I have an ADR for Topolino's breakfast. Eek on $54 price tag because of the one entree, but I've read posts how everyone walks away full. For ex-the 2 eggs, bacon, etc. Are these like jumbo eggs & 50 slices of bacon (lol)? Please talk me into going! :)

I love the waffle and order side of bacon and eggs

Ate there last week w DS21 who is a bottomless eating pit. He had the avacado toast w Mickey waffles and couldn't finish. Portions are large. We had pastry to take home. It was delicious and great fun and plenty of food.

The steak and eggs was great. It's really presented nicely. My DD15 had just a waffle and was hungry in 2 hours. She still won't eat eggs, not sure what that's about.

I used TP for a Feb trip and the crowd calendar predictions were way off. I love the app for the other features but I'm not confident in the crowd calendar. We're going back in May and other calendars contradict TP. Any insights from long time users?
28 min ago by
I think a big part of why TP and other crowd calendars often disagree is that TP CLs are based on ride wait time, not how crowded the park might feel.

I pay zero attention to crowd levels. It's not helpful and doesn't really matter. My trip is when it is so I plan for busy always. Apart from staying away during Mardi Gras and Jersey week I go when I go.
13 min ago by
I am pretty much stuck with certain dates but I always look at last years calendar for the same week for actual crowds to compare.

Howdy Liner Pals! TSA and Clear are closed at MCO. Got through security in 50 minutes. Pack your patent pants:)
9:00pm on 3/21/26 by
I didn't see anybody need to take their shoes off. We didn't need to. Really, if you arrive three hours early, you will be fine. We do that even with clear and pre-check.

@Jenny, we saw a ton of people sprinting off your flight:) Sorry I missed you!

@jesster, I saw on Twitter everyone was allowed to pretend they were Precheck to make things faster. Although TSA never follows the same rules so may have changed by now.

I'm trying to modify my pre-booked LL on 3/30 to MFSR which shows available at 11:30am, but when I click on it, it says "Could not secure this experience" - what does that mean?
8:42am by
Might be a few reasons. Do you have another tier 1 already booked?
8:45am by
Ohhh is MFSR a tier 1? That is the issue. I'm a dumb dumb.
58 min ago by
@disney, you aren't dumb. It's ridiculously complicated. I would never have thought that's a tier one and I live this stuff.

Hello! Is the week of April 13 still very crowded? I am planning an unexpected trip and those are the dates that work best for me, but I could probably start the trip later that week. If I don't go then I would need to wait until January 2027. TIA

I don't think that only Massachusetts on vacation moves the needle as much as some other breaks.
9:04am by
@melcort, not all of NE but MA, RI, ME, VT. I started traveling April vacation in 2005. It is busier when NY's vacation aligns but it has never been very slow, at best "average"? It is usually more expensive to fly than Feb break.

Hmmmm as a family we already celebrate Texas Independence Day. We should celebrate Patriots day too.

259 days. Good morning Liner friends! We are rope dropping the German Club this morning with three of the four grand children to visit with the Easter bunny! There will be a balloon as well as a temporary tattoo artist, free lunch for the kids and

Too sluggish to RD today after awakening at 1:45am yesterday for our 5am flight, so going to AK soon, taking advantage of their "late" 8pm closing time today. Congrats, good luck and have a great day to everyone today.

I just read there was a media preview for Buzz lightyear. How long after media previews do rides typically reopen to the public? I have a trip mid-April and really hope it's open then.

Buzz opens 4/8/26

We're contemplating doing a fireworks cruuse in the summer. Would you do MK or EP? We don't really know anything about them so any info and tips would definitely help.
8:45am by
I can give you my review at the end of April! I had to change dates at around 50 days and it wasn't the hard.

What I like about MK cruise: all the WDW info and interesting facts as you tour Bay Lake and Seven Seas lagoon. Dont like how the boats have to rev engines and constantly go forward and back to hold floating position during FW. Distracting to me.
44 min ago by
What I like about EP cruise is that it ties up to the France Bridge to watch FW, so no moving around. The waterway tour to HS and back is somewhat boring.
42 min ago by
However, I am not a fan of the current EP show, so I wpuld totally do MK again. But one caution is that in hot summer with storms, the FW cruises are sometimes cancelled. On July 3rd, we saw all boats go out then race back in. Cruise cancelled.

Curious about Memorial Day. I'm new to touring plans. It seems counterintuitive that MK would be so low on the crowd calendar on a big holiday. Any particular reason?
9:07am by
MK often has lower crowds than you'd expect on holidays outside the actual holiday season. Likely at least partially because people expect it will be busy and opt for other parks or activities.
