    EPCOT Recommendation for Family with Little Kids

    I don't see how Epcot would be a problem for a young child. Our oldest was 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 when we were there with her, and she was plenty amused by all of Future World that she could ride at that time, but also enjoyed the World Showcase. There are character encounters in WS that also...

    Rent or bring our stroller?

    Hands down avoid the stress and wear (or disrepair) to be placed on your own stroller and leave it home go with Kingdom Strollers. https://www.kingdomstrollers.com I agree with those above on the comfort of the stroller, and also the affordability. It was right there waiting for us when we...

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    I know that I'm showing my age, but as a female, I would happily visit a park with attractions that featured Mario, Zelda, Bond's Goldeneye (Oh I loved sniper shooting my friends in college in multiplayer mode!!) and even GTA. I think more women have played or play video games than one gives us...

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    To me this is the bigger problem than Potter going to Universal. For our family, the entire experience and ambience that Disney does so well (and I still think is better than Universal although I haven't seen Potter's addition yet) brings you back and makes Universal a "maybe" addition to the...

    Disney that could have been, should have been, or almost was.

    Villain Mountain - from the Neverland Files site posted above - sounds awesome! My daughter just asked me the other day why the villains do not have a ride… I had heard about that Volcano/Fire Mountain before and that really would make Adventureland pop…I wonder why so many of these never...

    The Castle

    Beast Castle would be neat to explore - it was neat to watch Belle explore in the movie. I always thought a "funhouse" type of experience in a castle (secret passages, gravity rooms, slides/chutes, would be a neat way to explore a fairytale castle.

    Considering 1 Day Trip to Universal w/ small kids - worth it or wait?

    We will be going to WDW in spring 2015 w/ a 6 year old and 1 year old. We are DVC members and to not lose our points, need to stay on-site this coming trip. Is it worth it to try and do Universal during this trip given the age of our oldest, and all the "gear" for a baby? (We would taxi...

    The Castle

    Maleficent in dragon form?!! :) I'd love it! I had hoped Beast Castle was going to be a ride. Never understood why a ride wasn't in one of their castles…

    Frozen at Disney's Hollywood Studios for the summer?

    Maybe not a Frozen "land" at DHS (I still think Pixar movies need such an area or at least Carsland…) but a ride with something else adjacent - a play area for the kids similar to the Honey I Shrunk the Kids area at DHS would be nice. And put Olaf in it - the way they did with Crush in EPCOT...

    Kingdom Keepers

    I thought that the first 3 books were really good. You may want to consider reading at least the first 2 because they do have some interesting backstory (even if at times exaggerated) of the goings on and behind the scenes at the parks. After book 3 I noticed the plot seemed a bit redundant and...

    Cinderella's Royal Table closing for lengthy refurbishment in early 2015

    Dining for us during a MK day typically involves leaving briefly to go to Polynesian or GF via monorail because I agree, there are very little options or they seem to rope off/close parts of the spaces for dining making it crowded and hard to navigate, plus long dining lines. And this is the...

    New theme park or updating the current ones?

    Definitely work with what they have and expand and/or refurbish. A 5th park just will encourage them to ignore and neglect DHS and Epcot IMO. EPCOT has what to me seem to be "easy" fixes because 2 pavilions exist that are needing TLC desperately. 1. Refurb Imagination pavilion - new show...

    Cinderella's Royal Table closing for lengthy refurbishment in early 2015

    I'm surprised too…you would think when they built Beast Castle that there would have been an option to move it to a special area there, which would not interfere with Be Our Guest restaurant. That would be a nice alternative location. And I hope that this has nothing to do with Frozen's insane...

    My FP+ experience

    I remain hopeful that the "magic" of these FP+ "reservations" will wear off by the time of our trip. We still have several months. I still am a bit in shock of the tales of the new lines due to them. And you are not alone having these arguments--When I mentioned last weekend we need to plan out...

    FP+ does NOT open at midnight?!?!?!

    I thank you so much for posting this little caveat. I was planning to do what I have done in years past--buy my park tickets at the hotel when we arrive--I would have been so lost when midnight hit for my 60 day window! This is why I am reading in advance of all my deadlines. They've really made...

    Memory Maker

    I'm a bit confused and have been trying to read all of the threads on Memory Maker. Is the old "PhotoPass" option gone now that MM exists? An example being, if I wanted my photo taken in front of the castle, and I don't give the CM my camera, do I need MM to access the photos? If this is a total...

    Peter Pan Queue

    If the queue for PPL could be expanded into that area where the restrooms were behind it on the way to Liberty Square, is there room around the attraction for a Fairies or place to have Hook and Peter Pan sign autographs? That would be interesting way to mix up this part of FL.

    First Timer...Needs some help with FP+ and timing planning

    We did this for our daughter and had a 9am or 9:15 then 11 or 11:30 at at Royal Table. You may be cutting it close because after they finish her at the BBB, you are moved next door for pictures in her gown w/ hair done. I felt it took at least 1 hour but it was packed that day so maybe at 8am...

    First time at Vero Beach, any tips?

    I would like to know this as well for those who have booked before. We are hoping to plan a trip for next summer there ~ how hard is a July/August trip at 7 months booking? And what is there for a 6 year old to do? The DVC website page is not as detailed as I would like I appreciate any...

    EPCOT Recommendation for Family with Little Kids

    My daughter at age 2 and then again at age 3 LOVED Spaceship Earth. She also would occasionally sleep on it. Just a helpful tip… :D She also enjoyed anyone singing at the pavilion by American Adventure as well as the performers by France and England. I was surprised at how interested she got...
