    Two year old's first time/tips and tricks

    I have one other must-do to add... the Disney Junior show in DHS. Its a fancy puppet show with Doc, Sofia, Jake, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. My daughter lost her mind during the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse part. No hot dog song though. That was both disappointing and awesome all at the same time...

    Suggestions for a romantic evening dinner at Disney Springs or Boardwalk?

    Before (or after) dinner, I recommend stopping at the Belle Vue Lounge in the Boardwalk. It is right of the lobby. It is quiet and cozy, plus there are radios at the tables that play old-timey music and shows.

    How to maneuver through parks with small children

    I recommend the carrier. We took our daughter at 3 months and 15 months. She still wasn't walking at 15 months, and it got really heavy carrying her in the lines. We would mostly use the stroller, but we would put her in the carrier if the line was over 10-15 minutes long. We stashed the...

    Best restaurants on short notice

    We wing it all the time with reservations. I generally just open up the MDE app in the morning, pick a time for that day, and see what is available. We have ended up having some great meals that way in places we wouldn't have gone to. We have found better luck looking for lunches rather than...

    Am I missing something that is going on Oct 10-17

    It's probably due to the free dining plan. That drives more people to go to the restaurants, and you picked the most popular ones. We had the same problem with a trip in Sept. The parks were not full by any means (<20 minutes for most rides), but the popular restaurants were. We had problems...

    What to do with 15 month old?

    We took our daughter at 15 months, and she was not walking yet. We tried to keep her in the stroller as much as possible, and we mostly used a carrier in the lines. Sometimes we would just hold her, but your arms can get tired if the lines are long. She could walk a little bit if we held her...

    Amazon Pantry?

    I haven't used Amazon Pantry yet, but I have used gardengrocer.com. They will deliver wine and beer. You have to scan your license and send it to them to prove that you are of age, and they deliver straight to the resort. If you aren't there to get your delivery, bell services will hold it...

    No dining reservations

    We usually go in Sept. Except for the super popular restaurants, I generally do our reservations either the night before or the morning of. You will have much better luck with lunch reservations than with dinner, and you will have better luck at Epcot than at the MK. I've never tried walking...

    Best time to go in September...

    We always go the week of Labor Day, and the crowds are not bad. The weekend before Labor Day, it has been decently crowded, but it drops off starting on Labor Day. If there are evening EMH in a park, that one will always be more crowded later in the day. If there is a MNSSHP, the Magic...

    Halloween 2015 - Please help English first time visitor

    It is no problem if your groceries arrive before you do. I have used Garden Grocer for my past three trips. On two of the three trips, the groceries beat us to the resort. Bell Services will keep your cold items cold until you arrive. When you get to the hotel, all you have to do is call...

    Studios to Epcot

    The walk is faster than the boat. I always do the walk, and my parents always take the boat. I don't think they have ever beaten us to Epcot, even if the boat is boarding right when they get to the dock. The portion of the walk between DHS and the Boardwalk is not very interesting. The...

    reservation with 1 year old

    I was actually allowed to take a sleeping baby in a stroller in the Garden Grill, so that shows how inconsistent it can be. The only place we have never been able to bring a stroller into is the Crystal Palace.

    reservation with 1 year old

    You are supposed to include him, but you will be OK if you didn't. I did the exact same thing with my daughter the first time we took her when she was 3mo. I got a reservations for BoG, but didn't include her. They were fine with it and got us a table anyway. It's hit or miss whether you...

    Chef Mickeys or Tusker House?

    I like Chef Mickey's better for breakfast and Tusker house for everything else. I greatly prefer the buffet at Tusker House, but I also love Indian food.

    Bringing Car seats?

    We have flown several times with a car seat. We always wrap ours in two heavy duty garbage bags, and then wrap some packing tape around it. We have never had any damage. If you use our method, I recommend packing scissors, extra garbage bags, and tape in your suitcase. The scissors are for...

    Disney with an infant

    I have a couple of tips for doing sit down dinners with a baby. First, include your daughter in the reservation count, even if she isn't going to sit at the table. I know that seems obvious, but I didn't do that for my daughter's first trip and had to explain it at every restaurant. Second...

    Disney with an infant

    My daughter has been three times: at 3 months, 15 months, and 27 months. The first trip was by far the easiest. My tips for you: 1. Make sure you take a baby carrier. Even little babies can get heavy while waiting in line. 2. Get a stroller that folds easily, but can still accommodate a...

    Infant carrier on rides

    We had our daugher in a baby bjorn, facing me, at 3 months. We only had an issue on 1 ride. The rule when we were there was that the baby could stay in the carrier as long as it could fit under any lap constraints. That is really hard to do on Toy Story Mania. It makes it pretty much...

    Little girls in princess dresses

    We found some cotton princess-like outfits at Babies R Us that worked. We tried the fancy princess dresses, but they were too hot and itchy to last through the day. The cotton one worked great.
