Today must end a session of the DCP. We had three different experiences of watching cast members celebrating their DCP co-workers including the last ride of soarin' for three of them-all claps and tears. This was so sweet <3

Ok. So everyone has finally arrived and we are staying in the beautiful new Poly Tower. But... the storage space compared with other one bedrooms and even studios at other properties seems to be missing here. Am I missing something?

10:26pm on 8/4/26 by jlckilduff

No there is less storage space. Not sure what the tradeoff was but I do love that place.

That was my complaint for the living room area of BLT studios. Normal storage in the bedroom. But we had to use the laundry for our clothes. Maybe that's what they mean you to do

What's a sentence you would say on lines that would make absolutely NO sense in the "real world". This was inspired by @cdlla's lightsaber questions yesterday and @Utang's answer "Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities sells standalone crystals."

Just got an email about lobby construction at Kidani during our stay... :-( boo

That is such a bummer. Is the gift shop expected to be closed? The gift shop and the pool bar are the only place to refill drinks at Kidani, correct?

2:13pm by lizshiv

The lobby is being worked on in sections https://blogmickey.com/2026/07/kidani-village-lobby-closing-part-of-multi-phase-refurbishment-this-summer-fall/

24 min ago by KLuck

Yeah, it's not super clear what exactly will be closed when. The email said the lobby and entrance area so I'm hoping the gift shop will still be open but the gift shop is right there so not sure.

New to the app and plan subscription- Where in the app do I find park attendance for October?

2:23pm by Dennis26231580

Hey @Dennis! Welcome to chat!! If you're referring to the Crowd Calendar- you can access it by clicking the home button (little house) and then scrolling down to "Walt Disney World Resort Crowd Calendar"

2:27pm by lizshiv

Welcome to chat! You've got a great answer above. But just fyi, we are other TP users like you. We can often share our experience with the app and trip planning. But if you want to contact customer service staff, go to Home page or app and scroll down to

Early entry at Space Mtn. Is it really always down? We're 3 for 3 with it being down. Really frustrating when you wake up this early on vacation for that goal!

And we just rope dropped Tiana and the ride is down yet they let us enter the line so now we're kind of stuck here. Very frustrating morning.

9:13am by jolavi

@jolqvi...we did the same as you! We did buzz them Tiana's at rope drop. Tron did let people in at 8:21 to ride as an FYI...we sadly chose wrong

I've never had a problem with SM at RD but maybe that's just luck.

Is Rider swap available during After Hours events? We're taking DS5 in a couple weeks and he's tall enough for everything except RNRC.

10:34am by HalfBludPrincess

Yes I believe it's always available.

12:20pm by evamarie320

We had CM at front of mine train tell us it wasn't available during RD/EE recently, but that may have been a fluke. This is another good example of a sentence that would make no sense outside of Lines.

Good morning! I was able to snag 4 nights in a boardwalk studio right after Labor Day. Never stayed there before. Any recommendations?

8:26am on 8/4/26 by skemp

No recommendations but such a fantastic location. Everything is easy. Enjoy.

8:34am on 8/4/26 by Jennyhirsch

I've found the pools to be pretty chill compared to other resorts. The pool bar is good as well. We like BWV for the location not so much for the dining options.

8:36am on 8/4/26 by KLuck

Have a drink at Abracadabar. It's one of the more adult focused lounges on property. I wouldn't bring kids

8:47am on 8/4/26 by evamarie320

Thanks! We have a deluxe studio, garden or pool view.. will I be on the Inn side or the DVC side?

8:51am on 8/4/26 by skemp

Studio means DVC

8:58am on 8/4/26 by KLuck

Some pool views are fantastic for views of HS. I love pool view in a studio. Just don't request a top floor. Some of those have a weird knee wall blocking your view when seated. I love have lots of options for dinner along the boardwalk.

9:22am on 8/4/26 by youcanfly

The QS dining is poor at BWV, but there are options at Swolphin and YC/BC, plus the Skyliner. Feature pool can also get crowded. Can't beat walking to two parks though!

9:24am on 8/4/26 by allanadale

Breakfast at Les Halles every day! My kids say its the best pool slide in all of WDW. And they actually have tried them all.

9:45am on 8/4/26 by Totsypooh

I've tried all the slides. Yes, BW has the best, even when it was the scary clown.

10:57am on 8/4/26 by Jennyhirsch

Forgot you are near the Dolphin. We love Rosa Mexicana. Decently priced for WDW, good drinks and normal food portions. It is a favorite of ours.

10:58am on 8/4/26 by Jennyhirsch

@totsy is correct on water slide. We prefer room near the elevators because there is only one set and the hallways are LONG. Lobby on 2nd floor so some 1st floor rooms have a "basementy" feel to them.

10:59am on 8/4/26 by Phil H. Magic

You're paying a premium for boardwalk location so aim to enjoy all that it offers. Evening entertainment on boardwalk, walking to parks, boat rides, fun pool (but waterslide < AKL Kidani), great TS dining, lovely outdoor seating throughout the property.

11:26am on 8/4/26 by SecondFavoriteDuck

There are so many fining options in the area! Don't miss the Swan/Dolphin restaurants (download the app). I agree, don't miss the night time boardwalk activities.

12:31pm on 8/4/26 by PrincipalTinker

My husband loves that slide lol

8:31pm on 8/4/26 by ejhnstn

@PT, I need to know: Is "fining" a combo of "fine" and "dining"?

9:06pm on 8/4/26 by utang44

Great tips! Looking forward to trying trattoria and flying fish. Rosa Mexicana sounds good too! It will also be F&W fest. Ep is my favorite park and I've never stayed in walking distance :)

9:34pm on 8/4/26 by skemp

BW rocks for any festival!

10:29pm on 8/4/26 by KLuck

And Kimonos at Swan if you like sushi.

12:40am by Beautiesandtheb

It's a slippery slope... once you have experienced walking to 2 Parks.

8:34am by Magicalday2011

At BWV, find where the nearest staircase is and use it to enter/exit the resort, if possible. Use the main pool "cut through". Both will save time/steps. @utang, I swear I checked the post before I hit submit the 2nd time, I hate my phone.

9:20am by PrincipalTinker

The funny thing is that I read it as "fine dining," though it was abbreviated!

I should have just pretended that was what I typed!

9:40am by PrincipalTinker

I now plan to adopt "fining" into my Lines vocabulary. Saves on character count!

9:42am by aliceinwonderla

Steak in the flying fish, drink in a Abracadabar and a slice of pizza for me and a Mexican corn dog for my DH.

1:57pm by shopaholicjane

So since Mama Melrose is closed, I am wondering where the next best place for the plain buttered noodle and garlic bread crowd in my family can go? Is there anywhere is HS? Or just to Boardwalk or one of the hotels nearby?

12:40pm on 8/4/26 by jlckilduff

At Catalina Eddies

10:30am by jlckilduff

Top ARFID-Friendly Dining at WDW: Garden Grill (EPCOT), Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater (Hollywood Studios), Liberty Tree Tavern (Magic Kingdom), Be Our Guest (Magic Kingdom), Connections Eatery (EPCOT)

11:54am by Ali Ababwa

I have no idea where Catalina Eddies is and will have to look for it. Glad you got something. I had a DS who only ate buttered noodles and bread for years. I feel your pain!

1:53pm by Jennyhirsch

Let's do it. Schenkel time. 1) Going to WDW and *then* UOR, not the other way 'round. Fit the schedule and DVC availability better, but we will see how this goes. Going from AKL to Surfside will be a shock, I know!

Thanks all! 4) Posted on Lines Chat from the air! 5) Experienced Southwest's 'new' boarding and seating policies. All worked well, and DW won the lottery and ended up with row 2(!) at no extra charge. We let DD and DS sit there and are jealous from row 18

9:48am by allanadale

6) Got our rental car from Hertz! The app is crap, but the process of picking up our car was nice and smooth. Really like the car so far too.

1:13pm by allanadale

This is hilarious! Love starting a shenkel from home!
