    I'm 50 years old and about to go to the Magic Kingdom for the first time

    Never say never! I'm 50 and I'm finally headed to the Magic Kingdom for the first time. The trip began as a business conference work trip and I added my husband and 10-year-old son to the mix, and then my 15-year-old stepdaughter freed up her time to join us. Now we're planning an amazing trip...

    Breakfast at BOG! Should we aim for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train after?

    I ended up scoring an 8:10 am BOG breakfast for our trip next month by nabbing a cancellation. MK opens on 9 am that day. I read that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a great ride you can oftentimes jump on with no wait after your BOG breakfast, before the park opens to regular visitors. Does...

    Any point in staying at the All Star Sports Resort?

    Should I even consider the All Star Sports Resort or is it really an awful place to stay? The Value resorts get a bad rap here, so I've not considered them but now I am, kinda sorta. here's why: My family and I will be in Orlando for an oddly split vacation because the trip originally started...

    How can I add one person to a reservation without starting over?

    My teenaged stepdaughter just found out she can join the three of us - my husband, myself and our 10-year-old - at Disney. The problem is, we arrive on June 8, so I've got to scramble to add her to FP's and dining reservations. I know I'll have to do the FPs from scratch to find the ones...

    What's going on with the boats to the parks?

    Are the boats out of service, or just some of them? And which ones? I read that the boat from BC to HS is not in service for something like six weeks? Does anyone know when it's due to be back in service? I also read that a bridge is being repaired, so it's not the boat, but the bridge. And...

    How can you check for last minute FP changes when you already have three booked?

    I'm trying to book an FP for Flights of Passage at AK for mid-June, but of course all of the FPs are already taken. I have three booked already, but one is a throwaway I want to replace with Flights of Passage if it becomes available. I have the throwaway booked because it's a mid-morning FP and...

    Should I get a bunk bed room at AKL?

    I've made my reservation for two nights at WL and three nights at AKL. It's for my husband and myself and our 10-year-old son. I'm trying to make this trip extra special for my son because his dad (my ex-husband) just died five weeks ago. It was supposed to be a biz trip, but I changed it to a...

    Brand new to FP, how do I pick rides for the parks?

    I've never been to Disney World, and, therefore, I've never used Fast Passes. I've been reading up and understand the concept, but I don't know how to figure out the rides that are most worth using up my FP's on. My husband and 10-year-old son will be at Disney in early- to mid-June, so it will...

    We have five days. How many at each park?

    We have five days for Disney. How many days should we spend at each park? I was thinking two days for MK, one day for AK, one day for Epcot and one day for Hollywood Studios. We are likely getting park hopper tickets, so that we can move around each day. But I want to make sure that we're...

    What are the best rides for a 10-year-old boy?

    I've never been to WDW/Magic Kingdom. I'm taking my 10-year-old son there in June. What are the must-do rides? He's afraid of rollercoasters, for whatever that's worth.

    Need help with itinerary - first time visitor to WDW

    I need help figuring out my schedule for my first-ever visit to WDW. I'm traveling in June with my husband and 10-year-old son. I'm tying our trip into a business conference I'm attending. We will be buying five-day park hopper passes for both Universal and Disney, because I get discounts...

    New to Disney World resorts - how to choose?

    I've been to Disneyland many times, but this is my first time to Disney World. I'm traveling with my husband and our 10-year-old son. This is also his first visit to Disney World. I need help figuring out where to stay. I'm willing to spend up to $450 a night on our hotel, but less is good if a...
