Arrived yesterday. Pool time, hung at boardwalk and ate a lot. Currently on bus to MK. up 730. Ate at POP walked out right onto a bus!

Bringing my son to school now and picking him up at 11:30am to head to EWR and a quick surprise two nighter at POP! Can’t wait to see the look in his face when I surprise him.

AMJT agree on slower pace, that’s why we’re gonna head back midday to relax. Baby and wife staying home though, just me and my best buddy. Looking forward to time just us two.

Quick background: after having a very difficult 2016/2017 trying to get pregnant, we had our second child (another boy) in November 2017. Our last trip was February 2017, a quick four day trip that saw my wife, my then 5 year old, and my MIL head to the happiest place on earth. We have a five...

I am not a person who buys into media hype or is ultra paranoid, but I am concerned about this only because my wife will be 14 weeks pregnant if/when we go. We plan to fly in Thursday night and back to jersey Saturday night. Once day at MK to show our five year old the Christmas experience...

Tried it. Loved it. Will do it again.

So I leave tonight and have all my dining reservations booked and couldn't be happier with what I got. I check into Contempory tonight and randomly checked last night and saw a random 730 ADR available at Chef Mickeys. This could be an amazing start to my four year old's vacation but then I...

There is something to be said about being able to walk to Epcot, HS, and the activities of the boardwalk all from Beach Club. On top of that the place and pool are gorgeous. I've been to WL, Boardwak Villas, a couple mods, and have a split trip to contemporary and AKL planned, but my first...

I sign up for 30 minute waits all day! Thanks for the info.

I agree. Checking orbitz yielded the same results. Still some fast pass available, but big hitters like test track, 7 dwarves, etc are full. I think that's to be expected a week out though.

my family and I fly in this Friday Night and stay until Thursday. We have a split stay at Contemporary and AKL and just to check (mainly to gauge what's available and therefore how busy) I checked online and only Contempory and WL had rooms available during the time we are there. I think...

Thanks for all the opinions! I actually just found out that I got a big promotion at work so we decided to go all out (as this will Be last vaca for a bit) and book three days at Contemporary to go with the AKL. Very excited to walk to MK.

I actually did check WL and its 100 more a night than AKL. I was shocked by that. I'd more likely do full 5 at AKL.

Taking wife and four year old son on a six night trip in April. Last three nights we will be at Animal Kingdom Lodge for the first time. My son loves animals so I can't wait. Typically stay at WL or Pop. The first three days of trip we will be at MK and Epcot almost exclusively. Trying to...

We have stayed at Wilderness Lodge twice (once in January and once in March during busy spring break) and had zero issues getting to and from the parks. The biggest issue was any bus to downtown Disney, which on both trips we had poor luck with. The boat to MK was a nice change of pace and never...
