    No Show ADR fee - Per person?

    Thanks everyone! That's a pleasant surprise. We are making an ADR for 5 for Sci-Fi one night, but its a late dinner and I think theres a good chance that my mom might have to head back to the resort with our two little ones before dinner, making us a party of 2. I'd hate to get charged for them...

    No Show ADR fee - Per person?

    If I make a reservation at a restaurant for a party of five, but two of us show up to the ADR and the other three decide not to, will we be charged $30 for the three no-shows or because two of us made the ADR would we not be fined? Thanks!

    One dining credit, just adults, your pick is?

    Dinner for two anywhere in WDW with the kids back at the resort with Grandma. One dining credit. Where are you going? Aw, heck, throw in the option to go to the signature restaurants as well, now where are you going?

    Difference in Late August / Early September crowds?

    We are fine with the heat, so this is really no big deal to us thankfully!

    Difference in Late August / Early September crowds?

    Thank you! That's what I was looking for! I think we are going to stick with our plan of getting there after labor day, but go in a day earlier. Southwest airlines screwed us when they decided they would only have two direct flights out to MCO from Providence during this week - and the first one...

    Difference in Late August / Early September crowds?

    Is there a noticeable difference in the crowds between late August (say, the last week or two) and early September (say, the week directly following Labor Day)? I stumbled across a free day by day crowd prediction calendar somewhere in the inter webs at some point but can no longer find it...

    FP+ Strategy with Toddlers

    We'll definitely be getting a DAS incase, but will also certainly start with FP+. Not sure how she'll do yet, she may do awesome, she might be a disaster. We're going to play it by ear a bit.

    FP+ Strategy with Toddlers

    DAK is probably my favorite park in many ways but I don't think it will go too well with my little ones and I want the extra time at MK since we'll be touring very slowly. My 4 year old (with autism) likely won't be able to tolerate shows too well, so Nemo, Bugs Life, and Lion King are probably...

    FP+ Strategy with Toddlers

    Yes - we'll definitely get TSMM. My 4 year old will probably ride barnstormer, but that will likely top her out. I know she'll like the spinners and any open air ride, but she has autism so I'm not yet sure how she'll do with dark rides and meet and greets. We'll be playing it by ear for sure...

    FP+ Strategy with Toddlers

    My husband, mother, and I are heading down with our just turned 4 year old and our 22 month old. We are doing 3 days at MK, 1 day at Epcot, one day at DHS. We are going Sept 8-13, so hopefully it will be very quiet. What's the best FP+ strategy for the traveling with the littles since we won't...

    The Magic Carpets of Aladdin closing for brief refurbishment in January 2016

    I get that. Sounds like you're there much more than I am, I've never seen a huge bottleneck here which is why it doesn't seem like that big of an issue. While I went to the MK before this ride was there I don't have a clear memory of the land without it so I'm so not upset with the aesthetics...

    The Magic Carpets of Aladdin closing for brief refurbishment in January 2016

    As I understand it, there isn't any more available space in adventure land due to the railroad tracks. Where else could they have put it? We usually visit in the off season, but even the trip we took in July several years back, I don't recall the traffic issues caused by the placement to be that...

    The Magic Carpets of Aladdin closing for brief refurbishment in January 2016

    My 4 and almost 2 year old girls are going to go bonkers for the Flying Carpets when we visit in September. People need to accept this ride (and the other spinners) for what it is - a toddler eater - and a decent looking and themed one at that. Go take your big kids, tweens, and teens on the...

    Epcot desert party

    Are they moving it based on winds that day so that the people who paid for the dessert party aren't getting smoke blown in their face the entire time or is it being moved for some other reason?

    Uber with car seats coming soon to Orlando

    By and large, I really agree with you. Everything you said above was very well written. I am also a little uneasy about taking my young children on Disney Transport Buses as well because if there were a serious accident, I can't imagine it going well, but like you said theres an inherent risk in...

    The Rose & Crown & Fireworks & Questions

    A few years ago we did this with a party of 4 with what I think was a 7:00 or 7:05 reservation. I asked when we got there if we could have an outside table and they said they'd try to see if one opened up within a half hour and if not we'd have to be seated wherever available. I thought that...

    Uber with car seats coming soon to Orlando

    I'll preface this with the fact that I'm a car seat safety lunatic: How do you know the car seat will appropriate for your child? How do you know it wasn't in a minor accident? Expired? Cared for properly (did someone wash the straps with a harsh cleaner)? If the harness isn't a no-rethread...

    What to do about a problem spouse

    Let it go! Let it go...! Seriously - the secret of a happy marriage is compromise. I'm sure they'll find a way.

    Stroller or not?

    For me, either pushing a stroller around with a kid who should be walking or pushing an empty stroller around all day wouldn't justify either the cost or the inconvenience of having a stroller for kids that old. If it were me, I'd skip the stroller all together and make sure we get back to the...

    Boma on a Friday

    I've heard this as well, though my experience with Boma is that while a few things get changed out day to day the majority of offerings are the same. If you're looking for a specific menu or item to make sure it will be offered, I'd call the resort. I'm sure they'll be able to give you an...
