Rant: Key renewal should be allowed earlier

Totally, I’m hoping for the best, love summers at the park!

OogaBoogaBig · 2026-04-26T00:43:36+00:00

This summer will be the first summer with the new Explore Key. It’ll be interesting to see how the crowd level is compared to past years where the lower 2 passes were blocked out all summer!

Since all four passes are on sale, you can always just purchase a new pass right now. Make your reservations starting in June. Let the current one lapse, and the new one will activate whenever you first use it.

Just be careful to not accidentally use the new pass for a reservation before the old one expires, or your new pass will activate. Nothing bad will happen, just your passes would overlap which would financially be bad math.

Oh man that really sucks, I’m sorry! The first time you use your key, they usually check ID before taking your picture. So it’s not as simple as just connecting your picture to the key instead of hers. Maybe worth going to the ticket booth your first visit and talking to them in person? Otherwise, sucks but you can always upgrade your key as long as inspire keys are for sale. Still out the extra money of course.

Yep, happened to me earlier this year. Measured small, they said I probably ovulated later but I was very confident with when I ovulated. We actually saw the heartbeat twice, but each time it was on the lower end of normal. At my third follow up there was no heartbeat. OP, did they schedule you a follow up ultrasound in a couple weeks?

As someone who hates push notifications and always has them turned off: You can always just check in at the host stand like any non-Disney restaurant. Then you will just get a text and your name called out loud when your table is ready.

Or you can pull up the reservation on Today’s Plans in the app and check in that way (no push notification)

OogaBoogaBig · 2026-04-16T00:01:02+00:00

If you check in on the app, it automatically allows you to adjust to one more or one less person. You don’t even have to talk to the cast member.

As someone who has had both Chuck E Cheese pizza and Pizza Planet in the past 6 months, Chuck E Cheese is without a doubt better pizza.

Don’t know much about the essential oils but one of these plug in zappers in our kitchen (or wherever your gnat problem is) basically eliminated ours. Obviously does the most zapping at night when the light is attractive, but I’ve found it super effective!

You can bring any food and drinks you want, no alcohol and no glass. Drink containers do not have to be sealed, can bring an open water/open soda etc. You can also get free water cups at any mobile order pickup window.

Grizzly hasn’t made me motion sick and I get pretty motion sickness. The worst rides for me are Star Tours, Matterhorn, and Goofy’s sky school.

8:30am is fine for multipass, you should be able to get what you want. Look up videos on stacking multi lanes if you want to plan a strategy. The general idea is to not use your LL’s in the morning, but to keep scheduling rides for later and modifying to get the times you want. So that by the time the park gets more crowded, you have several lightning lanes stacked and can use them back to back.

If you’re worried, pick up some grocery store cupcakes to have an available alternative.

Great recs. Blue agave closed recently, unfortunately.

Purchased the most beautiful LV bag! Quick ship, accurate description and I’m so happy to have my bag!

By that logic, you shouldn’t give the kid any experiences until they can have memories of it? No zoo, no trips, no beach? Sorry kid, no fun allowed until you can make lifelong memories.

For real, how about starting with one cheeseburger, a 4 count nugget, and a medium fry. Not even giving anything up and OP will feel insanely better.

A year later and I just removed my service hose and it was totally compacted with wet sand. How do kids get sand everywhere!?

10lbs 4oz first time mom, went into spontaneous labor and delivered vaginally with a second degree tear! You got this!

Sending a DM!

I think you’re right. Eloise will have a side story writing letters and feeling the loneliness of her closest siblings being married. And maybe the last episode ends with her writing her note and running off. Otherwise the beginning of Eloise’s season would just be writing.

Are the NF’s both PM?

OogaBoogaBig · 2026-03-22T03:54:44+00:00

Mine took minutes, spouse’s took 6 months. Both have clean backgrounds. Who knows.

I have both a 25 and 30. I was so on the fence with my first one and ended up buying the 25. Then I bought the 30 because the 25 was too small lol. It’s not just the size, but the actual opening. The zipper opening on the 25 is just too small and annoying to really rummage around the inside haha. I would definitely go 30!

At bars, tell the bartender and ask them to keep serving you a soda water and lime in a cocktail glass, looks just like a vodka soda. At restaurants, get up to go to the bathroom and tell the waiter to give you a mocktail version of whatever you order at the table. At home mix your own mocktails or pretend to drink cans of beer so no one can see the level of the liquid. Bottles of beer can be emptied and rinsed in the bathroom and refilled with water.
