    Best night for MNSSHP

    Attended on Tuesday night during first week of October 2019. Place was packed, long lines for candy, we ended up skipping most of the Halloween stuff and rode the rides. Most of them had very short wait line. Watched the parade, stage show and fireworks. This was big change from last time we...

    Magic Kingdom losing evening EMHs?

    I know Disney is a business but it gets hard to take when they hunt everything possible to make a dollar on. I also know lot of people don't understand when people like me complain, so let me give a little background. I took my kids to the kingdom back in 1987 when there was only the MK and...

    Last trip? Too many special events!

    Always get Park Hopper tickets. Have been to MNSSHP and it was worth the money. This is the only time of year that works for us. I love Disney but for me it has come to the point that I don't think it is worth the money for a weeks stay onsite when I can't get in my favorite park at night over...

    Port Orleans Riverside - Alligator or Magnolia?

    We have stayed at Riverside 5 times in the last 10 years. We fell in love with the resort on our first trip and have stayed there ever since. We have always stayed in the Magnolia section so I can't compare the rooms for you. This resort has everything ; nice quick serve area, nice sit down...

    Need a hotel on the way down

    Try Country Inn & Suites. Right off I-75. Plenty of places to eat nearby. We stayed there on our last trip down (2013). Very nice and prices were reasonable. Enjoy your trip

    Connecting Rooms - book on same reservation or not?

    Yes we call Disney and request the connecting rooms and tell them we want to put them under separate reservations. We give them separate credit card info for each room down payment. Then you can finish paying for each reservation later. You do give them the names on each reservation but who...

    Connecting Rooms - book on same reservation or not?

    We always have 2 connecting rooms at Port Orleans Riverside. We have 4 adults and 2 kids. The reservations are always separate. One in my name ,one in my adult daughters name. We have never had a problem getting the connecting rooms. The magic bands only open one room, you tell them who is in...

    Where to stay on our drive down?

    Try Country Inns and Suites. We always leave the day before and stay overnight so that we can get to the World early and refreshed. There are Country Inns in several towns including Ocala. I have never stayed in one that was not nice. Enjoy your trip.

    ? about online check in and credit card

    Should be no problem. Disney does not keep your card number on file once charges clear so you would have to give them the card numbers even if you were using the same card. So use what whichever card you want.
