    6 Year old son and rides...help.

    Explain what to expect in the rides as you queue and before you go on, like darkness, drops, etc. Hold his hand and tell him he can close his eyes at any time - first time on HM, my then 4 year old got a bit overwhelmed and buried his head in my chest for parts of the ride - didn't put him off...

    Delicious snacks?

    My boys can't get past the LARGE lard lad donut. The 9 year old bought one with his own money last trip - highest praise indeed! Husband loves the turkey legs - snack or meal for 2?! Looking forward to Florean Fortescue's this trip - hoping butterbeer ice cream is as good as frozen butterbeer...

    Taking straight A high schooler out for trip?

    As a high school teacher in the UK, I find that students who take time out of school for holidays are fine as long as they inform the teacher of their intended absence, discuss what will be going on when they're away and reach agreement on the work expected on return to school; limit time off...

    Suggestions for OOP Breakfast?

    Just had a thought - We're paying oop for Beaches and Cream - the kitchen sink for breakfast?!!! When's too early for ice cream, brownies, cookies and a whole can of cream? (hint: never) I did my FP+ selections yesterday then spent the entire day tinkering with plans - think the last 60 days are...

    American Dream Slush

    Thought it sounded cool but was unsure about ice cream mixed with slush which is pretty much frozen water - essentially cream and water melting together?! Will just buy another cronut instead!! Thanks for the info.

    Pre-Trip Cronuts and Cupcakes and other Cool Stuff

    I know - Epcot WS has no thrill rides or fancy ride systems but it's just so much fun. Last trip we went to Epcot one evening and ate at the Electric Umbrella (I know :oops:) then watched Illuminations and returned the next morning and just did Future World riding Test Track multiple times then...

    Snack credits in DTD

    I think we'll be using our snack credits in the parks and resorts rather than DTD. Will take the obligatory trip to Goofy's Candy Co and Candy Cauldron, though :)!

    Pre-Trip Cronuts and Cupcakes and other Cool Stuff

    Hi all!! So excited - 60 days out and I've selected all our FP+ then spent the ENTIRE rest of the day fine tuning our plans, conducting further research and questioning all you good people about "random stuff." We're staying at the Contemporary from Oct 9th-16th. First time in a deluxe thanks to...

    Snack credits in DTD

    Hi all, Adding to my list of must do snacks as we have the free dining plan and don't want to 'waste' any like we did last time - we let them build up then just panic-bought bagged sweets on our last day!! Have loads of ideas from other threads here and from looking at snack credit lists online...

    Getting from DTD to MK

    Thanks all. Think we'll take whichever monorail resort bus comes first then walk from Contemp or monorail from the others. Thanks so much. Love that I can get such specific questions answered and arrive at a better solution than I would have thought of. :happy::happy::happy:

    Just back from 10 nights at the Hard Rock....

    Like @danpam1024 said, in HRH, and the quality and choice on offer is amazing. We have free dining at WDW for first half of our trip and have a few buffet breakfasts booked - they are great but no competition, food wise and cost wise, for The Kitchen. Definitely on our list for our HRH...

    Just back from 10 nights at the Hard Rock....

    Agreed!! The Kitchen breakfast was soooo amazing and well worth the money. Springfield is awesome, eating a krusty burger in Moe's Tavern with a Flaming Moe to wash it down - beyond exciting for my two boys (and the husband. Ok, and totally me too!!)

    Getting from DTD to MK

    We are planning taking a bus from Epcot after lunch to POFQ to grab some beignets and have a walk around before taking the boat to DTD. We then want to get from DTD to MK for dinner reservations at BoG at 7:30. We were thinking leaving DTD at 6 would leave enough time? We were just going to...

    American Dream Slush

    Has anyone tried the American Dream slush from Fife and Drum Tavern? Wondered if it was worth a snack credit.

    Fastpass booking questions!

    I did mine this morning (9am UK time so about 4am in Orlando) at my 60 day mark. It was very easy and intuitive. When I clicked on new FP+, it showed me my family and friends list and let me select the members from that group that I wanted to make selections for. It then let me select a park...

    Suggestions for OOP Breakfast?

    Same for us. Youngest loves him and always brings back a stitch from WDW or DLP. Wanted the huge one but we said no for getting it into luggage. He saw a girl with one at the airport tucked round her back pack like she was giving him a piggy back - we were not popular!!! Can also meet him in HS...

    First time with a 4 year old

    We usually get into WDW about 3pm and spend that first day looking round the resort and using the pool before an early bed. As we have jam packed days the rest of the trip and don't spend much of it at the resort, we enjoy setting time aside for this, plus it may be 6pm in Orlando but our bodies...

    Getting to universal studios

    We were $45 from HRH at Uni to CBR at Disney.

    One night stay help!

    If it's just for sleep and heading off straight away in the morning, I'd save the money and stay offsite. But beignets for breakfast at FQ...

    What have I missed?

    Got your FP+ sorted, got your ADRs sorted and know what you want to do each day-sounds like a fab itinerary. DTD changing to Disney Springs. Lots still to do before finish date next year but might want to check it out. Have a fab trip.
