I didn't go to Disney until I was an adult... however, my first time there I was scared of Soarin'. I skipped it my first trip there. Then our second trip, I talked myself into riding it. I figured if I hated it, I could just close my eyes and never ride it again. I am so glad I rode it! It is...

I should have mentioned having a kitchen and laundry in room are important to us. So while I LOVE the Poly, it doesn't make sense for us until maybe the new DVC is open.

Hello, I am within a month of my 7 month window and need help deciding a resort to pick. Traveling on this trip will be: Couple 1 - My cousin and husband Couple 2 - My daughter and fiance and my 2 year old grandson Couple 3 - My huband and self Daughter age 17 I think we all can fit in a 2...

I just got back from my trip with my 14month grandson and 5 year old nephew. We did 2 days at Magic Kingdom. One day was a non-party day and we stayed until fireworks were done. The park was PACKED that day. Like Pirates and Jungle Cruise were 2+ hours by 10am. It was absolutely insane. (We did...

Hello all, We are very excited for our upcoming family trip. My daugher and her boyfriend are coming and we are bringing the boyfriends nephew, age 5. What kind of travel documents do we have to have for the nephew since neither parent will be with him? Just his birth certificate? Something...

I am in a DVC group on Facebook and while I haven't used them, everyone on the group gives them rave reviews.

You will be able to book your own LL and dinner reservations. The only thing the owner would have to do for you is book a dining plan, but that isn't even offered right now, so kind a mute point.

Try to get pictures with as many "Walls of Disney" as you can. My teen daughter enjoyed that a few trips ago. The "Purple Wall" is probably the most famous, but there are several others if you google a list.

Another option... save the $500 and stay at Pop. But when it is time to go to a park that you would have to use the Skyliner, use the $500 that you saved and get a minnie van. (or Uber or Lyft, but you get the idea).

Have you seen any pictures or videos of the refurbished 2BR villas? I have seen studios and 1BR, but not 2BR yet. Our 7th month window is right around the corner and I would love to some pics!

Great trip report - thank you for sharing! I am excited to bring my grandson who will be 14 months next October. My youngest is 15 so it has been a long while since I have taken someone so young to Disney. I love your trip report and tips!!!

It is strange to me - we own at the Boardwalk and truly love staying there. But I have never really had much interest in BCV. I think maybe because we don't spend a ton of time at the pools. We haven't stayed there yet, but I don't think it is where we want to stay with 2 kids age 5 and under, I...

I talked to my daughter last night - She really wants to stay in the MK area because of daily naps. So BLT, Poly, Grand or WL. The kitchen is actually not as important to her as I thought, she said we could do with microwave and toaster. But she really felt in room laundry was important. (I had...

I hadn't even thought of studios at Poly. I loved staying there. I just thought the kitchen would be a necessity with a 1 y/o... but maybe I have to leave that up to my daughter. My SIL just thinks we are crazy for going back every year... I really want him to love it too. I probably am...

This.... all of this!!!! Our last trip we stayed at Bay Lake. The location, monorail and Steakhouse 71 were awesome. Bay Lake tower felt kind of dull. (Please don't flame me! LOL, I really think I would feel differently about Contemporary vs Bay Lake) We have stayed at Kidani a few times. The...
