CSR has an amazing pool and nice grounds. I have taken a 2.5 year old there and she loved it. It is probably my favorite of the mid level hotels on property

Exactly that will not last long in very short time they will have no interest in you and you will miss it.

It is social media, everything is either an unbelievable catastrophe or the most amazing thing to have ever happened, and every person is either a hero or a demon. Social media is an artificial world of superlatives and extremes. Otherwise who would view your posts? Not to say that this isn't...

I felt so empowered when I was about 8 and my parents let my 13 yo brother and I go to MK by ourselves. That was the 80s though and I suspect someone would call security or the cops over that today.

and just because I have done it already here is the inflation adjustment for comparison, $39.95 in 1996 has the same buying power as $63.82 at the end of 2017. at 64 bucks a day I would make a lot more WDW trips...

I second this , I think you have a good plan.

I used to really enjoy eating at Disney, I never thought it was "premium" dining but it was always tasty and I like not having to cook and cleanup . Having someone bring food to me and take away the dirty dishes is one of the small pleasures in life :-) Now I bring more food with me just...

Only you know your kid best but I think that in the absence of a medical issue or physical limitation a 6 year old can do ok without a stroller. My kid did fine on foot at age 5 but admittedly I ended up with her on my shoulders at the end of the day. I leaned toward a stroller for the first one...

I think your last point is very true, I certainly have much less crowd tolerance than when I was younger but I am also completely sure that the crowds were less 20 years ago if you went at the right time of year. I remember going in the early 2000s in mid January and no line was greater than a...

The last two groups of friends who went in the past year both told me they hated it it and they couldn't understand why I like WDW so much. Both families cited the crowds as the biggest reason that they didn't enjoy their trips and both also said the kids were happier playing at the beach than...

the shoulder restraints are needed because of the inversion so you don't fall out if there is a failure but EE exerts more positive g force than RR. People often think the barrel rolls are inherently more intense in the sense that they are scary but they don't necessarily translate into more...

I have no doubt you could get a room on property at one of the hotels. But, the big issue is that you would risk having to pay for a very expensive room to find a room on the same day. And if you have looked at the room rates on WDW website you will see that room prices can exceed $1,000 a...

EE is much more intense IMO than RR. RR may have loops but it exerts much less force on your body. If you can do EE you'll have no problem on RR!

New ride sure! overlay , nope. Add not replace is my philosophy. Although the gran fiesta tour is a bit dated with regard to the tourist images they show. Like the cliff divers at Acapulco, no one goes to Acapulco anymore for very unfortunate reasons, its been a long time since that was a...

I've been upgraded twice, neither time did I ask, hint or otherwise try to manipulate the cast member at the front desk for an upgrade. One of those times was to club level but it was before I knew what that meant so I didn't take advantage of any of the club level perks :-( . It was pure...

I agree that if one park is packed they all are but disagree in that not all parks are packed equally, certain parks definitely have busier days and slower days. Disney used to make that info available on their website but took it down a number of years ago. Touringplans, dads guide etc all...

yeah definitely before, we have done a number of trips that started or ended at disney land or world and it is always better to start there rather than end there. WDW or DL is frankly less fun when you have just done something else as a vacation and we often feel like we need to relax after a...

I too have done this with no issue, grandma came by for one night. We told the front desk and they said no problem

Money no object ? Polynesian for me Contemporary for my wife Taking money into consideration Wilderness Lodge. All three have great proximity to MK, feel very "inside the bubble" , have good amenities, dining and theme That said my wife and I went in several times in our 20s before we had kids...

I love park hoppers as others have said you can switch parks if the crowds get bad and you can return for favorite attractions or dining. They give you a whole lot more freedom and for 5 days are totally worth it. As an aside if you aren't doing water parks I think 5 days is the perfect WDW...
