    So you always need to have your smart phone with you?

    I know. Carry the phone in airplane mode so it won't go off/ring/buzz. If you need it reference a fastpass issue, pull it out, take it off airplane mode, and use it.

    Aladdin's Flying Carpets

    It could have a motion sensor that triggers it for accuracy. Also, this way it won't spit all night.

    So you always need to have your smart phone with you?

    I think everyone needs to remember this is still Beta testing. This means disney is still working out the bugs of the system. Most smart phones have an airplane mode. :):)

    New here, contemporary question

    If you can upgrade to park view you will be able to see the magic kingdom and watch the fireworks from your balcony. I don't know if this is in the budget for you, but it does heighten the experience. You can see the castle from your hotel room (and request a high floor).

    who in the world waits 4+ hours for a ride?

    An image just popped into my mind of the CM who has to carry the sign with the rides name (POTC) standing out in the middle of adventure land marking the END of the queue line last week when I was there..... We walked right past it laughing as we headed to the exit at 2pm. Had been there since...

    "New" Refillable Mugs.

    However, the machine only allows you to refill so much at a time. Meaning don't try to buy one mug and fill 4 paper cups up back at your table. The machine monitors the volume of soda you are receiving as well and will cut you off if you are obtaining too much product too rapidly. One lady next...

    Help with Miami port

    To the OP: If you are looking for something to do close to the port, walk around Bayside. It's a lot of shops and restaurants that you can hang out at. It is just a short cab ride from the port. Very popular.

    Over 15 visits, but first time with < 3 yr olds

    With the young ones I would advise getting to the park early and head back to the hotel around 2pm. Relax, nap, eat, and go back to the park in the evening hours refreshed. This will help keep their energy up and avoid the worst crowds of the day. The kids will appreciate this broken-up day.

    Need a Stroller for a 4 year old

    We always bring out Maclaren fold up stroller. Good for the weight and provides a bit of storage and has a built in canopy for the child. Plus it can recline.

    The Mountains, appropriate for a 6 year old?

    We got our 7 year old on BTMRR by starting him on Barnstormer. He was reluctant to even go on that, but his 3 year old brother wanted to go so he felt obligated to go so he wouldn't be beat out by his younger brother. Once he did the barnstormer he was excited to do the bigger rides, or as he...

    Christmas at the parks

    That's great! We were there 12/25 through 12/28. We were at the park for AM EMH and out by 2. Then we returned at night after dinner. Completely missed the crowds and on the night of 12/27 there were EMH to 3am! From 12am-3am no waits! The kids did fine with this because we all slept from...

    Magic Bands and cards?

    Just some info: I had MB and preset all my Fastpass + selections. On the third day I had selected FP for Hollywood Studios. Later that day we went back to MK and I was able to get FP for Buzz Lightyear SRS with my actual annual pass card. Don't know if this was because my FP+ selections were...

    Engagement help needed

    Why don't you start by calling resorts around the lagoon like Grand Floridian or Contemporary and asking about boat rentals. That lagoon will also give you the castle backdrop.

    "New" Refillable Mugs.

    I liked how now when you try to fill a non-valid mug or cup the machine talks and says the cup cannot be filled and go speak to a cashier. People are embarrassed and walk away in a hurry. You know those are the people with old mugs or paper cups. HaHa!

    Downtown Disney & parking in January

    Just came back yesterday. The lot closures are a nightmare for the traffic. Friday night they had hordes of guests crossing from the cast member parking lots to DTD. The lane closures and lot closures were really bad. We left and returned the next morning. Buses seemed like they were working...

    is linking Magic Band same as activating Magic Band

    Just to let all know, we had new annual passes purchased online that I linked to our bands prior to the trip. When we went to enter the MK we got directed to guest relations because I only has the online verification paper and the park had to "activate" the annual pass. We had the passes linked...
