Hi, we're staying at AKL from 26th June to 10th July with park passes for the 2 weeks. We'll be using Lines to plan our days to reduce queuing and will have EEH. I'm wondering if we'll need to purchase LLMP too. What would everyone recommend?

4:08pm on 3/31/26 by Lizzriley@gmail.com

I would suggest you could consider a couple of days? You have an amazing trip planned! I would consider some very early rope drop mornings and some deluxe evening hours if you are comfortable with that alternative.

4:24pm on 3/31/26 by PrincipalTinker

Need? No. But LLs will definitely make things quicker. I agree with @PT. With that long a trip you could probably plan enuf days of RD, EE, and Deluxe EE to avoid LL.

4:38pm on 3/31/26 by evamarie320

Brilliant advice, thanks @PrincipalTinker and @evamarie320

I definitely wouldn't worry about LL with that long of a trip. And if you get there and for whatever reason it's super crowded at the beginning of your stay, you still have time to buy for a day or two at the end of the trip as a treat.

Ladies..considering ordering some Halara shorts for upcoming disney trip. I read mixed reviews but I really like the idea of bike short built in. Anyone have experience with these? Good or bad reviews?

Was gonna recommend my tried and true park shorts that have a liner layer in them, but found they're unavailable on Amazon right now. I have a bunch of them, and they're so comfy. Bought some from another brand last summer and they're pretty good, too.

Here's that second brand in case they appeal: https://a.co/d/03PgDBGh

I will try those Utang! I did see that the one Halara dress I was interested in wasn't going to ship until 4/21 which is halfway through my trip lol.

HS tomorrow. Besides rides what would you do there? Snacks drinks? We will do all of Toy Story and ToT anything else is bonus we went once and did Star Wars MRRR and some shows. But what food and snacks am I missing. Anything new or improved ? Thanks!

The Enchanted Rose at Fairfax Fare on Sunset Blvd. is a fantastic dessert!

7:57am by annecampbell

Any time at Baseline Taphouse is my favorite time at HS.

Don't sleep on the Ronto wraps! They are delish! We are normally table service family but always do Ronto wraps for lunch at HS. So yummy!

Where does the first Starlight parade start at MK? I heard the second starts by Frontierland.

Even if there are people in front, it doesn't matter so much. Those floats are tall!

7:04am by Jennyhirsch

Think this will be a good plan for us

8:17am by hodg

I reread @snowdiz's post and they sat while waiting then stood for parade.

NDR - Is anyone going to the launch this evening? We're at Disney and just found out about it and DH wants to be able to see and hear it but we don't want to get stuck in traffic. Any tips?

7:21am by DisneyDooleys

When we were kids we used to watch the shuttle launches from fort wilderness, but it was really just a streak across the sky. Maybe someone else has advice on a closer view.

8:20am by RememberWhen

If you have a car its totally worth driving to the boat dock at port canaveral/ jetty park to see it. You can feel the ground rumble and the whole sky lights up

57 min ago by Totsypooh

The only down side is launches get scrubbed so often so theres risk it wont actually launch

57 min ago by Totsypooh

Go! Not sure on parking. DS said he parked on mainland side of "the bridge" and everyone was walking over the bridge to view. They were near Dixie Crossroads in Titusville. The launch was scrubbed and they walked there to eat dinner and wait out traffic.

We would like to split epcot and Hs, ending at HS so we can watch Fantasmic. We will rope drop amd enter epcot at the international gateway. How would you divide up the 2 parks. What are your must dos and where should we eat lunch and dinner? No breakfast

8:37pm on 3/24/26 by stosh13

collapse thread

To save time, QS food. French bakery Le Halles before leaving Epcot. Single pass LL Guardians (Ep) and Rise (HS). Can single rider Remy, Test Track. Ep Frozen, Soarin, Spaceship Earth. HS Tower, TSMM, Mickey and Minnie RR. Dinner at Woodys. Fantasmic.

8:50pm on 3/24/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Who is in your group?

9:34pm on 3/24/26 by popupcamper

I would add Beauty and the Beast show at HS, even if no young kids in your party. I really enjoy all the dancing in it. And of course all little kids love the Frozen Sing Along

9:38pm on 3/24/26 by h2olly

Thanks @popupcamper our group is grandma, me and my wife then 4 kids 18,17,14,11.

11:39pm on 3/24/26 by stosh13

HAVE YOU SEEN GRANDMA??

2:16am on 3/25/26 by Fatty McButterpants

If doing LLMP I'd book one or two very early at EPCOT and then stack LLMP for the late afternoon at HS. That way you unlock tiers, make the most of RD at EP and minimize waits at HS.

5:11am on 3/25/26 by shockbl

A reindeer took her out

7:43am on 3/25/26 by Tracyclary

LOL @Fatty that is the hardest I've ever laughed on chat. Thanks for the throwback.

8:08am on 3/25/26 by DisneyDooleys

It was def a horse not a reindeer

8:36am on 3/25/26 by hodg

Nope I think a 'dang ol train '

9:28am on 3/25/26 by burfe1501

Was she walking home from your house Christmas Eve?

9:28am on 3/25/26 by utang44

Maybe a reindeer with horse-like qualities

10:46am on 3/25/26 by cobia

Id eat lunch between EP and HS at Riviera resort QS, Primo Priatto. I adore Les Halles in France though. So if you must eat bc you are starving, then do Les Halles.

11:45am on 3/25/26 by Jennyhirsch

HS is a zoo with rides that often break down. I would also pack Smuckers Uncrustables for dinner and spend the dinner money on LLs at HS. If you aren't getting there till afternoon, it's a zoo.

11:48am on 3/25/26 by Jennyhirsch

Rise has single rider, as does Smug Run. Use that option, if you need to.

11:48am on 3/25/26 by Jennyhirsch

Oh @stosh, you're asking for a lot in one day for those ages. I'm going to assume you have early entry since starting in IG. Eat in the room, RD Remy, buy Single Pass for Guardians, single rider Test Track, then hit Soarin....

1:36pm on 3/25/26 by popupcamper

I'd get my LLMPs for Hollywood Studios as it'll be more important for there. Get single pass for Rise of the resistance. LLMP for slinky, tower of terror and toy story midway mania. I like @Jenny's idea of Primo Piatto for lunch as you switch parks....

1:40pm on 3/25/26 by popupcamper

Dinner is very subjective. My momma loves sci fi, I like 50s prime time and ABC commissary. Grandma might not want to do all of those but the kids probably will and I know my momma is happy to people watch while she waits.

1:42pm on 3/25/26 by popupcamper

Thanks everyone. Probably skipping guardians, tot, and anything too scary or fast. Thinking remeys, test track(for 3 of us), soarin then tanks and nemo then ttwc maybe living with the seas then moana/water waljthrough then over to HS.

3:42pm on 3/25/26 by stosh13

It's a good plan you have there then, @stosh, to stay on the Soarin side of the park in EP (I know you said TT but still better than walking around Mexico half) bc you will be walking a lot, hitting up 2 parks in 1 day!

4:08pm on 3/25/26 by Jennyhirsch

Helpful

11:40am on 3/27/26 by CVC

Make ADR at HS for dinner. There's zero places to eat before F! Especially with a large party. Unless foodcourt food nearby TofT appeals to your group

Can I try and add dining here? I didn't get topolino's or Cinderella's castle

52 min ago by jakahle

Touring Plans no longer offers a reservation finder, but there are several others. Someone will hopefully chime in with a recommendation.

"What's cookin'?" Last evening's dinner was so good we are having it again! What are your dinner plans for this beautiful Monday?

Got me, flight home delayed, certainly nothing close to what we've been eating while in nyc(Carbone, Peter Luger, White Street)

Baked potato soup. The official soup of "I didn't want to go to the grocery store, so here are some pantry staples in soup form."

5:07pm on 3/30/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Reheated pizza and patty melt sandwiches

Colonoscopy prep!

5:24pm on 3/30/26 by MarioMom

Sorry MarioMom; yuck. We're going to have English muffin pizzas and crudite (which is short for raw veggies-I'm out of lettuce).

5:28pm on 3/30/26 by hookiegood

On a one-night trip to my house, so brought some of last night's pasta home with me.

6:52pm on 3/30/26 by utang44

Spinach-arugula-avocado-berry-walnut salad, with a redemption dessert of warm waffle bites with cinnamon bourbon ice crean while we strolled around town on a pleasant late March evening.

Chicken tacos, jalapeno rice and beans.

Leftovers here too. Hamburgers, but with pasta-roni today. Ice cream bars for dessert.

DH grabbed take out - I got Whiskey River salmon and garlic mashed potatoes.

10:54pm on 3/30/26 by njhyndman

Enjoy portofino bay @ snelvis! We're there in just over 3 weeks- but no CL this time.

2:29am on 3/31/26 by hodg

DH birthday. DS32 made meatloaf, garlic mashed and delicious roasted carrots. Pond cake dessert. DH request... we're so old.. circa 1960 dinner. Ha!

We're there 7 nights, 3 of them for my conference- was just too much of a splurge on top of everything else! But we def got our moneys worth last trip there.

Can you rope drop face painting in Ak? I know it's back in Africa. Does anyone know what time it opens?

12:22pm on 3/30/26 by pfrankfa

...view 3 more comments

I'll answer my own question... it opens when the park does! I asked in the chat to get that answer. It worked great... thrill riders did Everest x2 while the rest rope dropped face painting! Then all met up at the safari. Worked great!

4:50pm on 3/31/26 by pfrankfa

Great!

5:36pm on 3/31/26 by evamarie320

What a fun idea at RD.
