    One night stay over at a Disney Hotel

    I've done it before. We live 3.5 hours away, so we've done the getting up at 5:00am, drive up and get to the hotel by 8:30 and hop on a bus to the park. The hotels are fun. I don't hang around them much, we spend most of our time in the parks. The buses are going to be crowded in the early...

    How to be Disney Productive when you can't sleep??

    How many days are you there? What are your goals while there? Trying to see everything or only a couple of parks? It's going to be hot and humid when you go. Leave the long sleeves and jeans behind, unless you're planning a nice dinner. Most 20 year olds are on a budget so I don't think is...

    Adjoining Rooms? How hard are they to get?

    They can't guarantee the request but on our last trip we got them. We wanted 4 adjoining rooms but they don't have that, so we got 2 sets of adjoining rooms. We called a couple of times in the weeks leading up to our arrival and we got it.

    How to fight post-Disney trip depression?

    I'm usually a little bumed when we return, but once I get into my routine it gets easy to not think about it. Between running my business, kids, coaching, etc. I keep pretty busy. It helps not to think about it. It does help that I go regularly. We were there in February and we are going in...

    Repeat visitors--any tips?

    I've been going to Disney at least once a years since I was a kid. Sometimes we make multiple trips in a year. There are always certain must dos on every trip. Big Thunder, Splash, Space, Pirates, Soarin', Rockin' Rollercoaster. Those are a few of our must dos. There's some that we won't be...

    Ever gone to Disney and skipped the Parks entirely?

    Blasphemy! That's like going to Paris and not going to see the Eiffel Tower. Going to Rome and not visiting the Colliseum or St Peter's Square, it's just not done. I could go and not spend the entire time in the parks. I've wanted to go with the wife and have some more adult friendly...

    Family of 5 in a minivan

    My neighbor has one of these. They are six and when they travel they need all the room they can get. They use one of these and it suits there needs. One other thing is to try and pack as light as you can to maximize space. You're going in May/June. It's going to be hot so leave the pants...

    What About A Boys Cruise?

    Exactly. There has to be single women available or it's a no. Disney cruises would tend to be families. There are singles cruises out there, but I don't think Disney offers the.

    The "Skip It" List

    Dining plan. It's a lot of food, but it's also pricey. With food I want value because the food at Disney is over priced. MK: I skip It's A Small World, Tomorrowland Speedway and Astro Orbitor. We don't skip Alladin because we arrive for rope drop and head to Adventureland first. There's...

    Banned from the Shops at Walt Disney World.... by my Wife.

    I think what you are doing is typical of people when looking at other places/people in their field. As someone that is in real estate/construction, I am quick to point out flaws in construction. My last few trips I've seen the construction of the 7 Dwarfs Mine Train and I've examined the...

    what's wrong with Epcot

    The problem was that to the average person it was seen as too educational. The average person didn't want to learn anything while on vacation. Sadly it's just the world we live in. We keep playing down to the dumber and dumber of our society. The average person can tell you who's winning...

    Going in The Beginning of December...Tips and Ideas

    Great time to go. The kids are still in school so you don't have to deal with the nightmare holiday crowds but you'll see the parks all decked out for the holidays. MK has it's Very Merry Christmas Party. Its separately priced. There is much debate about whether it's worth it or not, but...

    Early November?

    November is a great time to visit. If Veterans Day falls on a weekend, then keep in mind it's a long weeks so you might see a little more people. We've experienced it in the past, but the crowds are very manageable. The kids are in school. By Veterans Day the Christmas lights are all up so...

    Alligator Roams MK Parking Lot

    Doubtful. Gators are typically afraid of humans. Once they start coming around and lose that fear, they become a nuisance. Usually it's because people were giving it handouts. It would probably have to be put down.

    Anyone ever booked last minute & got a good deal....?

    Five months isn't a "last minute deal." It's pretty common to get last minute deals. At least not in the U.S. By the currency symbol you are using, I am assuming you are from Britain. I've gotten last minute deals for cruises and flights. Airlines, agents and such would rather discount...

    shuttle/bus from Miami airport to Orlando

    When you consider arriving an hour or two before the flight, the one hour flight and retrieving your bag it's over 3 to 3.5 hours which is what it takes to drive and it's cheaper. In a 4 cylinder car it's about $15 in gas, $15 in tolls from the airport and there are 4 res stops along the way...

    one night, kids staying in the room with the grandmas, what do you do?

    EPCOT is always a good idea because you try some adult beverages from around the world and dine at a country if your choosing. The Boardwalk is right behind EPCOT so you venture there too for some more adult time.
