    Reservations for Mid-December?

    Yes you definitely need to make dining reservations in advance. Epcot will have the Candlelight Processional Performances running at this time (3 performances/day). Many people book the Candlelight Processional dining packages which include lunch or dinner and a ticket to the show. I think...

    Riding with.....Glasses.

    I've worn glasses all my life. The only thing I've taken them off for is Expedition Everest. It's the whole going backwards thing for me. Afraid they'll get pulled off with the wind. Going forwards or upside down is not a problem.

    Torn between restaurants!!!

    The Wave would be my choice for dining solo. It's a short walk from MK to the Contemporary. No need to wait for the monorail. They also have bar seating which can be a good option if you're on your own, and then a short walk back over to MK.

    Reservations necessary??

    You don't even have to go to Guest Relations in the parks to make Reservations. Pay phones are usually located next to washrooms. They have a button on them that will link you directly to Disney Dining for free. Just make sure you have pen and paper handy to write down a reservation number...

    Whispering Canyon Breakfast

    Actually, they will let you order one skillet between you, they just tell you that you are not allowed any refills. My daughter and I have done this before. Basically you just have to split what is in the 1 skillet between you.

    Keys to the Kingdom tour question

    Can't help you with the discount part of your question, but your father can certainly do this tour in a wheelchair. We were there last December and my daughter had a cast on and was using a scooter to get around the parks. We took the tour with no problem. The CM member made sure she was at the...

    April 2011...

    2011 rates won't be out until sometime in August. You could however book "room" only now, and then switch to a package when the new rates come out in Aug. This is what we did. We are going June 2011 and have already booked the days we want at POFQ. You can book room only rates up to 499 days in...

    Necessary ADRs?

    I won't comment on whether or not you should make ADRs, because for us that's a given, but we have had occasion to change reservations at the last minute. These are some we have had success with. For the Magic Kingdom try The Wave at the Contemporary, serves B,L,D. It's a 10 minute walk or...

    Reservation Change Question

    If you're paying extra to have that person in the room (as in an extra charge for more than 2 adults in the room) yes you can. Call Disney, they will modify your reservation, removing the extra person and adjusting the amount owing. If it is paid in full, they should refund the amount of the...

    Changes to the menu and pickup locations for Animal Kingdom's Picnic in the Park

    We were planning on doing this on our trip next week, but will now probably give it a miss this time. We were going to do the sandwiches, but with the change in pickup, we will probably skip it. I don't find Dinoland a very inviting place to have a picnic and by looking at the map, there...

    tipping on dining plan

    We always use cash for tips when we use the dining plan. When they hand us the bill, there's a line for the tip. We just write "cash" on that line so they know not to automatically charge it to our room key. Then we just leave our tip in cash when we leave. I don't like to have anything...

    Restaurant Marakesh

    The reason there is an extra charge for the Taste of Morocco is that it includes an appetizer. The basic DDP only covers the cost of the entree and dessert (plus non-alcoholic drink of course). At this restaurant, if you order something that has an appetizer included, they will price out the...

    Disney Transportation for Early ADR

    Special "Breakfast Busses" usually start running from the resorts to the parks at 7 am. We've had 8:05 ADRs many times and have always gotten to the parks in plenty of time. They also usually have a separate line for people with early ADR's so they can get into the park and to their breakfast...

    Help on getting to these restaurants from parks

    As said previously, it's an easy walk from DHS to the Beach Club for Cape May. It's about a 20 minute walk along the canal. We did it in reverse about a month ago after having dinner at Rose and Crown and then heading over to the Studios in the evening. As for going to Kona and Grand Floridian...

    Dining Plan menu different?

    We just got back from our trip on Saturday. There are not separate menus for people on the dining plan. When we were at Raglan Road for dinner we were asked if we were on a dining plan. As we were not on the DDP this trip we said no. Our server responded with "Great, that means you can order...

    ADR's for Jan

    I think what you're referring to with the ADR's is that they are upgrading the reservation system and you will only be able to book your ADRs 90 days out not 180 days except for a couple of places (CRT and I can't remember the other one) while the system is being upgraded, then it will go back...

    Confused about CP package payment

    From Allearsnet: For Disney Dining Plan Guests: Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining: Candlelight Dining Packages will be 1 Entitlement. If using your Magic Your Way Package + Dining Table Service Meal entitlements toward the Candlelight Processional Dining Package, your entitlements...

    Epcot to Downtown Disney - How?

    Instead of returning to your resort, you could go out through the International Gateway and walk to Beach Club and catch the bus to DTD from there. That's what we did. Much easier than returning to your home resort and then catching the bus to DTD.

    Soup/Salad instead of Entree in DDP

    I know for sure you can get the salad as your meal on DDP. I did this all the time for my counter service meals when we were there. I don't know about the soup though as I've never gotten it.

    Disney Cruise

    Have you considered the Land and Sea option for your cruise rather than a complete 7 day cruise. We just booked a land/sea package this weekend. 4 days on land (at the Beach Club)/3 days at sea on the Disney Wonder. We've never cruised before and we also love the parks so this seemed like a...
