I'm an East Coaster who had been to WDW multiple times growing up, and a few more times in recent years as an adult with my wife. We went to Disney Land last September for a few days while we were touring the West Coast, figuring the 50th anniversary would be cool, and I was suprised how...

I did the same type of upgrade you just did a few weeks ago, and for that, they just sent another confirmation letter. I'm pretty sure they don't send the final itinerary package with the luggage tags and all that until you've paid in full, and even then I don't think they do it earlier than a...

I'm not saying not to do it, but I'm just saying I think that moment with your 4 month old kissing Minnie is more one you'll remember than your child. And that's not a bad thing. But overall, I was just approaching the question from a different angle of parents like my sister and...

Exactly, plus I'm sure they also considered the marketing aspect of doing this promotion. It's essentially like free sampling on a grander scale, although as mentioned, they're certainly getting some of that money back in other ways. But they're also getting people that may never have dined at...

The announcement doesn't really mess up my personal plan of eating around 5pm before the 8:15 show, but it DOES make the earlier shows less appealing for me as a back-up plan, since 5pm dinner is about as early as I can go. Obviously, you can do it as a late lunch, but my plan is to eat at Le...

Regarding the dining plan - it's going to depend on how many days you plan to not eat dinner at the parks. You're going to be forced to get the dining plan for all the nights of your hotel stay, so for your 10 night stay, you'll have 10 table service credits, 10 counter service, and 10 snacks...

It seems like there are two different ways people are reading this question. If the question is, when is it possible for parents go to Disney with a child; then obviously the answer is probably around 6 months.; essentially whenever the baby is ready to travel. But if the question is, when do...

Dagger got it right. Honestly, anyone considering the plan should do what she's done. I know my wife and I did. You're going to have to make your sit down dinner plans ahead of time anyway since the good places fill up so fast, and if you find that a drag, then stop considering the plan right...

My wife and I went the last week of January 2002, and the crowds were definitely low, but part of that was probably because it was pretty cold and cloudy. So, we had no problem hitting the rides, but were bummed that we had to wear long pants, sweaters, and jackets most of the time. I think...

You didn't say if those were all dinners, but for my quick analysis I've assumed they are. The best way to do this is for you to look at the menus and think about what you would HONESTLY get. Not what you CAN get, but what you would get if you were paying for each thing. But for this quick...

I wouldn't expect them to give you anything for free because of this, but I would expect them to do all they could to switch your reservation to something that would make you happier. Minimally, I would expect them to switch your room to a non-preferred room. I mean, my assumption is it's a...

I honestly don't feel forced to eat. Here's how a typical day in WDW works for me: Breakfast: bagel and coffee (I don't use the plan for this) Lunch: Sandwich or Salad with a drink from CS $10 Dinner: Sit down dinner at mid to high level TS restaurant $25-$50 Late night snack: $4...

I think the "baby in a bar" thing lets up a little at WDW, especially since there's no smoking in the Adventurer's Club. I would say you're probably ok if you go early. It can get crowded sometimes later in the evening, and there's alot of switching rooms, etc. I'd also say from my...

^^^Well said.

Obviously, if you and your wife are just hankering to go to WDW, with the ride-swap availabilty there's really nothing stopping you from going as soon as you're mobile. For me though, 4-5 is probably the age we'll first take our kid(s) for their benefit.

Only your dad is going to really know what types of forces most bother him. I know for me, it's the older rides that bother me more, but that's because my back reacts mostly to vertical forces, and the older rides like Space and Big Thunder Mountain have rougher tracks with alot more jarring...

I agree with half of your response, that the OP has to let it go now, but I do think it's worth getting this person fired or transferred. We're talking Disney customer service here, and how difficult would it have been to just handle it nicely? Just say, "I'm sorry, I'm experiencing technical...

For three weeks, it may make sense to break your trip up and spend some time in an off-site hotel. I guess it depends what you want to do, but it just seems like an opportunity to go outside the Disney limits to hit Universal and the other attractions around Orlando, since I'm not sure WDW...

My wife and I are going Thanksgiving morning and staying through the following Wednesday, and are excited to see the changeover throughout the parks and resorts. As others have mentioned, we've made ADR's at all our preferred dinner spots already, except for our Candlelight Processional dinner...

I think the assumption about wealthy people getting the dining plan is probably not a certainty. I think the plan was enacted to draw people who weren't eating on property as much, or at the nicer places, but that doesn't mean wealthy people wouldn't use it too. That said, regarding tipping...
