    Suggestions for off-day activities with a 4 yr old

    You should look into activities at the fort wilderness campgrounds. They have a small playground, stables for cinderella's horses, pony rides. You can take a boat ride over from Magic Kingdom. Also fun to go play at the Lego store at Downtown Disney or rent some bikes at the Boardwalk or Port...

    Taking a 6 month old to the "World"

    We took our son @ 8 months and our daughter at 1 year. They both rode everything without a height restriction. Rider swap basically works as an instant fast pass. They give you a rider swap ticket. The first person waits in the regular line (unless you have fast passed). The second rider uses...

    home

    Definitely had Disney withdrawals yesterday after returning from an amazing week. Tried to get some of the feeling back by pushing my big stroller around the neighborhood while sipping coffee from my resort mug...didn't work. Started planning next year's trip today!

    MVMCP is it worth the extra cost?

    We thought it was great! Snow on main street during the parade, hot cocoa, cookies, and light lines for rides. It was a great experience! I would do it again.

    40'' 3 1/2 year old

    We are taking our 3 1/2yo in May. He's reached the 40" mark as well so will be able to experience many more rides than at his last visit. We've been talking about splash, BTM, and TT with him to prepare him a bit. We've also shown him some videos from this site as well as youtube of the rides so...

    Dining Suggestion?

    Boatwright's is not a bad choice, especially for convenience staying at Port Orleans. However, Jiko's is wonderful! The filet mignon with Mac n' cheese is amazing! Best I've ever had. Request to sit at The Cooking Place where the apps and flatbreads are prepared. The cooks can help guide...

    What size stroller?

    Ive seen all sizes of strollers on the busses. Anything goes as long as you can fold it up. You just keep it with you sitting or standing.

    The Number One Coffee at WDW.

    I would agree with the Kona coffee from Poly. You can get a full batch of yummy French press from the Kona Cafe or stop at Kona Island for a to go cup. Another good spot is the Royal Anandapur Tea Company at AK. Good for you and your wife!

    Resort Pools

    The beach/yacht club pool does use a wristband system. Pool hopping is frowned upon as pools are meant for resort guests only.

    Booked Port Orleans for 1st time

    We love staying at Riverside! We've done the mansions and alligator bayou. We prefer the bayou because of all the vegetation. The mansion section is much more open. For dining I would also suggest the create your own pasta at the Riverside Mill. The boat ride to Downtown is convenient and very...
