    Orlando area toll?

    We just a bought the Sun Pass several years ago. We go frequently enough that it makes it one less thing we have to worry about. I can put $10 on it and will last the entire trip, and still have a bit left over. I bought the pass mainly to save time when we are so close to the finish.

    Traffic From Michigan?

    Next week the traffic in the Atlanta region should be better, as most metro schools will be on Spring Break. The traffic the weekend of April 7-8 coming North (from Florida) will be very heavy if history repeats. It could be worse, today (March 30) is the 1st anniversary of the I-85 bridge...

    Hollywood Studios Attractions

    Tower of Terror, people screaming, people laughing, lots of gasps, it has something for everyone. When you get off, it seems that everyone has had a great time, plus I've had some great CM interactions.

    What do you do after coming back from parks?

    Depending on which park and closing time if it's not late I'll stop by the bar and have a beer. If it's later just back to the room with my wife. Sometimes she will join me, sometimes not. Sometimes we do make the hot tub, but mostly we end up in the room, and reset for the next day.

    News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

    What will this new fee get me that I was not getting prior? The people who drive are already helping to pay for the Disney Magic Express from the airport, as that is part of your room rate.

    Add 1 day to current hopper, or buy 1-day, single-park ticket?

    At one time I seem to remember that you would need to add that extra day prior to using all of your original purchased days. If you take an afternoon or early evening break that would be a good time as the lines would hopefully be shorter. Enjoy your bonus day.

    End of May?

    We use to go when our kids were in school this time of the year. They would get out of school and then off we would go. As you get toward Memorial Day weekend the crowds build, but are manageable. The temps are warm and showers can arrive in the afternoon, but we didn't have them everyday like...

    Night time shows what times are they?

    Illuminations is at closing almost always. If the park closes at 9pm that's when Illuminations will be. During the time of the Candle Light Processional before Christmas it's at 9:30. As others have said the other shows are a varying times depending on closing and such.

    Favorites at California Grill

    Me and my wife each had the filet, mine medium rare and my wife's well done ( she thought it was great). We had the flatbread for an appetizer following the suggestion of our server and it was very good. I would think that no matter what you get it will be very good.

    How to tour Holidays Around the World at Epcot with kids

    I'll second Norway, It's one me and my wife try to catch each year. Enough humor that the kids (and adults) will stay engaged for the whole show. I don't know how the crowds from the new Frozen attraction will impact the crowd, but I would expect it will be more crowded at times. This is also a...

    4 Days at the parks

    I also would at least think about heading over to MK. Going from FW it's a nice boat ride over to the park and would be a nice way to spend the first night. The cost of adding an extra day to your tickets would be about $15 or so to each ticket. I've not been to AK since the new night time...

    Coronado Questions

    We have stayed in buildings 8A or 8B several times and always enjoyed the location. They are near a bus stop, a few minutes walk to the pool, and a little longer to the main building. We don't use the pool much, so being next to it is not a major issue. We do appreciate a short walk when getting...

    Disney Quest Questions

    I remember reading that the plan to close it in the summer of 2016 had been pushed back to some time in 2017. I wouldn't expect it to close until they announce what the replacement would be.

    Which type of ticket to buy?

    Go for the more days and hopper like others have mentioned. Your coming from the west coast, so at 10pm at WDW, it will feel link about 7pm to your body. It will take a few days to adjust, so being able in the evenings to do something different is nice. I always feel its nice to have the freedom...

    And the magic bands got left behind

    Well we have several of the gray ones, still on the cardboard. We got to just keeping them in the Disney pack between trips, and a spare set of the gray ones.

    Mid-Day Water Parks Breaks

    As the water parks are already included in your tickets, I would go for afternoon or two as its already paid for. I know that when we have spent the day at the water park, it really drained us. Make sure to use sunscreen as where you put on for the parks, may not get everywhere in the water...
