    Few Quick Questions from Uni First Timer

    We have eaten twice at Thunder Falls and got food similar in type as 3 Broomsticks - but the quality was much lower at Thunder Falls We have never had our chicken at 3B's overcooked there, while it was dried out both times at Thunder Falls. The mac and cheese was inedible from Thunder Falls...

    Hotel Deals????

    Do you have an annual pass? Put in the code APH and it will tell you what the rate is for annual passholders. Then you can see if it makes sense to upgrade to an annual pass. You do not need the pass in hand when you check in - but will need to show it before you check out. Another option...

    Best way to get to parks from cabana bay

    Just chiming in with another - take the bus!! The busses at CB are wonderful. We never had to wait for one and you get there fast. The security is much faster than it used to be to, making taking the boats over to save time not end up saving time anymore. As for what time to get there, it...

    Worth it to pay for Express pass or to stay in participating resort?

    I would strongly recommend staying at a hotel with express. I don't know how long your trip is. If you are planning 6 days in the parks, then you can work it staying at CB. But if you have three or less days in the parks, then get express in some form. Staying at a hotel that offers express...

    Where to live near WDW for retiring family with kids.

    Horizons West. That area includes Dr. Phillips, Windermere, and some of Winter Garden - though some of Winter Garden is north of that. I live in Horizons West and moved here a few months ago. I can't see the fireworks out my window - due to the house across the street. But I can walk a few...

    Ride configurations

    Yes- they were when my kids were younger. So, unless something has changed, it's allowed.

    Which parks?

    My kids always liked EP better than MK at that age! I know many prefer MK but don't underestimate EP. AK was a flop for my kids. We tried it three times with preschoolers until we finally gave up. (We did go back recently and were successful with a half day - but my youngest was 7). So, I...

    Ride configurations

    They were strict about being 7 when we went - wouldn't even let the child ride in a different car. My middle child was 10 during our last trip and she was asked every single time too. She does look younger than her age though. But maybe it depends on which CM you get. As for Speedway, our...

    Disney World with a 6 week old....

    Make sure you have trip insurance. You don't know if your body will be ready for that. You don't know if you will get a challenging baby either. My second child did go at two months old. It went quite well. I wouldn't have healed enough to go before then though. I ended up with a...

    Hello Y'all!

    Hi, I'm new here. I moved to Orlando a few months ago and bought a Disney annual pass but haven't activated it yet. I'm trying to hold off since those things aren't cheap when multiplied by five for a family! We will likely just have annual passes for a year since we'll be out of the country...

    Few Quick Questions from Uni First Timer

    1). Look up which park has the early extra hour. Start in the park that does not have it. Start in the HP area since that gets the most crowded. Do one HP area as soon as you get there. Do the other right before closing. 2). You have to park in the parking garage and they will tell you...
