    how crowded is "really crowded"?

    Sadly I think you're right. When I just went during this "slow" week in Dec. 2014 we had to get in the park entrance line about 35 minutes before park opening and we were still probably about 40 people deep in our respective line. As soon as the park opened we could fast walk to our favorite...

    how crowded is "really crowded"?

    I went the week after 9/11 and it was an absolute ghost town. Sort of spooky walking down Main St. and it's just you, your wife and maybe 10 other people. In fact, quite a few rides were simply closed.

    how crowded is "really crowded"?

    I went the 2nd week of Dec. 2014 which was supposed to be a "slow" week. Never again. It certainly wasn't as slow as the 1st week of Oct. 2012 when I went last which was a dream. I would never, ever, ever go when the anticipated crowd is anything over "slow." That's just me, though.

    How to get over the disappointment of a cancelled trip?

    You're not missing anything by not going in July. That is, unless you love to be packed in WDW like sardines in a can with blistering temperatures. At that time of year it's not even a vacation, it's a week long survival trial. It may not seem like it now but you're doing yourself a favor by...

    Osborne Lights Christmas 2015

    These truly are a spectacle to behold. Are they rumored to go away forever?

    Crowd calendars

    There were some but it wasn't anywhere near an overwhelming amount. The park was just full, period.

    Thanks but that requires a subscription.

    Crowd calendars

    I know there are crowd calendars that predict crowd levels for future dates but are there any that show previous weeks actual levels? Reason I ask is that we just went the week of December 8 and from my perspective it was very busy. However, from the time we booked in April 2014 until the day we...

    Plus sized ride experiences?

    I actually had this conversation with my wife and mother when we were at WDW 2 weeks ago. I don't know how anyone that large can ride half of the rides offered. I'm 6/1" and a narrow 197lbs. and while I don't have to squeeze into the seats on any rides there sure isn't a ton of extra room around...

    DESSERTS

    I prefer desserts, deserts are a little gritty and hard to swallow.

    Trip Report Trip report - 12/6 -12/13. Cabins FW etc etc

    Just got back myself from the 9th - 14th. Crowds were definitely much larger than I anticipated. Every crowd calendar I found said this week was traditionally slow but it was very busy, especially MK. I'm not sure if we were trying to ride different rides but I could only get onto (without a FP)...

    Be Our Guest FP+

    I (and the other two parties we're traveling with) received an email from Disney Destinations to participate in a beta for BOG reservations. Utilizing a link in the email we made our reservations and ordered our meals. However, I can't figure out how to link it to MDE. It doesn't show up under...

    Magic Bands, etc.

    If you haven't visited in 7 years than it's not the MagicBands. When I went in the fall of 2012 they were still using the old Key to the World card.

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    For me there's just something inherently wrong with this at EPCOT. This park is supposed to be a world's showcase of sorts and doing a Norway makeover into Frozen? This is a fictional character set in a fictional land, what does it have to do with Norway? I can see it now. Walk up the main...

    Clean water in Splash Mountain

    I didn't notice it too much on Splash but definitely on Maelstrom.

    The Travel Insurance...

    For my family of 4 the insurance on our December 2014 trip was $200. It includes 100% trip cancellation including prepaid airfare for getting laid off of work, sickness or being called into military service. It also includes $25,000 of emergency medical expense, $25,000 of rental car insurance...

    The Travel Insurance...

    Same. It's such a small amount to pay it's a no-brainer for me.

    Anybody see this at F&W today?

    I took my family in October of 2012. I will never step foot in EPCOT again while F&W is going on. The week I was there was literally like a spring break vacation.
