    The POG Juice

    Jungle Juice is now a staple in my house: equal parts of orange, guava, and passion fruit. However, we found that Welch's Passion Fruit & Goya's Guava worked best! I've even thrown in some sparkling water and Whipped Vodka to the mix for us adults ;)

    Where to redeem PP+ voucher in DTD...old reports say Team Mickey

    Not that I know of…I redeemed mine at AK first thing in the morning, which took a whole 4 min.. Most people are running to rides/attractions in the morning, so you should have little-to-no-wait-time. Also, there probably aren't many PP+ redemption coupons out there nowadays!

    Putting 10 People In Bay Lake 2 Bedroom?

    Just so I am understanding your post: you will have 9 adults & 1 infant in your travel party? If this is correct, you will have no problems & could keep your infant on the list, as he/she will not max out the allotted occupancy.

    FP+ with little ones?

    (A) Option 1: No, this is not possible. If she wants to meet Princesses, get there for their first M&G of the day. Your wait time should be minimal, but then again, you run the risk of missing out on lower lines for other attractions WITHOUT the use of FP+. (A) Option 2: Yes, your 9 y.o. can...

    Help with availability/renting Animal Kingdom Villas Studio Value

    The weekend of Nov. 7-9th is the last weekend for the Food & Wine Festival AND the Wine & Dine 1/2 Marathon. Many DVC studios are booked. I, too was looking to go Nov. 4-9th and tried to book a standard-view studio at AKV (which is our home resort), and the standard-view was unavailable for...

    one night, kids staying in the room with the grandmas, what do you do?

    On my most recent trip (mid-February), we had the luxury of grandparents along in our 9 person travel party…and we took advantage of this! We were fortunate to be staying at the Villas at the Grand Floridian, so we did a couples night out, my DH and I, and DH's cousin and his wife. Our DD's...

    Star Wars Weekends 2014

    Enough time between dinner and Tomorrowland Terrace fireworks party?

    Honestly, I would just walk over from the Contemporary to MK…it's much faster and all you're relying on is your feet. The dinner there isn't that bad either! As for looking up other Akershus times: no worries! It was like a quest for me…I love helping out where and when I can! Enjoy your...

    Enough time between dinner and Tomorrowland Terrace fireworks party?

    Assuming that you will be seated around 6:30 p.m. (arriving at 6:10 p.m. for your 6:45 p.m. reservation), your meal alone will take at least 60 min…you do not want to rush a character meal for the price you're paying. Factoring in the the time they seat you, until you've finished and made your...

    Upgrading to an AP?

    As @Rob562 mentioned, if your ticket was bought from another retailer besides directly from Disney, enter a park first, and before leaving said park, stop in at Guest Relations to upgrade. You do have the option to upgrade your ticket at any time, before your ticket expires & before you use...

    Change in Plan, Now for Some Questions

    1. DME is a shared bus service: Typically, DME makes up to 4 stops, 1 at each resort category, and can take about an hour to complete. AKVillas are our home resort, and we have taken DME several times…and AKL was always our last stop, making our DME bus ride a little over an hour. If you're in...

    Meeting elsa and anna

    ****EDIT: According to Disney's online schedule, Anna & Elsa's M&G's are beginning at 9 a.m., with the last one scheduled at 4:20 p.m. for the next 2 weeks. So, amendments need to be made to the above: 2. M&G's begin at 9 a.m.. 5. Guests with the earliest Akershus reservations, have a greater...

    Meeting elsa and anna

    From what I understand, heard, and researched, the "Anna & Elsa M&G" does not officially open until 11 a.m.. However, guests can stand in line beginning at 9 a.m., thus beginning the "2 hour wait." Like the once popular Rapunzel and Merida M&G's at MK (the one next to the castle), only a...

    fastpass+ lines

    So long as you've scanned your MB at the attraction entrance prior to your FP+ window closing, you will be fine, even if your time frame expires while waiting to scan at the 2nd Mickey head. This happened to us once during our vacation, and we had no problems. Also, having your FP+ in tandem...

    Bridging a discounted ticket to a extra day.

    My travel party did both of your scenarios on our most recent trip in the beginning of February: my family and I upgraded to AP's, while other members of our group added a day to their 5-day PH, and here's how that process went: *I bought the other travel members' tickets from UnderCoverTourist...

    Numbers of MB with DVC Reservation

    @danniyell : So long as your reservations have the same room view and are ALL confirmed with points, a CM should have no problem rolling everything into one reservation #, thus leaving your party with one MB! Let us know how it goes!
