    Maybe it's just my kids...

    I think people need some sort of break. I don't think you necessarily need a change of venue. We don't go back to our room mid-day. However, we don't get there when they open and we leave before closing. We sleep until we get up and usually have a TS late lunch or early dinner.

    Talk to me about the Frozen Summer Fun Premium Package

    We went last year. I thought it was worth it. We got to HS only 15 minutes before the parade. The streets were wall-to-wall people. We made it through to the roped off area and were able to enter and have a great view, plenty of elbow room, and have some frozen lemonade on a hot day. The...

    MNSSHP...YES!.. This Time Though....Halloween Nite!!!!!!

    How crowed a sold out party feels has varied for me. In 2013 we went to the last MNSSHP and the first MVMCP. They were both sold out. MNSSHP felt fine, where as the MVMCP felt miserably crowded.

    Renting DVC Points

    The moderate rooms are smaller in total square footage, but they are configured differently. The bedroom area itself is smaller in the studio because of the space dedicated to the bathroom and kitchenette. For example, a Port Orleans Riverside room is 314 sq ft and AKV studio is 366 sq ft.

    Renting DVC Points

    I agree with the previous poster. A full-size sofa sleeper may not be comfortable for 2 adults. The only DVC studio that has 2 actual beds is Old Key West (DTD area). At AKV, you have to go up to a 2-bdrm to get 2 actual beds (or 2 studios). Otherwise, renting points is a great way to save...

    which character breakfast?

    Ohana is our favorite. Although, we all love Stitch! The last couple of times, the food has been very good. A couple of years ago, we did have terrible food there. We have been to all character meals at Disney (that includes places that serve mutible meals, ex. we have been to B,L,D at both CRT...

    Why is Stitch's Great Escape still there?

    Stitch is one of our family's top 2 Disney characters (the other being Wall-E). My kids love this ride. We go on several times each trip. Once we went on 4 times in a row and the smell started to get to me then. I enjoy it for the people watching. When the shoulder harnesses come down, there...

    Counter Service Dipping Sauces

    Most places seem to have BBQ. My son prefers that to ketchup for his fries, so we always look for that.

    Can't get Be Our Guest at 180 day 6am mark - what am I missing?

    That has been my personal experience too. If I book at least 6 days into my trip, I haven't had any problems. I booked lunch at 180+10 for my September trip. I'm not interested in breakfast

    Fast Pass + Help :(

    When I book FP+, I choose the option that is closest to what I want. Then I go back and edit the individual FP+ to get the times that I want. There have only been a couple of times When the time I wanted was unavailable.

    Soarin row heights...

    I think you are doing the right thing. We brought my 75 yo mother-in-law. She is afraid of heights too. We left it up to her. I was convinced she wouldn't want to go, but she did. She got nervous getting into the seat. She said, 'There is a bar behind me, do you have a bar?' My husband (her son)...

    Napping on Rides/During Shows: Okay or Fau Pax?

    When I'm at WDW, I'm not a rope drop person. I sleep until I wake up, so I'm not usually tired. Even so, there are two times I have fallen asleep. Once on CoP. It was are second time on it because my kids decided they loved it. The second was in the Country Bear Jamboree. I got so bored. So, it...

    How Many Times Do You Visit WDW In A Year?

    Agreed! Why would anyone care how someone else spends their money?

    First Time visit Jambo House or Kidani Village

    Between the two, we have chosen to stay at Kidani (4 times). There are two main reasons for us. One is the extra bathroom in the 1 bdrm (also in the 2 bdrm). The other is the buses. They pick up first and drop off first there (except for the DTD bus). I love that. On the flip side, there is no...

    Memory Maker info - Please help!

    Whether or not it's worth it is subjective. For me, it is definitely worth it. You don't need a MB, but it makes things easier. For ride photos, they will automatically be applied to your account (no need to stop). You need them for SDMT, though, because they don't have a separate photo desk...

    the world at 32 weeks pregnant?

    This was me too (from MN). I was also put on bed rest for the last two months of my pregnancies. So, I'd definitely get trip insurance.

    Wishes from the Monorail Hotels?

    We've stayed in a MK view room at BLT and, yes, there is a TV channel that plays the music. That is my favorite way to watch the fireworks.

    So how many plates do you go through at the character buffet breakfasts?

    1-2, depending on how hungry I am. I don't think anyone should be self conscious about how many trips they take to the buffet. I've never once noticed how many trips any other guest makes.

    3 to a ride/seat?

    We saw 5 people get in one ship on Peter Pan when we were there last. They looked really uncomfortable. But 1 adult and 2 kids would be fine. There are several rides where it would not be a problem. A good list by StarWarsGirl95. In case anyone else is interested, an adult and 2 kids fit fine...
