    Hey old timers! Tell us your early WDW memories.

    I can't even remember the damn year I first went. Mid 80s, couldn't have been older than 10. I remember sirens going off when my father passed through the turnstile. He won a pin. He let me choose from the selection: I got very emotional thinking about this. I would pay $1k for the...

    Disney cuts or just the season?

    My Disney crew, currently in Disney without me, informed me that MK closes at 10PM. Right after the fireworks. Is this normal for this time of year? Also, EMH for Pandora only. When I heard that, I actually said, "Well, I guess I'm going to Universal next time."

    Epcot New York

    If you want Disney, go to Times Square.

    Epcot New York

    It's a 20 minute train ride from Times Square on a good day. Just like a Disney shuttle.

    Pre-Trip Yep, we're really going in July.

    I love Disney in July. BOG lunch is just ok. Never tried Ohana's. Thumbs down for Cape May, as with any Disney buffet. I'd rather have one delicious serving than loads of mediocrity. Thumbs up for Via Napoli and 50s PT. I always have to throw in a recommendation for Whispering Canyon.

    Can I Sneak a Guest Not on Reservation into my Disney Hotel?

    No one is going to pay any attention to your husband.

    When was your last visit to WDW?

    July 2014, from which I declared a return in 2018. I've had a Disney itch that popped up early last week which actually had me contemplating maybe 2017, but there are other places I'd like to visit. The only way I would go annually is if I lived in FL.

    One more Table Service

    Boat. Bus. Doesn't matter, though bus is slightly faster. Take one there, one back. The resort is very close to MK and worthy of a little exploration. If you don't have a character meal already planned you may want to do that for the kids.

    I second this.

    November '71 Found Footage

    Looks like an AARP outing.

    Link child's MagicBand to gift card?

    You can't set a spending limit on individual bands. A PIN will give her the illusion of autonomy. The only way to give her a lesson on finance is with straight cash. Here's $20. Don't spend it all at once.

    Few Questions!

    All I'm trying to say is that if you're trying to substitute a Dole Whip or Mickey Bar with some trail mix, it's not happening. Any cold lunch you pack in the morning will be warm and mushy by noon. I mean, are you thinking some granola and Chobani for lunch? You're gonna need three meals...

    Disney Quest: Refurbish or Replace?

    I'm all for nostalgia, but I haven't felt compelled to enter. The kids have gone using the MYW vouchers. I don't see a refurbishment convincing me to pay up either way.

    How early to show up for Character Dining?

    You might want to revise that plan. MK 4th of July will close to certain guests by that time. You'll be able to get in, but traffic will be horrific. LOL. You said June, not July. You're looking at a minimum one hour to get from point A to point B.
