    parking when heading to International Gateway

    The plan: self, DH, and 4DDs to finish up at AK around 5:30 then drive to Epcot to snack/eat dinner around the WS. Dilemma: it just occurred to me we might be better off entering thru the IG. But where to park? Can we park at the Boardwalk or Beach Club?And if we park at either resort, how long...

    MK to DTD

    Working out the last of the trip logistics so I can move on to buying new socks/underwear for all the kids for the trip so I'm not stuck having to actually sort through all their mismatched laundry to find enough of everything at the last minute (priorities, amiright?)... and, anyway, there's a...

    Anna&Elsa FP+ HELP!!!

    Trying to copy FP+... I think I'm having trouble getting FP+ for this M&G because we are a big group; me, DH, DD8, DD6, DD4, DD4. It would make the girls' trip to get to meet the Frozen duo so I would really appreciate any help getting this to work- our FP+ window just opened tonight. Ok, right...

    Epcot FW strategy and FP+ help

    Self, DH, DDs 8/6/4/4 Epcot FW on 9/11 (recommended park day, CL 1) Would this work? My personalized TP has longer wait times at SoaT than Soarin' if using our FP+ at TT, w/a wait at Soarin' of only 10 minutes at 10:10AM...? (If this plan sounds ok, when could we expect to be done? We'd like...

    Monorail Resort dining

    I'm looking for quick service or snack stop suggestions at any of the MK resorts for the evening of a Party night- we will take advantage of the low crowds so will be at MK, but don't have MNSSHP tickets. Thought it'd be a nice evening to explore the monorail resorts (we're staying at AoA)...

    Not your standard autograph books

    I can't think of anyone else that would be as excited as I am to have found park bags for my kids, so just thought I'd share here :geek: Found these mini back packs at potterybarnkids and got them free of any embroidery or patches for my girls. I might add buttons in the Mickey silhouette as a...

    HS planning help, pleaseandthankyou

    Taking a break from MK planning, because OVERWHELMED, and there's really very little I will get accomplished until I know if and for when I can snag Anna&Elsa and 7DMT FP+ (and THAT won't be happening til midJuly, le sigh). On to DHS... We will be there 9/10. The day before will be a short...

    Snacking around WDW (size *is* everything?)

    Have heard lots and lots about the generous portion sizes of foodstuffs in WDW. I'd like to make some smart snacking choices- we have 6 in our party, 5 days on the dining plan- would love to hear 1. where to find the best snacks for sharing so we can stretch those credits out and avoid throwing...

    Wanted: best Epcot snacks and/or QS recommendations

    Tips for the (Not)Free Dining Plan

    Resort ressies including free dining: check. ADRs scheduled: check. Setting money aside with which to tip our servers at our ADRs: um... This thought just occurred to me. We are staying at AoA and upgrading our DP. Have TS meals scheduled at Tusker House, Crystal Palace or Chef Mickey's...

    revising touring plans

    So... how many of you are revising plans to stay away from the A&E RD stampede? How long does it usually take for the hype to calm down a bit? (This affects me how? Glad you asked!) Taking 4 DDs and DH for our first trip in September and were hoping to start touring in NFL. If I get my way, we...

    How are Anna & Elsa affecting Rapunzel M&G waits?

    Are Rapunzel waits looking any shorter/better with the Frozen invasion? Just curious if there'd be a shift away from other popular M&Gs as guests pay homage to the Wonders of Arandelle...

    Barnstormer, 7DMT, or BTMR

    Planning a first time family trip, and, while my DDs don't strike me as completely unadventurous, I'd prefer to start their visit off on the right foot. I wouldn't mind doing nothing but character M&Gs... except we only have a couple of rides the whole family could enjoy together, it'd be a...

    BOG lunch FP+

    What's the latest word on when those FP+ are opening up for resort guests? I got my family in to dinner, 8:45 on Sept.8, which, even with a midday break sounds painful, so I'm stalking the lunch FP+ website hoping to snag that and cancel dinner, so we can use our TS dining credit that morning at...

    silly dining plan question, but...

    Let's say our rooms are booked 9/7-12, with dining plan. But we plan on leaving on 9/11 late night. I just realized we only counted meals for 9/7-11, since we won't be there 9/12 to use any snacks/meals... does that leave us with 1 TS, 1QS, and 1 snack per person we could be using earlier in the...

    PFTH after rope drop

    What's the scoop on Princess M&G wait times after rope drop? I'm traveling w/4 LOs who will be dying to meet them some princesses, but I don't want to "waste" (I know, I know: it's all relative) our FP+ on M&Gs. We have all our ADRs planned, so Cinderella we shall meet at 1900 on our last...

    Quick service dinner at DHS

    Before everyone starts to say anything about the terrible QS food at DHS- don't care. Or, um, well, I do care but DH not so much. We have a PH on arrival day that we are finishing up at DHS, or else, says the dude, which puts us in a place where we'll be getting there AFTER 6pm, non-negotiable...
