    When is Spring Break 2023?

    Many of the schools is the metro Atlanta area take spring break the first of April, so for this year it would be April 3-7, 2023. The metro Atlanta schools are within a days drive, so WDW is a popular place during spring break. I know we went a time or two when our kids were in school.

    Wet Rears

    We carry a dish drying towel in our backpack and use it if needed to wipe the seat. The towel is mainly use to keep the condensation from our water bottles getting anything else wet in the pack.

    Getting to Typhoon Lagoon

    I would recommend getting to BB when the park opens, the covered areas will go quick. April can be be hot and having some shade is nice break. If it rains being under cover is even more desirable. We once spent a day in May with light rain at Typhon Lagoon, and it was great. Not crowded and...

    New Empty Nesters plan a spring break trip!

    We have enjoyed our trips as empty nesters, from time to time we would be joined by one or both of our kids, but it usually just us. We spent more time in Epcot than when the kids were with us, and took more and longer breaks in the middle of the day.

    Hotel Buses...Good, Bad or Ugly?

    From Port Orleans FQ/R pre Covid the buses were direct to the parks in the mornings. In the afternoons/evenings at times they would pickup at French Quarter first then on to Riverside before heading to the parks. The shared buses typically only occurred when very few guests were on the bus...

    News Gangway being prepped near to the Contemporary - second level access coming to the ferry boat?

    If your able to save enough time to get an extra trip per hour from the ferries, that would help in the evenings and mornings. The other thing that could help is not having people going up and down the stairs on the ferry. I'm guessing that at times people fall and could get injured, which would...

    Halloween or Christmas at WDW?

    I would do the Christmas time trip. You mentioned that the Food and Wine will have ended, but at Epcot they have different events in most countries, such as Father Christmas in the UK, Sigrid in Norway and many others. The parks will all be decorated for Christmas along with the all the resorts...

    Those of you who bring breakfast from home to eat in the room...

    My wife usually makes sausage biscuits for me and ham biscuits for her. We package them for each day of the trip, so one bag will have one mornings breakfast. While my wife is in the shower, I will walk to where the microwave is (depends on where we are staying) and warm our breakfast. We bring...

    Lost Never Expire Ticket

    I use to always take a photo of the back of my tickets, back in the day. They had a number on the back that Disney could use to retrieve the information.

    Thinking about a 2022 trip with two little ones. When would you go?

    I would go in February, the crowds will be lower. As your children grow older and they are in school, you will likely be limited to the summer break so they will get there fill of summer trips. Unless the weather is very cold for Florida, the pools should be open (and they are heated) and the...

    Water park question

    We always wear some type of footwear. I usually wear my Tevas, my wife will wear flip flops or sandals. One thing that now matter what you wear, or don't wear, put sunscreen on the tops of your feet and reapply often! Walking around the parks with sunburned feet is not fun. Unless your feet are...

    News WDW loses Pop Warner to Universal and Camping World Stadium

    Hopefully it will work out best the the players and cheerleaders, as the games and competition are for them. We would plan not to be at Disney during these events as we tried to stay away from known (at least to us) large events. We did arrive a time or two as the championship week was ending...

    What effect has Covid have on the 50th anniversary

    We had planned for either a late 2021 or late 2022 visit as our next trip. I would expect that if not much is going on for the 50th we will wait till 2022. Our plans are to get annual passes again, so we will get several trips over the year.

    Will the Pandemic Curb the Price Increases?

    I don't think you will see decreases in prices on the top line. I expect to see the more you stay the bigger the discount. Such as stay 4 nights, get the 5th for free, buy a 4 day ticket, get a extra day for no charge. Free dinning for more of the year.

    Week before Christmas crowds

    The crowds will be large, with each day increasing. The one thing you will notice versus the summer is that the weather will not be hot and humid. The Christmas decorations will help to put most everyone in a Christmas spirit and make for a great trip. Make sure to book your ADR's at the 180 day...

    Disney world summer vs December trip...

    I would take the crowds over the heat. If you are looking at going the week prior to Christmas, expect the crowds to build some everyday till Christmas. If you plan and get moving early each morning, you can get a lot done even with crowds. The Christmas decorations and all make such as...
