    Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show Reviews

    Took our kids (2 and 4) about 6 years ago. Wife and I enjoyed the food and show, kids watched the show with passion allowing us time to enjoy the food. Also the show has multiple breaks so it's not continuously running so it can seem long because of that. We actually are Harding back end of...

    Is Memory Maker worth it?

    With 4 kids (2 2-year old twins, 5 and 9 year olds) we've been using the service since it was cost per picture (only 2 kids back then). Worth it for us in just pictures at Character Dinning and in front of the castle (or tree, or topiaries) where I don't have to haul my big Nikon through the...

    Balloon at Epcot?

    We have brought our balloons back into the parks, all except AK as they dont allow them. You should be fine.

    Fast Pass + Help :(

    We just came back from MK and walked on to Anna & Elsa 15 min before midnight close and I know all the fast passes were gone for today when our window opened. My advise is early first thing or right before close. Also DVC and AP holders who drive from NC and we love fast-pass + since we don't...

    Very angry about Fast Pass + choices or lack there of for June 17-20!

    While I don't know your party make-up I will pass this on: Just returned from MK where Frozen m&g was 10 mins about 15 min before the midnight park closure time so we took our 3 year old even though we have fast passes for tomorrow night. Perhaps your party could hang around till right before...

    What could Disney do better for parents ?

    Nothing Disney can/should do. It's just a fact of having a stroller in the parks. Takes extra time to board buses and trams as well. How many times have you waited for the bus after a long day and they load two scooters, pushing your departure back even further? The groans from other guests is...

    What could Disney do better for parents ?

    We love how quickly things that are dropped are picked up and brought to lost and found. Lost my park ticket and CC on my lanyard a few years ago, within the time I realized to finding a CM (about a min) it was in the back room of the store I lost it in and about to go to the front of the park...

    FastPass in the MDE app?

    You need to have linked active AP or an upcoming reservation with park tickets and be at least 30 days out from your arrival date in order to start making Fastpass selections. Hope that helps

    3 Favourite things to do at resorts

    We always go to the pool/kid water play area and try our hand at some of the pool games. Try the resort restaurant and watch a movie under the stars. Since we stay at Kidani village mostly, listen to the story tellers and catch a night animal encounter.

    For those Moms/Dads Who've Been with Kids: Touring Plans?

    We have taken our 2 kids (3 and 7 this year) and have been going during the spring rush times, due to school. We don't use touring plans, instead we go in the morning (using EMH or soon after rope drop), hit fantasy land, one or two of our fast passes then have breakfast. Following breakfast we...

    So Disney IS A Bargain?

    UNI just increased its ticket prices as well. One day/1 park is now $105, I believe so the price barrier has been crossed by both resorts. Still comes down to what you want to do, IMO

    Favorite WDW Podcast? Am I missing any?

    I like WDWRadio, Lou is very passionate about Disney and the parks. Each episode is a delight to listen to, he also has trivia at the end of each podcast! I also like 2men and a mouse. Same passion level, not as high quality but their love of Sonny Eclipse is a hoot. They recently had a Romance...

    Choosing Resort - Help Please!

    Poly is nice but if you are going to MK for most of the trip you can't beat the contemporary simply because you can quickly walk over and avoid all the crowds.

    Memphis/Mid South Flyers get another option

    Be careful, if your flight lands at Sandford you are out of luck for Magic Express.

    Pirate Cruise

    My son went about two years ago this April, launched from GF. He loved the cruise. I believe it's only offered in the morning. There were 3 or 4 different ones-each port of departure has a different pirate back story. All the kids get bandanas and a bag of "loot" once they return to port. It was...

    Share your experience with taking your special needs child

    Our, now 7 yr old, son is on the Autism spectrum with some sensory issues and we always found that going early am, leaving around 1pm for some pool or quiet time in the hotel before returning helped us avoid the large crowd times but also gave him breathing room. Also allowed him to set the...

    Tower of Terror debuts new on-board video souvenir with Memory Maker and MagicBands

    We used Memory Maker back in April of this year and for the amount of money we paid, getting ride photos for Splash, Space mountains, buzz lightyear and all the character meet and greets (including meals) it was worth it alone. Adding video to the mix would be a great memory (laugh). Luckily...

    To nap or not to nap...

    Can't imagine not napping at "home"; we just got back on April 20 from a 10 day trip and used every afternoon we were in the parks to return "home" for a nap after lunch (around 1:30-2). Found that when the kids and parents napped or at least relaxed a bit we could return at dinner to the parks...

    Ohana Questions

    The dinner is an all you can eat sit down (they bring the food to you) buffet. Took our then 5 yo son, 1 yo daughter, mom and dad last april for a late night (9:30pm) dinner after a full MK day and a nap. I would say we got our moneys worth (especially since 1 yo was free and 5yo was a lower...

    Magic Bands & e-certificates

    We had a similar problem for our trip in Nov. A call to the help line allowed us to get up and running with the MDE and Fastpass+. Only issue was actually linking the e- ticket to the magic band-we had to go to the ticket window at MK (we were trying to get to the fireworks show the night we...
