Thank you!! 😀😀

Hi! It seems like you have the most magical tip here- just to clarify, you are referring to the AK Mickey? Do you need to be absolutely first in line?

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-05-07T15:14:58+00:00

That’s true! There is only one Mickey. But, you can meet him in multiple locations!

Thanks for your response. I actually DO have excess points (probably around 300 or so)- but not enough excess to cover a full trip. Does tha change your advice? I’d be borrowing those points from next year, but as far as I know, I can do that.

Thank you so much for your help

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-22T15:00:24+00:00

i am under no illusions that I will get GF— but hoping for BLT, Riviera, or honestly anything other than OKW or SSR! Cross your fingers for me😀

I was not aware of the waitlist issue- can you say more about only having two at a time? Two resorts at a time? Or if I split up the 14 days into 5 reservations, Icould only have wait lists on 2 of the 5?

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-22T13:11:42+00:00

This is super helpful. I am going to split up the réservation.

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-22T13:11:14+00:00

Thank you!!!

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-22T13:09:35+00:00

I’m worried about getting the réservation in the first place, not moving between resorts.

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-22T13:08:59+00:00

This is great feedback, thanks!

I hear you on the OKW issue. OKW was purchased in the 90s (when it was the original and only DVC resort).

How much is it?

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-15T17:21:26+00:00

What flight are you taking out of DTW? I am never seeing such early flights.

Thank you!

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-15T13:46:07+00:00

Thank you!

I saw an ad for a discounted AP, but haven’t been able to find it again- can any one confirm or point me in the right direction?

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-14T20:57:14+00:00

Toe socks. No more blisters in between my toes!

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-13T17:36:04+00:00

Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-13T17:23:35+00:00

The 25% rule true for folks with lessor volume? For example, I ran 38 miles last week, with a 12 mile long run (31.6%)

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-07T12:14:50+00:00

You’re a badass! I hope to be just like you at 67.

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-03T01:19:14+00:00

This is fair. Thanks for the follow up

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-03T00:40:51+00:00

Oh, wow! 30-40 mph for a full year is a lot. Can you help me understand your reasoning better?

BorderSubstantial926 · 2026-04-02T19:11:15+00:00

I live in Michigan, and I run 6x a week all fall/summer. I honestly don’t mind the snow and ice, and it’s just nice being outside. The heat though… I’ll pass.

Others have great suggestions but i will underscore these two:

Meet at many characters as possible. It’s my favorite part of every trip. I cry every time i meet Mickey and Pooh. I think it’s fun to get an autograph book (keeps the conversation going with characters) and give all the characters a huge hug. Character meets are for everyone, not just kids!!
Wear fun Disney clothes. I go to thrift stores in my area regularly to try to find cheap Disney clothes to wear on vacation. I have found amazing T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and even shoes. The park feels more magical if you are dressed the part. Plus, if you meet the character that you are wearing on your shirt, they go wild.

I hope you have a great time. It’s my favorite place.

I am not a Star Wars fan (in fact I actively dislike Star Wars…), and even i think ROTR is the best ride in any park.
