I can remember our first WDW trip, when the kids were young (6 & 4). We had arranged breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table--that trip was all about Princesses--and neither DD would get out of bed! We pleaded with them that Cinderella had invited us and we needed to go! When we finally got...

With your children these ages, you're bound to have a great time. When ours were that age (not that long ago), we always tried to make meal-time a part of the fun. Character meals were great for that! With younger children (read: possibly pickier eaters), we had great luck eating at...

We started decorating our vacation rooms several years ago, when our daughters were younger. After reading how others had decorated, it sounded like fun so we secretly purchased Disney Character window clings from places like Dollar Tree or Wal Mart (lots of Princess stuff, especially), along...

We're at exactly $250.00 now.

For the OP: Others have already provided comparisons between Value vs Moderate--both are great, depending on needs and expectations. Given your past experience with Deluxes, I'd suggest that a Moderate with your children (POFQ or POR) would be a better choice than a Value. We've visited...

I agree with the checklist approach. I've developed one that I've used for three WDW trips and have even adapted it to use for trips elsewhere. I'm continually refining it as we learn what we need and don't need. There's actually a calming effect from reviewing the list to see our progress as...

I'd plan to arrive at DHS no later than 2 hours before the show starts. By the time you enter the gates, walk to the amphitheatre and find a seat, you''ll be in good company with others waiting for the show. Enjoy! Some suggestions: Consider a F! Dinner Package meal (late afternoon)...

My daughters (with me and DW in tow-LOL) have been invited to ride Goofy's Barnstormer multiple times as closing approaches and no one else is waiting. We've even been the only ones on BS--it really makes us feel special! I'd glad CMs are given the freedom to extend the offers for "bonus"...

Our experience with EMH has been limited to evening, and only at the Magic Kingdom. If you've still got energy to burn, the time can be a lot of fun given smaller crowds and cooler weather (especially summertime). Our daughters really got a kick out of staying up waayyy later than they ever...

Previously, I avoiding having a park ticket for arrival day--given the shorter time we'd actually have to play, it seemed like a waste to me. Last summer, we tried something new for us that really made us feel like we're stretching our Disney time... We live about 6 hours from Orlando, so...

After reading all these "best-kept secrets", is someone going to have to kill me?

We used the F! Dinner Package with our TS meal at Hollywood & Vine for the first time on our trip in August 2009. We'd never seen F! before and with the limited number of weekly performances that were being offered at the time, we arranged our schedule sio we'd have an opportunity to actually...

I've seen others reference Turner Drug as a good source for drup store help. They supposedly deliver to the resorts (free maybe) and are located on the east side of I-4, near International Blvd, I think. Google them for their address, but the phone number I keep with me for them (just in case)...

Before last August, we also had taken our trips in early June. It was easier then when our daughters were younger. As they've grown they've began participating in some just-after-school-ends activities that really eat into June, so last summer we pushed our typical plans to August. The...

Our last WDW visit was August 9-16, 2009. School started for our daughters the next week, so this was an end-of-summer celebration trip. For us, we received a nice supply of pixie dust for our trip as we hit a very sweet spot on the Disney calendar...Value Season rates were in place, it was...

We stayed at POR for the first time during the 2nd week of August 2009. We had previously stayed at ASMo twice before, but felt it time to move up a notch for a little more room and a little more "mature" theming. Our daughters were 10 and 8 this time, so we kinda felt we'd outgrown the...

I see your point...thanks!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the "cut in line" concern... Cheaters are one thing and official, disciplinary steps may be appropriate, but I have absolutely no problem with a mom and child politely "cutting in line" to catch up with family members (presumably after a potty break), or a Dad (like...

YES! We just returned from WDW (visited 8/9-8/16, 2009) and had dinner one night at the GF---the person/character you described was there that night, sitting in that very same location. I noticed, but didn't point it out to my family, and didn't think of it again until now...anybody know...
