Hi! I’m planning on going to Disney world The Weekend of Thanksgiving (27th-30th). I know it’s going to be busy, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice.

My plan so far was to arrive in Orlando at 2:30 And head straight to the hotel.

I would probably spend the day at Disney springs (but I was looking at mickeys Christmas party)

The 28th I’d spend at Magic Kingdom

29th at Hollywood studios

I’m open to any advice or opinions on maybe how to get on the most rides or anything :) thank you!!

Hi, yall. I'm planning an Orlando Vacation. I need some help with being realistic with my itinerary. Can any regulars let me know if the WDW portion is possible? We will have premier pass every day, so we have time on our side. I tried to make it so it was logistically efficient, with reducing steps, and inserting downtime (either eating or slow long dark rides) to save our feet/legs.

Also, I may need help understanding if all my food reservations for magic kingdom are realistic as well.

I used to go to Disneyland all the time when I was younger. But I have only been to WDW once, about 5 years ago. My memory of it is not as strong, so I need another set of eyes.

We’re visiting Magic Kingdom on a Sunday in November for one day (6 adults and one toddler)

This is our daughter’s first Disney trip, and we’re not sure when we’ll be back, so we’re willing to splurge on Premier Pass if it’s genuinely worth it. Our priority is toddler-friendly rides and experiences rather than thrill rides.

For those who’ve used both, is Premier Pass worth the significant extra cost, especially for the flexibility of not having to schedule return windows? Or can we realistically do most toddler-friendly attractions with Multi Pass without spending the whole day on our phones?

Also wondering whether buying Premier Pass for just two adults makes any sense, or whether the whole group should have the same pass.

Would love any advice!! Thank you so much!

Hi everyone!

I am going to Disney for the first time with a friend who's been to Disney for a few years and wanted to know how I could budget for the trip! For reference, I'm more-so on the budget side because I am a college student and spent a lot splitting the hotel and flight to get there.

I have the 3-day pass and plan to go to Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom (my friend said she doesn't want to do it but she convinced me to buy the pass). We don't have any meal reservations, but I wanted to find some good restaurants and places to get drinks/food, but don't know the exact price range of each place (or how many meals we plan to eat).

I'll be there during Halloween and wanted to make the most of it! Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Just decided we're going to Disneyland on Thanksgiving. Looking for a place on or off property nearby for a traditional thanksgiving meal but looks like we're late and there are no reservations at Storyteller's or Goofy's kitchen. Any other options we can look into? Thanks!

Looking to book a shuttle from SNA to our hotel near Disneyland.

We land at 11:30am - what time should I book the shuttle pick up? Never been to this airport so not familiar with timings!

Also… what shuttle company? We are a family of 4 - 2 adults a 3 year old and an 8 month old. We will bring the 8 month old car seat but will need one for our 3 year old. I’m looking at the SUVs but not sure how big we will need.

What company has been good to you?

Hey all, heading to DisneySea tomorrow, Disneyland the next day and DisneySea again the following day. I’m just wondering what a realistic single rider wait looks like in Tokyo? Seems to be a super limited number of rides compared to other parks so not sure if that’s a good or bad thing!

Hi, my daughter is turning 6 November 7 and we will be at disney world in Florida November 5-7. We have been unable to get her in that weekend. Is there an alternative to this in park? Or any other suggestions?

mapping out five days for magic kingdom and epcot with the kids later this spring, and we want to book a good hotel where four of us can actually spread out without paying on-property villa rates.

westgate town center resort keeps popping up on travel portals with reasonable rates for two-bedroom suites with a kitchen. looking through westgate town center resort reviews though, mostly everything is either complaints about timeshare sales desks or owners talking about deed maintenance.

tbh we want a solid setup where we can cook breakfast in the room, get decent rest, and hit the park gates early for rope drop. um so for people who drove from here to the parks on a regular booking, does getting out of the resort gate onto 192 add unexpected bottleneck time early in the morning, or is the drive over to the toll plaza smooth enough to beat the main crowd?

Hi all! We are planning a Disney trip for May with our 5 year old and 2.5 year old. We did Disney a few years ago with our oldest and stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort. We loved how easy it was to use a small stroller and get on the Skyliner to head to Epcot. However, knowing our kids, we will spend lots of time at Magic Kingdom when we go. We are thinking about a resort in the MK resort area if we could get recommendations on what you all like most for kids around our age, or try to talk me into a different deluxe or moderate that you loved! We will have double stroller and our kids wake up early so will be at parks early in the day and love a good pool with zero entry!

Thank you!

I was curious about the cost of a one-day ticket to Disney World for April 2027.

I can accept the outrageous cost of $204 per person, but what I find insulting is that children ages 3-10 are $199.  That is a whole $5 savings.   

That's all I got. I just had to vent, and where better to vent than on Reddit.

My family and I will be visiting Disneyland in on Wednesday. We have a hopper ticket with Lighting Lane pass. I have to admit I haven't been there in over 25 years, and I have no idea how to even go about planning for the day.

We are staying less than a mile away and plan to take an afternoon break and go back in the evening. We aren't trying to "maximize" our day, just have fun. I am not sure what to prioritize, my boys are 5 and 9 and love trains. Thunder mountain is definitely at the top of our list.

Do we need to be there for rope drop or can we take the shuttle bus next to our hotel and go through security there (opens at 7 am, much less stressful). Thanks for any advice!

Hello all!

Just wondering. Are there any other kid friendly visuals at the Grand Californian or just Orange Bird theme rooms? Outside of the Orange Bird, I don’t really see a lot of like fun visuals, and it just seems like a huge luxurious stuffy hotel. And I could be totally wrong, as I’ve never gone and just cut through there from PP.

I am still very much on the fence whether to pick here or Pixar Place again with two kids under five years old.

If anyone has any pictures of the Grand Californian, I would actually really appreciate seeing them. Thank you!! ❣️

I’m planning a trip for mid-December and wondering if I missed the opportunity to book a dining reservation at Blue Bayou. When I check the reservation system online everything is marked as unavailable through December 18! Is this normal or will spots open up?

I was a faithful annual pass holder up until 4-5 years ago when it got priced out of my budget. I'm going for the first time in 4-5 years on the 22nd with a 1 day park hopper ticket.

I'm not sure how much has changed in the last 5 years. Any tips/advice on making the most of my 1 day ticket? I got so used to the casualness that being an AP afforded me that I'm not sure how to attack the day as a one time visitor.

Hello,
We are in the process of looking into a trip mid December.
We have not been in 9 years so I’m not very well informed on the lightning lane passes. anyone know how much the cost is per person per day?
Also is it worth it for a family of 4, 18 year old and 17 year old boys.

We are interested in a special experience, any recommendations or suggestions between Keys to the Kingdom, or Savour the Savanna or wild Africa Trek?

Thanks for the help!
