Can you please tell me how to view an extended tourinplans.com calendar? The one online appears to only go through mid Decemeber, but you're talking about May? Does that require a purchase or subscription of some sort on that site? Thanks in advance.

Great idea/s. Hadn't thought of these before. Thanks for contributing. One note - do the hospital tags say the kids name? If so I've read that to protect the child you're not supposed to include the child's name (hate the thought of it but I guess if someone was mal-intended they could use the...

Pray tell - what is the "Unofficial Guide Crowd Calendar"?? I booked our vacation for first week in Dec specifically because what I could find online suggested this was absolutely 100% the best time of the year to do WDW.

Hi all - the only time we've been to WDW is in the spring/summer when generally it's still light out when we're leaving the parks. But we'll be going again here in a couple weeks and it gets dark early now. We're actually really excited to be able to spend so many hours in the parks with all...

This is how the child swap works: You walk up the the CM standing guard at the fast-pass entrance. The whole family has to be there (they want to ensure you really are doing a valid child swap and not getting free "fast passes"). You tell that CM you need child swap pass/es. One parent (parent...

This site has kinda a cool concept. I did a google search for "Magic Kingdom Virtual Tour" and got this: http://fizzual.com/jba-magickingdommap.shtml When you click on an item on the map it takes you straight to a google/youtube video of that attraction

Wow - some great stories here. Thanks everyone (and keep 'em coming - not trying to shut the conversation down). Guess I'm not well versed enough in some of the other AP discounts because yeah, with approx $50 lodging with the AP discount that could be the way to go.

Weird - we called in our reservations in September (for December - leaving in a few weeks!). But that's good to know - for the next trip maybe it'll help to be able to reserve so far in advance.

Chiming in on this thread... I will eat about anything - so I'm afraid I can't be trusted for a review on the food. All tasted great to me. But what I love is the atmosphere. I know - you get "atmosphere" all around WDW... but this place is COOL. Just looks amazing inside with the cars...

Both the food and the characters at Hollywood and Vine at Hollywood Studios were awesome. The playhouse disney characters are perhaps not the most recognizable to all generations but the kids probably recognize them better than goofy! Our kids loved it. The characters did more than just come...

Hi all - had a weird experience trying to book Mama Melrose's so we could get priority seating for Fantasmic. I was told when I booked my vacation (many months in advance) that I would not be able to book dining until 90 days prior to the vacation - no sooner. So - 95 days prior (or so) we...

Got it - Thanks Zjer. Good thing they just installed hand sanitizers everywhere :)

A question to ask before that - what to people say about how good this restaurant is? It looks AWESOME inside. I haven't eaten there but have read less-than-stellar things about the food. It's too bad, 'cause we nearly booked a reservation there because it's such a fun atmosphere but then read...

So are others in line passing you by as you sit and play video games?? Sorry - not grasping the concept of playing stationary video games while waiting in line. Will be there in a few weeks and can check it out but can you explain?

wow - You're the REAL fan. :) Maybe 7 hrs isn't so bad after all to plan a handful of trips to merit the AP

Hahaha. Although some of us will get that tour soon enough. :animwink: Not crazy about Soarin', actually. Feels like I'm sitting in front of a huge screen with a movie of landscapes zipping by, and some dude's feet dangling above me... oh - that's 'cause that's what it is.

My wife and I forced, really forced, a reluctant 5 year old to go on Splash Mtn and Kali River Rapids. He loved them tho and kept getting back in line time after time after time (not sure that makes up for it).

We have a 7-hr drive to get to WDW... if it was less... say 5 or less, we might be tempted to get an annual pass. Any of you have annual passes with really bad travel to Orlando area? Or are annual passes being used mostly by locals?

That's a very good point. But there are so many variables. Are you richer than Bill Gates? Do it even if it's just for 1 day. Do you have 4 kids aged 6 and under? Don't do it by any means. etc etc. Would be fun to just let your hair down and go crazy at the park until 3 in the morning...

yes - I remember - because it was only 6 months ago. Took my wife and 4 kids aged 6 and under... and LOVED it. Going back for 2nd trip in a couple weeks. I remember being amazed at the cast members walking around with sweepers looking under bushes just looking for any trash they could possibly...
