My very first offsite visit in coming up. What do you do differently? We will have a car/APs. Each park one time. dAS (no LL typically needed). When to arrive at each park and any tips on parking/trams /TTC/ways to use the time during EE. Thanks

Bumping to get offsite tips. Do you go the opposite direction of EE guests? Never not had EE available to us. Also we don't usually drive to the parks so I haven't navigated driving parking lots. TTC trams etc.

2:56pm by wvdisneyrn

I do offsite often. Parking is really only a PITA at MK, only because everything is far to the TTC. I haven't used trams in for ever so not much to add there. I do try to move opposite of EE at MK.

When entering parking remember to follow for all guests unless otherwise necessary. Watch CMs as they direct you. Also I did notice your other question about 3hr breaks. We do often leave and return, even when offsite.

For anyone who's eaten bfast at Ale&Compass is the enhancement an additional $28? On top of entree price? Just thinking that seems really high

8:10pm on 7/3/26 by 321itsme

I believe thats the entree plus access to the small buffet area of add-ons

8:28pm on 7/3/26 by Totsypooh

It's the total price inclusive of the entree with the buffet.

8:31pm on 7/3/26 by utang44

It includes an entree.

6:10am on 7/4/26 by TumbleMonkeys

I'm a little bummed that A&C is so pricey now. I didn't realize you can't just get 2 eggs and coffee there anymore, like at SH71.

7:49am on 7/4/26 by Jennyhirsch

You can only order scrambled eggs?

8:25am on 7/4/26 by PrincipalTinker

How much was it before? The prices look reasonable and normal to me. I'd guess you could order eggs on their own, or they might let you order the scrambled eggs kids meal.

8:49am on 7/4/26 by utang44

I've gotten the kids blueberry pancakes so I think you can get kids' meals.

9:22am on 7/4/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Doesn't it also include a drink - like juice or milk for 28? It was unclear to me the price for kids to do the enhancement. With regard to adults getting kids entrees this is the one restaurant where I felt they discouraged it for my kids older than 12.

9:34am on 7/4/26 by tl5

Perhaps it was a one-off server but they definitely pointed to the age when we asked. I don't believe it was at breakfast but it has been awhile so can't recall for sure.

9:35am on 7/4/26 by tl5

We've done A&C 3x in last 18mo & really enjoyed the $28 "enhancement" buffet. It includes basic coffee or juice, so when compared to a buffet or other nicer sit-down, it feels like a good deal. Throw in DVC, etc discounts & it can be a steal

3:47pm on 7/4/26 by DestinyCalled

My DD got the buffet and I ordered 2 eggs with bacon and coffee. I believe you can ask for whatever you prefer. Maybe I got "sides"

8:46pm on 7/4/26 by Magicalday2011

Was looking at the menu online last night and noticed the enhancement wasn't listed but saw a side of mini muffins fruit and cinnamon rolls? Another side of yogurt parfaits I think. Anyone been this week,as it appears updated menu last few days.

8:28am on 7/26/26 by tl5

We were at A&C about a week and a half ago and they said the enhancement was ending on July 22. They also made some changes to the menu.

9:54am on 7/26/26 by T07

I saw this was going away. Sad because this was our next trip breakfast choice. We try something different every time

12:01pm on 7/26/26 by snelvis

So they're taking away the buffet bit and you just pick off menu?

1:38pm on 7/26/26 by hodg

Disappointing to hear of this change!

1:41pm on 7/26/26 by snowdiz

That was our favorite breakfast at Disney. So saf to see this ending.

Looking to beat the heat at MK without going back to offsite resort. What would you do from 12-3ish. Is that enough time. Monorail resorts/meals/rest. TS or QS? Going Saturday. Best plan for after we return to MK. Best place and time for parade and HEA?

2:52pm by wvdisneyrn

I am debating this also- may end up back at the resort just due to being so dang hot and sweaty but just in case I was going to try to figure something else out also lol

2:56pm by koolaid

3 hours is plenty of time, esp considering you'll be in AC and away from crowds during those hours. You could Uber to/from your hotel to reduce the amount of time you spend getting from Point A to B during your break.

55 min ago by SecondFavoriteDuck

I would do a TS meal at a monorail resort or WL. Will take up a good chunk of the time in transport and eating, and it'll be good and cold inside the resort. WL also has giant smooshy chairs in its lobby, which would be perfect for resting.

45 min ago by utang44

Dumb question here - do the LL run out when pre booking ? If I am planning MK for 8/2 right now the earliest return time for BTMRR is 5:20. I can't book until Thursday - will there be any left? We are going to rope drop also but wanted to ride again.

12:44pm on 7/26/26 by koolaid

Thanks for the info @Second! We are planning on rope dropping it also so crossing fingers we can get in quickly and towards the front of the rope dropping crowd. Any suggestions for where to enter Frontierland?

8:29pm on 7/26/26 by koolaid

So I just checked thrilldata again and BTMRR is showing all morning times starting tomorrow for LL so maybe there's hope for getting an earlier time. Does that seem normal to you all? I can modify a time after I pre book right?

2:54pm by koolaid

Yes you can modify immediately after making your selection. I recommend using BG1 to do this so you can sidestep the time gaps MDE imposes between LLMPs.

Family trip this weekend and crowds are projected to be 3 with MK a 2 and EP a 1 all weekend. Is this accurate? Seems like low crowds for a summer weekend but I have never been in July.. Is it too good to be true and should we expect more crowds?

8:50am by 30ishmom2

collapse thread

We won't know if it's accurate til after it happens. But it has been a very low crowd summer. You can look at the historical crowd calendar for the past month and see how often TP's low estimates have been close or spot on. Enjoy!

9:05am by evamarie320

I wish my family could handle the heat and take advantage of low crowd levels!

9:52am by HeiGirlHei

I just logged on and saw CLs for today. Can't remember the last time I have seen a 1! Enjoy!

12:36pm by h2olly

See you there! We typically go in 3 weeks and the crowds have been a dream. See how this compares

12:43pm by Phillylaura

Just did the weekend and if next weekend is like next weekend, it will not be very crowded. Popular rides will still have long lines, but the crowd numbers are pretty accurate.

12:51pm by maurine08

At Epcot today the 27th more like a 4 than a 1

1:07pm by jksnyder

Thanks all! Fingers crossed that crowd levels are low since we'll have a big family group and low waits would be nice. I'll keep you posted!

1:46pm by 30ishmom2

Looking at the ride wait times, it could very well still be a 1 at Epcot today. Might be a 2. But the wait times are mostly within the CL 1 range. Since CL for TP is based on ride wait times, it's often lower than it "feels" like.

1:48pm by utang44

There used to be a chart that lists CL corresponding to wait times. Anyone know what I am talking about? I am always surprised when I see wait times for say...FEA at 80 minutes when CL is a 1 or a 2. Bet the parks feel pretty empty. It is every bit as ...

2:55pm by h2olly

as hot here in central Arkansas (maybe hotter) than Orlando, so wish I were there!

2:56pm by h2olly

I was starting to stress about LL on Sunday at MK and it being worse than yesterday when I was checking wait times (all that was based on the times available for LL) but now you've got me optimistic - however the weather looks blah next weekend

Major heat advisory for today also so crowds may have thinned out this afternoon

Here's the one for Epcot, @h: https://c.touringplans.com/epcot/crowd-levels

It's what I looked at earlier when I posted in this thread.

NDR: After my collision with a deer last week, my car has been totaled, and I'm having trouble finding a new car as replacement. I start paying for a rental tomorrow. Any suggestions on finding a rental for a longer timeframe ? Not near a major airport

If you are a member of Costco, they are almost always the cheapest for us.

3:28pm on 7/26/26 by matterhorn55

Yes, checked Costco first but same rate as our local Enterprise. I've on my 4th rental this week because of problems with rentals!

3:33pm on 7/26/26 by snowdiz

Not to pry but curious. What kind of trouble?

3:33pm on 7/26/26 by MOJoe

not widely available but if you are in a market with Flexcar, its useful for longer term rentals. https://www.flexcar.com/

3:34pm on 7/26/26 by thrasher543

I used Turo when I bought a new car to try out lots of different options. Not sure how that works if you're doing insurance reimbursement though.

3:38pm on 7/26/26 by mary32830

Some Subaru dealerships do rentals of their service loaners to anyone.

4:05pm on 7/26/26 by touringmom

That's nice when my car was totaled my insurance company gave me 5 days. I got a cheap high mileage car mine came form Subaru but im not brand picky. I did want a 4 wheel drive

4:09pm on 7/26/26 by WorldTraveler34

U.K. may be different but we had a rental thru insurance when ds18 car was written iff(not his fault!). It only gave me 10 days free after accepting insurance settlement but I was able to keep paying for it until new lease car arrived. Harder as only 18

4:21pm on 7/26/26 by hodg

My insurance gave 72 hours of rental car after declaring the car totaled. (Progressive). @MOJoe, one car was too small, one got nail in tire and tire had to be ordered, yesterday "Check Engine" light came on, now given Hyundai Kona until tomorrow.

4:42pm on 7/26/26 by snowdiz

Our local Toyota dealerships offer long term loans with unlimited miles. We are in south central PA

I have a slightly used/damaged scooter you can borrow.

9:45pm on 7/26/26 by trishr.

@snow my insurance was 30 days @35/d but after I accepted settlement (day7) I had another 7 days at their expense. Liberty Mutual and Enterprise let me keep rental at same rate but billed to me instead of LM. Does yours have that option? ...

10:17pm on 7/26/26 by Magicalday2011

...https://carrentalsavers.com/. This was posted here a few months ago. Maybe check it out for your area. I'm sorry for your stress. I get it! Sunroof open in rainstorm overnight also totals your car. Maybe steer away from sunroofs

Was the deer ok?

7:35am by Fatty McButterpants

Pretty sure she said no.

8:53am by hodg

@ Trish hahaha!! Sorry for the stress @snowdiz. But thankful you are ok.

9:20am by jenc45

@snowdiz, some rental companies (hertz and enterprise) , will allow you to stay in same rental at the insurance company (lower) negotiated rate if you need to as long as agree to pay. Sometimes they will do it if you ask / explain, or sometimes ins co

9:41am by RememberTheMagic

will need to call and advise you need the rental longer. The ins co I worked for , we would do it ALL the time for our insureds. The rental companies are ones we have contracts with and usually not a problem at all for them.

9:44am by RememberTheMagic

I love https://carrentalsavers.com/ and costcotravel.com

But my favorite is my corporate National account. it is always cheapest and I mostly pick any car I want with the emerald club.

Update: I have been told I can keep my current rental car at the same rate Progressive was paying. I've booked it for the week so far, but it's doubtful I will have a new vehicle before then. I am a FL resident with car titled there but accident in WI.

I don't know about WI but in St Louis people can drive for years with temp tags ;-)

I see people asking about Guardians, trying to get a gauge on if they will like it or now. This won't help everyone, but if you have ever been to Hersheypark and ridden laugh track, I think it's like a more intense and amazing version but a similar style.

We also love the Drury Plaza DS with the MSAVER rate. The free dinner and drinks are a huge bonus.

We have stayed at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista several times. Easy walk to DS. The tower rooms are the best.

2:02pm by MOJoe

Best way to "link" two reservations of similar room types so we (hopefully) don't have to change rooms during trip. Rented points for two BWV stays: 8/7-8/8, 8/9-8/12. Chat online, or call, or wait to front desk check-in? Success stories or advice welcome

No day between reservations - night 8/7-8/8, 8/9-8/12 (so really all days between8/7-8/13) Thanks all for replies!!

I was thinking the same @PT, o didn't see what was connecting 8/8 to 8/9
