    Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2017

    Wasn't planning on another WDW trip until January, but now I'm thinking of tossing in a weekend at the end of September for MNSSHP and Food & Wine. Figure I'll get the most out of my AP while I have it, as I'm likely not renewing it.

    Keys to the Kingdom Tour

    Did the tour last year and it was fantastic. Definitely worth the cost.

    "That" Attraction

    Dumbo. Was my first ride ever at WDW, and I'll ride it every time I go the parks no matter how old I get. And I will always visit Figment, even though his ride is meh.

    Best Place to stay for Tokyo Disney

    That's exactly it - I want to give the parks their due, but when I'm making this trip it's to see the countries and their offerings, not just Disney. There is so much to experience, and I want the time to enjoy it, not just be ticking boxes off a checklist of landmarks as I rush from place to...

    Best Place to stay for Tokyo Disney

    Will do! Not sure exactly when we will be getting out there, but it will definitely be by 2020. So many moving parts to nail down first. Trying to also take into account all the expansion projects, etc. which may have us shift our travel times somewhat. We are also planning a separate trip to...

    Best Place to stay for Tokyo Disney

    A friend and I are planning a trip to Asia that will be commencing in the next couple years. We are planning to go all out, and are taking the time to really set aside money so that we will be able to travel extensively throughout Japan. As a Disney fan, I certainly plan to see the parks while...

    Anyone booked JetBlue WDW Vacation Packages?

    Make sure you price out what everything would be separately compared to the price of the package. I've found that often I'd be paying more for the package rate than if I booked everything on my own. I'm sure there are markets for which the package is better, but on the whole I've personally...

    The Swan and Dolphin with a teacher discount or a moderate resort?

    Just came back from a stay at the Dolphin and was very pleased with the stay. It is deluxe level, and there's nothing beating taking a stroll around the boardwalk first thing in the morning or after dark. Just booked another room there for early next year.

    Disability Assistance

    That CM was misinformed. As has been stated by others, you can stop in at Guest Services in the parks to obtain the DAS. An autism/Aspergers diagnosis absolutely qualifies. Doctors notes are not required or asked for, though I know that some families carry that information with them regardless...

    Sonny Eclipse - visibly 'spaced out' ( but now repaired! )

    Was in Magic Kingdom yesterday and Sonny was singing and playing along as usual. Looks like he's recovered! :)

    Touring Plans

    Case in point - we're on our way to Disney tonight and our flight ran into massive delays. Our original plan had us in MK all day tomorrow. Tested out another plan that cut out rope drop and has us arriving a couple hours after opening so we can attempt to recoup some lost sleep. With the help...

    Grab and go at the Dolphin?

    Staying at the Dolphin for the first time this trip and fairly unfamiliar with its quick service options - what's the best place to go in the morning to just grab a pastry or something before heading out to the parks?

    Touring Plans

    If you're willing to be the one to put the nuts and bolts of the touring plan together based on input from her, it might go a long way to getting her on board. My sister and many of my friends are not planners when it comes to vacation - they plan the basics and the rest is kept very loose. The...

    What are some "Traditions" Your Family has when you go on a Disney Vacation?

    - Dumbo and Peter Pan are our first rides in MK - Must ride Haunted Mansion until Ezra is the ghost following us home - Eat at Flying Fish Cafe (which may no longer be the case - we always went for the snapper, which is no longer there) - trick our mother onto both Everest and RnRC, since she...

    Touring Plans

    Been using them for years, and find that they tend to be very accurate. Even though I've been so many times and tend to have my own methods down for the specific things I want to do, I still use their touring plan feature - I find their data very helpful when factoring crowd levels and wait...

    Things to discuss with a large group the week before departure

    Agree with @CaptainAmerica - discussing finances and the possibility of splitting up and regrouping later at a set location (either a meal time or FP) can make a huge difference with large groups. I think you've got a pretty comprehensive list there. Make sure they understand just how much...

    Yacht Club Reviews?

    Love staying at the Yacht Club. Whenever I have an opportunity to go deluxe I tend to stay there. Proximity to everything is great.

    Trip Club March 2017

    Feb. 28 - March 5, staying at the Dolphin for a change. Going with a friend who hasn't been since '09, so this will be a lot of fun! Looking forward to Flower & Garden as well.

    WDWMAGIC Takes the Cake - The Official Cake Talk

    @HouCuseChickie , have you heard anything further about the future of cake orders in Magic Kingdom?

    Breakfast: Garden Grill or Cape May ?

    We went to Garden Grill for the first time in about 20 years this past October and it was delightful for breakfast. Definitely recommend it.
