    First-timer needing help with accommodation options

    If I was you I would sit down and look at all the costs again to see how to maximise the time you could have in Orlando. Is Orlando the only area of the US you are visiting or is it part of a bigger trip. As air fare is likely to be the biggest single expense it makes sense to spend as much...

    Resale Prices Down?

    I feel sorry for any Riveria owners who don't book before the 7 month window opens up. They can't go to any other resort, and their home resort will instantly be full with owners (not under resale restrictions) from the original 14

    Effect of Brexit on WDW attendance?

    Not for this year. Most UK visitors will have already bought and paid for any tickets and fares for trips this year. If the exchange rate doesn't recover it may have a huge impact in the future. I'm a DVC owner, and we have already discussed selling the points and making a profit.

    Mid-Day Water Parks Breaks

    If you just want to chill on the lazy river or main pool then go for it. The queues for any slides or attractions will be huge. The shark reef opens after the rest of TL and there will be a big queue even before it opens.

    Best Milkshakes??

    I love raspberry and Bahama breeze do an amazing raspberry milkshake. The only place I've ever seen that flavour offered.

    Magic band to board buses?

    You don't need a Magicband. Coming from the UK we will not get our bands until we get to the Hotel (tomorrow )

    Getting Tables in Wonderland in a hurry

    Walk from Bay lake tower, it is just off the right hand side of that picture.

    Universal Florida + IOA in 1 day with unlimited Express pass

    The single rider lines will make most of the rides (except potter) virtually walk on.

    Larger Accommodations

    You can pay cash for,the DVC units, but renting points would be cheaper. you could get a unit at one of the Epcot resorts then spend your evenings relaxing in The World Showcase followed by a short stroll back to your room.

    180+10 hack?

    Just book for a couple of days longer than you actually want. As soon as you make your reservations, cancel the first couple of days (due to unforeseen circumstances).

    Tips for WDW first timers?

    Have a "like" just for the longest post I've ever seen on any forum anywhere. To the OP I would cancel your order for the unofficial guide, it won't tell you any more than @englanddg

    Worst part of the Resorts and why?

    I totally agree about rooms for 5. I think one issue is that if they had slightly larger rooms with 5 beds, parties with fewer guests would just book them for some extra space.

    Gyrospheres, BB-8, and Animal Kingdom

    Could be good if combined with animatronic dinosaurs. They already have a velociraptor.

    Things you never understood about the parks, that maybe somebody can explain

    I was last there Oct 2013, but on every trip previously it was this way. I will find out in August when I return home

    Things you never understood about the parks, that maybe somebody can explain

    Unfortunately, even up until quite recently very little thought was given to accessibility for wheel chairs. Those rides that can have been retro-fitted, but that is why many times wheel chair users have to bypass the main entrances. On all the newer rides they will have been designed to allow...

    Things you never understood about the parks, that maybe somebody can explain

    Single riders are kept separate all the way to loading. At the hallway just before the studio where all the lines merge, fast pass and regular line are directed into the front area of the studio. The single riders are put into a separate raised area at the rear of the studio. On leavin into the...

    8 parks in WDW in 1998-1999, 6 parks in WDW in 2015

    Most of what was on offer at discovery island is now at Animal Kingdom. You can still ride a boat between MK and Fort Wilderness. So I don't think anything has been lost with the closure. I never went to River Country, but from what I understand it would never have coped with the crowd levels...

    Bang for a Buck

    I don't know if Ireland is the same as the UK, but the way holidays are sold in the UK the free dining always seems a great deal. However, it will work out cheaper to book everything separately, the problem is that you have to wait for the room discounts to appear. When you have already paid a...

    Who Pays for Your Trips to Disney?

    Our joint salary pays for our family of 5's flights and park tickets. Our DVC ownership was paid for by a chunk of free shares we received from a mutual soceity that decided to list itself on the stock exchange.

    Worst part of the Resorts and why?

    Boardwalk - Parking, not the end of the world if you can get in the main car park near the conference centre, but if you end up across the road it is a royal pain in the ..... OKW - Buses, depending on where you are staying it just seems to take forever to get round the resort before or after...
