    So why weren't there many strollers back in the day?

    1/3 of the kids weren't also obese back then and were in better shape.

    So why weren't there many strollers back in the day?

    I've heard so many people say, but my 5, 6, 7, 8 year old can't walk that much. What??? In the 80's no one that age was in a stroller. We all made it through Disney just fine. They also didn't make strollers big enough for kids that old. Once you were out of the umbrella stroller, you were...

    Night parade MK?

    Yeah, I see them doing something like Disneyland 60th, and holding off on a night parade until then. It's just not a trip without an electrical parade. It's what makes them different than other parks.

    Is wdw worth visiting for teens/adults

    three of my college-age nieces went for the first time this last year, because they had friends working in the college program, and loved it. They went back and took their 17 and 15 year old Sisters, and they loved it as well.

    Making Memories. Your First Trip.. Remember?

    I remember nothing the first time - 1982. Also had the bad bowl cut! Started growing the sides longer. Remember when you didn't wait in a line to meet a character?

    Disney dining plan, is it worth it...?

    Depends on your eating style. I don't eat huge meals, multiple snacks a day. I don't drink alcohol. I get a cheeseburger with no fries for meals, and am charged the children's price. I don't have dessert at every meal. For me, it's better to take the room discount for sure! Plus we never...

    A long time Disney fan turns sour!

    It's the planning that's sucked some of the magic out of a vacation there. I don't want to plan 6 months ahead what day I'm going to spend at which theme park. I really enjoyed my last trip at Disneyland because I could get dinner reservations the day before and there was no, we have to get to...

    How do you manage different preferences?

    Compromise. If you go out to eat 6 times, he picks 3, you pick 3. If you sit for a parade, you shop while he holds your seat. Fly mid-day. Tell him you will go on 5 rides 2's, pick his favorite. Go once when he wants, then go when you want the next time, or just pick a moderate temp. It...

    Rides and Disabled

    For most rides, like ToT, they will let you get wheeled to the entrance or que right in front of the vehicle, then a cast member will take your wheelchair to the exit or off to the side. We do it all the time. Can go on every ride if you can walk a couple of steps. They ask on each ride if you...

    Is Disney expensive?

    I just order a burger, no fries. They take a couple of bucks off, give me a kids meal price.

    Would it still be magical to use a standard wheelchair in the parks?

    wheelchair makes it more magical for me. I have fatigue issues, and still can only do a couple of hours at a theme park a day. it's not too hard for my husband to push, was much worse at the DC's zoo this last month. At mostrides, they will ask if you can take short steps, to get on the...

    Resort TV - HDMI ports? Apps?

    just a warning, I brought an HDMI cable down before and connected it to my iPad, and the internet was slow, so watching videos often had a lot of lag.

    How accurate are crowd calendars?

    Pretty accurate. They often will show how close they were in wait times the next day, and a lot of days I will see them spot on, or a couple of rides that were 10-15 minutes off. A lot of people go to the parks with magic hours, and even if the plans says go to other parks because they will be...
