    Strangest reason for a Disney trip

    Sometimes you just need to get happy and walk up the happiest street in the USA. We are going in September to do a fact finding mission on how the new Fastpass+/My Disney Experience stuff works. We've been to DisneyWorld about 25 times since 1991 and just when you think you've got it down, they...

    EE: Please help me be a responsible parent.

    I understand exactly how you feel. I have a "miracle" daughter and I take helicopter mom to a new extreme. From a very early age my daughter, Mary, wanted to go on the big rides! Unfortunately she's a peanut and at 17 she still doesn't even hit 5 feet. So you know how old she was before she...

    Trip Countdown

    Ok. Could someone walk me through Trip Countdown. How do I get from that original "create a trip countdown" to actually creating it. How do you get to editor from the "home" page?

    quieter days to go to the theme parks in Sept 2014

    That's a lot of theme park-ing! I suggest that you only theme park 2 to 3 days in a row and take a day off in between. You don't want to get theme park burnout. Also don't do DisneyQuest if you have to pay for it. So not worth it. I used to buy "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World" and...

    autograph book

    In addition to the suggestion above-we purchased a DisneyWorld baseball cap and took a sharpie marker. We asked characters to sign cap. Our daughter loved it. We also bought a DisneyWorld t-shirt and asked characters to sign back of it. You need 2 people to pull t-shirt taut. When we got home...

    Disney on a dime!

    Water Parks are lots of fun but children should be a little older-9 and up. We like Typhoon Lagoon better than Blizzard Beach. If you like steep slides BB is better for you. The family water coaster at TL is a hoot! We went to Disney Quest with 2 eight year olds and they loved it. Their favorite...

    Disney Dining Plan

    The rent a car age here in the US is 25. If you can't rent a car you might look into off site hotels (all star resorts is probably the lowest quality Disney hotel) that have shuttles to Universal and Seaworld. Some off site hotels offer free breakfast too. And if you buy disney tickets you can...

    Disney Dining Plan

    We have been to DisneyWorld many times and have done pretty much everything. I would suggest you DO NOT get the dining plan. It is NOT a money saver! Eat as much as you can outside the park and save your money for a character meal or really nice sit down meal. Rent a car (we like Alamo) and go...

    Raglan Road or...

    Our favorite Epcot restaurant is Rose and Crown Pub but we do love Raglan Road too! Food at Raglan better than most restaurants at Epcot.

    Deluxe Dining Plan help

    The deluxe plan is a LOT of food. The last time we went we got the regular dining plan-one sit down, one counter service and one snack. That was a lot of food and we went to Downtown Disney our last day there to use up snacks. I wouldn't waste snacks getting water. I have heard you can have...

    Making ADRs next week! Opinions?

    I would choose Prime Time Cafe over either Sci-Fi or Mama Melrose. If you have the means I would do Brown Derby over all of them.

    First timer going to WDW next week. A few random questions...

    Sounds like a good plan. We are going in September and I have been monitoring 7dwmt. It is over an hour wait 15 minutes after the park opens and stays that way all day into the night. Enjoy!

    We are going in September too. Food and Wine Festival going on. We are going 22nd - 28th. Forgot to mention to you if you go later in Sept the Mickey Not So Scary Halloween party going on. If you are there you should check it out. Pricey but your daughter will love it. One more thing- isn' t...

    Need advice re: school trip

    In May 2015 our high school music department is going to DisneyWorld for workshops/fun. Last time they stayed at All Star Music Resorts and had hopper passes that chaperones confiscated inside turnstiles so kiddies wouldn't wander out of the park. Do these groups get MagicBands now? If so, how...
