    Disney Springs Check in Desk

    Yes they do still have that option , however other airlines are able to pay to use the service , so we normally get there early as it can get quite busy now . All parties still need to be present and you need your handluggage with you.

    Park Tickets from UK

    We always use Attractions direct , they still give you real tickets . I was able to link up through MDE as normal and then we chose to pick up magic bands and link those from our off-site hotel before hitting the parks . We still received the free photo pass with our tickets .

    Rough estimate for money needed outside of basic expenses?

    It really depends on what you will be buying . I would say to allow for autograph books , pens ,ears and a plush for each child so that would be at least 300 USD . Then after that you could always give them a budget of what they can spend say 50_100 USD each . If you can get to any of the shops...

    Your Best, Cheap Hotel off site to save money!

    It really depends on your expectations . We have stayed off-site 4 times now , 3 times at LBV Clarion Inn and once at Hilton Disney springs tower apartments .

    Must Have Gifts for Kids from WDW

    I would say a personalised christmas ornament , christmas stocking etc to keep, and you can use from year to year. Toys dont ever last forever. When we went to DLRP, my daughter fell in love with the dragon that lives under the sleeping beauty castle, so we bought her a fine crystal dragon...

    Most annoying part about trip, kids in bed early!

    We all crashed at around 9 - 10 every night, and were up early so not a problem. On other holidays we have taken a box set of a tv show, and just chilled out when little one was asleep.

    Just who IS in those costumes? AND are they coached how to act?

    My friends, cousin plays Minnie mouse at Disneyland Paris, she is very much female! She also lives in a Disney apartment with Belle, and Ariel - how cool is that? You have to audition for the part, said french Minnie is a professional dancer. You have strict manerisms that you have to learn ...

    First Time Visitor- What Order?

    I would start with Epcot/DHS first as the Magic Kingdom is hard to top. However if you were traveling with very young children i would go straight to the Magic kingdom first. Our daughter had a meltdown when we very first arrived, as she really wanted to meet Mickey. She wasnt being naughty or...
