Thanks for sharing your opinions and helping me think this through, everyone! I have booked TS lunches for our trip (instead of dinners for the most part) specifically for the "sit down and relax for awhile" aspect, and thought it'd give us more flexibility later in the day. I think I'll keep...

So, I made an ADR for Coral Reef for lunch on our upcoming early May trip. I'd seen Lobster Ravioli on the menu which I was excited to try, but it seems those reviews were old and there is no such thing on the menu now. The current menu doesn't seem very exciting to me without that and the...

I didn't realize there was a fireworks cruise. I'll keep that on my mental list for future visits. I think it's best for us not to pay in advance for any nighttime activities this trip and we'll see how it goes. When they get older I know we can do fun things at night, but I don't want to push...

How many car seats does Uber XL give you? Believe it or not, I've never used Uber.

That's what gets me every time. The price seems reasonable, but then times 6?!....nope. I don't think we're going to do it this time since it's their first trip and they won't know the difference, but maybe on a return trip when I know we can all make it all day, we can try it. We are doing some...

Thanks for the advice. I think we’ll ride the bus to HS and walk over. We have 3 kids, 1 in a car seat and 2 in boosters, so I don’t know if Uber would work with oyr party of 6, plus the car seat issue.

My kids will be 9, 7, and 4 for their first trip to WDW. I'm so tempted to sign up for one of the dessert parties, but it'll be expensive for our party of 6, and I'm also not sure if my kids will be too exhausted to go by the end of the day. I'd hate to buy the tickets for it, and then end up...

On our last morning, we have a mid-morning breakfast reservation for Bon Voyage at the Boardwalk. We are staying at Art of Animation and will be using Disney transportation, no rental car. What's the best way to get to our breakfast? I was thinking we could take a bus to Hollywood studios and...

Wow, I am sorry for those who have had a bad experience with their Disney travel agent. I did make a decision on an agent. Ours has been a dream! She’s from a Disney-specific agency and has been available anytime I have needed her. She got us every ADR we wanted at 5 am the morning our window...

If my kids’ grandma was like that, she would’t be invited! She’s easygoing, pleasant, and in better shape than me. She will be quite an asset for us on this trip, and she is thrilled to have another chance to do Disney! I do have curmudgeon family members too, so I can relate. So thankful my MIL...

Thought I’d update some of the decisions we’ve made. Grandma’s coming! And we booked a room at AoA. I know my kids will love the theming there. I also found an awesome deal on flights so went ahead and booked that, too. Now to fill in the details with restaurants and itinerary/game plan. I’m...

I will definitely give her a list of preferences of ours and not just leave it all up to her. Puzzling all the pieces together does not appeal to me. I will narrow it down to our top choices and then delegate. If someone else who knows the ropes can do the booking for me, for free, I'll take it...

I'd like an agent who can book my ADRs, FastPasses, and plan out a day by day itinerary since we're going to do one park a day. So, very involved is what I am looking for. Thanks, DisneyJoe, those are good suggestions!

So, I have two excellent recommendations from personal friends for 2 different Disney travel agents. I've emailed with one and gotten a quote, and I'd like to talk to the other one, too, before I make a decision. I'm sure either one would be good, but how do I decide if I like them both?! What...

Thanks for the replies! I think I'll discuss the specific budget numbers with an agent that a friend has personally recommended. Here's another question, though: I was originally thinking we'd arrive on a Sunday and leave on a Saturday. Then I saw that the nonstop flight times are much more...

So would it be best to go ahead and make a reservation at the current prices, and then apply a discount later, if and when one comes out? I think I am going to get in touch with a Disney vacation planner, but I haven't decided if I'm going to buy tickets from an official reseller or direct from...

Thanks for the input! I know grandma would be thrilled to be able to join us. As long as we can stay under our target budget and bring her along, I think it will be a great trip for the 6 of us. We're looking at early May 2018 for our trip - what are the chances of finding a discount on AoA...

We're a family of 5, kids will be 4, 7, and 9 for our first trip to WDW next year. It is hard enough finding an onsite room for 5, but I'm seriously considering inviting energetic, helpful, easy going grandma to be our 6th person, but that limits our onsite options even more. Budget will keep us...
