Been out of the loop for a bit.With room cancel policy now 8d, can I book a throwaway res at campgd for days -7 to 0 so I can make LLMPs at day -14 for my entire real 7-day stay from day 0 to 7? Then cancel the campgd res and pay a 1-night cancel charge?

I don't believe there's a loophole with lightning lane. If you cancel you lose them.
11:24pm on 5/27/26 by
You forfeit the deposit (which is 1 night) if you cancel within 0-7 days. Just wanted to know if they closed the leading res loophole for LLs. Sounds like they did.
11:34pm on 5/27/26 by
Ah ok. My understanding is that thats precisely why they moved to an 8 day cancel. (It used to be 5) -- to close the loophole when they moved from same day LL booking to 3/7 days before.

Considering a Sept or Oct long weekend trip in '27 for mnsshp. Options are 9/18-9/21 vs 10/9-10/12 (Columbus Day Wknd). Prefer Oct for weather (less hurricane risk) but Sept may have lower crowds. Thoughts on picking one over the other?
5:34pm on 5/27/26 by
We love trips in October but try to avoid Columbus Day.
7:36pm on 5/27/26 by
Review the date-based ticket pricing if you have a bigger group.
7:49pm on 5/27/26 by
Ok, so it sounds like my suspicions about the crowds for Columbus weekend are confirmed!

Considering Aug 21 as an MK. Park closes at 6 so I assume a party night. I hear from other people that those days are usually great for low crowds. TP has it as a 3. Is it worth it? We have two MK days on our trip.
10:26pm on 5/27/26 by
An early night for our kids and possibly an evening swim sounds kinda nice. Thoughts?
10:26pm on 5/27/26 by
We did an MK day in November when there was a party, I also believe CL 3. Very doable and got a ton done. My kids are younger so we wouldn't last until late anyways so it was perfect.
10:34pm on 5/27/26 by
It's so nice.
11:10pm on 5/27/26 by
I think it's a great plan! We arrive on 8/22 and that's our plan on the 23!

Just booked a trip for our April break! Staying at ASM. First time seeing Flower and Garden. Have only ever gone at the end of August and seen it decorated for Halloween. I know my liners will understand my excitment.

Yay! F&G is my favorite festival, and it's the time I prefer for a quick solo trip :)
9:48pm on 5/27/26 by
Love F&G! April weather is pretty good generally. Can be hot but not like summer, and Epcot is beautiful!
11:11pm on 5/27/26 by
The best festival in my opinion! Enjoy!

today was our first day back to reality after a magical 12 days. running on 3hr of sleep after flight delays but I wanted to recap our most magical trip yet. first of all a massive thanks to mom & @cobia for having enough dvc points so us kids can go

We didn't do park hopper for the first time in years and it was actually really pleasant. My grandpa is elderly in a wheelchair and that combined with the kids makes park hopping hard to do. We will add a rest day next time for sure. I want to go back!!!!
11:05pm on 5/27/26 by
And I'm so beyond happy that my parents finally got to do WAT, it's been a dream of theirs for years, and the photos are so awesome (they're so cute). I'm so grateful they raised us kids as a disney family. That's all folks!!!
11:06pm on 5/27/26 by
Loved following your trip, @camm and @cobia!
11:08pm on 5/27/26 by
Wow... HS is opening 8:00 with 7:30 EE on 26th! I guess they are really expecting the crowds! Glad I'm RDing on 27th!

What a fantastic morning!!
4:43pm on 5/27/26 by
Great morning! Would also love to hear how EEH went at MK :). Thinking about keeping the kids up extra late for this when we're visiting next month
10:39pm on 5/27/26 by
Ok! MK tonight for extra hours. Arrive by 8pm - stay as late as we can. Best spot for 9pm parade? We do not care about HEA projections, usually watch from behind castle or Liberty Square area and continue rides.
6:26pm on 5/27/26 by
Thank you! It was the best viewing location! We saw floats come over bridge with castle lit up in background!

Checking in MDE- ideal days before arrival?Now that they no longer take TP room requests is it better to check in early to give whatever room requests you can.Historically we always check in day of but wondering if I should change my process.Thanks!
8:52pm on 5/27/26 by
I've always checked in online months in advance. As soon as I have my flight info, I'll check in.
9:01pm on 5/27/26 by
Rooms are reportedly assigned several days ahead of arrival, so I'd check in at least a week before if that's how you're making your room request.
9:13pm on 5/27/26 by
Thank you! Just checked in and not liking the options - High Floor, Near Elevator , odd number and None! I'd feel better if there was a text box but that would give false hope. I really try to avoid connecting rooms but that isn't an option :-(

"What's cookin'?" Breakfast dinner for DW and I tonight. Belgian waffles with fresh strawberries and whipped cream and some baked ham for our protein. Share your Wednesday dinner ideas.
4:38pm on 5/27/26 by
Tacos here. Either popsicles or yogurt with fruit for dessert.
7:58pm on 5/27/26 by
I made a chicken salad with grapes, celery, and chopped almonds added
9:50pm on 5/27/26 by
Just wanted to say that breakfast for supper is always a massive hit in this household. I should add it in to menu rotation for next week. Thanks for the reminder! Waffles and whip with strawberries sounds excellent.
10:35pm on 5/27/26 by
If I make a mobile order but never mark here, will I be charged. Running short on time...
9:13pm on 5/27/26 by
I'm pretty sure they refund you.
9:44pm on 5/27/26 by
yes they do. It gets a refund or never charged.
9:56pm on 5/27/26 by
And it will time out at end of window.
