The positives outweigh the negatives, but yes on a weekend during the day there are lots and lots of people and lots of them are drunk. It gets a little unDisney-like at that moment. But the difference between say a Thursday afternoon during Food and Wine and a Saturday afternoon at Food and...

That's a great time to go. Room rates and crowds are typically a little lower. We've been many times third week of August and have always thought it to be a better time to go in summer.

We were there when Charley came blasting right through back in '04. We were at the French Quarter. They shut all the parks down around 12-1 and sent all guests back to their hotels. Considering that everyone was back in the hotels in the middle of the day, things went quite well for us. There...

Launchpad McQuack was a good one. We met him in the Magic Kingdom hub after an afternoon castle stage show. Has to be 10 years ago. Right next to him was the Sheriff of Nottingham. I'm pretty sure he's not out anymore. I think the most rare would have to be Clarice, Chip and Dale's...

Could never leave Disney for Universal. We've done Universal twice. Both times we spent a few days over there first and then ended our trip at Disney. Universal is a great place to spend a few days, especially Harry Potter - it's amazing. Both times we stayed at The Royal Pacific. I highly...

I think it's matter of a building number request when it comes to Alligator Bayou. We used to stay there all the time because we needed the trundle beds and I would always request buildings that were further into the resort away from the parking lots. That way there was no chance of me looking...

Our first full day is at Magic Kingdom with a late breakfast at Crystal Palace. Our last night is always dinner in World Showcase and Illuminations in Germany.

Magic Kingdom could be busy on a Saturday in summer. Get there before opening. Spend the relatively quieter morning hours in the park. Book the last breakfast you can at 1900 Park, 11:30-ish. The place should be pretty empty at that time because they don't do lunch and people think breakfast...

Love it. Love the new queue. Keep it clean and functioning and don't change a thing.

I definitely don't want to walk out my door and see a parking lot if I'm able to walk out my door into gardens.

Yes. Both times. Couldn't imagine being without a balcony. Third floor is the way to go. Fiji was close enough to everything and being able to look out at water and the monorail going around on either side was a real treat. One of the better tips I ever received.

We've done Caribbean Beach twice, French Quarter once, Riverside 4 times all with young kids. Never had a problem with any of them. French Quarter is obviously the most compact but the size of Riverside was never a concern for us. We always requested a certain building and always got what we...

We've stayed in Fiji twice and paid for Garden View and both times were looking at the lagoon. Once looking out over the boats in the marina and the Contemporary off in the distance and another time on the opposite side looking at the beach with the Grand Floridian off in the distance. Beautiful...

Absolutely loved the old show. Loved where it was. Loved the train. The countdown. Loved the fact that you were pretty much outside the park and then being let in. If I'm already at Cinderella Castle then I'm already in...way in. I understand that the entrance area with bag searches becoming...

Two very different food experiences. The buffet at Crystal Palace is more extensive. There's even a custom made omelet/egg station. You won't get that at Akershus. There really isn't a choice at Akershus. They put down a breakfast plate in the center of the table and it's pretty standard fare...

Tough call between the Poly and the Yacht Club. Poly - monorail, large rooms, beautiful grounds, fireworks and water pageant from the beach Yacht - walk to Epcot and Studios, Stormalong Bay, tranquility, Boardwalk for nighttime stroll

The lobster eggs Benedict at 1900 is delicious. The breakfast is much better at 1900 overall. My best tip for this place is to book as late a breakfast as possible, 11:00 am or so. We did this last time we were there, peak summer season. They don't do lunch, so the place was emptying out towards...

It's a great walk. It's a nice boat ride. It really depends on your feet and legs. If they're tired and need a break, enjoy the boat. Otherwise, you will almost always beat the boat by walking.

This past summer we had 9 teens with our traveling party. Age range from 14-17. All of them at one time or another ordered off the kids menu at table service and at counters. Not a word, a raised eye or an up charge to be found. Never went to Disney Springs do can't comment on those restaurants...

I've stayed at the Poly twice. Never stayed at the Grand Floridian but have been there a lot to dine. The GF is certainly a beautiful and elegant place to visit and we've had a lot of great meals there, but every time we go there we always say, " I don't think I'd ever want to stay here." It...
