"What's cookin'?" DW made a meat sauce last evening and I've had it simmering all afternoon. We'll top it with freshly grated Parmesan and have some cheesy garlic bread and green beans on the side.

TP cheapest tix finder - it's only showing Unlocked Magic but I found cheaper tix on MDE and Tom Bricker's rec website Get Away Today. Used to show more options but today only UM.

2:42pm by ebcooper

collapse thread

Hmm, I see the same thing as well, just UM being offered. I sent a message to the TP folks in case they weren't aware of some sort of data connection issue.

2:50pm by JJT (staff)

David from TP is going to take a look, might be something with Disney promos breaking things. Next time you can hit them directly at: https://touringplans.com/contact-us :)

2:53pm by JJT (staff)

(BTW: for any newer folks: my name says staff, but I'm just a writer and a regular user here.)

2:55pm by JJT (staff)

Unlocked Magic has been the lowest price (including tax and fees). There are cheaper options(for example convention tickets) but I have never heard Get Away Today beating any of these? Definitely NOT MDE since those prices are not final.

3:39pm by PrincipalTinker

I did UM and it added a ton of taxes/fees... made MDE cheaper! Just an FYI.

3:51pm by ebcooper

What dates? Unlocked Magic is the only company selling 1 day tickets. Did you go all the way through in MDE to check out? Unlocked Magic is even discounting the 4 park tickets?

3:53pm by PrincipalTinker

I need to see what's going on, but monitoring ticket prices is an error-fraught endeavor. I appreciate folks letting us know if there are issues. If Disney is cheaper on the exact same ticket from any vendor, we're probably detecting a price wrong.

3:55pm by david (staff)

That's weird @eb! Unlocked Magic isn't adding fees on when I just did a fake trip. It was $55.32 cheaper with unlocked magic than MDE. What are your dates?

4:00pm by popupcamper

I just looked out of curiosity and the only thing I saw added to tix in Unlocked Magic cart was tax. Random date 6/22, 4 day tix all in UM = $734. Get Away = $751. Disney direct = $794.

4:02pm by JJT (staff)

I just checked both hoppers and 1 park a day MDE/Unlocked Magic and I too get significant savings.

4:03pm by PrincipalTinker

@David must have already fixed it. I'm getting 7 options and they match what I found when I went direct to the respective websites.

4:04pm by popupcamper

I checked May 6th, 1 adult, before the 1 park special (but that special deal is cheaper on Unlocked Magic when it is active).

FWIW, convention tix 4 day PH = $635, plus you can pay with discounted gift cards (like regular Disney tix.)

Looks like TP has ticket calculator back to normal.

4:05pm by JJT (staff)

I didn't do anything yet, but I'm glad it seems to be working. We generally update ticket price data overnight, so I'd be surprised if something on our end changed mid-day.

Has anyone tried the MCO Reserve at the airport?

3:49pm by mary32830

We've done it a few times, only once was it significantly faster than regular security. Could just be the time of day we fly, rarely is there a huge backup at tsa. In fact, the last trip we didn't save any time at all. That said, I would still sign up.

3:55pm by Call me Leota

DS's girlfriend just used for our trip this morning. As you can imagine with current delays, it was useful. Saved maybe 20 minutes. Still took her 30 minutes total vs our 5 minutes thru Precheck.

4:31pm by Jennyhirsch

I think it would have been way faster without all the weather problems and back ups of people trying to get on flights and call outs of TSA staff of last few days.

Is Chewbacca a walk around character in Galaxy's Edge? He doesn't appear on the list of character M&Gs on MDE. Dsis would love to get a pic w him next week (she hasn't been to WDW since 2008!)

I've seen him meeting in front of the Milennium Falcon. If you're facing the ship his nook is to the right.

Sunday he was where @eva described.

Got a long email from a Southwest customer service specialist, after I emailed Bob Jordan & various execs about my last flight. To sum it up: 1) sorry about the overhead bin space. 2) preboard to wipe down seat due to nut allergy.

Getting a response was a small win, I think.

11:40am on 3/12/26 by Jennyhirsch

They did send out an email about changing up the front bin space rules, hopefully that really happens. Preboard for sure, but if pistachios are as bad as it sounds I might start packing a power washer.

12:13pm on 3/12/26 by JJT (staff)

I know of no one with a nut allergy but, find it bizarre to give out nuts on any flight. This is not the 90's!

1:43pm on 3/12/26 by JackOfAll

I agree Jack. How badly does someone need nuts that they can't go a few hours without them?!

2:16pm on 3/12/26 by evamarie320

I obviously agree. :) You might be amazed at how many people get 100% indignant about it in various contexts. Out in the world, people with allergies just gotta deal. But would be nice to not have to worry about it in the confined space of a flying tube.

2:34pm on 3/12/26 by JJT (staff)

My daughter's dairy allergy is airborne. She wears a mask on every flight and never eats or drinks. It sucks :(

2:41pm on 3/12/26 by KLuck

How long must one go without nuts, you ask? There's a That's What She Said in there somewhere.

I have a son w a nut allergy and a SIS who deliberately sent food to school in violation of policy because it wasn't fair her kids couldn't eat what they wanted. People suck. Glad you at least got a response from the airline! They screwed up here.

Wait, do we have the same SIS?

3:45pm on 3/13/26 by Ali Ababwa

....items didn't contain nuts themselves. My niece has a life threatening banana allergy so I get it. It was just frustrating for sure.

3:55pm on 3/13/26 by popupcamper

Also funny story once. I was driving carpool and had a kid with a nut allergy. I would always bring snacks and forgot to check that the Ritz crackers didn't have nuts before I passed them out. Once I heard him bite it I realized I hadn't and yelled....

4:06pm on 3/13/26 by popupcamper

....spit it out! Cracker crumbs all over my car. He was in middle school so it's not like I was giving them to a 3 year old but still. (No nuts in Ritz crackers.)

4:07pm on 3/13/26 by popupcamper

That is funny picturing spitting out on demand. Lame response to your complaint. There would have been a Reply All to that email for sure!

6:33pm on 3/13/26 by Magicalday2011

Heard the comedian Kathleen Madigan ranting on her podcast about the SWA changes. She says they announced they will only be wiping down the expensive seats in front of plane to save time and money. Can't vouch that she's accurate on that but sounds right

9:56am on 3/15/26 by evamarie320

It's actually the opposite I think. They never wiped down seats between flights. This would be adding wiping down seats for the extra legroom (that has pistachios). SWA has a PR problem and aren't explaining themselves very well.

Pardon the pun, but SW is nuts. I mentioned that in my email. They've finally limited the 20 wheelchairs preboarding where half were people wanting overhead bin space. Replaced with 40 people preboarding with "nut" allergies.

11:03am on 3/15/26 by Jennyhirsch

Step 1: Change all the rules in the name of cost and time savings. 2. Introduce snack that both makes it dangerous for some flyers and makes a big mess. 3. Add extra cleaning for messy snack that both costs more & increases turnaround time. 4. PROFIT.

12:13pm on 3/15/26 by JJT (staff)

Oh that's interesting @popup! Kathleen Madigan is very funny about a lot of things but this week and last she ranted about SWA. She's a frequent traveler and used to be a SWA diehard. She says she thinks the current board is actively trying to tank SWA.

2:05pm on 3/15/26 by evamarie320

Perfectly said @JJT.

rules, there would be more bin space. Talking about all airlines. I often see people's backpacks and whatnot taking up space in overhead bins and people with nothing under their seat. Also still see lots of oversized carry ons.

2:55pm on 3/15/26 by h2olly

I know of Hot Springs but haven't been. Have done Arkadelphia though. Our experience with Arkansas was the kindest most welcoming people with beautiful country. If we ever left Texas AR would be in the list.

4:02pm on 3/15/26 by popupcamper

I have lots of family in Arkadelphia. I agree. Lots of just really nice people in Arkansas. I have lived in lots of different states, but eventually settled down for good back here.

To continue the theme of trashing SWA, the app is a mess! Even tho I checked us both I in and added bags and got boarding passes, DH was still promoted to do all of that when he went to see his boarding pass. So we almost had two bags each instead of one

Now we are at airport, flight is delayed 3.5 hours, which appears in app. But the big Upgrade Your Seats button still beckons so I pushed it and it says flight was already completed. Um I wish.

Omg @eva. That's exhausting. I'm contemplating driving in April instead.

8:53am by popupcamper

UGH. Sending good vibes for your flight getting moved back up. One time we arrived at ISP at 5AM and couldn't login to any of our phone apps to scan in at kiosk. SW rep at desk was super annoyed and told us we'd have to figure out how to login...

9:08am by JJT (staff)

..insinuating strongly was our fault. Until 11 other people walked up & they realized app was down. Rep doubled-down, slamming things on desk as we handed them IDs. When I told them we needed pre-board I thought I could see steam coming out of their ears.

Wow @jjt. The SWA reps here today are in great spirits. Dressed all in green, smiling, offering to help!

Flight won't be moved up. It was supposed to leave at 6;10! Just starting to board now. Still better than a day at work.

Almost all of the time the reps at ISP are great, I think that one just came pre-loaded for the day. ;) We've also had a few snarky SW FAs when pre-boarding to allergy wipe seats too, humans gonna human.

How does Wailulu work now? Is the lounge/bar area still all walk up and the area with tables/booths all ADR?

The lounge is still walk up. You can do walk up in the app for the "restaurant" portion or an ADR.

1:27pm on 3/15/26 by nightowl04

You are correct. There were no seats at bar/lounge last 2 times I showed up around 3-4pm. I'd make an ADR and then if you find seats at bar, you can smile, explain, and cancel ADR at the hostess stand.

3:24pm on 3/15/26 by Jennyhirsch

And order the espresso martini with a shot of Baileys. You are welcome.

@popup @jenny what are some of your favorite menu items?! Hoping to visit with DH during our upcoming trip

4:41pm on 3/15/26 by disneymama3

If you like fish, I really enjoy their fish. They just did a menu update. I don't even think it's showing in MDE yet. They added a noodle dish with shrimp. It was OK. I really actually like the salad. I get the dressing on the side in the teriyaki chicken

4:57pm on 3/15/26 by nightowl04

Sliders they were good too. If the ingredients sound like it's something you like. I found that I like them more for lunch than for dinner. I've been there for lunch several times and had excellent service. Dinner just OK. No difference in the menus.

4:58pm on 3/15/26 by nightowl04

5:02pm on 3/15/26 by nightowl04

Mmmm, green curry!

We've liked the teriyaki chicken poke bowl, wayfinder burger and pork shank. DD liked the tuna poke bowl.

5:15pm on 3/15/26 by popupcamper

Dinner has been the only time that the green curry was not as good. It is a really delicious fish dish if you dig those flavors. It would be 50 dollars at another restaurant. 32 ish dollars is really a steal with that view.

5:25pm on 3/15/26 by nightowl04

Burger is my absolute favorite and I will split that for a lunch with a DD or DH with a side of sweet potato fries. Sliders are good. Kids have done poke bowls several times. Hummus yummy but you may need to order (and pay for) extra plaintains.

I have an expired after 4p ticket in my account. Anyone have experience calling the conference line to transfer the value from one conference you "attended" to a ticket at another one you are "attending"? I feel like it would be too obvious I'm not....

... really attending them, as they are completely different specialities. The avoidant person in me thinks it might be better to just be out the $100. Will they really question me?

11:41pm on 3/1/26 by daisylover78

They won't care. Just ask to change the date. Laugh off any questions. Oh I couldn't make that date after all.

6:38am on 3/2/26 by melcort10

You don't have to move it to another conference, you're just moving a ticket you didn't have time to use to a new date. They don't grill you, just know the name of the original con, they ask. It is a script.

6:41am on 3/2/26 by JJT (staff)

I need to change the date of my ticket. Why? Oh my spouse was attending the conference but now we can't go. I'm so bummed but we can sneak down in June. Thanks for your help? Which conference? Oh I have no idea, I was just coming for the pool and Mickey!

7:10am on 3/2/26 by melcort10

What @mel said. I use that script for everything. Could be best friend's conference. Cousin's. Doesn't matter!

7:59am on 3/2/26 by Jennyhirsch

Thanks everyone! So how does it actually work - do I say "Now I'm going to X conference and need a ticket then"? The other complicating factor is there isn't a conference with a one week overlap of my trip so I was going to use JJT's date change trick...

8:27am on 3/2/26 by daisylover78

... but I don't think that will work over the phone. I may have to just hold onto this credit for another time.

8:27am on 3/2/26 by daisylover78

My question - am I actually buying the new ticket on the phone, or getting the credit to purchase the ticket online.

8:28am on 3/2/26 by daisylover78

All you need to do is ask to change the date of your ticket. I would not lead with anything conference related at all and just brush off any questions about the conference. Say you can't go on that date anymore and you need to move it. End of story.

8:50am on 3/2/26 by melcort10

Sounds like it already passed which just makes it easier. "I couldn't make it that day. Can you change it to future date.?" They will not interrogate you. The answer will be, sure no problem. Here's the price difference.

8:51am on 3/2/26 by melcort10

You basically already have the credit and just need to buy the new ticket.

8:52am on 3/2/26 by melcort10

Maybe where I'm getting hung up is - if I want to change the date, does the new date need to line up with a conference, since it was a conference ticket? If not, then it sounds like I can just pick any date and pay any price difference?

11:34pm on 3/2/26 by daisylover78

Ok no, it does not need to line up with a conference! But you are right that you'll probably have to pay more.

Update: just called to apply my ticket to my upcoming trip, and was told I can't just move an after 4p ticket - they can only book an after 4p ticket with a conference, and there are no conferences that overlap my trip. I don't really have a way...

4:56pm by daisylover78

... to recoup the value, because I'm buying conference tickets for the other days using JJT's "change the date" trick, which I obviously can't do over the phone. I guess it will just continue to sit there!

Call back and try again. Worst case they should let you apply the money that you paid to another full price ticket.

You can do ROTR as a single rider if you don't mind missing the preshow with Ray and the shuttle ride. IMHO it is pretty fun but if you want to ride that is an option. SDD seems so hard to get so I always rope drop. Be warned SDD can be down...
