If trying to get Beak & Barrel for day 65, do I need to be on right at 6am? Or is 6:30 ok? (Trying to fit in my group run first lol)

I would but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Probably depends on your party size and what time of day you want. If you don't care, I'm sure 6:30 is fine. I got 8 people at 2pm well under 60 days.

I would be online when the window opens. You won't be disappointed! It was super cute inside.

Favorite way to get to WDW from Orlando airport for a family of 7 with luggage and we want to all go in one vehicle.

Gearfusion.

Agreed. They meet you at the luggage and take you to their private exit. We really like GearFusion.

Sometimes renting a vehicle might cost less for that many people. Depends on how long you're staying. Plus this way you can go to the grocery store for snacks!

"What's cookin'?" Sunday family dinner edition: Grilling beef sliders and hot dogs, DW made broccoli salad and is roasting potatoes & onions, plus some roasted broccoli for the grands. She also made Chocolate chip cookies for our dessert.

We made sammies with Sam's chicken salad. It is very good. We will have mixed frozen fruit and pound cake for dessert.

Standby Skipper question from friend. Im no help bc Joel's the man and never needed it. Friend added them as guest and everyone shows up but herself. Any advice?

6:35pm by lorilcleveland

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but this will be fine if they check in at the podium and provide the name and actual number of people who are there.

July 5 MK is scheduled to have the Disney Celebrates America fireworks. My TP will not show the special fireworks it came up as an error .Did Disney change their mind or did TP not put the extra night in the option while creating my touring plan ? Thanks

I know I'm part of the "over 50 crowd" so maybe I'm noticing these things more, but does anybody else think that the Disney resort bathtubs should have some sort of grab bar for safety? The tubs are usually kind of slippery too.

I'm part of the over 60 crowd and totally agree.

If you asked for a handicapped room they have a bar a shower chair and roll in shower. I didn't request a handicapped room but they gave me one on my last stay.

9:14pm on 4/22/26 by WorldTraveler34

I am, at 60, appreciating the hotels (in and out of Disney) that have walk in showers instead of tubs. Tubs are hard to get in and out of safely.

9:33pm on 4/22/26 by evamarie320

All Stars have old man grab bars.

10:08pm on 4/22/26 by JackOfAll

Agreed. I always bring my own https://amzn.to/4mIeUtD

6:00am on 4/23/26 by pod4christ

I'll have to consider that next time. Thanks @pod!

7:20am on 4/23/26 by monorailsandmagic

@pod, I think I might get those. I am 65 and I too have always requested a walk in shower. I will so miss the TP form. I fell pretty bad in a Universal shower last weekend.

7:35am on 4/23/26 by PrincipalTinker

Oh no! @ PT! Thanks @pod. good idea even at my DD new house. For long trips I travel with old flip flops that I throw away end of trip. Those did save me in one incredibly slick shower. I also throw down hand towel in tub/shower, not foolproof

7:51am on 4/23/26 by Magicalday2011

Sorry to hear @PT that's my nightmare. This CIDP has me pretty unstable.

8:33am on 4/23/26 by pod4christ

I so appreciate the walk-in showers at POFQ, and I'm only 44 and still pretty steady on my feet.

8:35am on 4/23/26 by utang44

I'm team bathtub. I appreciate how POFQ has both. That was my only room request this last trip. How do people with littles bathe them in rooms without tubs?

10:37am on 4/23/26 by popupcamper

Walk in showers are great! We had one installed prior to my latest knee surgery and the handles were just what I needed.

10:59am on 4/23/26 by TacMed

Team Bathtub here as well. I end up pre-dispensing shampoo and body wash into plastic cups so that I can reach them from sitting.

11:11am on 4/23/26 by Ali Ababwa

We actually never use the tub with little ones (it secretly grosses me out), it's easy to just shower them off on their own or in with us

11:25am on 4/23/26 by LaurenInWonderland

I am 60 and DH 65. We installed a walkin shower several years ago. I miss it when at Disney. Last summer I fell in the bathtub at GF on the first night. Ended up taking hand baths the rest of the week. The fall was rough and it simply terrified me.

12:15pm on 4/23/26 by momshappyplace

Another team bathtub. For me and the little ones.

1:43pm on 4/23/26 by FriendsWithTheMonster

Would be nice if this was a bookable category. LOL!

3:36pm on 4/23/26 by popupcamper

Agree @popup. That way everyone can get what they prefer. I noticed some doors propped open at a Marriott recently and saw some had showers and some had tubs. So clearly hotels know that people are split on this. So nice that some are doing both.

3:46pm on 4/23/26 by evamarie320

@pod thanks for the info.! I ordered one for home bathtub & one to keep in purple Owner's Locker for WDW.

@pod Thanks for the info! I assume they are easy to remove at end of trip? We'll be at 2BR Kidani with 80yo DM, giving her main BR so she'll have walk in shower but thought she wouldn't be able to use separate tub. Would these work for getting out of tub?

6:06pm by wdw ocd

Yes, I use these for DM in the Walk in Tub. Easy install and removal. They sell them in Home Depot too.

6:25pm by JackOfAll

Fantastic, thank you!

What is the grace period for ILL at DL?

5:33pm by felesh

I think it is only 5/15. @jeff responded 119 does not work on this thread https://forum.touringplans.com/t/the-lightning-lane-thread-all-dlr-info-here/82656

5:56pm by PrincipalTinker

Above is true but with the tickets on your phone and one person scanning for all, we would easily get 6 people in on 4 ILL's. DLR no one pays attention.

50 min ago by JackOfAll

BTW, We were 60 minutes late to MMRR and they let us in but I asked if we could go through. Know your strengths and who should ask and when.

39 min ago by JackOfAll

plenty of time to plan, not a ton of experience with lightning lane. Have 5 days 8/22-28 5 park days with hopper. 2 days will be mnsshp. Thinking 3 days of lightning lanes, and go to mk on low crowd say? Where to go after mk that might. No party for us.

58 min ago by Crazycatlady3

We went last year around same dates. Crowds are light on MNSSHP dates. We had LL but probably did not need it. Just hit 7D and Tron at EE if possible.

Anyone have any special tips for any of the WDW shows? I saw one about avoiding the first several rows at Fantasmic! if you don't want to get wet and another about shooting for audience-left (stage right) for IJESS. Any other tips (all parks)?

5:27pm by catherine.p.ahern

The front is only true if it is windy. I have sat there a lot without getting wet but when the wind blows toward the seats it sucks.

My ADR window opens up soon. I want to book a reservation for CRT on 7/8. Ideally, I would like to be there during the fireworks. What time should I try to get the reservation for?

2:54pm by gizmolmc

Currently, HEA is at 10pm. I'm guessing that will be similar. I would aim for 9pm. Please know, there is no guarantee you would get a window seat. I think there are only 7 tables at the windows. Also, know that my word isn't gospel.

3:58pm by NYGIANTMickeyFan

Since the CRT windows are at the back of the fireworks show anyway, you could eat earlier. Then you'd exit out the back (no way to get to front of castle easily at fireworks time) and see all of the fireworks from behind and overhead!

5:46pm by Jennyhirsch

Windows are small and you cannot see the fireworks very well in the castle.
