    September Magic Kingdom Hours Updated

    I have been coming for 20 years and often in the summer, we have found the hours to be very short this summer compared to other years. In the past we have enjoyed many an evening in Magic, this year it's all a bit manic at the end of the day because so many people are leaving at the same time. I...

    Disney cutting back summer hours?

    I am hoping they do extend the August hours, due to the heat we usually do more evenings than daytime in MK - after the possibly regular late afternoon 'shower', 10pm does seem a little early. I know Disney is now busy most of the year but we always felt that the downside of the summer heat &...

    What is the plan for Innoventions East and West?

    Nothing to do with EPCOT - just read through this thread - in Chorlton--Hardy, dreaming of being in Disney!

    No outside food and drink in WDW parks?

    I personally couldn't eat Disney food for 14 days in a row, so would choose to spend less time in the parks and eat elsewhere. As a family of 5 we take water in as I want to encourage my children to keep drinking throughout the day to keep hydrated, especially in the summer. If I had to pay...

    Wishes fireworks desert party

    I was very disappointed with the Wishes Dessert party - very expensive for not very nice desserts. Tables were set up nicely but area was very grim & grubby. The view for the fireworks is good but would personally prefer to be behind the Castle - not too crowed but great atmosphere and can hear...

    Toy Story stand by time early AM

    We were there in August and went in first thing twice and only queued 15-20 minutes. Even if the queue is long, it moves fast as there are not many fastpasses going through. Our party had 4 children in it and a couple of slower walkers - so although we were there for opening we were not super...

    Memory Maker

    Out here using it at the moment. My children will smile much more for the Disney photographer than they will for me! Definitely worth it when you have children & are in Disney for three weeks, you should get loads of great photos. If you have access to a computer whilst away, try and edit your...

    Innoventions West to Close in May?

    So sad the Piggy game has gone (& Fire game & electrical thing at the other side!) not much for younger children to do now at EPCOT. I don't mind having stuff for adults but always thoughtof Disney as family orientated and it will be harder to occupy all the family, it was always nice that they...

    Family of 5

    We stayed at Disney for many years and had an amazing time but realistically with 3 children - the rooms are small. We have stayed off property in a villa for a while now and spend lots of time at Disney but get to go back and have plenty of space and the advantages of the kitchen. We stayed...

    Water park help!!

    If I could only go to one, I would go to Typhoon, but they are both good. The children's area at Blizzard is flatter so easier to watch the children but Typoon has the children's area and a nice quiet shallow pool near slush gusher ride which is nice for little ones.

    Starbucks Trolley Car Cafe on Hollywood Blvd at Disney's Hollywood Studios?

    I actually like Starbucks but will be extremely disappointed if Starring rolls closes. Their cakes are the best and family tradition to go there after riding Toy Story to have a coffee & cake and plan what we are going to do for the rest of the day.

    has Hollywood Studios lived up to its name change?

    We still call it MGM, kids used to correct me but now they call it MGM too!

    Question for the Brits really.......

    For the first time this Easter, after 16 years of flying with Virgin, travelled with US Airways from Manchester via Philadelphia. It was less than half the price of Virgin, which was worth the extra couple of hours journey time. The difference paid for our accommodation and Disney tickets. Was...
