    Trip Report The "So Surreal" trip report

    That's probably the best word I've got for this, our first ever Disney trip, and our first major family vacation. That and the pictures that I've seen on the internet just don't do everything justice. We took a ton of photos, but I'll only post the cool ones and some neat highlights. We started...

    Anyone at wilderness lodge right now?

    So last night one of the girls left her phone on a ride and it's showing at Wilderness lodge like right now (assuming find my iPhone is correct). It's in a pink otter box case, inside of one if those Minnie Mouse wrist things. Front desk didn't turn up anything with lost and found, so boyfriend...

    How many people lose their glasses?

    I've got this awful fear of losing my glasses on rides, particularly Space Mtn, BTM, RnR, and Everest. How often does this happen? Do I even really need to wear glasses on those rides? I can see with them, distance is just a little tough for me to focus. Should I just stash them away? Note...

    How much for souvenirs?

    So.... how much should I give the kids for souvenirs? Originally the plan was around 100 each, but some stuff came up and I'm thinking around 50 each would be more reasonable. That's enough for a shirt and some candy junk? I can't really see them getting stuffed animals. I'm buying the Mickey...

    Lost kids in WDW

    It's not something I'm super concerned about since we're going to be doing a buddy system for the kids, but how does Disney typically deal with lost children/parents? Last year at Moody Gardens we had a pretty awful time trying to find the oldest who didn't stay in the spot that we'd told him...

    Darn indecisive kids...

    So after much waffling about meets and greets one of the girls has decided that yes she does want to see Elsa. Yay me. Except all the fast-passes we setup revolves around rides that BF wants to ride with the kids. No meets and greets. But as far as I can tell there is not a fastpass left for...

    Tink stuck on the zipline?

    Ok, maybe some old timers might know this. My dad claims to have seen Tink get stuck on the zipline during the firework show. He says it happened in either January or Febuary of 1969 (after boot camp but before he was shipped out). I've never, ever been able to find any other accounts of it...

    Disney T-Shirts

    So I'm buying each of us that are going to WDW a fun Disney shirt (to wear on Day 1 for our cheesy family photo). I ordered the 15 year old a Kingdom Hearts tee (and some cool keyblade pendants), the 12 year old picked out a Goofy Tee from amazon. The girls got a Elsa "Winter is Coming" and a...

    Movies at Art of Animation

    Do the movies under the stars change out regularly? I've only been able to find one schedule for then and it's from a couple years ago.

    Adding an extra kid?

    I've seen this discussed somewhere, but I'm not sure where. MY boyfriend and his brother were talking (theoretically) about adding on their nephew to the trip.The only problem with that would be that I'm already at the max occupancy for the room (6 people) and I'm not really wanting to change...

    Raglan Rd: Bland or not?

    Hi there, I'm going July 8 with BF and 4 kids from 11-15, I was thinking about dong ADR's for Raglan Rd for our first night, but aside form the challenge of predicting what we'll be in the mood for 129 days from now, I need to know if the food is overly bland. If it's not, then I'll shoot for...

    July Events?

    So I'm going 07/08-07/12 and I was wondering if there's any nifty events that happen in July? I've been looking at calendars and July seems pretty bare. I guess because of the heat and crowds? It's not a make or break thing (I'm really just happy going), I'm just curious.

    1st time to Disney World, many questions

    So my trip is 7/8-7/12 with the 8th - 11th being park days. Staying at Art of Animation (4 kids ages 11,11,12,15), got the quick service dining plan. I'm super amped. I'm probably more excited than the kids at this point. We -should- get to the resort around 3 if all goes right with the...
