    Does an almost 5 year old need a stroller?

    Just got back from WDW and stay at BWV. Used our stroller every day from the plane trip to walking the boardwalk with our 3 yo. Left in PM for naps and back at night with stroller. My daughter was happier only having to walk in that scorching heat occasionally. stroller provided a shady area...

    Traveling Within Disney's Old Key West

    We stayed there last August andwhile they did not let me choose exactly where I wanted to stay(ie which building or room) they did take a request and move us closer to the main pool and hospitality area. We had to walk about 2 blocks to get there but thge walk was pleasant on wide sidewalks and...

    Weather in August

    We've been twice in late august and the parks are much less busy. I have a 3yo and so we went quite early each morning to avoid the heat. We got there at park opening and did all of Fantasyland with her by 10:45AM. Then back to the hotel for pool, lunch, nap. If we had the energy, back to...

    Starbucks coming to Disney parks

    How about a bunch of different specialty coffees, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and my personal regional fave-- Eat n Park coffee. Seriously, for those of us who really like( and at times) need a good cup of coffee what WDW offersw is woefully lacking. I am also no fan of starbucks or their...

    Old Key West or Saratoga Springs

    To be fair we were at SSR in mid march and OKW late August. Everything was much more crowded in March so that may have been it. I still like the OKW theme better though -- Jimmy Buffett et al.

    Old Key West or Saratoga Springs

    I have stayed at both and found the bus service at SSR to be much worse, longer waits and more crowded. I also did not like the decor as well as at OKW. For smaller kids OKW has more to do.My kids liked the movie, marshmallow roasts and activities at night. Rooms at both are great. There is...

    Sunshine Seasons can't get past smell!

    This has to be one of the weirdest threads on this site I have seen so far. I would think it is an April fools joke but the timing is wrong. Sunshine Seasons smells like spicy- grilled-ethnic-smoky food all mixed together. Really not that different from some mall food courts I have been to.

    Is POFQ geared more towards adults?

    POFQ would be my pick because everything is close to the room- pool, food court, busses. Also is a short wald to RS and the boats are great. I do not think my teen kids care about the arcade at any of the resorts. They have much better games on their cell phones or DSI's. My kids apprec the...

    Big changes coming to FASTPASS in March

    I agree 2 hours would help. I try to shoot for the beginning to middle of the 1 hour window start time now, but miss it about 1/3 of the time. I do not want to feel like I need to run to get there, but do not want to stand around for 30 minutes waiting either, especially when time is so...

    Big changes coming to FASTPASS in March

    I already do the suggestions above. We have never intentionally ignored the return time. I just know that there are multiple road blocks that may pop up(Transportation, bathroom breaks for 3 kids, broken shoelace to name a few) which may delay us by a few minutes. In the past we could still...

    Big changes coming to FASTPASS in March

    I would love to see anyone go from one end of any WDW park to the other in 10 minutes without running. That is silly, especially if you have smaller children. I disagree with the one hour window as well. What will happen with us is we as a famliy will spend less time in the parks. we used to...
