This was our first vacation as a family with kids ages (8,6,6,6). My wife and I had been to WDW several times before. We stayed at AOA with a 7 day pass in late January 2018. Parks Magic Kingdom - 3 days Animal Kingdom - 2 days Epcot - 1 day Hollywood Studio - 1 day Restaurants Reservations...

My kids are ages 8,6,6,6. We plan on staying onsite because we plan to go back to the resort mid day to rest before heading back out for dinner/return to park.

Our family of 6 is headed to WDW for 8 nights in January. We had originally booked preferred rooms at Port Orleans Riverside. However, due to having a family of 6 we were required to book two rooms for 8 nights and it made the entire package very expensive ($10k+ room/food/airfare/tickets)...

But at the same time, even if your getting a surf & turf for $40 instead of $60, it still costs more than eating a $10 cheeseburger. I'm looking to cut down the cost of my trip as it is approaching $9-$10k for 8 days.

Hello, Like many of you, I'm questioning getting the Disney Dining Plan for my family of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids ages 6,6,6,8). We are staying for 8 days and I don't see the value in getting the dining plan. While it may work out that we save a small amount using the dining plan, how much are we...

We plan to stay on-sight for the full experience. Since we are going for 8 days, we plan to do parks in morning/evenings and spend mid days at the resort relaxing and resting. With kids ages 8,6,6,6 it seems mandatory to stay on-sight to have a good experience. As for Dave's DVC rentals, it...

I recently reserved the REQUIRED TWO rooms at port orleans riverside for our family of 6. We are going there for 8 days in January of 2018 staying in the royal rooms with river view. However, the price tag is $4700. With such a huge price tag, I'm looking at a few options. AOA nemo suit is...

Dinner is at 7:40. I was trying for 6:30 in order to be done by 8pm (MK closes on that day at 8pm).

No car. The plan was to be at rope drop and take advantage of early magic hours everyday. For those dinners planned outside of the park, we plan to stay at park till 2 or 3pm then head back to room and rest till dinner between (6 and 8). We are buying an 8 days pass so feel we can do a bunch...

We are staying on Disney Property in January 2018 for 8 days with kids ages 6 through 8. I tried to accomplish 3 things. 1. Have some meals that are kids focused (Food not top priority but expect good food also) 2. Have some meals with food quality as the most important 3. Avoid exotic foods...

I thought about offsite and then decided to spend the extra money to stay on property as this will likely be a once every 5 years vacation. I'm a bit untrusting of DVC rentals and didn't want to mess with vacation insurance.

Hello, We are taking the kids to Disney for the first time (Ages 8,6,6,6) in January 2018. Our budget is pretty large as we've planned to spend about $11k (All expenses considered) for an eight night stay at Port Orleans Riverside. Due to having a family of 6, this required the purchase of...
