    How close are all the parks?

    Caromac if you are a first timer I don't recommend it. There is so much to see and do in each park it would take you several days to do everything in each park alone. Once you have been a few times and know what you like to do and see, you will be able to plan it better get in see and do what...

    Overwhelmed

    Wow.. you sure are a planner. I am excited for you that you and your son get to experience the parks for the first time together. That is great. It is true Disneyland is small in comparison but you don't need to stress. Sounds like you have a good grasp on what there is and what you want to do...

    Can Marvel characters / attractions appear at the hotels or DTD?

    @fbp yes we did the Spooky shooter thing. I thought it was better than the Cheesy Marvel one. Things actually moved when you shot them, it was somewhat spooky from time to time and the ending horn/blast was a trip to watch people get scared. Very well done and laid out. I wanted to go one it...

    Maid caught stealing at All-Star resorts

    So sad to hear... I have always trusted them, left ipads out, laptops, jewelry and have been fine in all my travels. I have used safe with no issues for cash as well. One time I used the hotel lobby desk to have them hold a large sum of cash before and they held it under lock and key I guess...

    Can Marvel characters / attractions appear at the hotels or DTD?

    @fbp save your money. it was a total waste. My step daughter thought it was fun because its on the edge of being scary for a 6 year old but the whole time I was thinking wow... if people only knew the real Spiderman ride at Uni.. LOL now back to the OP's post. :)

    Can Marvel characters / attractions appear at the hotels or DTD?

    @Cmdr_Crimson I was just in Niagara falls last weekend. I rode the cheesey Spiderman knock off and I kept thinking wow this is very similar to the Spiderman ride at UNI. They even played a clip on a huge screen that I swear was the same clip they play in Uni where he throws the flaming pumpkin...

    Driving to the World From the Northeast

    I have driven down to WDW from Syracuse NY and back on two different occasions. The first time I drove down and stopped in Savannah Georgia. I believe we left at 6am and arrived at like 9pm in GA. The exit had plenty of nice hotels, however they were all booked when we arrived and we ended up in...

    So, is Unleash the Villains still happening?

    I think @marni1971 is hinting that the flying dragon will make an appearance. Keeping my fingers crossed. Although I wont be there I hope people get some more good video of it if it happens.

    Photopass plus received in mail, Now what???

    We had Photopass+ and ate at Chef Mickeys. They brought the prints to our table to have as well as the pics were on the card to view when we got home. Getting the ride pictures was well worth it IMO. Normally I wouldnt spend money on them but its so fun looking back at our faces on each of the...

    1st time taking my child, need help please>.

    I have been many times. I def recommend going in February. Especially for your childs first time to Disney. It won't be overwhelmingly crowded and hectic. You can go at a good pace and enjoy everything you want to see. Prices are better so you save money. Weather is comfortable. It is the...

    Bruce Vaughn @ D23 on Universal Creative, Original rides, etc.

    I have to disagree @Seabasealpha1 People are flocking to the parks to be part of feature films. TO be immersed in it as much as possible. I mean heck isn't that what most of Disneys experience is about. Being surrounded by the magic be it musical, theatrical, or attraction wise. Look at HP's...

    sinkhole in the parks

    Disney should really take advantage of he Sinkhole situation. They could easily build that ride they have over the sinkhole called Journey to the Center of the Earth. I would check it out and I am sure others would too.

    Has anyone read the Kingdom Keepers?

    I read the first two and I am finishing up the 3rd one. They are a fun read. It's nice to be able to step back into Disney though the books. Some parts are pretty descriptive and paints the picture of what it really looks like in the parks at different times of day and night. I can imagine the...

    Every ADR... Say What?!?!?

    It probably the accent. Whenever I hear it I cave everytime too. :) and BTW I checked the website online yesterday every 5 minutes and Ohana's opened up for 7:30am so I was able to snag that and release my other one. So now I am officially all set and happy with all my ADR's. I just hope...

    Every ADR... Say What?!?!?

    Well I work in customer service and I know that reps on a lower level only have so much authority, and then on up they have more and more flexibility. I was nice about it. I made sure not to give them to hard of a time. I felt bad because it is totally not me. But I read that they save a few...

    Every ADR... Say What?!?!?

    It wasn't tough because we were dillegent. Had all our days mapped out and times and places we wanted to be. So I think we went into it well prepared and got up early to make them. All before taking an 8 hr drive to Michigan that morning. But it was a great start to the trip knowing we scored...

    Relaxation

    We hit the ground running at rope drop and go until the last night show at each park. Back to room and crash. Shower in the morning to wake us up and back at it again. We try to schedule Animal kingdom as the last park of our stay so we dont have to be out that late that night and we always make...
