thanks! we are thinking the same thing. I am curious about the crowds as well.

I have a dining reservation for 50's Prime time cafe at 5:30pm. Is the park closing going to interfere with it? I know if I have a late reservation at the end normal hours and we don't finish until after park closing I am good, we just have to leave the park when we are done. I am hoping that...

Thanks for all of the info!

I have a bit of a complicated birthday cake question. In the past, we went to 50's prime time for one of my kid's birthdays. Well, I had not pre ordered a cake, but I asked the staff if they could bring one and they did. This cake was for a child with severe nut allergies (all nuts!) and they...

It was rather brutal. I was in magic kingdom right before fireworks and was getting shoved along. I am not a small person by any means, I am over 6'2" and 275 pounds. I got separated from my family, they retreated to the bakery, and I was stuck in the flow of people . As I was getting shoved...

I have been in August, towards the end of the month and It does get warm, and you can expect a rain burst almost daily. The bright side is the rain is usually quick! I went in The beginning of November last year. The crowds were just as bad, if not worse than August. We are from New Jersey...

First time my family went to Disney, all 9 of us, we were staying in a villa at Saratoga Springs and I made a very early breakfast reservation at o'hana. Well my reservation was the first one of the day, which apparently is before the busses could get me there. The cm at Saratoga told us to...

That is what I figured. I am going to be there for 9 days, so I was thinking of trying to get a room near someplace to do laundry so we don't have to pack as much.

I am near the time when I can check in online to stay at the contemporary. I have been to Disney recently so i am familiar with the parks, but I am trying to figure out two things. 1. Is there any drawback to doing online checkin? 2. Any pointers on room requests for staying at the...

I am fine with that, but I wish the booking agent at Disney would have mentioned that when I booked. I would have called immediately when the package was available. I did not realize that other rooms had to be available to get the promo rate for my room, so I called about 2 weeks after it was...

I booked very early at the contemporary and there was a package made available that was lower after I booked. When I called to get the lower price I was told it was not available to me because the contemporary was all booked for my stay. Meaning there were no open rooms there available for the...

I have been to Disney before, but someone else has always taken care of the house keeping tip. I am staying at the Contemporary for 8 days and I am not sure how much to leave for house keeping. And do I leave it everyday or at the end? I don't want to see any of the workers miss their part of...

Fun videos! 92 days to go for us. Kids are already planning the days!

I always go with the quick service plan. It works out great for us, but I usually go with 4 adults and 3 children. If we have any leftover snacks at the end, we load up for the plane ride home, or to give to my nephews and nieces when we get home. I did notice this year they changed the plan...
