    Parking at Swan or Dolphin for Epcot?

    Yes it's absolutely about the time saved, not the money. After what we've paid for the trip, $4 is nothing lol.

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    I would be very sad about a night like last night. It was miserable for hours. We're in Orlando but not at the party. I did read elsewhere that Disney added a complimentary 1-day hopper park pass to everyone's MDE account. Also read that people who called to say they could not use a "free day"...

    Epcot strategy for Sunday 11/19

    No you aren't being a downer. I need realistic advice so I can set expectations for the little grandgirls. Thanks for advice.

    Epcot strategy for Sunday 11/19

    No we haven't and no we are not:). I am rethinking our strategy since it's a busy week and we are offsite...will try Remy LL and hopefully get it early and Frozen LL to follow. So I guess it makes sense to just park in the regular Epcot lot and plan to arrive early.

    Epcot strategy for Sunday 11/19

    Ok thanks for all that advice. We will also have two park days with 11 family members, all connected through F/F. Would you still recommend reserving all 11 for the things we want to do together? Likely would only be 2-3 rides per day we want to coordinate.

    Epcot strategy for Sunday 11/19

    Family of 4 adults, 3 kids staying offsite. Our priorities at Epcot for this Sunday are in this order: Remy, Frozen and Test Track. We will purchase LL and can reserve from 2 F/F accounts so we aren't trying to get our LLs for 7 people at a time. Would you recommend rope dropping Remy...

    Are paper park maps available at DS?

    We will arrive in Orlando a few days in advance of our park visits. I know park maps are online but does DS still have paper maps available?

    Parking at Swan or Dolphin for Epcot?

    Yes, thanks I did see the parking rate. It's $4 more than the Epcot lot if I have that correct. Which may be well worth it for us.

    Parking at Swan or Dolphin for Epcot?

    We plan to rope drop Remy on Sunday (11/19). We are staying off-property but considering parking at Swan or Dolphin to enter at International Gateway entrance. Does it matter whether we choose Swan or Dolphin for the quickest walk to Epcot?

    Updated Thanksgiving week hours

    I see that the park hours have been extended during Thanksgiving week. For Nov. 20th (not a party night) the park now closes at midnight. The fireworks are still listed at 8:00 pm on the WDW site. Is that time likely to stick even with the later park hours?

    Does it all really happen overnight? So fun to see both!

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    We are having a MK park day on a party day and we also have tickets to the party that same night (11/22). Our group is a mix of adults and kids. What is your advice regarding purchasing Genie+/LL for the day (I know it is not available during the party)? I have read to expect lower crowds and...

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    This is our first year going (11/22) and as I looked at sold out dates from 2022, it seems dates are selling out this year at a much slower pace. By the end of October 2022, there were 11 parties sold out (out of 24 parties). We still have a few days in October to go but wondering why only 3...

    MK fun with 11-year old?

    Thanks - didn't know about either of these.

    MK fun with 11-year old?

    I will definitely look into the vehicles! I have been to MK several times and have never ridden those! Barber shop looks fun but no appts on our date.

    MK fun with 11-year old?

    I'll have a few hours on a Monday morning in MK next month with my 11 year-old granddaughter while her parents and younger siblings go to BBB and CRT (which she has done before and is not interested in this trip). I'd like to make it a fun morning together. She does not like coasters or wild...

    Everything PhotoPass & Memory Maker

    Some in our party don't want to wear MB (we have from 2018). I purchased MM for the group to use and I wonder if photo pass photos and ride photos work with the watch? If someone uses a card instead of a MB will that work for photo pass and ride photos?

    Is Kali River Rapids closed in November?

    We will be visiting Thanksgiving week and planning our AK strategy. I could not find a list of ride closures. Will Kali be closed?

    Official 'how to get from point A to point B while at WDW' thread.

    Yes we have an ADR at Chef Mickey's for breakfast and want to see GF and WL afterwards. But we can't leave our cars at CR while we go elsewhere so I thought we'd ride share to CR and go on from there to GF and WL - just don't know the best way to do that.
