    4 days only... please help!

    If you go to the a.m. EMH park, as you rightly say, you have a big decision to make after that first hour. Do you LEAVE with all the other Resort guests enjoying EMH and hope to find a quieter park, or do you STAY, assuming that all the other Resort guests will leave ? As for p.m. EMH, if...

    Airport help

    I've never flown into Sanford, we've always gone into Orlando Int. I hear that the immigration process is quicker at Sanford (it's smaller and there is far less international traffic). However, as you point out, the drive is a lot longer and, as @DisneyJoe correctly says, Disney's Magical...

    Changing Rooms at Blizzard Beach

    Go with your bathing suit on, underneath your regular clothes. This way you don't need to use the changing rooms and just change by the lockers. When you're ready for leaving, dry off in the sun. Use the changing rooms to dry off thoroughly and dress. Shower when you get back to your resort...

    Pre-park open ADR

    Just remember that whatever time you do get in, you won't have the whole park open to explore - it will be roped off. Guests with reservations before you will be allowed in before you - I suggest that you don't arrive any earlier than 8am - most likely you'll get in about 15 - 20 minutes before...

    Best way from Poly breakfast to Epcot

    Twice as long by cab (once it's arrived) however, you can't beat a (free) monorail ride

    AKL (Jambo House) has the one bus stop down the hill from the Lobby & gift shop. The second location to which you refer is the Animal Kingdom DVC (Kidani)

    Travel Time

    RUBBISH - All Resort transportation takes you to the parks. RUBBISH - A sweeping statement with little research behind it. POFQ has one main bus stop. AKL has one main bus stop..... RUBBISH - When we last stayed at POFQ the bus sometimes went directly to the parks and on occasions it picked up...

    Made my FP+ selections.... Need Advice!

    Two observations - 1) The 19th and 23rd see you visiting a water park - yet you're preceding each of these with a Disney buffet breakfast. You're either going to be swimming on a full stomach (not recommended) or you're going to waste money by eating very little. On our water park days we had...

    That is certainly the picture that popped up into my head ;)

    Which to FP+, which to stand-by?

    If you're going to be in the park at rope drop then head to KS with minimal stand by time and FP it as an evening ride

    Date Time Hour

    You will find that there are simply thousands of things that can be done at WDW that "won't take long". My take on your post is the guilt that mum will be alone during this time - you've already mentioned that she thought that you will be abandoning her. Surely as a family holiday, the family...

    Free Dining Plan 2017

    Yes, all our trips have been for 14 days - except Christmas 08 when we stayed for 10. You really can't beat the UK "all inclusive" tickets - and the price is usually pretty competitive as well. Do not assume that your package company has the cheapest tickets - its as well to compare the prices...

    Free Dining Plan 2017

    Hi and Welcome Aboard to a fellow Brit. We did the DP on our August visit last year - it was also free. The main thing to consider is "you have to eat" so why pay for it ? The type of plan you get will (or did) depend on the level of accommodation you get. We stayed in a Deluxe and got the...

    First time Driving

    FLY !!! I can't imagine driving all that way to save a few hundred dollars. Surely you'll be craving sleep when you arrive at Disney, rather than stepping off the aircraft looking forward to a fun filled "dream WDW vacation" And then the prospect of that same long drive back :-(

    Is Epcot a Two Day Park? Or Less?

    It really depends on you !!! Have you been to WDW before ? Have you been to EPCOT before ? If the answer to either is "no" then you'll want at least 2 full days to take it all in, and then probably want to go back for more. If you have been to EPCOT previously, you can tailor your experience...
