    Best Rooms for Five

    We just finished an amazing week in one of the new Little Mermaid rooms in Trinidad at CBR. These rooms are fantastic for families of five! The room was incredibly well designed with the pull down beds, tons of storage, and plenty of space for a family of 2 adults and 3 children. We were blown...

    Lanyards and Hard passes?

    We are traveling with three kids and will have a DAS pass. I hate using my phone all the time and am pretty technologically challenged. I’m thinking of asking for hard tickets and having us wear them on lanyards for easy access into the parks and then the constant tapping in through lightning...

    2023 Refillable Mug Designs / Colors

    All of the pictures I've seen around for this year (/season's) refillable mugs all seem to be one design with one color top. Is this the case? Hoping we can get different color lids to keep track of which belongs to who! Thanks!

    Disability Pass & Genie + ?

    Our last trip to WDW was in 2019, so things have changed! I could use some help! We are traveling in late June / Early July and are traveling with 3 kids, (10, 8, & 5) as well as my 70 year old mother. My 5 year old has serious anxiety and won't be able to tolerate waiting in lines. He also...

My husband has his own MDE account and another old magic band. I'm traveling to Orlando for a work conference with a colleague and we are spending one day in...

    Favorite Counter Service in AK?

    Despite many trips to WDW over the years, I'm pretty unfamiliar with Animal Kingdom and almost never eat there. I'm taking a one day break from a work conference in mid-January to visit Animal Kingdom with a colleague. I'm scouting out the best counter service and snack/drink options. This is...

    Crowds and my Touring Plan Fail (?)

    We’ve done a ton of trips to WDW over the years and like everyone else sees, way more crowds. We recently got back from our mid/late August trip and were expecting lighter crowds. Up until the day we left, touring plans was predicting crowd levels that maxed at 4 and were between 1 and 3 for...

    FastPass + Adding Guests

    We are a family of 4 traveling with another family of 3. We linked our MDE apps and can see each other's plans. Well, my friends originally booked fast passes for all 7 of us for Flight of Passage. My six year old adamantly declared that she was not going to ride FoP, so I changed our 4 FP+...

    Time from Landing at MCO to Rides

    Our flight arrives at MCO at 9:35am. We are going to hop on Magical Express to AKL, check in, leave our bags with bell services and head right to Epcot. We have a 4:55 Garden Grill ADR which I'm not worried about, but I want to book some fast passes before that ideally. What time do you think...

    Obstructed Savannah "Standard" View at AKL

    We've booked AKL standard view twice before and, by chance, we were given rooms that had "obstructed" savannah views. The views were so good that we thought we had been given a free upgrade, but a cast member told us it was actually just an obstructed view standard room. We've booked our third...

    Best strolling option for a 4 & 6 year old

    We are taking our 4.5 and 6.5 year olds in August. The 4.5 year old is tiny and tires easily and definitely needs a stroller. We took her to the mall last week and she couldn't manage the car to a single store and back. I'm planning on taking our citi mini stroller for her. My 6.5 year old has...

    Under 2 Buffet w/ Allergies

    My youngest will be 20 months old when we go to WDW and he has significant and serious food issues. He has an allergy to all dairy and soy products (soy is in everything) and has a swallowing disorder that limits some types of foods and drinks for him. My worry is the restaurants - we plan on...

    Deluxe DDP Credits Split

    I'm booking a trip for 3 adults and 3 children (ages 6, 4, and infant) with two separate rooms at CBR. We want the dining plan, but I realized that if I put 1 adult and 2 kids in one room and purchase the deluxe dining plan for that reservation and then other two adults and infant in the next...

    % income spent on WDW?

    It's a popular topic, let's just air it out here: WDW is expensive. We all agree, let's just settle that before we start. I started pricing vacations for next year - it's been a while since we've been, but with kids and a family of 5 the cost seems more impractical than it did before. When we...

    Rider/Baby Swap with DAS

    My question is about using the baby swap in conjunction with a DAS. Our party is 3 adults, a 40" 4 year old with Autism who will likely require a DAS (we'll evaluate when we get there, maybe we'll get lucky and we won't need it) and an almost 2 year old. We have FP+ reservations for SDMT, our...

    Kid's dessert at BoG on DDP

    We are ordering ahead for our party at BoG. We have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and are on the DDP. There are no kid's desserts listed. Does our 4 year old select one of the desserts off the menu to go with her children's meal or do they bring out a standard kid's dessert? Thanks!

    Yellow magic express tags & crowds

    Our trip is in 24 days, and we've received our magic bands. Should we have gotten yellow magic express tags at the same time for our luggage? We definitely need our checked luggage to get handled for us for this trip and it will be the first time we use this service. Also, we are going the...

    I'm holding on to two Ohana reservations right now. One for dinner, one for breakfast and will likely only go once. Party of 3 adults and 2 small children (neither of whom have seen Lilo and Stitch). Which to keep?

    Tips for Touring with ASD Children

    Since my Sensory Processing Disorder thread seemed to be helpful to people, this is a variation on the theme specific to autism. What tips do you have for taking your child on the autism spectrum? What made your trip successful or what would you do differently next time? We haven't been yet...

    Pack n Play in room?

    Do I need to call ahead to request a pack n play, will there be one in the room, or do I ask for one at check in? I already competed online check in and there was no place to request it like I thought there would be. Thanks!
