    garden grocer vs. having items shipped from home

    We used garden grocer on our last trip in September and they were great. Got snacks, water, juices, diapers, wipes, etc. and everything was brought right to our room. If you are planning on renting a stroller Orlando stroller will give you a "free" case of water when renting from then. Also, I...

    Character Meet and Greet ...

    We went there first thing in the morning in September and got right in to see both characters with only a few minute wait. I am not sure how old your child is but meeting Kylo Ren can be intimidating. The actor is great and stalkes over to you, they have his music playing and he'll talk to you...

    AKL vs YC

    My husband says that about me, too! But my kids, 1 and 2, LOVED the pool at the yacht. Can't be beat.

    Toddler area in HS?

    The fountain by Muppets 3D was a nice place for my kids to hang out while the older crowd was on Star Tours. They liked throwing pennies in the water and seeing the fountain, plus it is kind of dead in that area so they were able to run around a little bit. No play area, but kids can make any...

    Kids under 3

    My niece was "2" when we went in September. No one is going to check her birth certificate or give you a hard time about her not having a park ticket. She'll still get a button and happy birthdays all day long from patrons and cast members and have a special birthday, without it costing you a...

    Arrival day plans?

    We did a morning flight in September with a 1 and 2 year old. The 1 year old fell asleep on the flight down and the 2 year old did not sleep all day, but crashed around 6 in the carriage. I prefer early flights and to be completely frank I threw the whole napping thing out the window. At home...

    Disney World Couple Shirts Ideas

    I got all of my families matching shirts on Etsy or Amazon. I went a little over board and did themes for each day (Monsters Inc., Star Wars, Mickey, Finding Nemo, etc.) I attached some links of shops I used for my trip: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1162697912...

    May Crowds

    My parents are also going during that time and I am planning their trip for them. According to what I found the average crowd is 6-8 out of 10. As long as you plan it accordingly and get those Fastpasses and find the parks who have the lowest crowds for the day you will be good. I don't think...

    Weather in May - Packing

    I went in May of 2013 and we had pleasant weather for the first 5-6 days then the weather turned hot (think upper 80's and 90's) but before that it was nice. Actually a few times in the morning there was a slight chill and I found myself chasing the sun to stay warm and I had a light long sleeve...

    Greetings from MA!

    Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I don't know why I never joined a Disney board before now, but here I am! I love Disney, as most of you out there do too, and I am hoping to give and get some more insight and connect with a few other Disney people out there. I am a mom of two little boys. I...

    Contemporary/Polynesian or Beach Club?

    I am not a fan on Contemporary resort myself due in part to the theming. We just got back from a trip to Disney and stayed at the Yacht Club, right next door to Boardwalk with a 1 and 2 year old and they loved it! The giant pool and great- we spend a whole afternoon just in the water one day and...
