    Sharing Breakfast at BOG?

    Breakfast and Lunch are Quick Service, I see no reason why you can't buy whatever you want and share it, Dinner on the other hand is a different thing

    8:05 crystal palace....how long?

    You could be out in 5 minutes if you just have a slice of toast !!! It really is down to you - how much you eat, how long you take over your breakfast and, how long it takes all the characters to visit you. On average we take about an hour

    Can't decide. Epcot or HS

    With a single day ticket I'd go for HS based on the ages of your kids. If you have the Park Hopper you could visit HS in the morning and select FP for your EPCOT favourites later that same day.

    Hoping this timing will work...

    It's going to be tight. Assuming there are no flight delays then in addition to your 9:20 landing you should add time to collect your luggage from the carousels and get on the bus / wait for the bus to leave. Traffic - free flowing or otherwise ? Route - Will your resort be the first drop...

    Question About Change in Late August Operating Hours

    This !!! UK schools finished for the summer at the end of July. Thousands of Brits will be crossing the Atlantic DAILY to enjoy Orlando's attractions until early September and park hours usually increase this time of year. We visited last August and MK saw openings until 2am on some nights...

    Park Savers Tickets

    1) If you're unsure or nobody can recommend a ticket seller - then stay well clear. 2) Any (genuine) WDW ticket can be linked to your MDE - you just need the ticket number

    Afternoon+Evening at MK on a high crowd level

    I've been in August three times - you'll get a 10-20 minute line at park opening and before the main crowds arrive. By late morning you're looking at 60 mins minimum and it increases during the afternoon

    Afternoon+Evening at MK on a high crowd level

    It depends how long you want to stand in line and how long you hope you'll have to explore the rest of the park. August IS VERY BUSY. You'll be looking at Stand-By of 90 minutes each (minimum) for POTC, HM and the M+Gs. Philharmagic could be around an hour.

    Kind of a silly Epcot question

    Why not ride SSE when you enter the park on your way to TT ?

    A day at Magic Kingdom

    Your best way to do this is to get a breakfast ADR at one of MKs restaurants BEFORE the park opens. You can walk up Main St with perhaps only a handful of people on it Usually 8 or 9 depending on season and whether its an EMH day for Resort guests. Check WDWs park hours pages Check the dining...

    External flash - tell me I gotta have it in the bag

    DSLR built-in flash is more than adequate for most WDW photos

    New year trip

    If you're going there to celebrate NYE then expect chaos - anything less is a bonus. Get to your NYE park no later than mid morning or face the possibility of lock down. If you're not going to the parks for NYE then I would go much earlier in December - same lights, parades etc but slightly...

    If you had more $ to spend would you choose a resort upgrade or extra activities?

    We set a budget and stick to it. When we visited in 2008 for Christmas and New Year we saved loads by flying out on Christmas Day - I used that saving and we did a split stay, upgrading to AKL and GF

    How many days

    How long is a piece of string ??? 1) How long since you've last been ? 2) Do you intend to visit all the parks ? (2 days x Mk, 2xEP, 1xDHS, 1xAK, DS, BB, TL etc) 3) Don't forget time away from the parks for naps 4) Build in Rest Days 5) What is your budget ? Have you included meals in...

    20 Days Away! How does this itinerary look?

    Just a couple of observations - As you say, Muppets aren't really worthy of FP (i.e. you're virtually guaranteed to get in the next show whenever you turn up - even August) - Try and change it for Toy Story Mania Change this FP for TT (if possible) and stand in line for SE You HAVE to make 3...
