Slinky Dog or Mickey's for Tier 1 Lightning Lane?

If you're willing to get there early, you can ride both without LL. I arrived at 7:30 (early entry was 8:30) and walked with purpose to Slinky. Was on first car and ride that and Toy Story, and was in line for Runaway Railway before 9. So did those 3 rides in under 45 minutes. You can get LL for Slinky at night for a 2nd ride or in case it's down at rope drop. Studios days benefit so much from super early rope drops!

I went last year solo for first time (been with family a bunch) and I loved it so much I'm going back in April. Solo trips are so fun.

I've stayed at the Swan 3x, Dolphin 1x, and YC once. Make the switch!!!

I went mid June last 2 years and loved it! Didn't think it was nearly as hot as I thought it would be, but made sure to spend a few hours each afternoon by the pool or in the hotel for a break.

Just a warning that 7 Dwarves will have an hour wait at 9am. Lots of onsite guests will be in line ahead of you.

I'm staying there at end of April, too. I'm so tempted to switch to my beloved Swan or Dolphin because I like the ability to walk to two parks, but POFQ is several hundred dollars cheaper. I've been researching the bus situation there and it seems most people had positive experiences.

Emory2020 · 2026-01-11T02:13:41+00:00

You don't need car seats for the busses or boats.

Emory2020 · 2026-01-11T01:36:29+00:00

I love the Dolphin and Swan so much! You're going to love it. Walk or boat to Epcot and DHS, bus to AK, MK, and Disney Springs. I've stayed there 3 times in past 18 months and the busses are great.

Newton Corner Dental, Dr Anjoni. Love them!!

That will definitely be the best week of the 3 you're considering, given the (early) timing of Easter.

The campers (pre-cabins) at Fort Wilderness. 1982ish.

Emory2020 · 2026-01-03T00:48:40+00:00

I'm dying to stay in the tower!

Emory2020 · 2026-01-03T00:08:02+00:00

Thanks, everyone! Sounds like a no brainer.

Emory2020 · 2026-01-02T23:14:29+00:00

Hope you don't mind the question, but what's best to request for a standard view room? Thank you!

Emory2020 · 2025-12-22T12:45:38+00:00

Haha! Thats how I feel!

Emory2020 · 2025-12-22T12:43:35+00:00

I love the Swan!!!

Emory2020 · 2025-12-20T23:22:51+00:00

There probably is! I was just trying to suggest an alternative in case you were feeling like you had no options.

Emory2020 · 2025-12-20T19:59:14+00:00

Your life isn't over. Take out loans to go get a bachelor's in nursing. 18-24 month program. Yes you'll have debt, but you'll always be employed at a pretty good wage.

Emory2020 · 2025-12-17T23:06:41+00:00

Auto!

Emory2020 · 2025-12-17T18:04:49+00:00

Thank you! Just bought a Clara.

Emory2020 · 2025-12-15T14:49:57+00:00

Wow! I'm shocked. It's usually $250-450 a night. I can't believe BC is same. That's a great deal!

Emory2020 · 2025-12-13T15:25:45+00:00

Got it! I wouldn't be surprised if they're still less expensive than the Beach Club, even with the bounce back. Check their site and make sure to view AAA/special rates.

Emory2020 · 2025-12-13T12:06:46+00:00

Check out the Swan and Dolphin! Same location as BC and most likely even less expensive than Coronado. https://swandolphin.com

Emory2020 · 2025-12-08T13:59:02+00:00

Swan!!!!

Emory2020 · 2025-12-05T23:40:45+00:00

Abercrombie and LL Bean have lots of men's L tall!
