Anyone experience the Extra Magic Hour at Magic Kingdom Wednesday Night? What were the crowds like? How was the traffic patterns? Wait times? Were many people there at the close? Love to hear about it.

Anyone have any experience booking a Disney Cruise at the last minute (within the last 2 weeks before sail)? I’ve got some open dates later in the summer and was considering being flexible. Not a real problem if I can’t book it but wondering if its even worth considering.

Hollywood Reporter story that I found linked on Drudge. Story link The heat is getting turned up. Go Roy!

Are there organized pin trading events at WDW? I’ve seen events listed at certain resorts and know you can approach cast members in the parks. Are there are any others routinely scheduled? 12 days and counting!!

Thinking about taking a Disney Cruise in the future. We’re a family of five with 2 adults and 3 children (age 15, 9, and 6). Is there anyway we could book a SINGLE category 10 or 11 cabin for all of us? Or do groups of 5 who want to stay together have to book a higher category (4 or above) that...

I’ve never driven to Disney so I need some advice. On Map Quest from Atlanta, it directs me to cut over to I-95. Why not stay on I-75 and then take the Florida Turnpike? Do they route you away from toll roads? Obviously, I'm looking for the shortest and fastest route! Any advice from...

I've never stayed at any of the All Star resorts. I'll be staying at the All Star Sports for a week in early August and wanted to give the "room request" a try. This is what I'm looking for: Want to be near the parking lot (taking my car and driving to the resorts) Want to be away from...

Planning an August trip and want to let the kids do some Disney pin trading. Where can you buy inexpensive “lanyards”? It doesn’t have to say Disney on it. I’ve not been able to find anything similar in style to those I’ve seen in the parks. Any suggestions on where I could buy a dozen...

Is there an official “list” of items that you can’t bring into the park? Specifically, I want to bring in my laptop to help pass the time while we wait for Fantasmic. I can’t expect my kids to sit still for over an hour. If I have the laptop, they can watch part of a movie to help pass the time...

Slightly off topic but thought it might be worth posting. Saw an interesting entertainment story about a “potential” model who also works at Disneyland. She can’t talk about what she does but the title is “entertainer”. She recently got “voted off” the reality show “Top Model”. (I’ve never seen...

Thought I’d share what I did with my recent WDW trip digital video and digital pictures. I created 3 DVDs in total from the images I captured. 1) Shows DVD: This comes up with a menu of all the shows I videotaped. You can pick and choose which to watch or start at the beginning and watch all...

Can anyone tell me about the Tea Party with Alice at 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort? I signed my kids up for it (I guess no adults). Lasts from 1:30 to 2:30 and had to give my credit card to hold the reservation. At 28 dollars per kid, I wonder what they can do in an hour...

Has anyone watched Illuminations at Epcot from Cantina de San Angel? I have a reservation at the Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room but not all seats have a view of the fireworks. I haven't been to the Cantina De San Angel and can't recall where it is in Mexico. Would it be a better bet for a good...

I’ve got questions for those veteran “character hunters” out there. I’ve got a list of specific characters I’m hoping to get pictures with my kids. I know you can ask CMs about daily appearances. Which are the most likely parks where I might find the following characters? Merlin Tarzan Brer...

Has anyone “switched” WDW resort hotels during their visit? I seem to remember reading on this forum from people that they’ll transfer the bags for you and its easy to do. Thinking about doing a switch in the middle of an 8 day trip so as to get to stay at 2 resorts and save some money...

Considering a mid to late August Disney World trip. I'd like to go when the summer "season" is winding down. When do the summer crowds start to thin out in August?

I have a trip coming up in May and am going to be there over a weekend. What are the best (least crowded) parks on the weekend? Maybe it doesn’t make a difference. I’ll have Wed, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday. Want to plan my park selections accordingly. Also staying at AKL so I’ll...

I’m going May 13th and will have 2 other trips to WDW during the next year (total of 15 days) so the AP seems the way to go. I’ve only ever purchased Park Hopper or Ultimate Park Hopper passes during previous once a year visits. Wondering what is the best method for purchasing Annual Pass...
