    Help Me Choose Our Next Disney Resort!

    If you haven't already, I highly suggest renting DVC points! We booked a studio at Old Key West for the week after New Years (12/31/23-1/5/24) through DVC Rental Store and it is about $500 less than booking the same dates through Disney at Port Orleans French Quarter. This will be our third...

    Magic Band Shipment

    This has been my experience as well with regard to battery life. We were there in June and my mom used her band from our trip in 2017 without any issues. I have also never had any problems pairing my band like some others in the thread have noted. But I did appreciate on our last trip that I...

    Great point!

    Requesting a crib from Disney

    We've requested cribs a number of times at different resorts and have never been denied. We've also not had it in room upon arrival and had to call the front desk for them to bring it up. It is always a pack and play at Disney, and they usually offer to set it up for us. One tip - I always...

    Mears Connect / Sunshine Flyer / Uber

    We used Mears but did the private car service, which allowed me to request a car seat. We had 4 adults, a 5 year old and an 8 month old. My 5 year old thought it was super cool that the driver was waiting for us with our name on a sign when we got to baggage claim. The ride was quick and...

    Trip Report Lower Your Expectations to that of Six Flags and you'll have a better trip

    We just got home today from a week at Disney and had some limited experiences that I think weren’t up to the standard we once experienced, but overall we had a wonderful time and didn’t notice most of the things noted above. I don’t remember seeing much trash at all. We had multiple “pixie dust”...

    Toddlers first visit

    Cant second this one enough. We've taken our little one 5 times starting when she was 5 months, with trip #6 coming this summer for her 5th birthday. This summer will be the first trip for our new baby (9 months) as well. We basically pick one night to make a dining reservation, mid trip to...

    Mears Black Car Service

    Has anyone ever used the Mears Luxury Van service from MCO to your resort? We are a party of 6 (including a baby and a toddler) and I was going to do the Mears express service, which the website says is $305. But the Luxury Van service has flat rates each direction and would end up being $225...

    Pop Century shopping

    We’re here right now. They have registers open that you can order from, or you can mobile order. But there aren’t walk up fridges. You just tell the register what you want, they give you a buzzer, and you wait for them to bring up your order. I saw someone get a half gallon of milk that way...

    Riviera resort

    I haven't eaten at the restaurants (but loved the coffee shop on our skyliner hop last trip), so I have question. The prices at Primo are higher than other resort QS restaurants for the same meals (like Pop's food court). Not by a ton, but from $0.50 to $1 for things like Mickey waffle kids...

    Trip Report Let's try a live report this time! May 1-6

    How did you sign up for the Fairy Godmother in Training thing? That looks adorable! I was bummed that my soon to be 4 year old would miss BBB on our upcoming trip but this might be a wonderful alternative.

    Trip Report That’s No Moon... ***Completed***

    I rode the Safari when I was 4 months pregnant with my first after discussing with my doctor. Nothing bad happened, thank goodness! I'm pregnant now with my second and am thinking about riding it when we go in June (I will be 6 months) - my biggest hesitation is really the judge-y stares I'm...

    Flying With a 2 Year Old

    Our daughter used them on all 4 legs of our flight to Iceland and back and seemed to be able to hear everything ok. My only complaint is that I had to readjust the placement of the speakers in the headband for her every time she yanked the cord too hard.

    Flying With a 2 Year Old

    CozyPhones Over The Ear Headband Headphones - Kids Headphones Volume Limited with Thin Speakers & Super Soft Stretchy Headband - Mystic Unicorn these are the ones we got and she still loves them. Also helps for long car rides where we don’t want to listen to The Jungle Book in repeat 😊

    Flying With a 2 Year Old

    We flew with our two year old to Iceland and had all these same worries (except masking which wasn’t a thing then.) as someone else noted above, chewing gummies and sucking through a straw helps release ear pressure, and we didn’t have any trouble with that. We also got headphones that are...

    Last Minute Trip Help

    We are going that same week and I looked to add another room the other day for my brother and sister in law, but nothing was open at the hotel we are at. Also, there are no passes for Hollywood Studios and almost none for Magic Kingdom (maybe only 2 days in the week have MK available). My...

    Booking Droid Depot

    Hi! Yes, we booked our droid reservation. The window opened up the same as our dining window did so we were able to get a spot on the third day of our trip. I’m not sure how hard these are to book though so my stress was probably unfounded. But we’re very excited to build our own little robot!

    Booking Droid Depot

    Does anyone know if the Droid Depot booking window opens the same way dining booking does? Meaning, once our 60 day window opens for dining and we get the rest of the trip, will we also be able to book a Droid Depot reservation for the 3rd day of our trip even though it's more than 60 days out...

    Park reservation not included with admission

    We were looking at adding a day on to our June trip last night and before I got to the payment screen, I got a large notification with hyperlink telling me to check park pass reservation availability before completing my transaction. Agreed that Disney shouldn’t sell tickets if there is no...

    New restaurant mask rule

    Then maybe dine on an expensive meal in a restaurant that doesn't have these rules? You're opinion of what is needed or unneeded has nothing to do with servers doing their jobs. The lack of compassion for the service industry for the last year from people on all sides of the spectrum has been...
