    You beat me too it - it was packaged with UK ticket package and never showed and when I turned up on site the photos just started coming through

    Options for children?

    I 100% agree We have a 13 day trick booked October next year and we are planning table meals so that all are buffet. One exception is coral reef as the kids love it - but our top tip was because the baby didnt get a dining credit, we went to seasons in land, got a salmon plate meal using QS...

    Transportation from GF

    I would always use bus from HS - it is efficient Tricky from GF to epcot - long way to TTC - I reckon this is a 30-40 mins trip with waits, changes, etc. The bus could be so much quicker if you walk straight on one, but much longer if a wait. We used to like convenience of wheelign stroller...

    Thinking of staying at OKW

    This is really interesting as a thread. As I read through I realise I cant answer your question. When we are paying for the premium of disney hotels, the more I stay and ponder, the more I realise they are genius in offering so many elements to balance that there are so many choices. So I have...

    First trip from UK with 2 small kids. Help in general planning.

    I would not understimate the convenience of the boat to disney springs from POR - there is so much going on there now and it is nice to get away from theme parks in the evening. In terms of rides, 4.5 is a tricky age - 40 and 42 inches are key heights that allow a lot - as I just posted in...

    Rider Swap question

    Yes - it is awesome It meant I ended up going through rides twice with my kids as by the time it came to it my wife kept freaking out and so we essentially had a free three person fastpass - and it lasts a week!!! It is probably one of the easiest and under used tools at WDW

    (Parents) Best way to handle 7mo old while in line?

    my view on this is simple - dont wait in line! We have just come back from 3 weeks in the summer and we based all our touring plans on fastpasses, rides with low lines, etc - if the line was up, we didnt do it - the only exception is when 9 month old was asleep and an adult would take the two...

    One Year Old Tips- finger foods & hotel sleeping

    Did with my then 9 month old in the summer - be he ate like a 12 month old. You can buy from amazon a great hand powered food blender - breaks up fruit, cheese, fish, etc to make baby meals and we used buffets - fruit everywhere we just let him munch on and lots of soft fish, etc. For toast...

    Nov 2017 Deluxe Resort Help

    Not stayed, but looked around and I think the tower is great and again, thinking of the kids, having access to the kitchen or kitchenette is useful - microwave a snack, make some toast - I always think of them first because if it works for them, it is more of a vacation for us. After our most...

    Debating on Renting at OKW or staying at a Moderate? My Experience...

    I have never done a value or mod on site, but lots of off site 'stuff'. I have done GF and OKW twice and would say that OKW worked for us with a hire car - drive straight to the door, shopping, stuff, etc and never a wait for buses etc - with one exception - magic kingdom. That is worth the bus...

    Nov 2017 Deluxe Resort Help

    It is very tricky. I have stayed in WL for 3 hours (long story), Grand floridian (why is this not on your list) and extensively visited Contemporary and Poly. Rather than telling you what to do, I would suggest you focus on the age of your kids and how you expect you will vacation. For...

    travel with kids

    Then you must be there at rope drop and straight to fantasyland Quite small - relatively - beat the queues and about as quiet as it gets as an area at that time of day For example, the characters in the sideshow tents - air conditioned, indoors and feels quite 'calm' Add small world, Peter...

    2017 Packages/Pricing are now out!

    This is really interesting every year as we have had them for months in UK - booked for meeting in october at beach club - but since we pay more, not the best deal! The dinning plan changes have been discussed, but seem very sensible - the dessert from QS goes in the bin, so snacks seem...

    travel with kids

    In my opinion, this is the best time of year. I did it with those ages and here are some thoughts:- - They wont get anything out of halloween party - too young, anything fun too creepy even for those ages - cancel or sell tickets and add antoerh day in park IMO. - Go first thing am - kids up...

    Visiting in July / August - what does 'busy' look like?

    Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful reply This very much fits what my instincts were and it seems that our way of doing the parks will suite this well - out early and pm by the pool with occasional evening re visit. Thanks so much

    Visiting in July / August - what does 'busy' look like?

    Hi all, Once again work is looking likely to bring me to Orlando, but in the middle of next summer - this means that it will be UK summer vacation, so the family and kids can join me and we can extend into a holiday (not past 24th august when crowds drop unfortunately). As a child, we always...

    Trip Report Disney does it again! December 2014

    A conference took place in Orlando in December and I had to attend. I decided to bring my family - wife, 4 year old, 3 year old. We didn't tell the kids we were going - just 'for daddy's work and to a pool in america'. Before we went, problems started - booking meals seems harder now than...

    earliest I can book a DVC property as a standard paid hotel room?

    But what about booking as a standard hotel room through Disney - should this be availed now and is sold out or does this not become availed until 11 or 7 months? Thanks
