Is there a direct bus from POFQ to Blizzard Beach? Conflicting info. One site suggesting yes and another saying switch at Disney Springs. We would be going for opening at 10am. Thanks.

The predictions for our mid Oct trip went up from an average of around 6-7 each day to 8-9 and even some 10s. But then, a few weeks ago, they came down twice and now average about 4-5 and MK is a 1 on some on the Halloween party nights. We assumed it was a combination of a slower Summer and...

When we stayed at Caribbean Beach, we got free QSDP and upgraded to DDP. Got the free DDP when we stayed at Contemporary. Both times we booked lots of character meals, meals before park opening and the Fantasmic dining package. Totally worth it. We met so many characters with no waiting in...

All Star resorts are value category resorts and so, unfortunately, don't qualify for the gift card. Need a package at a moderate or deluxe hotel to qualify.

Think the nutella waffle comes with fruit etc and is more expensive and so not a snack credit. Don't think you can use the quick serve credit there. All other waffles are snack credit. Epcot has so many amazing snack credit options. We use so many in Karamel Kuche in Germany for caramel popcorn...

We were there the week the new hours started. It was a bit underwhelming after really enjoying the old system where we would arrive at 8 to walk on to Space Mountain and Buzz several times then move through to the rides open in Fantasyland. As you'd expect, most people headed straight for...

Sequoia is nearer the parks so a quick walk and a lovely hotel - it's my husband's fav hotel in DLP. It has a pool whereas Cheyenne doesn't. Cheyenne is nice too, but when we stayed there, we ended up taking the bus as we struggled to find the walking path (20 min walk) There is a shop in the...

We did Garden Grill, great if you can get a pre-opening reservation. Get to meet mickey, pluto, chip and dale. Early entry into Epcot. Food was all you can eat but brought to the table. We enjoyed it. Not done Bon Voyage but have read reviews. The characters are pretty unique and the menu looks...

I feel your planner's pain! We're going in Oct too and there is so little planning compared to WDW, and not nearly as much info either! But it's a beautiful park and so easy to get around. We stayed in Sequoia years ago on our 1st visit and loved it. A short walk through Disney Village to the...

Pretty sure you can. There are also several buffet restaurants included in the meal plan that may suit instead? Once seated you eat at your own pace. We really like Plaza Gardens and most hotels have decent dinner buffets.

I could be wrong but I think meal plans are only available to add on as part of a package when staying at an onsite Disney hotel. Your hotel is a partner hotel and does appear on the website but is not Disney operated. That's certainly the case at WDW.

We loved it both stays. Pool is fab, The Kitchen does an amazing breakfast, staff were great and the theming was really cool. The walkway to the park is really pretty and takes no time and express passes are soooo good! Trying RPR for our next trip and worrying we might not like it as much?

Anything and everything from Karamell Kuche in the Germany Pavilion in Epcot. School bread and other treats from Kringla bakery in Norway Pavilion. Mmmm

Similar to us! Very confusing even after research!! It appears if you got the free dining you'll get a voucher to be used in the park for a counter service meal - drink and a breakfast item (many saying in cafe hyperion or cable car bake shop) and if you paid for a meal plan you get a hotel...

Just booked our Paris trip. Booked 4 nights at a DLP hotel through the official DLP website then 3 nights in a hotel in Paris separately. The rer train is very inexpensive, easy to use and the station is right by the park. I looked at the Paris pass and found it didn't meet our needs. A little...
