Nevermind! I guess it just took a while to update because this morning I was able to book fastpasses at 41 days out. So exciting for SoG users!

I am not having success using the fastpass 60 days out with Shades of Green. I linked our reservations successfully to MDE, but the fast passes still aren't open more than 30 days out. I chatted with a disney agent - the first one said SoG does get 60 days out (this was before I had attempted to...

We will be at Disney World from Jan 24-29 with a 4 day park hopper. I want to pick one main park each day to start at, knowing that with little kids we might take a break midday back at the hotel (Shades of Green) and pick a different park for late/afternoon evening if we feel like we got to...

Excellent! Thanks for all the info. I'll see where we can get reservations as our dates open up.

Any tips on which character dining experience is best for my 7 and 4 year old boys? We are staying at Shades of Green and not doing a meal plan, so we will only do one character dining experience. I'm thinking of breakfast at Crystal Palace (that's winnie the pooh, right?). Or maybe Donald's...

We stayed on Disney property last time we went to Disney (in 2014) and got magic bands. This time we are staying off-property and I'm wondering if we can use our old Magic Bands? And if so, how do we link them up to fast passes, the photo service (can't remember what that's called!), tickets...

So you'd recommend walking over to the Poly for breakfast and then taking the transportation (monorail to MK or Epcot and buses to anywhere else) rather than doing breakfast and bus from Shades of Green? Maybe we should also consider dinner at the Poly if we aren't staying out late? Does the...

We've been to Disney World one other time and we stayed on the property and used a meal plan. Now we're starting to plan our next trip in January of 2018 and we're staying at Shades of Green and not using a meal plan. We'll eat breakfast at Shades of Green each day, but I'd like to set up either...

We are considering staying at Shades of Green in January of 2018. The only other time we went to Disney we stayed at Art of Animation (March 2014). How does fast pass, dinner reservations, etc work with SoG since it isn't a disney hotel? Will we still get the magic bands? If not, how do these...

Our first trip to disney world is this week and it's looking like we're not going to get there tomorrow like we thought because of bad weather and cancelled flights. I cancelled our dinner reservations for our first night there because I'm fairly sure we won't be there on time. We have the meal...

We are making our first trip to Disney World on Monday and I'm looking for some info about viewing fireworks. We are traveling with our 4 and 1 year olds so I'd like to make this as simple as possible and am considering skipping it altogether. Is there a way to view the fireworks at any of the...

Thanks for the tips! I have some self filtering bottles but hasn't thought about bringing them to Disney til now.

Packing and wondering if water bottles are allowed and if there are drinking fountains around to fill them up? We're also doing the meal plan and I think you get some sort of big cup. No one in my family drinks soda - should we just use those and get water? Sounds annoying if they don't...

We are planning a 4 day trip to Disney - 2 days at the Magic Kingdom and 1 day at Animal Kingdom. Which do you think my 4 year old will have more fun at the other day - Epcot or Hollywood Studios? I think the aquarium stuff at Epcot and maybe the car design ride would be enjoyable for him. At...

We're doing our first disney vacation with 2 boys (4 and 1) the first week in March. I saw that fireworks are nightly at 8pm. If we do a sit down dinner before (maybe at 6:30), which restaurant is close so that we can go out to view the fireworks right after dinner? Also, is there a main street...

I'm finding it really hard to price compare! We are traveling with a family of 4 (one 4 yo, one 1 yo, 2 adults) plus 3 extra adults (extended family). We definitely want to do a few character meals and we'll be at disney for 5 nights. How much do individual sit down meals cost if you aren't on...

Forgot one more question! I assume the 4 year old is full price for the meal plan, but what happens with a one year old. I wouldn't pay for a meal plan, can I just let him have little bits of our food if its a buffet? I have no idea what he'll be eating as he's only 6 months now and just...

Hi! Planning our first trip to Disney and wondering about a couple of things. I heard we need to make character dining reservations well ahead of time and most count as our sit down meal for the day. (we are doing the meal plan with sit down meal, quick meal, and snack). We are doing 4 days at...
