    New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    I know we had all been hoping that spring meant March/April rather than later! Where did the May 2016 come from in today's post? Didn't know if it was definitely no earlier than May, or if there was still a chance it might open before then?

    Orlando photographers

    A friend of mine will be bringing her family to Disney World in September for a Make-A-Wish trip. We were wondering if there were any local Orlando photographers that come take candid photos of families at the Disney parks. (I know that Photopass photographers are available, but we were thinking...

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    I saw that parks are opening now at 8am with the extra magic hour starting at 7am - How far into August/September do the parks usually continue with the 8am opening time? We traveled last November and the times were 9am opening but an 8am extra magic hour? I didn't know if it tied to a holiday...

    DLR planning questions

    Make sure to read through the thread of DLR for WDW vets. It was a huge help when we went to DLR last year! Lots of helpful tips.

    Photopass+

    We always buy Memory Maker at WDW and come home with hundreds of pictures. Love it, love it. When we went to DL last year, I didn't think twice about purchasing the Photopass+ because that's just what I do ... While I'm glad that I did (and I've already ordered it for our DL trip this...

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    I think I saw Alice and Mad Hatter doing this on our last trip (we went without kids!) - It's so different to see engaging activities like that when characters would be completely mobbed by the crowds at WDW if the same activities happened there! Are children randomly picked or can they ask to...

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    How about sign-up for Jedi Training at DL? I know at Hollywood Studios in WDW, you need to go first thing in the morning and shows fill up quickly. Same thing on the west coast? I didn't know how quickly shows fill up out there since there are so many other things to do at that park! At HS, Jedi...

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    This thread is so helpful for WDW regulars!!! It helped me last year, so I'm back again with some more questions! Is Olaf still there? If so, is it a fastpass-only meet? Isn't the Anna & Elsa meet also fastpass-only? Are these disconnected fastpasses? How does it work on days with extra magic...

    Breakfast at Plaza Inn

    How many characters usually appear at this breakfast? I've seen that you may get a random group and that only Minnie is guaranteed, but how many are usually there? I've seen some places show pictures that made it appear that several characters appeared- I couldn't tell if those were from...

    Missed reservation fee

    Definitely call if you don't plan to make it to your reservation. I've had friends that were charged with the fee when they didn't show up. You won't be charged a fee if you show up for a lesser number of guests. Let's say you have a reservation for 6 and two of the adults decide they don't...

    Who's been to Trader Sam's lately?

    We were at Trader Sam's recently after we had been to dinner at California Grill. It was really late (and a night in the middle of the week) but I was surprised we didn't have a wait at all - we were able to be seated immediately. The effects are really cool and I thought it was definitely...

    What would work?

    It's going to be much easier on you if you don't have to move during your trip, but like the others said, it's going to be hard to get the connecting one for the latter part of your trip. In addition to putting any request on your reservation, it's also worth a call directly to your resort a few...

    Pocahantas?

    I would show up before the time her meet is scheduled. Anytime we have seen Pocahontas, the lines has always formed before she arrived - so arrive early!

    Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour

    Keys to the Kingdom is a great tour! Definitely worth the cost to do it.

    Things I wish I would have known / Disappointment in DL

    We are a WDW family. When we visited DL last year, and we had the best time!! I knew that DL wasn't WDW, and because I had done the research to know the differences, I was able to embrace them and appreciate the two places and their differences rather than be disappointed! I loved that...

    Wait times at FastPass+ (January 2016)

    You can't book a package yet, but you can book a room-only reservation right now. That way you've got a reservation on property when your 180 day window opens up. Then whenever the packages are released, have your room-only reservation changed over to a package. We were there in January this...

    Tusker House or Chef Mickeys

    My 5 year old and 7 year old daughters have been to the Alice tea and they both really enjoyed it. They could be checked in about 15-20 minutes early and we left them coloring outside the doors of 1900 Park Fare. (No parents were allowed inside). When the tea party started, they were taken...
