    Avatar: The Way of the Water... what did you think? (No spoilers)

    So who has seen the new movie? We went last night. I'll be honest - I didn't like it. I liked the first one a lot, but this one... eh. It was action packed AND VIOLENT from the very beginning. In my opinion, it's clearly geared towards 12/13 year old American boys chock full of fighting...

    Celebration Pins at the Dolphin?

    Does the Dolphin (or Swan) offer celebration pins? If not, would the Boardwalk have a problem giving us pins? We'll have 2 birthdays and 2 first times to celebrate!

    Is the light saber workshop worth it?

    We are taking my nephew in January. He's 12 and a huge Star Wars fan. My brother (also a Star Wars fan, but Disney hater) asked how much he should send for his souvenirs. Should I suggest the light saber workshop? Is it worth the $250? Is the quality good? Not too kiddie?

    Nothing in HS! What the heck? And Fantasmic...

    So I got up at 4:45 this morning (central time) to make our dining reservations. I'm so tired, plus I couldn't sleep since I was excited/anxious. We're going in January Sunday - Friday with my mom and nephew (first time for them). Overall, I'm happy - here's what we got: Monday - AK - Sanaa...

    Apples and TSA?

    Will MCO TSA let me bring home some chocolate covered apples from Candy Cauldron in my carry-on? I read no liquids or gels, but those apples are pricey and I wouldn't want them to take them. I want to bring 4 or 5 if that matters.

    Best way to get to MK/AK from the Dolphin

    Hi - we booked the Dolphin for next January. What are the best ways to get to MK and AK? I know they offer shuttles, but I thought I read something about them dropping off somewhere else and that we'd need to allow extra time? Would it be better to walk to the Boardwalk and catch their bus? Is...

    Scooters

    How does one go about renting a scooter at Disney World? I Googled it and saw off-site rentals - is that what most people do? Or do they rent them at the parks? What is the best option? My mother finally agreed to go on a trip with us and my nephew (her grandson) so he could see the Star Wars...

    UPDATE: (Not that anyone asked ha ha) - May 15, 2022 We booked The Dolphin!! We booked for January 2023 so we were only able to book the hotel directly through them and no tickets or airfare yet of course. My husband had questions so we wanted to call Mariott/Bonvoy and they were extremely...

    Hotel Slim Pickins

    I've been playing around with various dates and it seems like most of the hotels are booked up. When I plug in my dates, I get a few choices, but not many. Specifically, I was looking at the Swan (or Dolphin) and no matter what week I put in nothing was available and lots of other hotel choices...

    Southwest Airlines Disney Trip Sweepstakes

    Did you win? Just wondering if any of y'all entered the sweepstakes. It was a 50th anniversary celebration sweepstakes to win a trip for 4 to Disney World with airfare by Southwest. I entered faithfully everyday, but I guess I didn't win. The contest ended on the 16th and I haven't been...

    What kind of luck have you all had in booking dining reservations lately?

    I'm getting nervous! Our trip is in January and our 60 days is coming up in another week. I will be ready to go at 5 a.m. (central time). I've never had trouble booking where we want to eat, but it's not looking good now - especially for Epcot. I've been watching Space 220 and that will be my...

    Paris and Nice or Paris and Disneyland...

    If you were going to France, is Nice worth visiting or would you rather spend more time at Disneyland? Originally planning for a few days in Paris, plus one day only at Disneyland, then travelling to Nice (and the area around it) for a few days. Now wondering if Nice is worth it and would it be...

    Best way to buy tickets

    Hello! I've been planning a trip to France and of course being a Disney fan, a trip to Paris wouldn't be complete without a day at Disneyland. My question is about buying tickets. I've seen a lot of tour companies selling them, along with train transportation, but is there any reason not to buy...

    The Swan - Best View and Dining

    Hello, I booked our next trip staying at The Swan. We've never stayed there before and have only seen it passing by. I was wondering if anyone who has stayed there before had opinions on any room requests I could make (as far as views go)? I've seen in photos one side has a Tower of Terror view...

    Hollywood Studios in Mid January

    I am trying to talk my husband into taking a quick 2-day trip to Disney (MK & HS) in January 2020 after the holidays, like around the 25th. By then I believe all of Galaxy's Edge will be open. I think I read the 2nd ride opens in December of 2019. How crowded to you think it would be on a Monday...

    Central Paris Hotel to Parks

    Bonjour! I understand that Disneyland is about an hour outside of Paris. We are planning on staying in central Paris. Is it reasonable to think we can plan for 1 day at each park and take the train to and from each day? Also, they do fast passes the old way, right? And it's included with park...

    Crowds for the 50th MK Anniversary

    How crowded do y'all think the parks will be for the 50th anniversary in 2021? No more than usual? That's when we are planning to go next. I'm hoping by then the crowds for all the new stuff will have leveled out. I'm hoping the 50th doesn't mean anything to everyone else (except people like...
