    HS and MK in one day?

    We want to RD HS at 7am. We are hoping to do all the new TSL rides, Star Tours, and maybe Muppet Vision and then head over to MK. There we have FPs for PP, HM, and POTC at 11, 12, and 1. We’re not super into rollercoasters (we’ll ride them once or twice but after that it’s no biggie if we don’t...

    Going from MK to HS back to MK

    We are going to MK, but also want to go to TSL. The only TSL FP we could get was Alien Swirling Saucers at 6:30 pm. Would it be possible or worth it to leave MK go to TSL and then go back to MK for HEA? If it is worth it when would you suggest leaving MK? When would we have to leave HS to get...

    TSL and MK in one day

    We are thinking about add TSL to our MK day because so far wait times have been a lot shorter than we expected. It will however, be our only day at MK. MK's hours for that day are 8-11. HS's hours are 7-8 emh and regular hours 8-10:30. We definitely want to see HEA so we'd probably rope drop TSL...

    Best Western Lake Buena Vista luggage storage?

    Online it says they have luggage storage. On our check out day we are going to MK and probably won't be back until 11 pm to pick up a carry on luggage. This sounds weird because ordinarily we'd just stay another night since its so late. To explain, we are going down to visit my brother who lives...

    Questions about the parade in July

    We're taking a trip in late July (19-24) and I'm trying to figure out FPs in case we need to change our ADRs around. I've got a few questions about the daily parade and any help is appreciated! Are there usually two parades in July? Like one at 12 and one at 3? Or one at 3 and one at night...

    Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire Question

    We have tickets for 1/1. To anyone who has already done it, can the gear fit a plus sized person? I know there are some chairs in the rides at WDW and Universal that have issues with this and want to make sure that everyone in my party will be able to experience and enjoy this.

    Best Counter Service?

    Talking solely about food, not theming. Is there a counter service that has better quality food than the others or are they all basically on the same level? I'm trying to figure out the best place to eat, but everything I've read talks mainly about theming or says that the food's only okay. I...

    Dining Christmas Week

    We're going to be there on 12/29 and I know it will be insanely busy. What are lines for food like during this time? Is it hard to find seating? We're considering making a lunch reservation at one of the full-service restaurants inside the parks to make sure we'll have a place to sit and get...

    Fantasy in the Sky vs. Holiday Wishes

    On December 30, they are doing both Holiday Wishes and their special New Year's Eve Fantasy in the Sky fireworks. Is there one that's better than the other? We're trying to figure out if we want to watch both of them or just stay for one of them. Are there any other good places to watch them...

    Any promotions from Christmas to NYE?

    We're going to be there from December 28 to January 4. I noticed that currently they have a holiday promotion for hotels until December 24. What are the chances of them announcing a promotion for the week after? I realize it's unlikely that they would be enticing even MORE people to be there...

    Air Mattress in Value Resort?

    We're staying in a Little Mermaid room in AOA. It's my husband and I along with my 19 y/o son and 17 y/o daughter. They understandably don't want to sleep in the same bed so I was thinking about bringing an air mattress and have them take turns sleeping in it. Would a twin (about 39 in width)...

    How long to walk in the parks on NYE?

    We're going to be in the parks between Christmas and New Year's Eve. I'm trying to figure out when we should book Fastpasses and I want to make sure I spread them out enough that we'll be able to get from one to the other in time. I realize that the parks will be crazy busy during this time and...

    Dessert Party on December 30?

    Does anyone know if they have a dessert party at MK on December 30? If they do is the price the same as the other ones ($60 or $80 depending on view)? Also, when can you start to reserve it? Is it more whenever they post it or does there tend to be a specific date (like 90/60/30 days out)? Is it...

    Is NYE Dessert Party on Dec. 30?

    We will be in Magic Kingdom on Dec. 30. Wondering if there's a dessert party with reserved spots for fireworks? Everything on MDE there's no schedule available or something and I didn't see anything at 180 days out. I've heard that they sometimes don't mention anything until 30/60 days out. Is...

    Animal Kingdom or Hollywood Studios?

    During our up coming trip we can only spend three days at the parks. One day for Magic Kingdom and another day for Epcot. For the third day, should we do Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom? Our group includes two parents, a 19 y/o son and a 17 y/o daughter. The boys love Avatar and Star Wars...

    Waiting for fireworks

    We're going to Magic Kingdom on Dec. 30 and Epcot on Dec. 31. How early should we start waiting for the fireworks? Where should we wait for the best viewing? Are there certain areas cast members won't let you watch them like streets or anything?

    Is the Express Pass worth it?

    I'll be going to Universal on Dec. 29 with a park hopper. Prices for the park hopper express pass are $120 that day. We would not use it on Escape from Gringotts because we haven't ridden that one yet and know the queue adds a lot of detail. Is it worth paying ~$500 just to skip lines? How bad...

    Will I lose my Fastpass if I change resort dates?

    I'm staying at on site for a week but I might have to shorten my trip and come two days later. If I wait and change this after I book my fastpasses for the week will I lose all my fastpasses? Or will I just lose the fastpasses from the days I cancelled?

    Buses at Art of Animation

    During peak times (I'm talking Christmas week here) how long do the buses typically take to get to the parks from Art of Animation? What time would it be smart to leave for rope drop? (which will most likely be at 7 AM for EMH) Also, do the buses stay busy all day during that time? Right now...
