    First-timer needing help with accommodation options

    If you are early risers and can be at the parks before rope drop each day, if you do your research and plan your days carefully, and if you take good advantage of Fastpasses, then you can accomplish a great deal doing one Disney park per day. I recommend Pop Century as the best Value resort if...

    EMH: Useful, worth it? Views?

    We ALWAYS use Morning EMH because people don't like to sleep in. By dragging ourselves out of bed we get several hours of no crowds, even at the most crowded times of year. It's always worth it.

    Luggage tags?

    The straps for our luggage tags were in a small rolled tube inside the package containing the magic bands. I thought it was just fluff but the straps were inside of it.

    What did you do?

    3m on Thursday on TM. 7m on Saturday outdoors. Four weeks until we move to Texas and the thermometer outside jumps from 70s to 100 degrees!

    What is the cost of an average WDW vacation for 5 days and 4 people?

    We did 5 days/4 nights for 4 adults December 20-24, 2018. Stayed at the Boardwalk Resort. Used miles for free airline tickets. Got free regular dining plan. Bought 4 days of PH tickets. Total cost: $5790. We usually stay at a value or moderate resort for far less, but this was a special...

    Park Hours

    I've always found that the park hours were released at least a little more than 6 months after the current date so you could plan accordingly. Sometimes they do get modified though.

    Changes to Fastpass+ Tiers at Hollywood Studios Effective 8.29

    What @doctornick and @WDWFREAK53 said. You neglect to consider Sally getting that FP for TOT which John would otherwise have gotten. Just as many people on standby if not more now.

    Changes to Fastpass+ Tiers at Hollywood Studios Effective 8.29

    Not quite. They will still give away just as many FPs for TOT as they did previously. It will just be to those people who choose TOT as their favorite ride or to those who couldn't get FPs for their favorite ride and chose TOT as a backup. With the same number of people in the FP line and...

    What did you do?

    Sidelined from running by a migraine last night. Instead I spent over an hour on the stationary bike.

    Magical Moments?

    Got my son a Hidden Mickey book around that age and he spent that trip searching for them. Also, giving them a little freedom to go to an attraction on their own and meet up with you awhile later makes them feel grown up, and you know they are in a safe place.

    Pop, Caribbean BR or Port Orleans FQ

    I've stayed at Pop and CBR (pre-construction) and POR (not FQ but we did visit it). I'd vote POFQ (which I see is what you just booked). CBR is big but if you request a standard room in Aruba or Jamaica then you are very close to the main pool and food court without paying extra for a...

    Best Place for Breakfast in the Parks

    The only breakfast that is a do not miss for our family every trip is Kona Cafe. We book the latest breakfast possible. Then we rope drop the MK and go to our breakfast ADR making it "brunch." Half of us love the tonga toast and the rest of us love the macadamia nut pineapple pancakes! Not...
