus to Animal Kingdom.

9:58am on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

For anyone interested in the cookie dough ice cream brownie at Animal Kingdom, apparently they only start selling them at the discovery island treats stand after 2:00 PM. Before that you have to go to the ice cream location on the way to Africa.

12:37pm on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

This is a "must-do" for DD17 - what is the name of ice cream location on way to Africa. Terra Treats?

1:20pm on 8/5/26 by SplitStayfortheWin

Yes, I believe so. A snack cart between the two stores in discovery Island consistently has a much shorter line, though.

1:46pm on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

Yep, it's Terra Treats.

1:50pm on 8/5/26 by utang44

I lined up at Terra treats at 10.15 yesterday and I was first in line. 5 minutes later the line was over the bridge.

1:50pm on 8/5/26 by shopaholicjane

Sitting on our patio, watching the lightning storm, we had an interesting revelation last night. We got up early and rope dropped DHS this involved waiting for a half hour or so outside the park, then another 30 minutes'ish for RNRC.

8:38am on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

We were then able to ride TOT with very little wait. The second ride definitely seems to be the key advantage of rope dropping. Today, however, we had planned to rope drop GOTG. There wasn't anything else we wanted to ride at Epcot, though.

8:39am on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

It occurred to us, but the overall amount of time waiting in line for GOTG would be similar to just going there mid morning. The difference is that arriving in line mid morning is simply arriving in line. Rope dropping requires jostling for position.

8:40am on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

I hate that fight for position, so we decided to just sleep in this morning.

8:41am on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

After a crazy day of riding freezing cold buses, soaking wet, the rain appears to finally be stopping at 9:15 PM. DD 21 and I are on a bus to MK. She just grabbed a beak and barrel reservation for 10:50 PM.

9:16pm on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

Sorry to hear about all the rain @goofy. My weather alerts have been going crazy the last few days for the WDW area. The buses being so cold does not help either. :( Glad to hear about B&B tonight. Have a couple of drinks and enjoy, matey!

9:36pm on 8/6/26 by missWishes

...view 113 more comments

If rain on our last full day is my biggest complaint, all is well on life. DD21 and I had fun at MK. I will definitely go back to B&B when I feel less rushed for time. Tomorrow is go home day, and we must pack in the morning.

12:42am by goofygardiner

Goodnight all.

12:43am by goofygardiner

Thanks for taking us along on your trip.

1:02am by Beautiesandtheb

Early entry at Space Mtn. Is it really always down? We're 3 for 3 with it being down. Really frustrating when you wake up this early on vacation for that goal!

8:15am on 8/5/26 by jolavi

...view 5 more comments

I'm sorry you're having this frustration! We often have rope dropped SM and it's never been down. TT on the other hand... (eye roll) Did you eventually get to ride TBA and SM?

4:02pm on 8/5/26 by Operaml

Still ended to having a pretty darned good day. Rides down for a long time in the evening due to lightning, but we managed to do space Mtn with a 60 min wait in between wait times of 95 mins all day and then 120 mins when lightning started! A win!

7:38am on 8/6/26 by jolavi

Way to go! Another Liner win due to outstanding knowledge and perseverance. :-D
