Going on DCL with family. We have connecting staterooms and i want to be able to control booking excursions and activities together. Do I simply add their reservation in the dcl app or is there something else I need to do to link them to us?

Also, we are silver castaway club members and they have never sailed before. I'm sure we will have different PATs, is it possible to all board together?

6:51pm on 6/7/26 by vickiwaffles

You can link them in the disney cruise app and you would be able to book for them but one stateroom at a time. You would have to board during their later time if you want to go in together

You can have the reservations linked and then you can book excursions all at once. We have done it multiple times. We do a room for us and 1 for our kids (one is an adult). I called DCL to have them linked.

Oh btw. Last cruise i split my entire family across all 4 staterooms so each room got status (and silver castaway gifts!) that way we could all check in and get the same port arrival times. We were at the buffet before noon and enjoyed a quiet boat

Hello! How early should we be at the bus stop at Pop Century to rope drop FOP during early entry? Do we need to be there 90 minutes early?

LL/Swap question: TT, as example. If 3 of us have LL and 2 stay with DS1, can those 2 use RS without booking a LL? Or if all 5 have LL, can 2 ride twice because of RS?

@mel - that's the old way! When we were kids that's how all the rider swap worked. We literally handed my baby sister over the BTMRR train. Oh. Maybe that's why they adjusted...

My kids are older now but I think this method is tough with toddlers. Easy with babies but not for kids that can't understand why they can't ride or might be scared. But I think WDW is giving families a choice. We did this at Tron and Soarin too.

8:17pm on 6/7/26 by melcort10

Do you have to go thru the line at Tron or any of the other rides with your toddler/baby? I'd prefer to take my toddler to do something else nearby while we wait instead of wait in line. I hope they give you a choice at each attraction.

Does anyone know if Kidani Village still has BBQ grills available for use and if they are charcoal or gas? And do you need to reserve them?

7:08pm on 6/7/26 by Maxinesk

All of the DVC grills we have ever used are charcoal and no reservations needed. But I can't speak to Kidani. I don't think they would have been removed if they show on the map though. You can buy charcoal in the gift shop.

8:15pm on 6/7/26 by melcort10

I saw them in April. Didn't try to use.

10:35pm on 6/7/26 by snowdiz

Has anyone had experience with changing a WDW visit and cruise dates? We are 16 days away from our trip and have 2 other family members in the hospital. Praying we can go but wanting to know our options.

6:37pm on 6/7/26 by JackOfAll

It has a foot push open and it confuses people

Check out day: do we have to check out at the front desk if we are leaving before 11am? We leave for the airport at 8:30am and a CM on the chat feature said I must check out in person at the front desk. I thought we could check out anytime through the app

5:51pm on 6/7/26 by WildernessPixie

collapse thread

I haven't gone to Check Out @ Front Desk in years. I only go to resolve room charges that I want to use GC to pay for instead of CC on file. Unless there's something unique about your reservation, checkout through app should be fine.

6:02pm on 6/7/26 by DestinyCalled

I've never checked out of a WDW hotel either in person or on the app!

6:11pm on 6/7/26 by evamarie320

Oh my! I am sorry but the fact that chat is so very wrong is hilarious. You check out in the app. They will automatically check you out but I do hit the check out link in the app when I am leaving.

6:17pm on 6/7/26 by PrincipalTinker

I'm with @PT. Who are these people that don't know the answer to such a basic question. I also don't always remember to use the app and simply leave the room. No problems

6:59pm on 6/7/26 by youcanfly

That's what I thought. I've never gone to the front desk to check out and they always send a folio email in the afternoon of check out day. I was trying to double check since we usually fly out later in the day but the CM's response didn't seem right.

6:59pm on 6/7/26 by WildernessPixie

I'll check out in the app if I leave the room before 11:00. You'll get a push notification.

7:17pm on 6/7/26 by JenniferB1975

I'm with @eva - maybe once in a while I'll use the app if it reminds me, but mostly it's just an "Irish goodbye" (where I leave but don't tell anybody). :-)

7:20pm on 6/7/26 by TumbleMonkeys

An Irish goodbye lol.

8:11pm on 6/7/26 by evamarie320

I've always checked out in app however just checked out today and the check out button wasn't enabled - told me to go to the desk. I used chat and they told me not to worry I'd be checked out automatically at 11. That doesn't seem to help housekeeping...

.... Be able to turn rooms over if it doesn't give people option to checkout and just waits until 11. Perhaps they only schedule those after 11. On a different note we had very late room service - like 530 one day and we left room at 9am.

8:28pm on 6/7/26 by tl5

That's good to know @tl5.

9:35pm on 6/7/26 by WildernessPixie

I check out sporadically.

10:09pm on 6/7/26 by JackOfAll

Anyone know what type of fridge they have in the Cars suites? Regular mini fridge or beverage cooler? TIA!

12:13pm on 6/6/26 by undone73

Bumping. Anyone know?

9:15pm on 6/7/26 by undone73

I saw it on a YouTube video and believe it was a mini fridge.

9:28pm on 6/7/26 by JenniferB1975

Yes, this is one (and I believe the only?) non-DVC room left standing that still offers a bonafide mini-fridge.

Doing AK with a local friend in July. Want to do LLMP/SP. I'm on property, she's off. Can I book us all LL's if we're friends on the app? 7 days in advance? 3 days in advance? Or since we're separate parties do we both book and just coordinate?

Absolutely agree with @youcan.

7:59pm on 6/7/26 by evamarie320

I can't add them to my room reservation (they are a party of 4). Can I book everyone at 3 days or do we have to book seperate? It's AK and we have all day in the park, so I'm not worried about availability being an issue.

8:13pm on 6/7/26 by maurine08

You can book everyone at 3 but availability will be worse and the times much later. I say book at 7 and 3 then do your best to reconcile.

9:20pm on 6/7/26 by Totsypooh

We are staying 3 nights at poly tower in aug to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We'd love to eat at the new open air bar in the evening. Tips on getting one of the tables on the exterior/open air area?

@nj has the right plan.

2:58pm on 6/7/26 by TacMed

assuming nothing has changed regarding the bar and low tables, they are completely outside and first come first serve We have only sat there

4:26pm on 6/7/26 by youcanfly

Thanks! Planning to make a reservation after sunset so the heat will be a bit more tolerable.
