    Fantasmic!

    One other thing, we are thinking about doing the Fantasmic Dinner package. On one evening, we plan for sure to eat at Mama Melrose. On the other evening, it will either be 50s Prime Time or HollyWood & Vine. I have never had supper at H&V before, and if they are doing the character supper...

    Trails End is WDW's best kept secret

    I'm thinking about booking this one for our next trip. We ate lunch there on our 2011 trip, and I was not overly impressed. I don't remember eating from a buffet, though. We ordered from a menu and I don't remember a huge selection. Part of it though, may have been that I had a horrible sore...

    Fantasmic!

    We hope to do Fantasmic! on our next trip, next May. Just wanted to know if it is shown every night, or only on certain nights. I think it used to be shown every night a long time ago (back when we saw it the first time), but then I thought they cut it back to one or two nights a week. Does...

    50s Prime Time or Sci-Fi, with a baby

    Thanks for all the input, folks. You have confirmed what my wife and I already suspected, hat which is that between those two places, out better bet would be 50s Prime Time. However, I just realized today that I may have a better idea. I am already planning a breakfast at Hollywood & Vine, as...

    50s Prime Time or Sci-Fi, with a baby

    We plan on taking our newborn on our next trip in May. She will be around 8 months old by then, and I plan two evenings at DHS. We definitely want to eat at Mama Melrose, but as for the other, we are trying to decide between 50s Prime Time and Sci-Fi Drive Inn. My wife seems to prefer Sci-Fi...

    Anyone else save for your trip this way?

    Regarding the gift cards, I agree that it is nigh impossible to spend exactly $50 or $100, but rather than buy things I don't need just to use the card, I expect that our balance will EXCEED that of the gift card and we will just pay the difference. For example, on the way home from our trip...

    Anyone else save for your trip this way?

    But what about the other gift cards, like the Longhorn and Burger King gift cards? Anyone experience any problems with those expiring or devaluing? I work at Walmart and I remember several years ago, hearing that if you don't use a Walmart gift card in a certain amount of time, it starts to...

    Anyone else save for your trip this way?

    We use the Disney Rewards Visa, which accumulates roughly $500 a year in points. So we currently have $500 points to use right now, and should have a total of around $1,000 a year from now when we go on our next trip, which I plan to use for our restaraunts. Another thing I thought of was to...

    Family of 5 in a minivan

    Thanks for all the ideas folks. Obviously, I have a long time to figure it out, but I'm wondering if I could squeeze everything in back where the double seat would fold down and not have to mess with anything on top. Instead of using several small suitcases like we did the past few times, last...

    Family of 5 in a minivan

    We have a third baby coming in August and I am really trying to plan a trip for late May/early June of next year. We have a Dodge Grand Caravan with stow and go seating and previously, we would fold down the back seats and pile all the luggage back there. But now our oldest will be sitting in...

    Wilderness lodge to fort wilderness

    Wilderness Lodge does indeed have their own kiddie/wading pool. We used it when we stayed there in 2011. In any case, pool hopping is not officially allowed, although if you were determined to do it, I'm sure you could get away with it.

    Akershus Royal Banquet Hall before the park opens

    I asked this question once before, but it's been a long time ago, and I can't remember what the answer was. But my question is, since WS doesn't open until 11 AM, for those who do this princess breakfast, do you have to leave the WS as soon as you are done eating, and go back to FW? Or can you...

    adding days to discounted tickets

    I called WDW a week or so ago to inquire about the price of 8 day parkhoppers for 2 adults and two children under 10. The total I was given was around $1600 and some change. Then I remembered that as a Walmart employee, I can get on the Walmart benefits website and get discounted theme park...

    Frozen/Tangled/Little Mermaid

    Anyone seen this story floating around facebook? Just coincidence? People reading too much into things? Something too it? http://www.eonline.com/news/523425/after-reading-this-you-will-never-watch-frozen-tangled-or-the-little-mermaid-the-same-way-again?cmpid=sn-111021-facebook-na-eonline

    Anyone else afraid new FP+ will push you out of rides?

    Maybe that's what all the fuss is about. Many of us do not have an iPhone, and are not accustomed to have to use phone apps just to enjoy WDW. You shouldn't have to be a technological genius or a computer whiz just to take your family to WDW and have a good time. I have a smart phone, and I...

    Anyone else afraid new FP+ will push you out of rides?

    And that's part of the problem. I know it is ironic to hear myself saying this, given my reputation among friends and family as being so in my trip planning. But I don't want to have to walk around the park with a computer just to be able to enjoy my day at WDW. How many average guests...

    180+10 and FP+ system

    Yes, I also would assume that if I cancel my reservation before all of my ADRs are within the 180 window, then those ADRs that are still more than 180 days out (like 181 days out, 182, etc) would be cancelled. My 180 day mark is Nov 25 this year. I am talking about booking my ADRs on the 25th...

    180+10 and FP+ system

    Last month, I booked a room at All Star Movies for May 2015. Initially, it was my intention to pay the deposit for ASM, then upgrade later to POR so that I did not have to pay the whole deposit all at once. However, for reasons of cost and family size, I decided it would be best to stay in an...

    How Long From Parking To Park?

    I love using the WDW bus system, but it seems to be my observation that you may be able to drive yourself in, even from off property, and get in the park just as quick, or even quicker than taking the bus. When taking the bus, you may get lucky now and then, and walk up to your bus stop to find...
