    Also to get to Hospitality House you can take any bus, it is the last stop before the bus leaves the resort. The Disney springs bus will take you back to your area bus stop.

    Would you pay $226 for a souvenir?

    I voted no, but to be honest we have frequently spent more than that, especially on Haunted Mansion items or auctions at Pin Events.

    OK, remember back to your first trip, how much preliminary information did you learn about the world?

    First trip was in 1987. My in-laws both worked at the world. Didn't need much planning. No such thing as fast passes, dining plan then.

    Extending stay whilst at disney..but theres a catch

    Passholder discounts can be booked before you have your pass, you just have to be able to show it when you check in. With this in mind you can look for the discounts as soon as they are released, including for your entire stay.

    Tipping for Mousekeeping?

    Call the front desk about it, they will send someone up who can change the thermostat. They push the buttons in a certain order and it works like a regular thermostat. At least that is what happened to us a couple of years ago at SSR.

    It may start with lower crowds, but with Thanksgiving right after you leave that week will have higher attendance. Many schools are out all of Thanksgiving week, and crowds start to build the weekend before Thanksgiving. The Christmas decorations will be up as the MVMCP will have already...

    Amtrak Anyone?

    As far as what to do in DC, we got one of those hop on hop off bus tours and took it around the capital area. The last tour leaves around 5 pm so had plenty of time when we got back to eat dinner in the food court before the train left to go back to Chicago. Made a wonderful end to our WDW trip...

    Amtrak Anyone?

    We have taken Amtrak from Little Rock to Orlando and back once. They may have run out of food if all the sleepers were full. Sleeper car passengers get first shot at all meals as it is included in their fare. That is part of the reason we always get a sleeper. Especially when we bring the...

    Fort wilderness

    We've been camping at fort wilderness since 2001. As the previous poster said it is the best campground around. Make your reservations early though, they can fill up fast at some times of the year. If you're ever there around the holidays make sure to go and tour some of the loops. The campers...

    First time To Disney World with my 6 girls! Help please!

    We have stayed at SSR several times. My favorite location is The Grandstands. It is the first stop both coming and going for busses which means you have a seat when you get on and you're at the first stop at the end of the day. We almost exclusively use Disney transportation when staying at SSR...

    First time with 5yo

    I agree with most everything posted already EXCEPT consider Wilderness Lodge. It is one of the least expensive Deluxe resorts, and has boat transportation directly to the MK. Whenever we have traveled with our granddaughter around that age we have used Wilderness Lodge and find the boats to be...

    Candlelight 2017

    Does anyone have any information on the Candlelight program for this year? We will be there from December 1-10 this year and are looking forward to seeing it. I have been unable to find any definitive information for this year and being a WDW regular the short planning time is difficult at best...

    Disneyland Hotel vs. Paradise Pier Hotel

    I have stayed at PPH several times and never been disappointed. Once had a theme park view room and my granddaughter woke up every morning pointing at the rides there. You can also go down by the pool and watch the Disneyland fireworks with the audio piped in. Good way to avoid the rush leaving...

    4x-5x shopping

    We have found 4x and 5x mostly at the World of Disney Store, generally in the dated t-shirts that have the current generic design. There have also been some at Mouse Gear and once at the Mercantile at Wilderness Lodge we found some 5x t-shirts. Outside of T-shirts there isn't much at all for...

    This fall will be our first visit to Tokyo Disney as well. We have been doing alot of research and found that it will be best to wait until we get there to purchase tickets. The general tickets available in advance are one park each of the first 2 days and then park hoppers for days 3 and 4. If...

    Surprise experience for my parents

    Have you considered a Wishes or Illuminations Cruise. I haven't done one but understand they are very nice. There are several options as far as number of people, type of boat, food, beverages etc. I believe they will even decorate the boat for birthdays. You can make reservations and ask...

    Advice Needed: Large Family

    If you get a 2 bedroom lock out as opposed to a dedicated 2 bedroom there will be 2 pack and plays, one on each side. Also they have sheets for the pack and plays and since there is a washer in the room you can just wash them before use if you're worried about them being clean.

    Odd campsite availability...

    I've heard of this happening before. I don't remember the exact reason behind it, but it is easy to get around. What I read suggested you book the longer stay, then call and modify to what you actually want. When you book you only pay for 1 night so doesn't cost anything extra.
