    What's the max amount of time you could spend at WDW without getting bored?

    I'd think a couple of weeks. If we had that long, I'd slow our pace considerably. Sleeping in each day, way more resort time, more time at Disney Springs- all things I'd love! We also haven't had the chance to visit either water park, so those would be on the list. I always feel like I'm on...

    Too much money and not worth it..

    Can confirm! I spent years working front desk in a large national park. I really did love my job and helping out guests but the "excellent guest service" version of me is not an accurate representation of my normal self. Not to mention the days that you leave the desk for a minute to get your...

    News ‘Rivers of Light: We Are One’ coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom summer 2019

    Honestly, glad to hear it. Love the original iteration but we just saw the update last month and it was so disappointing. I regularly listen to the show's soundtrack while I'm working and it's absolutely beautiful. The update just feels poorly done and the Lion King music is super jarring if...

    DHS For those that have been to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge in DHS, how long did you stay?

    Just went this week. Ended up in Galaxy's Edge three separate times, probably spent about 1.5-2 hours each time. The first we did Docking Bay 7 and Smuggler's Run, second was SR again and just some exploring, and then we had an Oga's Cantina reservation (definitely the shortest visit as we were...

    News Walt Disney World restaurants to begin expanding plant-based menu options

    You're under no obligation to eat it. I went vegetarian but it wasn't because I didn't like the taste of meat. Being able to just go get a burger real quick is fantastic! I've had the Impossible Whopper a couple of times since it released and I really hope it sticks around. I'm so happy to see...

    Art of animation buses

    The last two times we stayed at Pop (Jan 2018 and Oct 2018) we shared a bus with AoA once each time. Both nights were super late, last people out of the park situation and they'd merged both lines. Dropped AoA first and then Pop. It never happened during the day or when we left the park right away.

    Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2019

    I'm super curious to see how the crowd compares for us this year to last. We were there last fall for the Wine & Dine runDisney event and managed to squeeze in the MNSSHP on actual Halloween. Everyone said it would be terribly crowded but we didn't find that to be the case at all (granted, we...

    Half Day Tickets just don't make sense for Nov. and Dec.

    Well first, people would need to check a calendar and not use that ticket on a day Magic Kingdom closes early. This may not be a useful ticket for you but it might be for others. I have family friends that I helped plan a trip for last spring during a peak spring break week. They have two...

    Cell phones on rides (rant)

    Totally depends on how it's done. You can be discreet- silence the device, dim the screen as low as it will go, and don't hold it high enough to obscure anyone else's view. I'd venture a guess that the people who do all of those things don't get noticed often. It's the people being rude you...

    DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It said that when I checked too but I kept reopening it and eventually got our Oga's reservation through the app. Which is great because I got through once on the website and it crashed while I was confirming.

    Trip Report "Someone please get me one of those tour group flags, please!" - Our Halloween/Anniversary Trip Report!

    Saturday, November 3rd 2018: First up for the day was Animal Kingdom! Our first fastpass of the day was Kilimanjaro Safari. Morning safaris are one of my Mom’s favorite things, so she was quite excited! I don’t remember taking any pictures of this safari but we certainly enjoyed it, per...

    Trip Report "Someone please get me one of those tour group flags, please!" - Our Halloween/Anniversary Trip Report!

    I was totally going to add to this today but I confirmed that a pretty decent portion of our photopass pictures are gone. It's super unlike me to not download them but I can't find them on any computer. I do know that they were linked to my Mom's account for a long time via her AP (and she...

    Trip Report "Someone please get me one of those tour group flags, please!" - Our Halloween/Anniversary Trip Report!

    The wait for Winnie the Pooh was very short after we got off, so we hopped in line. Really bad line photos! We were seriously having the best time though. The rain kept the crowds down and I think the four of us were still a bit delirious from our early morning. I haven’t laughed my way...

    Trip Report "Someone please get me one of those tour group flags, please!" - Our Halloween/Anniversary Trip Report!

    Friday, November 2nd 2018: Getting up at 3:30am physically pained me. We had been smart enough to have everything ready laid out the night before so we pretty much just stumbled from bed to clothes to the line for the bus. I have no pictures from the earliest parts of this day, so here’s...

    Trip Report "Someone please get me one of those tour group flags, please!" - Our Halloween/Anniversary Trip Report!

    I'm back? I realized I never actually finished this...and I've been back to the world twice since! I'm going to try and wrap this up- probably briefly because my memory will be more than a little fuzzy! Thursday, November 1st 2018: First up was our breakfast at Olivia's at Old Key West...

    OK, what could Disney do in the parks that you would actually like?

    To be fair, I like most of the updates that are coming. The exception being getting rid of Illuminations- I'll hold out final judgement for the new show but I really wish they'd just updated to a new version of Illuminations. But who knows, I could very well love the new one too. Anyway, I'd...

    Just for fun.... You have the chance to work any job in WDW, what would you like to do??

    Guest Relations, Concierge, Front Desk- something along those lines. I have a background in hospitality and actually really enjoy solving guest problems. Obviously there are the folks you can never make happy but I really enjoy turning someone's day around.

    MNSSHP Continued: We all met up at Big Thunder and enjoyed the wildest ride in the wilderness! Once we were finished it was time for the actual party to start, so we decided to see if we could get in line for Space Mountain. Everyone but my Mom loves the ride and we were all looking forward to...

    Y'all my next trip is in 36 days I have got to finish this thing! MNSSHP Continued: Alright, so I left us on Main Street with a quickly approaching Seven Dwarfs Mine Train fastpass. After we finished with the picture we all headed for Fantasyland. Mine Train remains a favorite for our...
