    Best bags for Disney

    I am the "pack mule" when we go. I take a smaller back pack, smaller than a standard school back pack, that I bought and use for riding ATV. The bag is waterproof, has 2 pockets on the outside for water bottles and has 3 zipper compartments (1 large and 2 smaller). Our last trip there were 5...

    Which is more important to you?

    I would say amenities is more important. We were only in our room to sleep and relax while our DD took her nap. We were staying in a family suite at AoA and the resort had only been open for about 8 months at the time, so we have plenty of space in the room and the room hadn't had time to get...

    To hop or not to hop :(

    We always hop. Our last trip was 8 days/7 nights, we did 6 day tickets. We would be at a park in the morning for rope drop and then somewhere between 11 to 1 we would go back to the resort, eat lunch and let our DD nap. After nap time some days we would go to the pool and other days we would...

    Art of Animation family suites

    On our Feb 2013 trip stayed in one of the Lion King suites in building 10, for us it worked out great! We had 5 people, my DD, DW, myself and then also my parents. My DD wanted to sleep with grandma so they took the sofa bed, my dad slept on the murphy bed table, so my DW and I got the...

    Thinking About Getting A Travel Agent! Is It Worth It?

    When we were booking our Feb 2013 trip I priced out everything off Disneys site myself, then I called a TA that I had heard some very good things about. I got the price back from the TA and it was actually cheaper because she knew of a discount that was available, so we booked with her, then...

    Is There A Slow Time At Walt Disney World?

    We have friends that are at WDW right now, it is the first trip for all 3 of them. He called me on Thursday with a couple little questions about the parks and transportation. I asked him how busy they were, he said that longest wait they had so far was 45 mins on Soarin (on Wednesday) but he...

    art of animation....little mermaid...

    It is a little bit of a walk, but not too bad. We were at AoA Feb of 2013 and stayed in one of the Lion King suites, we had 3rd floor right next to the stair way and could see the bus stop from the room window. But we walked the entire AoA resort a couple of times and even from the furthest...

    How far in advance?

    I want to say that I remember seeing somewhere that you can book a room up to 500 days in advance. This past Tuesday I was talking to our TA about booking our Feb 2015 trip. She said that right now she could book our room but not the DDP, PH tickets or our plane tickets but that by April we...

    Chefs de France Prix Fixe

    Yes it is, I also have to say that the French Onion soup is probably the best part of the meal! The rest of the meal, short ribs and desert were good also, but that soup was great!

    First Day: Full day or do you ease into the magic?

    Our last trip was my first in 14 years and it was also my DD and DW first ever trip to WDW. We got to AoA about 2pm, got checked in and then walked the resort. We then went to the room and let our DD (then 3) take a nap, our luggage showed up about 1.5hrs after us, so we changed and grabbed a...

    DME Anything we should know....

    Yes you can go to luggage claim and get your bags yourself. But if you have your bags marked with the yellow tags you can bypass the luggage and just go right to the DME area, your bags will then arrive in you room about 2 hours after you do, ours got there about 1.5 hrs after us. DME is a...

    Is There A Slow Time At Walt Disney World?

    We were at WDW the second week of February of 2013 for 8 days/7 nights, prior to that my last 3 trips were over Christmas and New Years, so it was almost like a ghost town in comparison. LOL... But although I wouldn't say that it was "slow" at the parks it was by no means crowded, there were...

    Another visit? Got new discount PINS today

    We just got our PINS yesterday, unfortunately we are not going back to WDW until February 2015. Hopefully we will get more that will include those dates in the future. I will have to try planning a trip and saving it, hopefully that will get us more PINS.

    Park Hopping vs One Park a day

    I think it all kinda depends on the kid to be honest. I know when my boss was at WDW in 2012 with his then 10 and 6 yo DDs they did pretty much the same thing we did, they are going back in late March and doing about the same thing as far as I know. We saw and did every ride that we wanted to 2...

    Park Hopping vs One Park a day

    We have always park hopped. We would plan out our schedule around the EMH and what dining reservations we have made. When we were at WDW in Feb 2013 with our DD (3yo at the time) we would be at the our park of choice right away when the gates opened, then around 11 or noon go back to the...
