Hmm, yes - I forgot about all those shows. Those are the things that we tended to skip as two childless adults. If only for lunch with Doc and Sofia at the Hollywood and Vine, I think we need to get to DHS even if its just a half day park/half pool day. I think we may choose to skip DAK. Though...

Is there any place to see Sofia and Doc outside of DHS? There are so few attractions there for young kids that I'm thinking of skipping it, but I'm not sure a trip to wdw will be complete for my daughters without meeting Sofia and Doc. Anyplace else to meet them? Skip DHS with the under 38" crowd?

Seriously?

Please don't worry at all about this. Some parts of the US (parts of the South in particular) have lower breastfeeding rates than the rest of the country and I think because of that there's some occasional outspoken backlash towards those who nurse in public without a cover. I can assure you...

We went with a 3 month old who nursed constantly and everywhere. I didn't nurse with a cover but I did try to find quiet places when possible and be somewhat discreet. Over the course of our entire trip not a single person batted an eye at me and it was a completely pleasant experience. Everyone...

Has anyone with children with ASD or SPD (or in my case, both) successfully managed any character meals? Any tips? My daughter would LOVE a character meal or two but definitely won't want any of the characters to come too close and I'm not sure how she'll do with the noise and crowd level. My...

Oooooh, just threw in a conservative estimate for our dining in to the calculator. Very, very cool. Looks like the DDP would save us $212.20. Sigh... maybe I'll just do it anyway.

Yeah - I totally agree with you. Like I said earlier, we've done the DDP for the past 5 trips and it saves us money because we enjoy eating everything it offers, eat the most expensive meals, and eat at the most expensive restaurants on vacation. We don't eat this way without the DDP, but we...

I'm going to throw a slightly different curve ball at this take. We were upgraded to club level at the YC free for our honeymoon five years ago. We never would have paid for it before, but now we would consider it. Last we looked (and I admit this has been a while) it was an extra $100-ish a...

I have the Disney Premier Visa and do this as well. We currently have $900 for this trip in Disney Dollars. Love the Disney Visa. Maybe I missed something, your statement confused me. When deciding how much to tip, I look at the bill and tip based on what the bill was (regardless of the fact...

Love it, I'll totally do that! Does anyone have any idea if the cast members have any flexibility on waiving the fee for same day reservation cancellations? Would explaining the situation with the accompanying DAC pass maybe give them room to waive it?

Thank you! We will definitely be getting one for her. Thanks for the tip - I have a target red card but thought the 5% off didn't apply to gift cards. Have you used it successfully on gift cards?

Excellent points, all of you, thank you! We have done the DDP on our past 5 trips (3 during free dining) and we've always come out ahead. The DDP matches our vacation dining preferences - we tend to eat at the more expensive restaurants and eat the most expensive menu items. We like the DDP...

What's your thought process on getting the DDP with young children? We will have 3 adults, a 4 year old with special needs and a 22 month old. On one hand, the regular DDP is what we usually get and would give us well planned and much needed breaks from the park with good food. On the other...

Thanks! We need to go during a slow time of year because my older daughter has autism and sensory processing problems and struggles very much with crowds. She's also obsessed with Disney Princesses and her head is exploding over Disney World since watching the Christmas parade. I'm not sure I...

Is September and early January still the most heavily discounted time of year between room rates, free dining, etc.? I'm currently booked for Sept 8-13 and hoping for free dining, but I'm starting to think spring may work out better - of course I'm comparing current discounts with not yet...

If your idea of hell is any "issue" you have with your DVC ownership, then you've got some issues.

If you can, I would get two just in case. I have a three year old daughter with autism and sensory processing disorder and I completely understand the melt down fear. I would get both and pocket the other one unless you split up.

Very odd. I'd think something like that would have to be consistent. Did you happen to ask for one? Knowing my kids if my 3 year old has one and my almost 2 year old doesn't, there may be tears. I wonder if they'd give you one on request in this situation.

I just booked my trip and went into MDE to customize our magic bands. My 22 month old (listed simply as infant) on the reservation has the same customize magic band stuff as everyone else. I successfully changed her gray band to a pink one. Will she actually get one? My understanding was that...
