    The stuff you need to pack for kids that you forget about

    Sunscreen? I didn't understand why we needed it until we had to hike to the Tower of Terror at high noon.

    Memory maker or not?

    The ride pics also make memory maker worth it. If you're planning to ride 7 dwarves, Space Mountain, Test track, tower of terror, and Splash mountain I think you should look at memory maker. That's at least 5 shots that don't require you to line up for a photopass cm.

    First time with kids

    I recently brought a 7 year old and a 4 year old. We just rented a single and the kids took turns. We did take afternoon breaks though. Also both the 4 year old and the 7 year old enjoyed Hollywood studios because of the muppets, toy story, and Disney junior. It was easier to just keep...

    Sep 2018 Rough Itinerary/Plan - Thoughts/Suggestions welcome!

    My 4 year old and 7 year old enjoyed our character breakfasts. Since they weren't requesting specific characters yet it helped us check off the character experience without having to line up. It was little pricey but the breakfast meals were cheaper. The kids liked Winnie the Pooh characters in...

    I know! I completely understand that "How many days to go" thread now. Maybe we can try one of the Tokyo Disney parks next year.

    I forgot to point that out. Can't believe I missed that after we actually had an I-spy game going with the mural while we were killing time.

    Wow. Are all last full days at the park this bitter sweet. Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day though we were determined to make the most of our one day. Given it was also my 40th birthday the morning had a pretty good start. DD gave me the birthday card she had been working on during the trip...

    EPCOT continued After test track DS needed a hug so luckily we passed by a giant Hug on the way to Soaring. before we flew out for the trip I mentioned I was excited to see Baymax. When DW made the mistake of asking who that was the three of us made it a point to make her watch Big Hero 6...

    She's just says that it's great to see you again too. What have you been up to since you last saw each other. I think I mentioned we had met in 1900 parkfare because she apologized that Prince Charming couldn't be in the Banquet Hall that morning. The kids just ate it up. They keep telling their...

    Day 3. EPCOT Similar to previous days we woke up early due to jet lag and an early breakfast ADR - Akershus Banquet Hall. But today we'd be taking the Monorail to our destination. It was a pretty easy trip. I want to say we left around 730 and made it In time for our 830ish ADR. It was a...

    Snacks You Bring

    For the four of us we share one large water bottle. Quaker breakfast cookies for the adults ( and sometimes kids are willing to eat this). Oreos and chips ahoy come in these resealable plastic cups now that don't get crushed in our luggage. Dried fruit. As my wife pointed out the luggage space...

    Yeah. I think the trick is figuring out when they're about to crash and trying to find a place to rest before that happens. My wife was pretty good about noticing stuff like that and telling me to slow down a little. I lot of our happy memories are also just sitting in a nice little corner...

    Thanks for the support. Yeah. I joke about it now but I could see during the prep interview that he wasn't really ready for it. If the CM had rejected him then I wouldn't have complained. So when he wanted to watch little mermaid I quickly caved in. Hopefully the slot went to a kid who enjoyed...

    DHS continued... As we left the Little Mermaid Show DW noticed how down I looked. To cheer me up she suggested we pass by the Star Wars place she could she across from the theater. It was Launch Bay! And when we got there we found Chewbacca was a 10 minute wait! Everyone agreed to line up and...
