Upcoming 2026 Trips (Disney and Other)
I like the Cruise/Vero Beach combo (in either order). The night in the Poly is an added bonus because we have a morning flight home from MCO and I don't want to drive there from Vero Beach.

Dumb question, our first stay in the tower is coming up in October. It's just one night before we fly home out of MCO, coming on the back end of five nights on the Dream and three nights at Vero. Does the tower have its own parking lot or is it the same parking lot as the rest of the resort?

Is the Disney Dining Plan a Bad Value?

Is the Disney Dining Plan a Bad Value?

However, if we didn't have the DDP we would not have made those same choices. A couple of years ago w

Have they ever added an entrance to a park at WDW after that park opened? When did the International Gateway entrance to EPCOT become a thing? I don't remember it from the 1980s but it's possible I wasn't paying attention. I know they recently added the Pixar Pier entrance to California Adventure.
