    Be Our Guest Breakfast Questions

    It's Quick Service. For Table Service Recommendations what are your other plans? I'm not sure what time they will let you into the park. (It seems like our pre-park breakfast is usually 10-15 minutes before the earliest reservation.) Disney Magic! (It's a Rose disc that allows the...

    4 Walt Disney World Resorts to accept dogs

    I have an extreme phobia and quite frankly it is shocking the number of dog owners that don't understand why I don't want their pet coming near me and try to force the issue. I keep my distance yet these dog owners don't respect my boundaries. I avoid pet friendly businesses since that is...

    Hurricane Irma

    Our trip was just to quick to risk it. We were risking not being able to leave on Monday. On a longer trip, I probably would have road it out. I lost my discount and Yacht Club :(. But better safe then spending days trying to get a flight home.

    Hurricane Irma

    I'm waiting on hold to cancel the room only reservation I have for 9/8-9/11. Just time to call this trip off and reschedule.

    Can't decide on Dining Plan

    To the points above the dining plan pays off if you are eating Buffet/Character Meals, get Dessert, etc. We went thru each menu for out TS and determined was we would really order. We would rather have an appetizer, share a plate or skip dessert. We have found the DP to be WAY too much...

    Port Orleans?? Riverside? French Quarter?

    They are both lovely resorts. We only use the buses when we go to MK. Everywhere else we will drive a car (If we fly in, we will rent a car. We like being on our own time schedule.) Both locations have a QS Breakfast Options. POR has a TS for Dinner. POFQ doesn't. POFQ was highly...

    FP+ For Frozen

    My 60 day was yesterday and I didn't have any trouble getting a pick of times for Frozen (Or Dwarfs). I was online exactly at 6 AM Central (7am Eastern). I knew what day I wanted, so that was the first day I worked on. After I had an initial pick, I even went back and revised the time...

    Can someone take a look at my ADRs and tell me if I'm making a wrong choice

    This is my suggestion. Build a simple excel spreadsheet and look at each menu and pick what you would order if you were in the restaurant right now. (It's a fun way to get into the Disney mood.) Include appetizers, drink and dessert; only if you would typically want those items. Take...

    Can't decide between Coronado and Port Orleans Riverside

    I've stayed at both. Would definitely go back to CSR in a heartbeat with a business class room. (This resort is what I would call Deluxe Lite.). We didn't feel that it being a convention hotel impacted the quality of the stay. In fact because of that during the day it felt rather...

    Change of plans, first day ideas..

    We rarely go into the parks on our first day. We like to pick a monorail resort for dinner and then find a place outside of the parks to watch the fireworks. Because that is a Halloween Party night the fireworks are extra cool. Grand Floridan Cafe is a favorite but we also had a great...

    Priceline?

    Priceline is the first place I check for Car Rentals. I've probably rented 10 times thru them. Never any issues. In fact, once our flight was delayed and they held our reservation for a full day. I've booked with them directly and I have bid on rentals. Bidding can be a bit random...

    Who do I need to sleep with to get and Elsa dress!?!

    I'd suggest contact a seller on Etsy and see if they can get something to you within your time frame. You might have to pay a bit more for shipping or for the seller to express make something. (I waited until the last minute recently for a gift and the seller was more than happy to work...

    Are Frogg Toggs worth it?

    We love our Frogg Togg Towels at Disney. We started with just one, but the kids where fighting over them, so we have bought additional. They can be re-wet during the day to re-activate the cooling. They also aren't drippy like a wet towel. I don't like being hot at all, and these...

    First time in a long time. ADRs after break?

    Hi- I'll share what I know about that week, since I'm planning for the same week and this will be our 3rd time going during September/October. My DS is 10 and DD will be 6 at the time of the trip. We've never used Park Hoppers on any of our trips. It seems like it would be a waste with...

    To anyone that has been to Disneyland

    We have traveled out to Disneyland several times and stayed at a few different places. We typically fly into either John Wayne (SNA) or Long Beach. Our last trip we used SNA. It's a Southwest Hub. I've used Super Shuttle for transportation and been pleased with the service at SNA...
