Cool! Nashville is booming like crazy these days which is good and bad. But at least now we have high quality places to eat/drink/be entertained. The stout was not as smooth as a Guinness...definitely had a bite to it, but it was pretty good. And like I said, I was surprised it was so...

Some concluding thoughts... Apps. We obviously used the My Disney Experience App before and during the trip. It took me a few days to realize the map function on the app was actually real-time and tracked your movements (relatively well) to guide you to a destination. We did notice that MDE...

I guess I should clarify, Stacy at BoG said the best option was MS Emporium for clothes although the certificate was good for anywhere in the park. She said based on her previous experience, the closest stores to BoG didn't have "everyday" kind of clothes and Emporium was the best bet. My wife...

We really liked the BBQ at Castaway. They didn't have the ribeye in the family area and I'm somewhat glad to hear we didn't miss anything there. I think I went back for seconds for the mahi and rotisserie chicken there. It was easily the best buffet we had on the cruise. I hate your Palo...

Day 5: Magic Kingdom & Be Our Guest Breakfast The final day: Be Our Guest breakfast and a half day at Magic Kingdom! We woke up early and loaded up the van to be ready to pull out as soon as our MK time was up. We took the bus to MK since we had an early ADR at BoG at 8:05. The Disney...

I think the non-homosapiens are probably much easier to deal with. :) Thanks! I appreciate y'all following this.

Day 4: Epcot, Food & Wine, and relaxing at Wilderness Lodge Thursday I’d planned a full day at Epcot for Akershus Princess Breakfast and Food & Wine Festival; however, we all agreed that since we still hadn’t actually been to the resort pool we needed to call an audible and scale back at Epcot...

Agreed on the suggestion of finding a reliable way to get to MK that early. We took the bus from Wilderness Lodge and had no issues arriving on time for our 8:05. If you preorder, that will help. They get the food out to you very quickly. Assuming you eat quickly and don't hang around long...

Day 3: (continued) Bippity Boppity Boutique at Magic Kingdom After rushing and rushing, we made it to BBB in MK just in time for our appointment. BBB is quite an experience…the girls loved it. But boy can it get pricey. And crowded. Once again, I was thankful we purchased the Photo Pass...

Seems like I read about that. Maybe it was just my mental state, but the first drop definitely seemed like the worst! Thank you. I was pretty impressed with the beer selection at WDW. The Beers and Ears app came in handy. More on that later. Ha! Thanks...more of those to follow. And...

Day 3: Hollywood Studios This day was a busy one: Hollywood Studios in the morning and back to MK for Bippity Boppity Boutique at 5:00. Our FPs for HS were Toy Story, ToT, and Frozen Singalong for the wife and youngest /Star Tours for me and the oldest. We arrived at HS for rope drop. I...

Yes, you can get wet on it, especially if you sit on the front row. We sat on the 2nd row and got a few drops, but nothing major. The family in front of us got much more wet. Not drenched, but enough for the father to be kind of upset about it. I guess he wasn't expected it? Then again...

( Go Redlegs! We are from Nashville, which is about 11 hours to Orlando without stops or 12 hours with only quick stops (I was pretty proud of our return trip back at 12 hours!). So I guess you can tack on another 4+ or so? I would guess it's do-able but honestly we decided this time that...

Day 2: Magic Kingdom & Boma for Dinner Day 2 was the one I had been looking forward to for nearly 10 months…watching the wonder on the girls’ faces as they entered Magic Kingdom for the first time! Our FPs were for Space Mountain, Peter Pan, and 7DMT. We took the ferry from WL to MK at 8:30...

Day 1: (continued) Wilderness Lodge & Whispering Canyon Here’s where we ran into our first disappointment with Disney. So the morning agent told us to come back at 3:00 even if we hadn't received the text saying our room was ready. After spending the day at AK, we were anxious to get back to...

I'll post more about it, but we really loved just about everything about it. I've had the opportunity to stay at the El Tovar Lodge in the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon Lodge and they did a fantastic job of capturing that spirit. I never got tired of seeing that lobby. I took a few moments at...

Day 1: Animal Kingdom We dropped the bags off with the bellhop and pre-checked in at the counter. The agent told us to check back at 3:00 if we hadn’t already received the text that our room was ready. We spent a few minutes walking around the atrium before taking the bus off to Animal...

I know the vast majority of you guys don't know me, but I thought I'd share my experience from last week's WDW trip primarily to help other Disney newbies like myself. Sometimes planning a trip without having any frame of reference except for websites often geared towards true blue Disneyphiles...

We just got back from our first time trip. Our biggest oversight was not building in down time to relax. Try not to do too much...give yourself a half day every other day to just chill. My wife rode with her glasses and took them off on Rock and Roller Coaster, ToT, and maybe Space Mountain...

We had BoG reservations at 8:05 on a Friday and were in front of the Castle at 8:00. There were at least 2 Disney photographers along Main Street in front of the castle at that time of the morning. Shouldn't have a problem...
