    How much does the Princess Half Marathon affect EPCOT?

    A few months ago I booked a weekend birthday trip to WDW for February 20-23, 2020. I just now realized the Princess Half Marathon are those exact dates :eek:. I see the race starts and ends in EPCOT, which is one of the two parks we are visiting. Our visit to Animal Kingdom thankfully won't be...

    Have you ever been TOO DISNEY for family?

    I completely relate. I'm planning a birthday trip with 3 of my best friends next year. One has only been to Disneyland, one has been to Disney World when she was a kid and has very little memory, and the last has never been to any of the parks. They seem excited about going, but I'm holding back...

    Peter Pan to Be Our Guest - Timing

    The "unwritten" rule is that you can enter the queue 5 minutes before your window and 15 minutes after. Peter Pan's Flight is supposedly 3 minutes long. You could enter at 9:10 and probably call it close to the BOG reservation.

    What would you do? - Value verses Moderate Resorts

    I've never stayed at AOA so I'm not sure what it's like.

    First Time in DW Orlando from Overseas, looking for tips !

    Okay now I see, that makes sense. Now that I think about it, I walk past the US Pavilion each time I visit. Yes, the Mexico pavilion is very pretty inside.

    What would you do? - Value verses Moderate Resorts

    I agree. I would go with gift cards instead of dining plan.

    What's your "go to", "cannot miss" meal at the world.

    We make sure to eat lunch at Grand Floridian Cafe every time we visit. We also get a dessert at Les Halles each visit to EPCOT. Other than that, we try to eat somewhere we've never tried before.

    What would you do? - Value verses Moderate Resorts

    I personally do not enjoy staying at the value resorts. However, you said you can stay an additional two days if you stay at a value. That right there would make me choose Art of Animation so I could stay longer. It will also have the Skyliner at the time of your visit.

    Short Presidents Week Hours

    I've never gone in February before, so I'm not sure what crowd levels are like. That week is pretty bad crowd-wise? My birthday is on the 19th so I was going to celebrate in WDW 2/20 - 2/23. I thought going after President's Day would be better than going on actual President's Day weekend.

    News Improvements coming to the entrances of all four Walt Disney World theme parks

    Any chance the MK and AK entrances will be complete by November?

    First Time in DW Orlando from Overseas, looking for tips !

    I'm interested in why you skip the U.K. pavilion? Is it because it's too cliche looking and not accurate?

    Fop restraints painful for kids

    The first time I rode FOP, the restraint was too tight. It pushed me up against the front and I felt like I couldn't breath well. The second time I rode, I made sure to push back against the restraint as it was going into place so that I wouldn't be squished between the front and the restraint...

    Best must see Christmas decorations, parks and resorts!

    Resort hopping is the best during Christmas time. Each resort has their own themed decorations. Grand Floridian has a life-size gingerbread house with an actual store inside. You can't go inside, but the cast members are inside with a cash register. Beach Club has a gingerbread carousel and...

    First Time in DW Orlando from Overseas, looking for tips !

    Our trips are going to be around the same time. I will be at WDW November 14-18. Resort: I have stayed at POFQ and really liked the theming. However, the Art of Animation will have the new Skyliner gondola system open by the time you visit. That would be another form of transportation for you...

    What are your go-to FP+ selections at each park?

    My past trip to EPCOT we rope dropped Frozen and then walked to Soarin right after. It was only a 10 minute wait for Soarin by the time we made it there. Then we had the FP for Test Track around 10:30. That schedule really worked out for us.

    What are your go-to FP+ selections at each park?

    We basically have the same selections except for Splash!

    What are your go-to FP+ selections at each park?

    What are your first three FastPass selections at each park when you visit? I always find myself choosing the same three each time. I'm curious what rides everyone else prioritizes. Mine are: Magic Kingdom - 7DMT, BTMR, Peter Pan's Flight EPCOT - Test Track, Living with the Land, Spaceship Earth...

    Where to spend our extra day? MK, Legoland, or Universal?

    I completely agree that Magic Kingdom can take two days to see everything. If your kids are into character meet and greets, I suggest making a reservation at a restaurant in the park that has character dining such as Crystal Palace or Cinderella's Royal Table (if you can afford it and can find...

    Where to spend our extra day? MK, Legoland, or Universal?

    You mentioned your kids don't like large roller coasters. If that's the case, Universal is not the place for them. I think the one day is fine since they want to see both Harry Potter parks and that should fill up your entire day. I definitely suggest Animal Kingdom or another day at Magic...
