Do you have experience with staying in the Gran Destino tower at Coronado? I'm wondering if we need to have a car or if we can make do with Disney transportation. Any recent experience?

No, you don't need a car IMO. The busses work just fine.

4:43pm on 1/28/26 by BlastThatPeterPan

Buses work just fine for Gran Destino. I always fly and I've never had my own car at Disney. We've always relied exclusively on Disney transportation.

5:01pm on 1/28/26 by JenniferB1975

Thanks! Good to hear your experience.

5:11pm on 1/28/26 by jkowens

The only time it really helps to have a car is when traveling to a different resort. Uber is available but cabs are virtually nonexistent.

6:07pm on 1/28/26 by MOJoe

I just checked out today. Buses were amazing. We never waited more than 10 minutes. We love staying in the tower. Never need a car to get around.

9:49pm on 1/28/26 by TheBings

So many buses so often! This is one of the places I spend my own money! (Not just Len's)

Earlier thread has me worried about noise in the tower now. Super light sleeper, freaking out! I was sooo excited for my first tower stay...

3:43am on 1/29/26 by amywdw

@amy, as you can see not all of us had that experience. Lots of people love it and don't find it too noisy.

7:47am on 1/29/26 by popupcamper

I haven't noticed noise in Tower but we started packing a loud fan a decade ago and it is a game changer. I did notice noise to an extreme degree at Swan Reserve. Also, Casitas rooms are also my favorite, @amy. Similar to POFQ, imo.

7:48am on 1/29/26 by Jennyhirsch

I'm glad to hear it hasn't been loud for everyone! My request has already been faxed, but now I am wishing I had simply requested a quiet room. We have a king bed resort view.

8:48am on 1/29/26 by amywdw

I always wonder if the room assigners really know which rooms are "quiet rooms". Do they have that kind of knowledge?

1:07pm on 1/29/26 by JenniferB1975

They may just use rooms far from elevators as "quiet rooms"

I always specify far from elevators, stairwells, and housekeeping offices. I like the end of a hallway so fewer people are walking by my door.

5:08pm on 1/29/26 by evamarie320

Assigners can probably see which rooms are occupied and type of guests. Baby, teens etc If you have a few weeks before trip I think you can edit and have resent

6:14pm on 1/29/26 by Magicalday2011

I resent! The rooms we want are at the ends of hallways and are also categorized by TP as quiet, so hopefully the room assigners agree!

Booked a throwaway LL for Frozen show at HS for 9:05am. Party of 3. Could 2 of us go there and "tap in" the 3 of us, while the 3rd person waits in line for Slinky Dog? We have 1 person using magic band and 2 people using Disney app for LLs.

9:35am on 1/28/26 by kxb186

Should mention that we don't have EE. We're staying offsite.

9:40am on 1/28/26 by kxb186

I don't suggest this if the plan is to catch up with the 3rd person at SDD. As someone who has booked a throwaway, we typically all tap together.

9:55am on 1/28/26 by youcanfly

I don't think you would be able to catch up at SDD.

9:57am on 1/28/26 by melcort10

Wouldn't the line already be quite long at SDD, with EE people ahead of us? Also, I have plantar fasciitis so was thinking I could wait at SDD while the rest of group taps in (trying to save my feet a bit).

10:08am on 1/28/26 by kxb186

If the placeholder person is still in the outside line, you will get looka and grumbles from people who have been waiting. Once the person is on the "inside " portion, they will not be able to cut the line

10:14am on 1/28/26 by Elaine5715

You can certainly wait near SDD to save some steps, but don't enter the line.

10:18am on 1/28/26 by evamarie320

Maybe use ASS for a throwaway instead?

10:20am on 1/28/26 by melcort10

@elaine, oh I see. I was more worried about whether or not the Disney agent would allow 2 people to tap in for 3 people at Frozen?

10:20am on 1/28/26 by kxb186

Yeah, I tried to get the Alien ride but it wasn't avail until noon.

10:28am on 1/28/26 by kxb186

Keep your party together when entering any attraction queue.

11:16am on 1/28/26 by Ali Ababwa

I don't think two people can tap in for three at Frozen, either. I dont think you'll have a problem all tapping and leaving, though. And I agree that everyone should enter the Slinky line at the same time.

11:21am on 1/28/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Ok thanks everyone!

11:29am on 1/28/26 by kxb186

I just realized the redemption time for Frozen is 9:05-9:20 so it will expire at 9:20 - then I can book a new one without having to tap in! Problem solved. Feet saved!

1:13pm on 1/28/26 by kxb186

I would suggest tapping for anything if the intention of a throwaway is to open tiers. Otherwise I can't think of a reason you would need a throwaway.

1:20pm on 1/28/26 by youcanfly

To save your walking I would recommend sending the 2 then let 1 exit, retrieve your MB, tap it and then your group keeps going. You can wait anywhere but the courtyard is close to FEA and the walkway to the ramp/steps towards TS land. Hope that helps

1:23pm on 1/28/26 by youcanfly

@kxb well you can book another LL when that one expires, it will have to be in the same tier so you can only book another tier 2LL. You have to tap into a ride in order to open up the tiers.

1:24pm on 1/28/26 by JenniferB1975

Ah, I see now. Tapping in is important to open other tiers.

1:38pm on 1/28/26 by kxb186

That's correct.

3:03pm on 1/28/26 by TumbleMonkeys

If you just let frozen expire, you might as well book a tier 2 that you actually want. Also- yes 2 people can tap in 3 bands. The concerning part is if you have 1 person waiting in slinky line and then 2 of you " cut" to catch up . Stuff like that is

4:25pm on 1/29/26 by RileysBirthday

Frowned upon, unless it's obviously a little kid who couldn't hold their bathroom or something

4:25pm on 1/29/26 by RileysBirthday

To answer the original question as intended. Yes... two people can tap three magic bands. We do this all the time with TOT. I can't ride it but it's Mrs Magic and DD's favorite. We book three LL and I give them my band and do something else. No issues.

7:27pm on 1/29/26 by Phil H. Magic

In that case, @phil, why not just book for the two of them? Unless one of them is riding it twice with your band.

8:54pm on 1/29/26 by utang44

People are really complaining on Reddit about people joking the line while someone else waits. Like for SDD will be too long at the point rude something else and don't waste an LL.

5:23am by Flutegarden

It is the "3rd person waits in line" part of your plan that could be an issue. I will be honest, if I was behind you I would not be happy. Your plan could cause strong feelings and conflict. Other guests are all waiting. Why not your group?

Magic Bands aren't transferable. This is just like handing off a magic band to someone out of a queue that doesn't have a 2nd tap so that someone else can use it.

8:41am by Ali Ababwa

@ali, the mb isn't being transferred (moved to a different persons MDE.) it's likely being tapped by someone on the same(or at least linked) MDE

23 min ago by irenek

I read the original post as asking if 1 person can tap 2 different bands at the same time. Frankly, I hope this doesn't become a practice because it would just encourage guests to catch up with their party in another line instead of waiting like others.

We just received an update from @cort, but has anyone heard from @NYGIANT? I've been thinking about her.

Hello @liner friends!! I've been mostly well. I've had good days and bad days. Some personal family and friends passing. I am currently sitting in the infusion chair for the last time! Today is my last chemo. I'll have radiation after a month of healing

I was cleaning out a box this week and found unused fast passes for Big Thunder & Splash Mt. Also some special ones that could be used all day on any attraction at HS. Wish they had some value!

Is it true you can just tap your MB+ 3 times rather than just waving your arm around to get the 50th statues to react? Is this old news?

Why oh WHY would they tell people to swing their arms around rather than "oh, yeah, tap 3x"

Could potentially have added that functionality in a MB update, I would guess.

Can't get the Park tickets to load on husband and daughters phone. We're just going for 2 days so can't see spending $ on bands. Will we all be ok using my phone with all the tickets and passes loaded onto it for LL and park entry? we'll travel together.

If you use your phone bring an external charger.

You can use MagicMobile. Works pretty well

What's the likelihood to get a walk up at Beaches & Cream? Decided to add a cheeky extra day for the kiddos and this would be the cherry on top (pun intended)!!

It's tomorrow! It's the walk-up list usually a doable thing?

9:31pm on 1/29/26 by mhc0813

No idea what your party size is, but checked for curiosity. Lots of lunch options for four today, into the 4 p.m. hour, and some very late dinners.

8:45am by utang44

We've definitely done it a few times(very short wait). We've also booked ADR day of.

With this new rule of no outside vendors, will scooter/wheelchair/medical supply vendors be still allowed to do pick up/drop offs? There are certain things I need for my disability that only certain companies have.

Are there places to stop and eat dinner on the boardwalk? Thinking of getting Trattoria al Forno to go but not sure I can sit down with the fam and eat it there?

7:43am by mhc0813

There are outdoor tables along the water, plus pretty white outdoor tables over by Cake Bake. You could go to the sit on Village Green on fake grass. There are also outdoor chairs & couches up stairs on BWI covered porch. All are outdoor though!

7:51am by Jennyhirsch

That's exactly what we need wanted - perfect!!! Thank you

8:32am by mhc0813

Also lots of other places to get food depending on time of day. At night there's the corn dog stand(I'm actually surprised I like it), pizza window, and bakery.

9:14am by youcanfly

Over by the Beach Club Marketplace there are tables in the halls and around (what I think) are DVC atriums. When we were staying at Swan, we'd walk over to get food and sit there when the heat was oppressive. Nice little enclave. :)
