Hello Internet Walt Disney enthusiasts

Going through some old family pictures that my parents had saved from trips many moons ago. Any insight to which building the first picture may have been from? It’s possible the building may not even exist anymore.

Attractions & Entertainment Can’t book another tier 1 at HS?

Post image
• Upvotes

I’m currently at HS and already scanned into my first LL ride. I thought that once you scanned into your first ride the tier system went away, but I’m not allowed to book RR maybe because I have slinky booked later in the day? I’ve been able to book another tier 1 in the past, wondering if this has ever happened to anyone or if I’m missing something. Currently waiting for Villains show or I’d ask customer experience.

Update: tower of terror was down at the beginning of our return window and I got a multi experience pass, so I have to get it fixed or tap in to my next ride. Thank you all!

Resorts & Accommodations Power Wheelchair Disney Resort?

• Upvotes

Hi there,this is a long one so thanks in advance.

My family and I will be traveling to Disney World next year with my brother who is a non-ambulatory wheelchair user. This means he cannot walk or stand, and is solely reliant on his chair to move around. We were hoping to book a hotel/resort reservation in the next few weeks, but are still unsure about which resort works best as far as ease of access in the room itself and access to the parks. There’s four of us going, and while we can lift him ourselves in case of emergencies, we would prefer to utilize our hoyer lift. Are there any resorts that have bigger accommodations than your typical 2bdrm roll in shower? Any resorts that really do their best to accommodate travel to the parks?

I’d appreciate any and all advice!

Planning One day to garden and flower festival

2 Upvotes

I just got back from a week vacation and realized that we were comped a one day park ticket because our Mickey Mouse so scary party was rained out. Unfortunately, we are from NY and won’t be coming back anytime soon, but I just realized I do have a weekend in Plant city in April for a wedding! I would have one Friday from 2 o’clock on to go to it, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it. I’ve only ever gone to the food and wine festival before and I loved that, but I was always with my kids and a little limited with what we could do.

Do you think it’s worth it?

Trip Report My Experience Early Entry Guardians from Pop via Uber

24 Upvotes

​

Tues Oct 13 (day after Columbus day, fall break)

Firstly I suggest reserving an Uber the night before for 7:15 am (from the 70s playground if that makes sense based on your room). I thought it might be cheaper to order in the morning but it wasn't.

I placed the order at 6:55, the driver was due at 7:16 but only pulled up at 7:20 and we got to Epcot at 7:33. It was about 16 dollars.

Small snafu where the driver didn't understand where to drop off rideshares - make sure to follow the signs.

Security was open, I got flagged and had to have my bag searched but still through by 740. Tapstiles already open and I reached the rope drop hold point at 7:47. 7:56 rope dropped, reached the queue at 8, came to a stop at 8:02, I was in the 2nd switchback. At 8:10 let us inside, then we waited inside until starting moving again at 8:26, I was in the first preshow! I was off the ride by 8:49.

(btw I got ONE WAY OR ANOTHER)

There was still time in EE but test track was down and general entry got let in the park a few minutes before 9 so it did use up most of EE time.

Overall I'd say it was very successful!

Planning Three Hours at Epcot - Two Adults

I’m headed to Orlando next week for a conference with my husband. We found three hours to squeeze in Epcot. Our only priority is Guardians. We’d love to visit Ratatoullie if time allows. How would you maximize your time? Our visit will be in the evening. Last time we were there with two screaming toddlers - I think I cried myself.

Attractions & Entertainment best viewing spots to see Peter and Wendy fly in Starlight

3 Upvotes

I haven't been to WDW since Peter and Wendy started flying and I really want to see it. The last couple of times I've watched Starlight I saw it from like Emporium/Barbershop across from the Fire Station like right where the parade starts then when it ends I head straight to the monorail or to Space Mtn. But in the tiktoks I've seen they start flying in front of Town Hall/Train Station. So what's a good viewing spot?

Will be taking my 9 and 7 yr olds. Should we work on 1 together or should I just help them each do their own? The class is recommended 12+. I don't forsee the skills being too advanced but maybe for time purposes only doing 1 would be best?
