May 1975... My parents broke family tradition that year of going to the Jersey Shore with our extended family and went to WDW instead. We never went to the Jersey Shore again on a family vacation, but we went back to Disney World every year after that.

I feel the same way about 7DMT and SDD. Cute rides that did not live up to the hype. I will hold my verdict on MMRR until I actually ride it. I have seen videos, but I feel that I’ll really need to ride it to judge it because there seems to be so much going on around you. Lots of details are...

Back in the 90s I left my camera on the table of a counter service restaurant (used to be the Aladdin themed one in DHS which is now the Disney Junior Show). Someone handed it into lost and found and I got it back. When I got my film developed a few weeks later, I had a picture of a few CMs...

I highly recommend Pop. We stayed there Christmas week 2019 with my 17 and 14 year old teens. They loved the theming. Food court was great. Art of Animation was an easy walk across the bridge to eat at its food court. Twice we hopped on AoA’s bus at the end of the day because the line was...

We did Rivers of Light package at Tusker House. We had never seen the show before. I found Rivers of Light boring so we won’t do that one again. We also did the Fantasmic dining package at Hollywood and Vine. The character interactions were great and it was nice to see all of them in their...

We just did the parade package at Tony’s on Christmas Eve so we could get the reserved seating for the Christmas parade. We all enjoyed our appetizers- calamari, mozzarella sticks, and spinach artichoke dip. The calamari was the best of the three. For entrees, we ordered chicken parm and...

It is really important to know what you are doing and go in with a plan. We were in MK on Christmas Day. We were in the park by opening. Walked right on Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Teacups, Dumbo (only ones on ride), Little Mermaid, Mickey’s Philharmagic, and Carousel. Had breakfast at...

As the family of a Disney World waiter, please tip your waiter. They are working to provide for their families and need those tips to do so!

Absolutely! We are waiting to see if any discounts will be offered for our December trip because otherwise we are priced out at rack rate.

My parents took us for the first time in May 1975. I was 2. My dad grew up watching the Mickey Mouse Club with his family on television and his dad always wanted to take them to DL, but he died suddenly when my dad was 12. My dad made it a goal to take his family to Disney sometime. So he...

Just catching up. Thank goodness the move debacle is over and your new place is gorgeous. Love all the light coming in those windows in your living room. My daughter is Hamilton obsessed as well; she keeps asking me for tickets. Hoping to see it when it comes to Philly. Nothing like the...

We stayed at the HoJo in August. It was clean, easy walk to the parks, convenient to Panera and McD's for quick drink or ice cream on way back from parks. We had a decent view of the fireworks. It did the job for the price and how little time we spent there (to sleep only).

Looks like your kids are ready for another trip to Universal!

Great TR! Loved following along, especially since we both went to DLR and SD within a week of each other.

With that mindset, you will have a very merry Disney Christmas!

I have been there at Christmas many times. Be prepared to not do as many attractions and shows as you are used to doing because lines will be very long. Get there by rope drop; even then the crowds will build earlier than in a non-holiday week. Expect gridlock as you try to move around the...

In the summer, we also did 2 days at DL and 2 days at DCA. We did almost everything that we wanted to do. We were there from rope drop to almost closing time. i think one of the biggest differences between the two resorts was pacing and our frame of mind. 4 days at WDW, we spend one day at each...

Love Disney at Thanksgiving! It really puts you in the holiday spirit! So sorry to hear about all of your problems. You need a little magical family time.

Once I again I can live another Disney trip through you. We typically go to WDW every other Thanksgiving, but we went to Disneyland this summer instead. At least your TR will make me feel like I am there a little bit. Of course, once I talk to my mother, she will be sure to remind me that I am...

Ditto.
