The Magic Kingdom "Casting Agency" door on Main Street. I'm a Casting Director, so I get a kick out of finding "my office" on Main Street. (Of course, there's no such thing as a "Casting Agency" -- Agents are Agents and Casting Directors are Casting Directors -- but who am I to nitpick? ;) )

You're not going to like this but... Avoid alcohol during the day. It dehydrates you and makes you more prone to heatstroke. Bring cooling towels. Take lots of water breaks. You can get free ice water from any quick service spot in Disney World -- take advantage of it! Bring Emergen-C packets to...

What do you think is best: 1) Choosing your FPs first and then planning the rest of your day around that; or 2) Planning your day and choosing FPs for times that fit into your plan? Number 2 can be tricky because you have to jump on the FPs for the A-list attractions and then tweak the rest...

Hi All, Touringplans.com just released crowd calendar updates for the week we are going to Disney World, and they've shot up dramatically, from 4 to 9 in some cases. Numbers generally increased from 5-6 to 8-9. I'm not all that concerned about it but I'm curious -- why such a huge increase for...

It's not about NOT waiting in lines, it's about MINIMIZING lines. There are entire websites devoted to this concept. Not sure why it's considered by some to be unacceptable or inappropriate to try to avoid standing in long lines whenever possible. That said, some of my best childhood memories...

Oh my, yes! I mean, I *think* she will... This is a child who will sit rapt through the entirety of Maleficent and loves to watch classical ballet! True she is usually dancing around WHILE watching it, but... I don't suppose they let you dance in the aisles at the Disney Jr. show?

WL 15th-22nd!

And how helpful people can be with a little compassion and understanding!

Ok I'm a little calmer now. The thing is... it's a bit more complicated than simply getting on nine rides in ten hours. In order to make it all the way to Fantasmic, my kid needs a nap in the middle of the day; so we are really looking at 3-4 hours in the morning and 3-4 hours in the evening...

OK $184, not $200 (three adults, one kid). I've eaten at Brown Derby, it's cute, but it's not worth $184. But like, IS there a bad seat in the house? What's the worst-case scenario?

Guys. I'm trying to sketch out plans in advance so that I can be prepared to select my FPs at the stroke of midnight at the 60-day mark... and Hollywood Studios is giving me acid reflux. With a 3-year-old child, we could easily check this park off the list in one day, IF it wasn't for the...

OK this thread makes me want to rage... But instead, lemme ask y'all this: We are going in mid-August. Do I really need to spend an extra $200 for this dining package and force my diabetic husband and 3-year-old child to eat dinner at 3:30 so we can get a decent seat to Fantasmic? Because I will...

Totally forgot about Single-Rider lines! Good tip. And yes, I'm thinking more and more that a wheelchair might be a good idea... And LO can ride on Grandma's lap if she gets tired, so that's a nice bonus. Thanks for your tips, all!

Oh no way, I won't be waiting until the day of to get the FPs! For one thing, I'm a Virgo; and for another, I know that's not an option because I barely eked out a FP for myself last year when we went in December, and that was at the STROKE of midnight on the 60-day mark! As for the TOT, my...

Hey fellow Mouseketeers, I am planning a 7-day trip to WDW in August with my husband, 3-year-old Villain-loving daughter, and my 63-year-old mom. My mom has never been and I'm a bit concerned that she will have trouble with the physical demands of the trip. She does not need an ECV or a...

We did Tiki beach last Number, and I don't think it was worth it. The staff there isn't particularly friendly, and the food is just okay. And very expensive. If I did that itinerary again, I would probably just pop us into a taxi and go to 7 mile Beach.

We met Rapunzel on a Disney Cruise and I said "What happened to your cute brunette bob?" And she said "Oh, there was just enough magic left from the flower so when it grew out, it was blonde again! But I liked that style, I kind of miss it." I think she said that because she saw my short...

We went Labor Day week in 2013 and it was dead. We walked onto everything. That was before A&E and 7DMT, though... We are going mid-August this year so we will see. I will say that ADRs for popular destinations have been pretty easy to get. Once we're sixty days out it'll be interesting to see...

Yeah Disney needs more villain action. Where's the villain love, Disney?

I would LOVE to hear an update on this every time you go. Please start a thread for this next time so we can all follow along on your P2P Adventure!
