"What's cookin'?" My son and DIL are having an open house today for the beginning of the sale of their house. So we have them, the 3 grands and their golden doodle over for dinner tonight. I'm making homemade pizza 3 ways; traditional cheese, a pepperoni

7:08pm by molly99

I always thought it was at the end and I always had the worst double chin zoned out photo. Finally learned where it was so at least I can smile

8:20pm by Gusgus5

This information is life changing! My DW and I have been wondering about this! every time we see HM photo we are so disappointed about where we are looking and we often look like we are trying to be an additional happy haunt with a lost look on our face:)

10:08pm by IMarriedMyEllie

I can park at AoA if not staying there, right?

9:14pm by Flutegarden

It can be hard to park at skyliner resorts without being a hotel guest.

9:28pm by TumbleMonkeys

If you are visiting a guest staying there, then you can park otherwise they are pretty strict and will probably deny you.

9:44pm by vickiwaffles

If anyone unregistered could drive into SL lots, no one would pay to park at HS or Epcot.

9:58pm by Ali Ababwa

Favorite lunch food at epcot?

If there's a Festival happening we like snacking around the food booths for lunch.

7:47am by pod4christ

Agree with the food booths! Les Halles is routinely one of the highest ranked QS locations anywhere in WDW. I also think Connections is pretty good, and we really enjoy La Cantina's cheese empanadas.

8:29am by JERancher

Booths

9:11am by WorldTraveler34

Early lunch, Les Halles. Late lunch, Yorkshire Fish.

9:24am by MOJoe

If no festival Regal Eagle brisket sandwich on garlic toast and Yorkshire Co

9:39am by ls2000

Les Halles.......

9:49am by jbreen25

Consistently good are La Cantina, Sommerfest, Regal Eagle, Les Halle & Yorkshire. Personal fav is sharing apps and iced mint tea @Spice Road Table.

11:48am by CinderNellie

Sunshine seasons or Connections

12:05pm by LaurenInWonderland

I'm from Austin, TX so brisket is sacred. And the brisket sandwich at Regal Eagle was surprisingly decent.

12:12pm by cobia

@cobia I cannot get over how cheap the brisket is in Texas!! In MO it's 3X more a pound. Even at Costco. I'm always tempted to bring some home when we visit family.

12:20pm by sunshinedaydream

This is kind of weird, but I really like the pizza at Connections Cafe.

12:21pm by JillyBelle

I don't think that's weird! That pizza is yummy.

12:30pm by utang44

We love sitting by the water at la cantina. Usually share nachos and churros.

12:42pm by sragne

We like grabbing food at La Cantina, and taking it inside to eat.

We're travelling over from the UK and will be here for the 4th July. Will there be any special events on at Disney? We're wondering if everything will be packed or empty.

@world- tbh, I think that's a maybe. WDW has put out more insane summer discounts than they have in a decade or more (per Len on the Dish a week or two ago). As a TA, I can share that reservations look very soft for the summer. The 250th may...

3:44pm by JERancher

...actually mean the opposite, that folks spend the holiday elsewhere. All that said, it is on a weekend, so maybe you're right. Guess we'll see!

3:45pm by JERancher

We were just talking this weekend about what we want to do for the 250th and we concluded we are staying close to home to avoid crowds and traffic and parking lots. Fear of hassle outweighs fomo for us.

We have an annual Allianz policy that I have been happy with.

7:39pm by melcort10

Have consistently used allianz and twice needed to submit claim - both were pretty straightforward & received amount expected

9:33pm by 56arlene

I do have an annual policy thru Allianz. I had a hard time with a claim. It was impossible to get a human. Everything had to be processed online. Hard to understand what they wanted other than proof I had sent. I got some $ back and then gave up.

9:42pm by evamarie320

After 30 trips to WDW, we will be going to Disneyland for the first time. What are some unique or don't miss things to see and do there?

2:39pm on 4/19/26 by anneofcreek

We went in February for the first time and thought Space Mountain was way better! Also really enjoyed lunch at Lamplight Lounge

3:55pm on 4/19/26 by RigbyC

Haven't been to DLR in years, but a special memory was having a mint julep with my DH in New Orleans square

3:56pm on 4/19/26 by disneymama3

DL is special. You can tell it's older. Pirates is so cool. Not sure when you are going, but they have great tours. They just do them so well out there. My favorite I've done was a Christmas tour. I like walking through downtown disney to parks.

4:11pm on 4/19/26 by momma4fun

I'm glad to hear the tours are special. We leave in three weeks for our Adventures by Disney vacation to Southern California and Disneyland. There are several tours on the schedule, including Walt's apartment and meeting with an Imagineer. Free time too.

4:35pm on 4/19/26 by anneofcreek

I hope you have an amazing trip! Ride all the rides! Pirates is awesome and there are many Fantasyland rides that are not at WDW. Are you planning to go to California Adventure? Radiator Springs Racers is one of my all time favorites!

4:48pm on 4/19/26 by T07

Please report back on your trip!

5:17pm on 4/19/26 by momma4fun

Paint the night- so good And we've not seen WoC as it was broken when we went- hoping to see that this year. F! also very unique there- hadn't planned to go but loved it

6:39pm on 4/19/26 by hodg

And the guardians take on ToT is such fun

6:39pm on 4/19/26 by hodg

I really like the WOC dessert party but its $$$$

6:56pm on 4/19/26 by Totsypooh

The nighttime shows are great. We did each one once. WoC was my favorite. I don't know if they still do something special at It's a Small World at night, but we enjoyed that too because it was less crowded. So many fun rides & things to do - enjoy!

10:15pm on 4/19/26 by Ange425

Hi @totsy! I actually just booked that for our trip today, so glad to hear your recommendation!

10:49pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

Hi @anne- I'm in a similar boat (taking my whole family soon), but I've been once before. I had fun prioritizing the rides that DL has that aren't at WDW, and the rides that DL does differently (bec DL's are often better). For me, that list is:

10:52pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

DL: Indy, Big Thunder, HM (esp if holiday version), IASW, Matterhorn, Space Mt, all the dark rides in FL (minus PPF unless there's time), Storyland Canal Boats, Roger Rabbit, Finding Nemo, and Pirates. DCA: Incredicoaster, Soarin (if over CA), all of...

10:56pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

...Carsland, Grizzly River Run, Pixar Pal-Around, Webslingers and the shows in Avenger's Campus. When I was planning this trip, I asked a similar question over on the DL side of Lines, and they highly recommended Paint the Night, Wondrous Journeys, Wo...

10:58pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

....World of Color (which I've seen a diff version of, and it's awesome!), the 70th cavalcade, and Tapestry of Happiness on IaSW. A few also recommended the 70th tour. Hope this helps!

11:00pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

Oh, one more thought. I love Disney history, so I had fun looking for the little unique things at DL: the mismatched light bulb, the little man of DL, Wendy and Peter's initials in the tree, the brick wall, Jingles the horse... These things light me up!

11:06pm on 4/19/26 by JERancher

Just 7 days until my Disneyland trip. Join the Disneyland chat. They aren't as quick to respond as here. I got a lot of great advice. Since there's no real benefit to staying onsite I'm not. Going for the 70th and for Star Wars night :) so excited

11:29pm on 4/19/26 by WorldTraveler34

If you go to Pixar place hotel you can rent a car and return it lax for no extra charge. All but candy cane charge for parking. Eva and wallie meet in the lobby on Wednesdays in April for earth day

11:31pm on 4/19/26 by WorldTraveler34

^Agree with @world re: offsite hotels. I tend to stay at the Park Vue Inn, which is zero frills. But it's clean, across the street (closer to DCA than even the DL Hotel), and they don't charge for th parking either.

7:30am on 4/20/26 by JERancher

DL is a lot of fun. Much more manageable. Parks are right next to each other. Downtown area is fun - we did dinner there on our arrival day. The rides that are also at WDW are often better at DL but IMO DL doesn't have the likes of SDD, GotG, FoP, Tron.

2:09pm on 4/20/26 by ma14

I don't love the LL system without letting you book beforehand. But they have very regular LL drops which helped us a ton.

2:10pm on 4/20/26 by ma14

Agree with all of the above. We stay at grand legacy. Quick and safe walk.

Please report, @WT34! I'm considering taking a week out there next winter instead of the Pop stay that I have on the books.

3:11pm on 4/21/26 by Ali Ababwa

Indiana Jones, Carsland, and Mr Toad!

5:15pm on 4/21/26 by moondance07

SFL. We're hoping to go next year. My mum said forget DL and stick with WDW, but we want to visit DL!

6:01pm on 4/21/26 by ejhnstn

We always have to eat at the Blue Bayou since it's inside POTC

6:58pm on 4/21/26 by AgentCarter

Indy, pirates, and Mr. Toads for sure!

7:25pm on 4/21/26 by cobia

Pirates has always been my favorite. I grew up at DL

7:34pm on 4/21/26 by cobia

I'm going this summer- first time. Great lists!

9:00pm on 4/21/26 by Figment20

Mr Toad! Do the castle walk through with the story of Sleeping Beauty. Also look closely & up for the window that the Evil Queen is watching from.

9:31pm on 4/21/26 by el_1102

I loved the canal boats and the canoes! The Spider-Man show. Walking through Grizzly Peak. Guardians and Radiator Springs Racers rides. Incredicoaster.

9:36pm on 4/21/26 by TumbleMonkeys

The Disney Gallery is fun to check out. It's just after the right side entrance at DL park. Also agree with WOC dessert party, ask for a high top table for a good view. Sorcerer's workshop in the animation building and Redwood creek challenge trail at DCA

11:17pm on 4/21/26 by WildernessPixie

Fantasyland especially is so packed with attractions, you get off one and the queue for the next is just a couple of steps away. No wasted space.

7:49am on 4/22/26 by irenek

I am here now for the first time. Downtown Disney is underwhelming compared to Disney springs. Fantasy land gets incredibly packed- there is no space, but ride lines move quickly. Iconic rides are better here than WDW. Not impressed at all with food here.

11:16am on 4/22/26 by Jsanta26

There isn't many indoor shows to filter crowds out, so nowhere to escape for a few quiet moments. Cast members are a little more scarce and less likely to interact. Being able to walk between parks is awesome. Cars land is amazing, GoTG is awesome.

11:18am on 4/22/26 by Jsanta26

Go to the theatre where the Lincoln show is. Lots of Disney history! Paint the night is awesome. I personally like space mountain at WDW better ;)

11:20am on 4/22/26 by Jsanta26

We did our first trip to DL/DCA last year and loved it! DS6 did Mr Toad over and over. Radiator springs is incredible. I loved the live entertainment and the chill vibe of the whole place. It was relaxing! In three days we did everything we wanted to.

In Cars Land right after sunset the Sh-Boom song starts playing and the neon signs light up for the night, like in the movie. There was a dance party in the street when we were there. Stand by the Cozy Cone or Flo's. Check a weather app for sunset times.

6:26pm by sunshinedaydream

Theres a matterhorn coconut macaroon and churro toffee that is fantastic. Also the quickserves - flos and pyms. Awesome themeing.

8:54pm by Totsypooh

We're going on Nov.25-28. Any tips? I've heard mixed ideas about going around Thanksgiving. We usually go over spring break so is this going to be that much worse? Where should we go on Thanksgiving itself? Staying at Wilderness Lodge...

6:42pm by wislp

WL will be magical!

6:59pm by PrincipalTinker

Perfect resort for the holidays! It's stunning. I would compare that time to peak spring break crowds. Definitely not Xmas-NYE crowds level.

Thanksgiving and Easter are my fav to be at disney. Go with the flow. Did it every year until 2022 since 2011

Have LL single pass for Tron today at 1pm. Last minute change in plans has us arriving at MK around 5pm. No ability to reschedule to a later time or ride. Tried Disney chat, no luck in getting it changed. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Is there a trick to using a gift card for WAT? I did a "trial run" and don't see an option for entering a gift card, and want to be able to book at midnight instead of calling the next morning. Thanks!

5:05pm by daisylover78

I see the same thing you do. I think when I booked KTTK a few years ago I booked it with a credit card then called in the morning. They canceled and refunded my credit card and then rebooked it with my gift card.

5:22pm by utang44

I had to call to use my gift card for WAT

Agree with buy at midnight then call to have them cancel/rebook with your gift card.
