We've always found getting to a park on Jan. 1 is a good day to go. Lots of people are up too late the night before and just can't make it to the parks. Add on the football games to the picture and it cuts down on the locals coming out in huge numbers. We probably will opt for SW this year...

Do we even know if this is really what is going to replace the daytime parade? If it is, I say where is the creativity? It is already being done at DHS-maybe different music and characters but been there, done that. I actually love the day time parade they have now at the MK. I think it...

Disney dance party Walt Disney World will premier a daily, live-entertainment event called the "Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It! Street Party">>>> Been there, done that is what it sounds like to me. Why would they do another street dance party parade when they already have one at at DHS? The...

Shhhh. Don't say that too loudly. LOL That is our favorite place to eat in Epcot. We usually can stop at guest relations and get a reservation for the same day.

Hey, you are coming to Florida! Land of the natural look! Leave everything but the basics at home. LOL No one here will remember or think anything about what color eye shadow you wear-even if it is the same color everyday. I'd pack my moisturizer in a baggie and a small makeup bag in my...

There are usually 2 huge walrus in Wild Arctic and at the end of most of the Clyde and Seamore shows there is a huge walrus that you can get a great picture of-out of the water. One year when we were at SW during a very slow day we were the only people at the walrus windows for a long time...

Did you mean the 31st for NYE or are you really looking for a place the night before?

And if the kids are small the Gulf is shallower with a more regular bottom to walk on with less wave action on the shore so it is less scary for little ones. On the Atlantic side sometimes the water is only knee deep and the next step you can be underwater. Because of the sandbars you might be...

Haven't ever been to either but from website looks like a great place to go. so would be a good option. They are a couple hours from the Orlando area without taking into account the traffic on I- etc. , though so not in the closest beach range. If you decide to go that far, I like Pass-e-...

The last 2 times I have been at the MK ( Sept and Nov of this year) we have arrived at the park in the afternoon. Parked, gotten on the tram that was already sitting there, and waited for 5-10 minutes before the tram finally left the parking area. Even Disney is cutting back. They try to run...

We love the food at SW. I always tell people we bring with us that I eat my way through the park. LOL Our favorites are the BBQ platters from Smokey Creek. My husband and I usually share a 2 meat platter/fries/cole slaw and cheese cake for lunch. Our sons generally eat their way through a...

Not really many beaches have the boardwalks with shops. Closest beach is Cocoa Beach. It does not have a boardwalk, but there is Ron Johns Surf shop that is huge and has all kinds of stuff in it. Next door is another surf shop which has a lot of different stuff in it too. It is about a...

Can't wait to go. Will have to schedule a Christmas outing to SW with all our friends. Pass holders also get a better discount in the stores right now, too. So don't forget to show your card. Last year I bought some of my gifts there.

Haven't seen it yet. All I know is it is 22 minutes and is called Shamu's Christmas Miracles so not the regular Believe Show or Shamu Rocks. It is an evening show just before park closing. I am also not sure if it will be on the schedule after Christmas week. I imagine it is it is sort of a...

Polar Express runs till Jan 4 but last year they extended it because people loved it so much. There is a Christmas Shamu show. There will be a NYE celebration in the park-music/fireworks. There is a new show in the Nautilus theater- A'lure the Call of the Ocean I haven't been for a few...

Man, I am feeling old reading this thread. I remember the year the MK opened because I was in Florida for spring break, but drove right on by on 1-4 because it was raining on the East Coast and went to Tampa for the remaining part of the week. We went to Busch Gardens instead when it was...

I go more often than the "average Joe" that comes to Disney for a 1 time experience or maybe even every 4 or 5 years and I still thought the show was awesome when I watched the video. After a year of no holiday fireworks at Disney I would not even have noticed what was missing and really don't...

I forgot to look when we were there last week. Are they putting lights on the backside of the castle this year or just the front and sides like last year? Can't wait to go back and see the castle lit up again this year.

How far South are you going for the week at the beach? Central Florida ocean temp might be a little cold by then. Temperature of the water has already began to drop to the point that it was chilly in the water this week. ( but I live here and get cold easily) Layering is the way to go ...
