We are planning to go back next May after school is out, after skipping this year. Initially, I planned to stay on property, but even then, I thought that booking FP 60 days out was a little too even for me...and trust me, I have a reputation for being and obsessive about my trip...

Wait...what's all this about having to have a fastpass for the Be Our Guest Restaraunt??? We are hoping/planning a trip next May, and our date to make ADRs will be Nov 24. I was hoping to book an ADR for this restaraunt. Are you saying that I can't do that now? Now I have to have some kind...

Thanks guys. I'm sure I have read in some of the books as well, that it is officially for WDW resort guests only (although from experience I know that they don't enforce it, even if it's true). Glad to know we won't be grilled if we get on a bus without a wristband. LOL

Technically, the busses are for WDW resort guests only. However, on our previous off property visits, it has never been a problem to get on a bus and go to a different park, and then come back at the end of the day and get out car. Is there any indication that this is changing with the...

Just a question regarding the new wristband format. I understand that if you are a WDW resort guest, then your key card, tickets and dining plan (if applicable) are all combined under the wristbands. But what if we are staying off property? Do our tickets still come in the old format of a...

I didn't miss it, but from what I have seen, it looks like family suites (even at the Values) are more expensive than rooms at POR. Especially when you consider the discounts that are pretty much always available (even though not officially guaranteed). So far, Art of Animation is exempt from...

Just as long as she doesn't stumble on this thread, right? :p It won't stay hid from her for long though, as she is on my facebook so she is bound to see the name posted eventually. Unless, of course, she has me hidden so she doesn't have to see my politically incorrect posts. LOL

So far, I am not seeing any good alternative to staying at Port Orleans Riverside as initially planned. They can accomodate 5 guests even after the baby is over 3, but I thought it might be worth considering if I can find someplace that would be alot cheaper than POR. But so far, I am finding...

You're half right. The name we are leaning towards right now is Kaytelyn Elizabeth. :D I take it Elizabeth is your name?

Our proposed trip would be May 24-June 3 of 2015, but just to get a ballpark number, I went to the website for the Holiday Inn and typed in those dates for 2014, with 2 adults and 3 kids, and it gave me a total. However, when I called today to ask the same question, and asked about occupancy...

We have a newborn coming this year, making us a family of five. For our hopeful upcoming trip next year, it should be no problem to stay at Port Orleans Riverside as initially planned (before we found out we have another baby coming). But when the baby gets to be 2 or 3 years old and we become...

Perhaps after this next trip (if we are able to go next May as hoped), I will plan on the Nickelodean Suites. We've stayed there before and enjoyed it (for one night in 2011 and two nights in 2012), and a family suite is around $150...cheaper than a WDW moderate resort. And it is so close to...

I saw your post, but it seemed ambiguous to me as to whether you were telling me what my best options are for convenience sake, or if you were telling me what actual WDW policy is. That's why I was seeking further clarification. Thanks for the info. :)

Are the above comments recommendations based on what rooms would most comfortably fit a family of five, or is that what the actual regulations require? If I was willing to risk feeling overcrowded, would I be allowed to stay in whatever hotel I wanted to stay in as a family of five, or do the...

Well, it was either bring the baby, or have to do a shorter trip because Mama cannot bear to be parted from the baby for two weeks. :D And yes, no trip is the same without the Pringles. LOL

We had not planned on having a third baby, but contrary to our expectations, we found out last fall that we have another one coming, due August 5. Due to the expenses of being a family of four, we had already planned on not going to WDW this year, even before we unexpectedly found out we are...

Unless you just REALLY want to stay at Art of Animation because you think it looks awesome, I would plan on staying somewhere else and here is why... I have never stayed in a Value and part of the reason why is because everytime I price them, I find that they fail to live up to the name...

Thanks Nemo and Eod. :) Nemo, it's hard to believe that when I first started posting here and making your acquaintance, our son was just a baby. Now he has made four trips, his little sister has made two and we are waiting on number 3. We find out tommorrow if it is a boy or a girl. By the...

We are skipping this year and HOPING to go back next year (end of May), although that isn't certain either, as we have a baby coming this summer. Alot depends on how much we can save up through the year and how much the hospital expense is going to cost. But in the meantime, I have been...

Our last stay was 11 nights, and I was concerned with whether I would be able to book that last night without having to call back to do it. I was able to do all 11 on the same phone call. I wasn't sure if it was 10 days AFTER the 180 mark, or if it was 10 days, INCLUDING the 180 day mark...
