    What is the right age (for your family) to start bringing kids to WDW?

    You will always get a diversity of views on such questions For us, there are few places that offer such easy access to child friendly and baby friendly entertainment, shows, restaurants, etc. Also, the older kids are such hard work, that this covers them and the babies are easy - as they get...

    Suggestions for how to reveal the WDW trip surprise

    And as a further thought, depending on a childs age and gender, the illusion that they enjoy the planning may just be that - adults definitely. So many kids you see overwhelmed and crying down main street is because they have had days, weeks or months of planning. Just a provocative thought...

    Suggestions for how to reveal the WDW trip surprise

    Hi I have told this story before, but we managed to get a 3 and 5 year old from the UK to the front gates of Animal kingdom the second day without them knowing and told them outside the entrance and 10 minutes later were in the park. At that age, they don't guess! They were just told this is...

    Yacht OR Beach?

    I stayed at YC in December and was truly surprised at how much they are the 'same resort' - if you can get YC for the same money fine, but if you have to spend a penny more, move to Grand Floridian. Alternative, you will be fine in beach club - you will love it!

    Grocery Delivery to Resort

    I have tried all of the above. The best option is a supermarket. Whether an Uber, taxi, whatever, I have often done the winn Dixie 5 mins away from CSR and other local resorts. If you use a delivery, the sizes are never right, the deals never there and you pay for it.

    Hi I have done it with 3 kids of similar ages, having perfected it with the first two when they were younger. For us, and like everyone this is individual viewpoint for you pop into the mix, the meals were key to the experience. Universal or seaworld doesnt have anything like this. It isnt...

    Parks and Transportation with double stroller

    Valet is the correct way if following rules I must confess if going for a 7pm dinner to popping over for an hour to MK from self park before home - not sure if that upsets residents, but no one has ever challenged it Very different than turning up at 9am to park for a meal 8 hours later!

    Clip On Fans

    I dont think they are of much use. We bought a battery or usb powered fan with built in sponge you wet and in hot temperatures it cools the air by about 10 degrees, so was awesome - it runs on usb so we used a massive battery block that could do phones, cameras and the fan for hours - it was...

    Parks and Transportation with double stroller

    We visited in last few years with a 3 and 4 year old and then 5,6 and 1 year old last summer. We had city mini double and were on site in boardwalk area so my thoughts are as follos: Buses are a nightmare with double and given where you are, you can walk to epcot, boat to DHS which is ver...

    Disney with an Autistic child

    You may find the new express transport option, if still operating when you are there, is very useful as it gives a rapid way out of the parks noise. I would also advise a discussion with any supporting physician who could produce a supporting letter that could be used by guest services as needed.

    Taking a 4 month old to Disney

    I think this is a fantastic time to visit with a baby. They dont eat - so no problems with food. If breast feeding, easy. If bottle, easy. The baby sleeps in a carrier or pram and you do want you want. The baby wakes and will go with the flow. They are light to hold, temperature is good...

    Thinking of staying at OKW

    It sounds to me OKW works perfectly for you then We think pool side entertainment daily is second to none. We thought GF was poor by comparison. The Saturday night games are really fun for little ones whilst you have a drink. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The location is same as...

    Which parks?

    as with all my posts, it depends Will you be heading to Disney again in next few years? how adventurous is your older one? Tower of terror / start tours / test track territory? Finally, is GF a special item, one off stretch type deal - or can you afford to go back? If one off, relax and...

    Lots of FPs in a day

    sorry - I have missed a trick here - I always thought you were tired to the window so only 1 per hour and then you had to wait for that slot to expire I am understanding you correctly that once you use the fastpass number 3 you can book the next number 4 and keep booking straight after each ride?
