We just went to Disney and Universal. Two adults and two kids ages 10 and 15. Three days at Universal, five days at Disney. Stayed six nights split between the wilderness lodge and beach club. We spent $7,800 and that's because we had an additional three free nights hotel for our universal days...

Not sure exactly what this means. Can you tell me more? Thanks!!!

Awesome! I'm so excited. Almost as much as my 10-year-old son! He's been to Disneyland two or three times (his dad used to take him, and I took him once when he was 2), but he hasn't been in several years.

It's not that one, it's this one. The pool looks awesome tho: https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/florida/hyatt-regency-orlando/mcoro

I do love those rides at Disneyland. I forgot to mention that I lived in LA for ten years and worked for a Disney-owned company for a couple of years. They gave us free annual passes, so I was a frequent visitor at DL! But I know it's nothing like Disney World. I can't wait.

No, since I booked my trip only six weeks before we leave, I just check available reservations each morning around 7 am ET and that one popped up with an opening.

Yes, that's why I specified Magic Kingdom. I went to Epcot once, for one day, when I was 21. :)

We are vegetarians, and my husband has an interest in being vegan, so we're just using the meal with Chef TJ to explore fun vegan options. We're staying at WL for two nights and going to MK two days, altho I'm thinking maybe we'll pop over to HS early on June 10 because it has an early opening...

What I decided to do was follow the advice of the wise individuals that suggested I keep the work portion of my trip as easy for me, since I'm working, as possible. We'll stick to the Hyatt Regency hotel I have booked for work, since it's a five-minute walk to the convention center, but I cut...

Never say never! I'm 50 and I'm finally headed to the Magic Kingdom for the first time. The trip began as a business conference work trip and I added my husband and 10-year-old son to the mix, and then my 15-year-old stepdaughter freed up her time to join us. Now we're planning an amazing trip...

oh, bummer. I'd read positive things about it. :( It's June 9, so it's not an EMH day.

I ended up scoring an 8:10 am BOG breakfast for our trip next month by nabbing a cancellation. MK opens on 9 am that day. I read that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a great ride you can oftentimes jump on with no wait after your BOG breakfast, before the park opens to regular visitors. Does...

Wow, the WDW phone customer service guy was so helpful. He added my stepdaughter to every single FP we had, except the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. and that one he said customer service at the park should probably be able to do for me.

Technically I can go over my per diem, but realistically it's a PITA to deal with because of how my company makes you report it and pay separately, etc. Good points that everyone makes about making my work portion of the trip as easy as possible. One of the reasons the Renaissance Inn up by...

Okay, thanks. I guess I was just thinking about the Disney experience vs. a bland Hyatt Regency hotel experience and how my kids would probably prefer the Disney themed stuff. I would stay at a Universal hotel but they're out of my company's per diem price range of $200 or less. I'm able to do...
