    Best night for MNSSHP

    Attended on Tuesday night during first week of October 2019. Place was packed, long lines for candy, we ended up skipping most of the Halloween stuff and rode the rides. Most of them had very short wait line. Watched the parade, stage show and fireworks. This was big change from last time we...

    Magic Kingdom losing evening EMHs?

    I know Disney is a business but it gets hard to take when they hunt everything possible to make a dollar on. I also know lot of people don't understand when people like me complain, so let me give a little background. I took my kids to the kingdom back in 1987 when there was only the MK and...

    Last trip? Too many special events!

    Always get Park Hopper tickets. Have been to MNSSHP and it was worth the money. This is the only time of year that works for us. I love Disney but for me it has come to the point that I don't think it is worth the money for a weeks stay onsite when I can't get in my favorite park at night over...

    Last trip? Too many special events!

    You make several good points.. Kids are 8 & 13 , fifth trip for oldest, third for youngest. Should have mentioned my daughter and son-in -law will also be with us. Like the other parks but magic kingdom is the best too us. Kids have always held up very well. We went to the party last trip and...

    Last trip? Too many special events!

    Have trip planned for 9/30 -10/7 with our oldest grandkids during fall break. We all love Disney World but: Magic Kingdom closes at 7 on four out of 7 night for MNSSHP. I know this makes a lot of money for Disney but what about the people who come for a week or more and then can't get in the...

    Port Orleans Riverside - Alligator or Magnolia?

    We have stayed at Riverside 5 times in the last 10 years. We fell in love with the resort on our first trip and have stayed there ever since. We have always stayed in the Magnolia section so I can't compare the rooms for you. This resort has everything ; nice quick serve area, nice sit down...

    Need a hotel on the way down

    Try Country Inn & Suites. Right off I-75. Plenty of places to eat nearby. We stayed there on our last trip down (2013). Very nice and prices were reasonable. Enjoy your trip

    Connecting Rooms - book on same reservation or not?

    Yes we call Disney and request the connecting rooms and tell them we want to put them under separate reservations. We give them separate credit card info for each room down payment. Then you can finish paying for each reservation later. You do give them the names on each reservation but who...

    Connecting Rooms - book on same reservation or not?

    We always have 2 connecting rooms at Port Orleans Riverside. We have 4 adults and 2 kids. The reservations are always separate. One in my name ,one in my adult daughters name. We have never had a problem getting the connecting rooms. The magic bands only open one room, you tell them who is in...

    Where to stay on our drive down?

    Try Country Inns and Suites. We always leave the day before and stay overnight so that we can get to the World early and refreshed. There are Country Inns in several towns including Ocala. I have never stayed in one that was not nice. Enjoy your trip.

    Do you plan days off?

    Having taken our grand daughters several times over the last few years, we learned to plan some down time. We always go for a week and plan a day away from the parks during the middle of the week, We stay and play at the resort (always Port Orleans Riverside) for most of the day, then catch the...

    ? about online check in and credit card

    Should be no problem. Disney does not keep your card number on file once charges clear so you would have to give them the card numbers even if you were using the same card. So use what whichever card you want.

    Booked Cat 3 for Hoop Dee Doo.. mistake?

    We have sat in the balcony both times that we went to Hoop Dee Doo. Once at the seats on the left side nearest the stage and the other time on the back row near left corner. Had no trouble seeing or hearing the show. Don't think there is really a bad seat anywhere, but I really just prefer the...

    Driving - Where to Stop

    I agree with Tinkerbell, as far as a hotel. They can be pretty expensive so find one of the chains. I like to stay in Country Inns and Suites when I travel. You can't begin to see much of Savannah in 1 morning. I would recommend going down to River Street and walking down by the river and shops...

    Help with October Crowds

    I was also there the first week of Oct. 2013 ( 9/28-10/5) Crowds weren't bad at all. Ride almost anything you wanted as much as you wanted early each day. Use your fastpass+ selection for later in the day ,you don't need them early in the mornings. Wine and food festival was going on (we stayed...
