    Another 2015 Dopey Challenge Report ...

    Talk about all the emotions involved ... I cried when my husband crossed the finish line at the end of the marathon - he had done the Dopey Challenge as well. I had watched him train for months and months, and seeing him run day by day (and hit the parks afterwards each day!), and then cross...

    Frozen Additions Coming to the Disneyland Resort

    What are the chances that Olaf will continue to meet past May? Also - I wanted to say that the Frozen Sing-Along set-up looks amazing in pictures compared to what we have at WDW! There is a small sign outside the theatre at Hollywood Studios and you walk straight into the seating area. No...

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    Do people scout seats for parades at DL as early as they do at WDW? What are good locations to watch the parades? What kind of lines should we expect to meet Mickey/Minnie? Are character meet and greets going to see comparable lines to WDW? Fast passes for RSR and WOC - anything else...

    I'm Over It

    I know it took years to add all of these ... but Belle has a M&G in France, greets at Akershus in Norway, has Enchanted Tales with Belle, has a show in HS, is seen in the FOF parade, and then of course there is BOG/Beast's castle which is the hardest ADR to get these days. Then there's Ariel ...

    Donald/Daisy at Animal Kingdom

    I have seen different information in different places lately ... Where are Donald and Daisy currently located at the Animal Kingdom? Are they wearing sailor suit and pink/purple or are they wearing AK-themed clothing? Thanks!

    I am interested to see more reviews about this soiree ... I am going in October, and I am still excited about it despite the negative review linked in an earlier post.

    Is the dining plan right for me?

    We have traveled without the dining plan, with the dining plan, and with the deluxe dining plan - I'm a big dining plan fan! Here's why it works for us - character dining. We're going to hit a character meal each morning. Those buffet costs add up quickly. That's not even counting how many table...

    Transportation for Early Breakfast ADRs

    We had several ADR's before park opening when we stayed at Beach Club. We were told there was a bus but had a great CM who gave us more info than just the party line. She told me that there was only one bus coming by for early ADR people so if you missed it, that was it, so she told us we were...

    How are the crowds around Easter/Good Friday?

    Look at dates when you might have holidays that aren't "big" holidays like Easter, etc - many schools have a fall break or a winter break. Maybe you could tag a few days when they are already out and then only miss a day or two rather than a whole week. I would definitely avoid Easter and the...

    Character dining

    My girls have been to most of the character meals - definitely hit Akershus! As much as we love Cinderella's Royal Table, a lot of people prefer Akershus because you see almost the same line-up of princesses but it is a significantly lower price. (If you do go to Akershus, make sure you look...

    Le Cellier vs Yachtsman's

    Location shouldn't factor in because like someone else said, Yachtsman is a super quick walk from Epcot through the International Gateway. On our last trip, we stayed at Beach Club and walked that walk several times - it is quick and pleasant. We have dined at Yachtsman and Le Cellier and I...

    Passing Along The Magic

    I have two daughters and wouldn't mind if the person next to us in line handed them stickers. I would politely decline food (even candy), but stickers would be fine. I do agree with the others that you should be prepared for some parents to be skeptical! There are already cast members that pass...

    OK - So BOG really is good

    I don't know that they would honor a room request, but if you could choose, I would actually not choose the West Wing! It is really dark. That means as people walk through and try to take pictures of the rose, the torn painting, etc, there are flashes going off! I felt sorry for some of the...

    ADR after race?

    Our family will be at WDW in January for our first marathon weekend. I would appreciate any advice on this! My husband and I are both doing the 5k. My parents will be taking my kids to breakfast that morning. What time is reasonable to plan for us to meet up with them for breakfast? I have a...

    That awkward moment...

    When my dining window this week, I crossed my fingers and hit the refresh button over and over and over waiting for 5am, and then when it did, I was SHOCKED that a Be Our Guest dinner time was available on the one night I could make it work ... and I selected it ... and then DONALD appeared...

    Be Our Guest - Counter vs Table

    I have dined at BOG for lunch and for dinner. I actually preferred dinner - We liked getting to meet the Beast. It didn't seem as rushed. There were some nicer things on the menu. BUT having said that, I thought lunch was excellent. You're getting good choices at reasonable prices and you get to...

    Lunch Advice

    Definitely take a break for a nap! The happier (better-rested) the kids are, the longer they can stay and the more PLEASANT they are while they are there!!! We took naps after lunch every day when mine were younger. We pushed through w/o naps on our last trip and it got really tough!

    Disney finds you are packing FOR the trip?

    I would go ahead and pack autograph books - I usually order mine from the Disney Store website (same ones that are available in the park) so when we first arrive, I've already got them in my backpack and don't have to stop in a store and get them. If you don't want those, you can always find...
