The forecast high for my discovery cove day next week is 61 degrees. Such a bummer. Anyone been when it's that cold? I think I need to reschedule

80's would be nice. We froze on a 62 day.

9:52pm on 3/9/26 by JackOfAll

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. You are confining I need to move that date if I can

10:14pm on 3/9/26 by VikeQueen

I'd move it if possible. It's too expensive an adventure to be miserable.

10:29pm on 3/9/26 by TeacherGrandma

Not sure where you're seeing that. The lowest I see is 74 on 3/19. I did change once when it was to be chilly but have been fine there on 70 degree sunny days.

10:30pm on 3/9/26 by snowdiz

Maybe it's 61 Celsius

10:55pm on 3/9/26 by Fatty McButterpants

I'll check again. The weather channel for me is showing 61 on the 17th and mid60s on the 18th. With storms on the 16th apparently bringing in a cool front?

1:47pm on 3/10/26 by VikeQueen

@vike definitely looks like a chilly morning on the 17th with "feels like" temps forecasted only in the 40s most of the morning. I would reschedule - we did last year due to cool temps and it was an easy phone call

2:34pm on 3/10/26 by disneymama3

Thanks very helpful to confirm your experience so I will get to work on this! We have a cabana so a little complicated ...

3:20pm on 3/10/26 by VikeQueen

FYI that was easy to change w a quick phone call even w a cabana. I hope the storms stay away! We have a short spring break trip and the weather forecast isn't great.

4:35pm on 3/10/26 by VikeQueen

I hope so too @VikeQueen. My family is coming from WI for their spring break Saturday night, and we have filled every day with outdoor plans, including a beach trip.

5:25pm on 3/10/26 by snowdiz

@snow is the winter storm going to hit your family? Saturday night here in MN is going to be rough I hope your family makes it out ok.

9:40am on 3/13/26 by VikeQueen

@VikeQueen, they depart Milwaukee at 3:30 tomorrow so hopefully they are leaving just in time. $200 each more to move up the flight.

10:06am on 3/13/26 by snowdiz

Did they make it @snow? We did ! And so glad to miss the foot plus of snow falling at home!

6:11am on 3/15/26 by VikeQueen

Yes, they made it only 20 min late! So glad it wasn't today!

I am very happy to be enjoying a glorious day at discovery cove instead of shoveling!

Are you there now VikeQueen? Looks .ike it is in the 80s there today.

Yes! We ended up with a spectacular day and made it back to the hotel just before the skies opened up. So after a lot of stress planning , it was a pretty perfect day :)

Yay VikeQueen. Glad you had a great day.

Can someone share strategy/tips for rope-dropping La Cava in EP?

8:50pm on 3/15/26 by boardwalkbum

Go to Epcot before it opens. When it opens, walk with purpose straight to Le Cava.

9:55pm on 3/15/26 by goofygardiner

I haven't gotten out much lately. Perhaps this will serve as a bump to someone who can actually answer your question.

9:55pm on 3/15/26 by goofygardiner

Haha-thank you?

9:57pm on 3/15/26 by boardwalkbum

I am curios about this also. Want to go on my next trip. Is it walk up?

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.

collapse thread

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.

9:59pm on 3/12/26 by hol74976

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.

9:35am on 3/13/26 by VikeQueen

Wait, do we have the same SIS?

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

I got frustrated when my kids were in school tbh because we weren't allowed to send dairy in lunch kits even though the cafeteria provided dairy. Also my kids had a teacher that would throw away anything MADE in a facility with nuts even though the....

....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.

11:02am on 3/15/26 by popupcamper

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.

@eva, did you watch her on last comic standing? I loved that show so much.

Sorry about your bad experience jennyhirsch. I used to only fly SW. Not anymore. I may have to start again because they're starting non-stop flights to Orlando soon out of Little Rock. All others there is a,ways a connection. If the FAs would enforce rrul

2:53pm on 3/15/26 by h2olly

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

@h2lly, are you in Little Rock? I sing the song to DH every time that name gets mentioned. He's not amused. (Reba, not Collin Ray. But here's both videos for anyone's viewing pleasure. )

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.

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.

I have a cruise planned for a July 4th departure out of Port Canaveral this year. Guesses on traffic in the morning? Normally the drive is pretty smooth. Just unsure that specific weekend with beach goers too.

Figure extra time. I'd go the day before. One accident backs up that highway

We are coming down the 2nd but will be at WDW. We might try leaving extra early.

6:31pm on 3/15/26 by nightowl04

We have sailed out of Port Canaveral on 7/4 before. Although, it has been a few years. We had no problems with traffic. But, I do want to say, if it's a DCL, we didn't get fireworks that night. I don't remember why...blah, blah, rules or something.

Next week's sister trip and she hasn't been since 2008! V excited for Pandora. Would you do Navi first and then FoP or the opposite? (using LLMP and LLSP) Those 2 plus Safari and Kali (pray for me lol) are her must-dos at AK.

I would do Navi first and then knock her socks off with FOP! Good luck with Kali.

Any golfers here? I'm a novice, but hubby is decent. I think it would be really cool to play in DW together. Any advice on what course we should play in Sept? Is there tolerance for a newbie that shanks every other ball or should I just steer clear?

Mediocre golfer here, I'd recommend playing the Lake Buena Vista course. It's a nice course and fun to play, though not as challenging as either Palm or Magnolia. You'll be fine, I've been paired with very good players as well as novices. Every round ....

For what its worth ive checked all these new discounts coming out and nothing so far has beaten the bounceback offer i booked back in the fall. For this summer. BOok those bouncebacks!

4:53pm on 3/12/26 by Totsypooh

Hey @Totsy, question: can bouncebacks be used on more than one booking? I've got a 1-day pre-cruise and 2-day post-cruise booking I would like to use it on.

5:25pm on 3/12/26 by Ali Ababwa

I agree with @Totsy! @Ali - yes!

5:48pm on 3/12/26 by TumbleMonkeys

You can do three bouncebacks per adult in the room, so with DD, you could technically book six of them, @ali.

6:03pm on 3/12/26 by utang44

Thanks @Tumble!

6:04pm on 3/12/26 by Ali Ababwa

Woo hoo, then it will also cover my MNSSHP trip! That might induce me to upgrade to something closer to MK!

6:05pm on 3/12/26 by Ali Ababwa

Yes and if a better deal comes up you can always switch to it. Ive rarely found better offers though. Esp for the cheapest value rooms. I have sports for 117 a night in august. The best offer right now is in the 150s

7:04pm on 3/12/26 by Totsypooh

@Ali, I just make a new reservation and cancel the old one. I do not even try to modify anymore.

7:50pm on 3/12/26 by JackOfAll

Anyone know the current bounce back offer? And it's the calendar year and not 12 months, right?

3:33pm on 3/14/26 by nivi0101

The bounceback (and current bookings in general) only go through the end of 2026 right now. But if you get a bounceback you can move it once 2027 dates open. It's generally about 5% less discount than AP. So 35/30/25 off versus 40/35/30 off.

3:48pm on 3/14/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Valid dates remaining are March 3 to May 21, 2026 May 25 to July 1, 2026 July 6 to September 2, 2026 September 7 to 29, 2026 October 26 to 31, 2026

Thank you! But yeah, those dates will not work for us but good to know.

3:52pm on 3/14/26 by nivi0101

I'm not happy they excluded nearly the entire month of October when I want to go back to MNSSHP! But I'll make it work.

6:16pm on 3/14/26 by Ali Ababwa

We're trying to decide if we should go ahead and get an AP again (2 trips this year). Would any AP holder be willing to look at cost ands availability for Pop c/i 4/7 and c/o 4/10?

Now considering whether I should blow those savings by changing to WL

6:42pm on 3/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

From where @ali? Have you done WL before? I feel like you and DD would like it.

7:03pm on 3/15/26 by popupcamper

Last time I stayed at WL was around 1996, and they had a lovely Pocahontas character meal. Long before all the development there. We launched green Army men with parachutes off the top floor into the lobby.

8:28pm on 3/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

Yes I do indeed love most of the deluxes especially WL, but I just have a psychological barrier to spending over $500/night for a hotel room. Yes, that's why I need to buy DVC so I can use Disney Points instead of $USD.

8:37pm on 3/15/26 by Ali Ababwa

Buy DVC and your cost per night goes down by half.... (Esp if you go the resale route)

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

@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

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.

Sure! It seems to look a little different each time. I highly recommend an early lunch ressie. Sit outside and just enjoy the calm. A couple times there have even been characters that have stopped by the green space. That was fun at Xmas.

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.
