    Hopping from AK to EPCOT questions

    Nothing is like Thanksgiving or holidays. That being said, and from someone who has been doing Disney since 1991, Jersey Week is busy!!! Also surprised when we went first week of December and felt that was busy also.

    Late 30s female solo trip in September; looking for company at parks..

    I hope this isn't for real and you aren't planning to do a park hookup (even just for company) with a 51 year old stranger. Yikes! Go by yourself and strike up conversations with people already in the parks. :)

    Hopping from AK to EPCOT questions

    I believe they have bus service to every park. We have never eaten at Tusker House, but unless you are really into Donald, might I suggest O'Hana with Lilo and Stitch. It is a great breakfast with lots of fun and you will be on the resort monorail line which you can take to Epcot and walk in the...

    A few random dumb-a$$ questions

    Instead of trekking to first aid stations why don't you pack quart size ziploc bags and just get ice whenever you need at counter service places throughout the parks for your knee?

    Park Hoppers vs. just doing one park at day?

    We have been to Disney as young energetic singles, married with children and now at a slower pace. We have done both single park and hopping. As young singles we were able to go from morning to night with no breaks. We didn't need to park hop. After children and now that we are older we found we...

    Be Our Guest Restaurant FastPass+

    Hello again! As of 12:00 I was eligible to book fastpass+ for Be Our Guest. At 12:02 all the fastpasses were gone for lunch for the entire week of our stay!!!!!!! Has anyone else had problems?? So frustrating! What I've read from all the above, it seems I am the only one with a problem. 3...

    New Haven CT to Orlando .... any epic places to eat while I drive?

    Have driven to Orlando many times from Jersey. Don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings but we stopped at a Cracker Barrel in North Carolina and the food was inedible! Gross! Also in North Carolina they by law have to cook burgers to the point where you could use them as soles for your shoes! Most...

    Be Our Guest Restaurant FastPass+

    Ok. So I just got off the phone with a Disney Dining Rep re: how to book a fastpass for lunch at Be Our Guest. She told me that I have to wait for an email invitation. And that email could come at any time including the day before our trip. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have been...

    Some questions from a first-timer

    Ok. Some numbers- Pop century at low time is about $100.00 per night (late summer early fall special rate). Tickets for 2 days hopper is $504.00 for 2 people. Disney counter service is $42.00 per day per person. Total is roughly $1100. Was that $1036 for the two of you or per person. When it...

    Comments on my plan please

    I agree with everything cw1982 has to say. You won't be disappointed with 50's Prime Time, Akershus or Crystal Palace. The kids will love those. There are lots of choices for off-site restaurants not far from Windsor Palms. You have done a good job of breaking up your holiday as far as the parks...

    FP+

    We are going to DisneyWorld in September. We have been there many times but this is our first time using MagicBands and FP+. I have done some research and my head is spinning! Our usual "modus operandi" is use our park hoppers to visit one park in the morning and then head to Epcot. We have no...

    Typhoon Lagoon with 2-Year Olds?

    We love Typhoon Lagoon; however we didn't go until our daughter was 8. If you have the tickets with water parks I say go for it, but if you don't I would wait til the kids are older and can enjoy the wave pool and the family coaster.

    Low on money....but a promise

    We have been to Disney many times and stayed both on property and off. With the new magic band system definitely better to stay on property. You can book fastpasses 60 days ahead. We have a Disney VISA card that can be used for certain perks. You can get discounted rooms and a free souvenir pic...

    No WDW Trip This Year

    Sorry to hear you can't make it to Disney. We used to go twice a year, but we are lucky if we can afford every two years now. Last year we opted for Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It was half the distance and half the price. It wasn't Disney but it was still great! And they had a food and wine...

    Trip Report *Completed!* The "pick a celebration and stick with it!" Trip Report :)

    Comparing RnRC to ToT - I went on ToT a long time ago. Visual effects are awesome but I can't handle the up and down. For years I was afraid to go on RnRC. Finally in 2010 I chugged a beer and forced myself on RnRC. I was scared to death. When I got off I asked "Where was the loop?" Now I love...

    Fantasmic or Illuminations??

    Fantasmic is nice and has cool effects, but Illuminations is a more emotional experience. I love the music and actually bought the CD (a long time ago!). :)

    George's Epic WDW predictions

    I was not fortunate enough as a child to have parents with the means to take us to DisneyWorld. I didn't get there until 1991 and was already in my 30's! I do miss those days when there were no fastpasses, but if you went in September you could walk on ANY attraction with no wait. We always...
