It's my favorite too! It's my first visit with my kids and trying to make it extra special for my daughter by figuring out what she will like best. I don't think she will be scared by anything in Fantasmic. She is much more likely to be afraid of a ride than anything "dark/scary" in a show.

She does love the characters, but there is also something about about seeing a fireworks show at the castle. If it were just me, I prefer Fantasmic!, but I'm trying to think about it from the perspective of a 3.5 year old. The good news is that we plan on heading back at least annually so...

Debating whether to do the (a) HEA dessert party or (b) Fantasmic with my to be 3.5 year old (her first trip). We only have room in the schedule for one of them. Thoughts on which way to go?

What an awesome trip! I hope my upcoming November trip for my kids first visit (they will be 13 months and 3.5 y/o) is just as magical!

I've never seen those pjs before, but my daughter would love them. Guess what I'm going to look for online now ...

Completely agree. I am a relatively new parent (have a almost 3 y/o and a 5 month old) and before I had kids, my Orlando visits had slowly switched over the years from all WDW (or all but a day in Universal) to my last pre-kids visit which was all Universal except for 1 day at MK. Universal...

That is good news. Which days of your trip were you able to book the morning FOP FP+ (ie first day, second day, etc)?

From what I have been reading from various posters, I think it will be a challenge for you to get a morning FP for FOP on a 2.5 day visit. I am going in November and from what I have learned from reading other posts, it looks like a late afternoon FOP FP for Day 2 will be possible and a late...

We were very happy spending 3 days at Universal, but I think it depends on one's approach. We went to the parks for a few hours in the mornings, had lunch and pool time in the afternoon at the hotel, went back to the parks for a couple hours late afternoon, and then had dinner at Citiwalk. We...

That's what I did when I went with my extended family of 6 adults an 3 kids (ages 5, 7 and 10) in 2014. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel and all had a blast! 3 days with the Express Pass was a great way to leisurely explore both parks. Note - Volcano Bay was not open when we were last there...

Looks like a good plan to me. As pointed out by another poster above, you may need to adjust based on FP+ availability. I suspect you will want FP+ for FOP at AK and Slinky Dog at DHS and those may be tough to get for morning times. Also, you didn't ask, but I think you will want at least 2...

You likely know this already, but unless the AK FP+ rules change before your visit, you will not be able to book a FP+ on Flight of Passage and a FP+ for Na'vi River Journey for the same person ahead of time (you will need to pick one or the other). You could split your party up and some adults...

This reminds me of when a Domino's delivery guy knocked on the door of my math class Freshman year of high school with a bunch of pizzas and said someone ordered the pizzas for delivery to this room. Our teacher told the delivery guy he had the wrong place ... at which point a student stood up...

We will be at Bay Lake Tower ... so based on your experience, it sounds like we will most likely be last after the CR.

We are staying at Bay Lake Tower. Do you know the general trends for that route? ... not holding you to anything :)

I have been on DME without young kids many times and never paid attention to the drop-off order or what time I arrived at my resort. In November I will be heading to WDW with a 1 year old and 3.5 year old and now a long time on the bus won't be quite as relaxing as it was on those other trips...

A few more thoughts: (1) Will you have a rental car? If not, the cost of a cab or Uber to go back and forth to Universal two days will most likely exceed the cost of a cab to Universal once plus a cab from Universal to the airport. I have done three trips where I split my stay between WDW and...

What time of year? Also, you didn't ask this, but did you consider staying on-site at Universal for your first (or last) 2 nights? There are some perks (varies by Universal site as to which get early Potter admission and which get early Potter admission plus free express passes) to staying...

The OP was talking about 5 park days or 6 park days (not 3 vs 5).
