    Coolest themed restaurants for kids - my plan

    Looking at this now. Does this card re-enable/re-charge you annually or more? That is my only concern. I would use it this one trip and maybe several years down the road, but unlikely to use again and don't want to keep getting hit with a $50 charge

    Coolest themed restaurants for kids - my plan

    Thanks for the tips. Push comes to shove, I'm definitely shying away from Space 220 due to significant cost jump vs other options and I've heard over and over a mixed bag on the atmosphere and food. Friends went, said experience was "kinda" cool and the food was meh at best. Showed my wife the...

    Wilderness Lodge Vs Beach Club

    Sounds like Disney is once again happy to collect people's money but unprepared to deliver. If the skyliner can't run frequently due to storms (and that part of FL gets them faily in summer?) and they advertise their transportation as an included perk of paying extra to stay on property...they...

    Coolest themed restaurants for kids - my plan

    Just looking over the thread I saw a few suggestions to check out Storybook dining at Artist Point. It's tempting to cut out T-Rex or Toothsome Emporium on one of the off nights to check this out (assuming I can even get a reservation with an alert). I suspect it would be an upgrade in food and...

    Coolest themed restaurants for kids - my plan

    My 3rd choice if those 2 don't work out is Coral Reef. The beauty of these newer restaurants opening up (like BoG relieved some pressure on CRT, now Space 220 and soon Toy Story BBQ place) is the older ones that were tough to get before are now more attainable. They seem to realize also the new...

    Coolest themed restaurants for kids - my plan

    I've heard similar on both fronts. Atmosphere is definitely the #1 driver for me in all my choices. The kids are picky, but will eat something off most kids menus. My Wife and I eat almost everything but I want the experience to be something the kids remember. Disney, rightfully so, seems to...

    Coolest themed restaurants for kids - my plan

    I'm at day 61! Tomorrow is my first big day, waking up at 6 am to book our first full park day at AK. Right now I'm leaning towards Yak and Yeti for lunch if I can land it. Lately I've noticed a lot of the good restaurants are gone quicker. I have to get up each day at 6am and hope to get the...

    Are MagicBands Needed?

    Just to update I went ahead and bought solid color MB2 for each of us. They were $19.99 ea and arrived in about a week or so. I would have loved to avoid spending more money, but you guys convinced me that trying to use my phone to check 5 of us into rides etc was going to be a huge PITA. For a...

    How Many Days for You? Part 12

    61 days to first park visit! Tomorrow I finally get to book my first dining reservation (we're staying off property so I will be waking up at 6 am each morning to do my best). I have 3 free dining alert sites setup and 1 paid alert site with like 25 alerts. Hoping to land my first or second...

    DHS New Roundup Rodeo BBQ sit-down restaurant coming to TSL

    Without having actually been to the park since 1990, so take my opinion with a heavy grain. I believe every land needs at east 1 more ride of any level. There just don't appear to be enough total to absorb the throngs. I mean SWL cost over a billion right ? Shops and theming are great, but 2 rides?

    DHS A First Timer’s Review of Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    Great review OP. This will be first rime for my kids and wife and I have not been in ages (me was 1990 when called MGM) .......With the large lines etc due to lack of rides I can still make this a whole day park, and keep kids interested? We plan to ride most stuff but maybe skip a few due to...

    DHS New Roundup Rodeo BBQ sit-down restaurant coming to TSL

    Yet by my calculation the land has more rides than the (larger footprint?) Starwars land (3>2). Personally my 3 kids are psyched for TSL and SDD. I look forward to riding it as well. The park itself has a lack of rides so not sure why the area with perhaps the most (3???) Is getting shade.

    Magic Kingdom closing at 6pm 3x in one week? (Nov 8, 10, 11 - 2022)

    Yep, my kids are old enough to not have to leave for naps, but young enough (6,7,9.5) that we will be eating dinner between 4-6:30pm if we can. I like your ideas though. In this case the simple swap with Uni should suffice.

    Magic Kingdom closing at 6pm 3x in one week? (Nov 8, 10, 11 - 2022)

    ok I guess I'm just really late to the party - no pun intended. Glad I caught it, as I am about to go wild with my dining reservations and dining alerts (being off property I have to wait to book each day as they are revealed). I was able to modify my day and swap with a trip to Universal, and...

    Magic Kingdom closing at 6pm 3x in one week? (Nov 8, 10, 11 - 2022)

    Do they carry on the christmas party nights other weeks? I could see doing one a week throughout the season but 3 just feels excessive to me. As you can probably tell I have not been on a full Disney trip since 1990 (went for 1 single day ~ 2009). So I am not used to all the changes that have...

    Magic Kingdom closing at 6pm 3x in one week? (Nov 8, 10, 11 - 2022)

    Thanks for the info...........I'm not going to a park that closes at 6pm. That's robbery. Sorry but these special parties are overdone. 3x in one single week?

    Magic Kingdom closing at 6pm 3x in one week? (Nov 8, 10, 11 - 2022)

    Is there something special going on that week? It's the week I go so of course I'm annoyed. Scrambling around my reservations because MK closes ridiculously early. Wed the 9 is my only option now and of course its extended evening for on property guests (I'm off property). So it will be busy I'm...

    and even without raising the stand alone prices, the "free" things you mentioned aren't so free when it comes with indefinite monthly recurring charge to your favorite CC.

    News Disney Explores Amazon Prime-Like Membership Program to Offer Discounts and Perks

    I think most people don't care all that much about corporations who are tracking activity to sell stuff. It's when the govt and other unknowns (China, bad actors etc) are spying on your online behavior it gets very creepy very fast.
