    When and What to Ride

    those are very good sites - we followed their advice of find out which park has EMH for which morning, and made a point to be there before opening (this of course only works if you are staying at a Disney Resort). Then run to the popular rides so you can avoid the queues. Or utilise fastpass...

    Are reservations 100% necessary for The Dining Plan?

    Being our first trip, I was too worried about missing out, so we booked them all about 3 months ahead with no problems. We read all the menus so we knew which things we would actually eat. Being a bit fussy limited the number of restaurants, and I also eliminated any that needed 2 points...

    Packed

    We are just back from our first trip (from Sydney which also included a few nights in New York and North Carolina before making it to Disneyworld) I was packing at least 3 weeks prior just like you! But we took far too much - now I know what the heat is like, no need for jackets next time! And...

    After first trip ever, I can now comment on surprising favourites!

    Absolutely! I did RNR (only once but I did it!) and loved EE - did that a few times - Space Mountain was fine, BTMRR was fun, I was a total kid again for a whole week. We will definitely be coming back but that 13 hour flight from Sydney to LA then the layover before another 5 hour flight to...

    After first trip ever, I can now comment on surprising favourites!

    this was our first ever trip to WDW (just returned home after a week at WDW) We spent the first day at Universal so we could do the Harry Potter rides specifically - we were staying at Pop Century and organised a shuttle/ticket with "destinations in florida" The cost for 2 adults with a 1...

    Single Rider - are these queues shorter ?

    My daughter and I are having our first trip to DW and I'm a bit of a chicken on some of the more fast rides, so she may have to go single. Do the CM's acknowledge the single rider queues and make sure they fill up the ride before letting it go? A friend went to Disneyland and was disappointed...

    that is so gorgeous! I bet you do scrapbooking too, dont you! You and Becky will have the most wonderful time, I am sure. My first cruise was with 4 other ladies turning 40 and we had the best time - I have never done a Disney Cruise, in fact my first ever visit to Disneyworld is happening...

    that was a wonderful report! and the photos were amazing! we will be there for the first time ever in 17 days and your photos have made me even more excited. I love the interplay between you and Jordan and your competitiveness, the funny faces on SM (and his manly bodily functions!) and you...

Not only my first trip to DW, BUT my first trip to America (we are from Australia) I have had so much fun on these sites picking our ADR's, working out which rides I am brave enough to go on, reading all the fabulous stuff about Pop Century - it has completely taken my mind off the...

    Disney Magical Express service

    With the Disney Magical Express service, we check out in the morning but obviously want to spend more time at the park before our flight leaves at 5.00 in the afternoon. 2 questions: I assume they will hold our bags at the Resort until we are ready to board the bus? and how often do the...

    Transport from Disney to Universal

    I have been looking into this too - You can get tickets from a place called Destinations in Florida which include round trip transportation to & from your Disney resort in a shuttle bus combined with a 1 Day/2 Park Pass for 2 adults for $138.45 each. That seems to be good value when the tickets...

    Magic Your Way dining plan question

    I just thought of another question - we check out on the Tuesday morning - are we still entitled to use our dining plan for that Tuesday (because our flight doesnt actually leave till late in afternoon) - I read a part of the Plan which says - unused credits expire at midnight on the day you...

    you need an Aussie friend to send you rations regularly - we have a friend in North Carolina who loves our Tim Tam biscuits (tried them?) We send her packets for her birthday and Xmas - she particularly likes the caramel ones. Tim Tams are little rectangles of choc biscuit with a creamy...
