    Is there a science to the Fast Pass system?

    Epcot If Epcot, or moreover SOARIN is the question -- I make this suggestion. When we go, we get their early, and I drop off the wife and kids at the Character Spot while I run over to the Land to get SOARIN Fast Passes. At that point, first thing in the park, we KNOW that will ride it....we...

    What do you do to prepare for your trek to WDW?

    We drive from Texas -- so the wife packs herself and our three children, I organize the car -- wife usually gets her hair done, as well as all the family. Since I drive, I adjust my sleep pattern for 5-6 days beforehand, so that on the day off we leave about 1/2 hour after I wake up (around...

    How can I get the most for money with disney dining?

    Consider this -- I don't feel AK has the best dinner options --- if you can bounce around easily, check out the resorts for a possible table service option. From there you could eat dinner at AKL....just a thought

    Upgrades at Resorts

    Checking in soon, and have heard/seen that sometimes "upgrades" are offered, possibly at check-in. Is there any rhyme or reason to an upgrade? I figure it definitely won't happen unless its asked for - what would/should be the best approach? P.S. Going for 4th time in 5 years, going for...

    How do you plan your disney trip

    Not sure....have thought about just throwing them in the van, and waiting until they say "Where are we going?", but I don't think we will get that far. The pillows/blankets/stuffed animals would give that away in the van. - Thought about creating sight word cards for my 5 year old to read...

    Should I bother with the Disney Dining Plan?

    Re: We've always done the dining plan, though what it is now is not what is was. If it were just the spouse and I, we could skip meals, choose to eat light here so that we can splurge there, but w/3 kiddos -- we include the character buffets DUE TO being on the dining plan. Normally, we would...

    Disney+Foot Problems=What Shoes?

    Mars Blackmon How many MILES is the average day at a Disney World theme park? Personally, I wear Nike's all the time, and being meant for high impact I have not found an issue on full days at the park. Father-in-law works for Nike (I refer to him as "my supplier"), so I have 6 pair broken...

    How are crowds during the first week of June?

    We went last year from 6/8-6/13 - crowds seems bigger then when we went in May'06 but less then July'05. No real groups were crowding it up, and Gay Days had just passed. There are some schools that are out but I don't think all schools are, so there isn't a full deluge -- wait times are...

    12 hour trip to WDW

    I'm hearing a lot of "leaving early in the morning". I'll offer this family's perspective. Our jaunt is from Dallas to Orlando, roughly 1200 miles, or about 19-20 hours. We find that its best to leave after an early lunch (about noon), and we amuse our children (ages 7, 5, and 2) just...
