Headed to WDW 11/26-12/3. I had booked POR, but changed our reservation to CSR today after the kids saw a video of the pool there and flipped out about how cool it is. :) I know there are some room refurbishments happening. The agent I spoke with to change our reservation said they hadn't...

Last year we went in mid-April. Since Easter was early in 2016 (in March), most of the spring break crowds had subsided by the time of our trip. (Our kids' spring break was really late for whatever reason). I don't know if we just lucked out, but the weather was gorgeous our entire trip! Low 80s...

I wish we could go for 2 weeks!! That would be amazing. I think we would stay at the first resort (likely whichever moderate we choose- POR or CSR- Sunday through Wednesday, then WL on Thurs, Fri, Sat. All depends on the rates at the time....

Thanks so much!! I thought the lodge was called Fort Wilderness Lodge; sorry for the confusion! It sounds like a split stay wouldn't be too difficult from a logistics perspective. Maybe we'll end up trying it! I'd love to experience 2 different resorts, especially if that's how we're able to...

We're planning to visit Disney the week after Thanksgiving this year, Sunday 11/26-Sunday 12/3. My fingers are crossed that free dining becomes available this week. If not, we may change our trip dates. Regardless, I'd love to get opinions on staying half the week at one resort (likely POR or...

Totally get it now, I was explaining why I asked the question in the first place; I didn't realize making a change = a new reservation altogether. Thanks so much for your help!

This is really helpful to understand! We've only been to WDW once before with kids and didn't book through Disney, so I am no expert on the ins and outs of how changes are made. My assumption was that if free dining become available, we could simply add the offer to our existing package, and...

I'm thrilled to be planning a WDW vacation this year! We're targeting the week of 11/26-12/2. I've heard some rumors the free dining promo might be offered that week, but obviously it's too soon to know. Yesterday I booked Port Orleans Riverside, but I read that resort is typically excluded from...

Cool- thanks everyone!!

Questioning whether to add Pirates or Haunted Mansion for the 4th FP I'm hoping to add day-of. We would be adding this after 2:00. Which would you choose? Both are "must do's" so if we can't score a 4th FP for one then a 5th for the other, we'll wait in line. This is for next Monday, and it's...

Thanks!!

We are staying at a vacation home in Clermont for part of our Disney trip next week. To get to the Magic Kingdom, Mapquest has us taking US 127 south to 192 E/ Irv Bronson highway on to World Drive. Do we need tolls for this route? Also, I've read that taking Sherberth Road to Osceola Parkway...

This is really great advice. Thanks!!

We'll spend most of Saturday at the pool and some breaks built in, not every day will be a full day at the parks. Definitely want to soak this time in! :) Just wondering if we would like to go to a park for dinner and to catch a few more rides, where you would go?

We have 7 days planned at the parks for our first family trip to WDW: Monday MK Tues AK Wed HS (including Fantasmic & Star Wars fireworks) Thurs MK again (arrival around lunchtime, staying through Wishes Fri EP (including Illuminations) Saturday resort pool all day, afternoon and pm at ...

Ok, Pan first it is! Thanks for the help. everyone!

Day one at MK, we have a FP for Pan's Flight at 9:30, Space Mountain at 10:55 and Splash Mt. at 12:30. Current plan is below. Moderate crowd day (6). Ideally I would have a Space Mountain FP first so we could go there 1st and not backtrack, but none are available earlier than 10:55. That's a...

Good reminder :) and thanks!!!

I planned our week at Disney so that on Thursday, 4/21 we'd be at MK and at Epcot on Friday. An After Hours Event at MK was just announced for Thursday and I'm wondering how that might impact crowds. We are planning to stay for Wishes. I was debating swapping those days, and doing Epcot...

Ok, that's our plan then! Thanks again for the help!
