Thanks everyone, this is very helpful.

It's been 6 years since I've been to WDW so I'm trying to sort out all this new fast pass plus mechanics. My question is, if you make 3 advance fast pass reservations at one park and you use them and then move on to another park later in the day, can you make additional fast pass res at a kiosk...

I have to say Shades of Green, where else can you stay for $89 a night that is so close to everything and yet it seems a world away when you need a break? We are blessed to enjoy SOG due to my husbands years of service in the Coast Guard. Over the years we also got to stay at, in order of...

Since you will be at Contemporary you might want to check this out. I just found out about it as I was looking at free things to do at WDW. There is a butterfly garden on the left side as you walk out the back of the lobby towards the pool and the lake. There is also a gardening hotline 407 938...

The Matterhorn is a great ride. We were there when this happened and I think Disney is just super cautious now about everything because of the injurys (and deaths ) that have occured. Also noticed on the Jungle Cruise that CM's were putting there hands on every passenger coming on and off...

Just got back from LA. Rode the new Space Mountain Friday morning around 9am. We had a 20 minute wait.. It was great! It is so much smoother, the sound system is excellent and it is a lot of fun. Waits got up to 80 minutes later in the day. It was our last day at DL and the highlight of our...

Be sure to rub the apple at the entrance to Snow White and look up at the window directly above the entrance!

Thanks for your reply. Do you think there's any chance of a soft opening on Friday July 1?

What are your thoughts about the 4th of July weekend? Is there a good chance of soft openings then? We'll be there June 27th until July 4th but will be in SoCal until the 5th so we could save a day on our hoppers and come back over the weekend. I had hoped to avoid it, thinking it would be...

Great this means I will catch it on my trip to DLP the first week of July. I will be able to compare it with the show at AK.

Thanks, Dirk! What a complete reply! I am really getting excited now. This is thread drift for sure but since you are from Germany I thought'd I'd ask. We will be arriving in Frankfurt from the US and are thinking of spending a few days on the Rhine. I found the Auf Schoenburg Castle...

Thanks for all the tips. I'm sure I will enjoy it. I'm interested in the Blue lagoon restaurant. Does anyone know how to make reservations in advance?

Wow! I'm going to have to book us a trip!

Thanks for all your replies. I think we have settled on addiing two nights at a hotel at DLP at the end of our week in Paris. We will probably do Versailles and perhaps another day trip from Paris so several family members don't want to use up more of their Paris days. So now the question is...

It looks like I'm actually going to Europe for 3 weeks this summer. We'll spend a week in Paris and try to see some more of France and Germany and perhaps Belgium while we're there. How long do you really need to do the 2 parks in late June, early July. Is it worth it to stay at one of the DL...
