Wednesday, October 31st 2018 Continued: Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party It was finally time! We once again had really good luck with the buses at Pop- I can only think of one time we waited much longer than 10-15 minutes. Our room this time was also so close to the main building, I think...

Wednesday, October 31st 2018: Happy Halloween! Y'all I can't even tell you how long I've wanted to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and how absolutely excited I was that it was finally the day! We planned to take advantage of the early entry for the party and have a leisurely...

My family wasn't getting in until later that evening so we changed and headed for the food court for some lunch. I got pizza with a side of macaroni and cheese. Daniel got the meatloaf. I live for Disney's mac and cheese- it's the perfect cheese, I swear. We also opted to try a rapid refill...

Tuesday, October 30th 2018: Our alarm went off at 4:15am and I thought getting up might be a struggle but I was absolutely ready! We woke up and packed the few things we had brought in with us before heading down to check out. The agent working the front desk asked if we were going to Disney...

We have so much snow! It just kept coming down after I posted this. Honestly it's early for us to have as much as we do and it is showing no signs of another melt off before winter. :( The good news is that Daniel did stay healthy and I had zero issues this time! Well, I at least waited until...

Monday, October 29th 2018: It was finally the day! Too bad it required both Daniel and I working a full day before leaving for the airport. I ended up skipping my normal lunch period so I could leave at four instead of five which just made the day feel longer than it even was. It was nice to...

It's been just a few days since we returned home from our favorite place and I'm a bit sad about it. To help me get over the post-Disney depression (with a sizeable dose of "oh my god lake effect snow already" sadness), I thought I would start this trip report. Quick recap! This trip was...

I never came back to update this and now it's too late- today is the day! I've got less than an hour left at work and then we hit the road to Detroit. Our flight to Orlando leaves at 6:35am tomorrow! So excited! See you all on the other side!

We watched HEA from Frontierland on the last trip and it was nice. Sure, we missed the projections but we still really enjoyed the show! So the hub may be preferred but to say it's unwatchable from elsewhere seems extreme.

You're not wrong here. I'm helping family friends plan their first trip in sixteen years and it'll be there first with their kids (14 and 11). Thinking about all the changes from their perspective has really reminded me of how over complicated this process has become.

I will definitely do that.

I've been very easy on Disney in the past but I'm starting to feel burned on these increases. We've had our trip at the end of the month booked since January- now just this week I read that they increased some Food & Wine prices mid-festival? All these little prices increases are just a lot...

So looking forward to your report! I thought of you all often over the last couple of weeks- glad you had a good time!

I'm super curious to see how this plays out. My husband and I are fortunate that we aren't tied to certain times of the year, so that helps. I do feel bad for anyone who is tied to school breaks. That's going to be pricey! My parents are actually gifting a trip to very close family friends this...

This is such a good summary of what working in hospitality is. I left my front desk job for higher ed almost two years ago and I'm in the process of figuring out how to get back to a similar position (give me disgruntled guests over university faculty any day). Anyway, I always found it odd the...

This is it exactly. We always loved a mid-day visit to RPW! It never felt as crowded as the rest of the park. We loved those rainforest listening booths too. I've always said AK is a full day park but this loss might change that for me.

I've stayed at All Star Movies and Pop Century (before that we always stayed offsite). First, I like staying onsite. I'd find it difficult to go back to staying offsite. I like the ease of using the Magical Express, access to EMH, and booking FPs 60 days out. I know the bus system isn't perfect...

We loved this event so much last January (despite my husband being super sick at the time) that we just booked a room to go back in February. I know it's crazy expensive but it was so nice being in a park that empty. The plan is to fly in on Wednesday, do DAH Thursday, and get 2 day non-hoppers...

I still think it's hurts your comparison though. Running similar dates for August 2019, I was able to find AirBnBs very close to WDW for less than $1,000 total. That would change the end total for a Disney vacation drastically. The same would occur if you looked for a hotel reservation for...

I feel like the All Star Sports (where I assume you're needing two rooms) versus a 3 bedroom AirBnB is a bit unfair? They really aren't the same thing. My husband and I were pricing out London hotels for a potential trip this year and the budget options were running us about the same as your...
