To all you Disney junkies...
I'm so happy I've found this site. I can't get enough of Disney. Last time I went was when I was 19. Now I'm 31 with a family of my own, and the sweetest, most precious daughter I could have. She's 7, somewhat afraid of the dark, can get scared, but very much all girl...and it's her first trip to WDW. We're going Sept. 7 through Sept. 14, 2002. I'm so excited, and my wife is thrilled I am making all the arrangements
So many questions...
*I'm staying at the Poly...want to know what people think of the Neverland Club, of the Ladybug Release, of Ohana's cocunut races, of the Luau for her, of the Poly storytelling every night, of viewing the fireworks from the beach, of the pool (and how many days should I allot to just chilling out, of the children's activities there. Is there anything I'm missing?
* If we wanted to do a night out and take advantage of the Neverland Club, is Pleasure Island/downtown Disney good for dancing (my wife and I like to swing and cha-cha)?
* Given the Fall Fling rates (40-50% off), I'm doing Poly concierge. Does the food fill you up? Which parts of the day are best for the food? Is it a good place to chill?
* We plan on arriving Sat. afternoon, relaxing on Sunday, and have a 5-day Park Hopper Pass, departing on Saturday morning. Is this a good strategy. We are also planning on taking the most of one day off (in addition to Sunday), say Wed., to spend most of the day chilling out.
* What about the evening entertainment? Luau, Hoop-Dee-Do, Illuminations, etc. What's worth the money? What will my daughter enjoy the most?
* What rides at MK should I absolutely do? How do you determine if Snow White will be too scary?
* Is AK worth doing? My thought was to for sure cover MK (most), Epcot and MGM...these are parks I've seen. What's the best way to structure 5 days (and do it at a relaxing pace)...
* Where is the best place to do a character meal...she doesn't particularly like breakfast, but gorges at lunch and dinner.
* Will she fit in a stroller? She's 4' tall and about 40-50 pounds. And, has anyone got an HT? Is it worth it? What do you do with the stroller when you go to a ride.
* What will the weather be like in early September?
* What rides/attractions are must-sees in the other parks (MGM, Epcot, AK)?
* I read about a Cinderella tea party service. Is this neat? Is it still going?
Hope I'm not asking too many questions!
I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP.
84 days til we leave! :sohappy:
