Welp, we finally did it! (Now the "questions thread")

[Model3 McQueen]

Gotcha! So with food and budget in mind, I’d recommend...
MK: Liberty Tree Tavern - understated, cozy, American fare with sandwiches/salads
Epcot: Coral Reef - seafood, awesome ambience eating next to tanks full of fish! Or at World Showcase, our favorites are San Angel Inn, Spice Road Table, and Chefs de France
HS: Sci Fi and 50’s Prime Time are cool atmospheres and relatively cheap...but I’d also throw in Mama Melrose for some good Italian food!
AK: actually think you may enjoy Satu’li Canteen...a quick service place in Pandora. No reservations needed for surprisingly delectable protein bowls on top of rice or salads with amazing dressings. Seriously so good!

Awesome! I have written down a list of these restaurants and will prioritize them when searching to make a reservation. Definitely appreciate you taking the time to share this with me!

Not a thing to worry about with transportation. Single dad, I've taken my daughter 3 times just her and I. First trip she was 6 and I was beyond stressed leading in to that trip. Flights on delta, jetblue, southwest in to MCO and then over to WDW on the express. We rely solely on the internal disney transportation and other than waiting in lines occasionally, it's never been an issue.

Honestly once you're on the ground and deplaned, just head to the magical express area on the ground level of main terminal. Check your bags at your home airport with the yellow luggage tags DME sends you prior to your trip and the bags will get to your room no problem (remember to cut the yellow tags off AFTER they get to your room). It's so stress free. There can be a little bit of a wait on the magical express bus to get rolling out of MCO but it's never been *that* bad for us, we're just happy to be in orlando and doing our thing.

Only thing I somewhat stress about is making sure you're at the DME stop at the hotel at the time they give you (you'll get an envelope of info hanging on your room door the morning of the day before you leave). Just be at that bus stop on time and you're golden.

Thank you! This is good information to know. The only thing I see myself worrying about is the crowds or getting lost, but i'm sure that's not relatively close to being a real problem.

Congratulations on your upcoming trip! My experience is over a decade old, but I also was stressed about Disney transportation the last time I went and it ended up being a non-issue. They're extremely efficient and, aside from some waits for buses to arrive, the experience was a most pleasant one. The drivers all know their routes like the back of their hands and it was no trouble getting anywhere we wanted to go. You can just relax and take in the view.

I also suffer from social anxiety and get really uncomfortable in new situations and large crowds. For some reason, I've always done okay at WDW. Maybe it's because the Cast Members tend to take care of you and put you at ease. Plus, I'm so in love with the place that my brain just looks past the hoards of people and I focus on all of the little details that are everywhere you look. There are so many fairly quiet places still where you can just sit on a bench and catch your breath when you get overwhelmed. Sometimes just finding one of those spots and planting yourself there for five or ten minutes can make a huge difference.

I hope you have a wonderful time!

Thank you the more positive experiences I hear on the subject, the better haha.

I'm sorry to hear that you too suffer from the same demons. Like you, i'm sure i'll be way too busy being excited and appreciative of the moment!

The only thing I did in Sept that I won't do again is go park-to-park on the buses. If that's my plan for the day, I'll just drive -- a lot quicker and more reliable.

Glad you brought this up. I know they offer transit to all 4 parks, from all 4 parks. But my plan was to take the monorail from MK to EPCOT, vice versa, and use buses or boats for the other 3. I'm not sure how bad the crowds are going to be, park to park, or if it depends on the time and what not..? Not to mention, it must be a cluster figuring out where to go for your hotel. I assume it'll be timely.

Part of what I love about staying on property is that I don't have to worry about driving (and dealing with people who don't know how to drive). Letting Disney handle the transportation helps me relax. Hopefully you'll find the same thing!

Congrats on booking your trip. I'm sure you'll have an amazing time!

That's what I was thinking! I know the waits will probably be longer, but it beats paying for parking / rental car, and worrying about traffic! Thank you

Coronado Springs is a lovely resort. If I opt to stay at WDW on my next Florida trip, that's the mod I'll pick. Have fun!

Awesome! Glad to hear I chose right. It was the cheapest of the moderates, which is why I picked it haha. Appreciate it!

With a limited budget, and limited days on site, I would limit how many meals you plan to eat at sit-down reserved restaurants to just a few highlights. You can have more time and flexibility to do other things in the parks by eating a quick serve meal, and save money for a couple of expensive meals. Other than your travel day, which sounds like you're not going to a park, if you schedule a meal off-site at a hotel, you need to factor in travel time to/from the hotel, and that will take further time away from the parks.

Good advice. Seeing that I don't know a thing about WDW restaurants or their offerings, perhaps I should take it slow for this trip and pre-plan better for the next. Thankfully, I got a good few recommendations from @belledream.

The idea of traveling around for restaurants did remain in the back of my head. If I reserve dinner for one restaurant, I know I basically locked myself to that area for the day. I'm not exactly thrilled about that aspect but i'm sure it's not as bad as i'm making it up to be.

The only piece of advise I will give you is this...there are MANY negative threads on here about the WDW that was as opposed to the WDW that is now...DO NOT read into the negativity too much...if you look for all the bad stuff you read about, you'll FIND some, NOT ALL, but if you avoid the stress of the negative and appreciate the positive, you WILL have a magical trip! Once you get back to the "real world", you'll immediately notice the difference and appreciate all there is in "The World". Have a GREAT time, take notes both positive and negative, and write a trip report telling us everything you experienced on your vacation!!

We're definitely excited to go and i'm sure the magic of being there will be absolutely overwhelming Thank you for the kind words! And as a Disneyland veteran (1 - 2 times per year), i'll be sure to write up an interesting trip report about our first time in recent memory

Regarding ADRs- my bestie (and frequent tag-along on many of our WDW trips in the past) suffers from pretty debilitating anxiety and social anxiety. She's been hospitalized several times.

In her case, pre-planning fast passes and restaurant reservations is a no-go. She doesn't get stressed setting them up, but it has created a lot of anxiety for her having everything pre-planned, because if she wakes up and can't leave the hotel that day or really doesn't think she can handle Magic Kingdom and would prefer a leisurely stroll around World Showcase, she doesn't feel pressured to go by plans made months out when she was at her safe space- at home.

Having been to WDW dozens of times since childhood, she was really surprised how her anxiety could be such a problem. Once she killed the advance planning, her trips have gone relatively smoothly.

My cousin also struggles with anxiety, and for him, the pre-planning helped because he felt some control over the situation. It goes without saying that I don't vacation with both people at the same time!

Congrats on your upcoming trip- please do a trip report

Good lord, i'm so sorry about your bestie. She can, and will, get through this. When I was at my worst, it seemed that my life was worthless (I wasn't suicidal, but I was living in a small shell, wholly consumed with fear). I was never hospitalized for it but I remember those sleepless nights of vomiting, violent shaking, fast breathing and crushing pain. It's tough but when they finally figure out what to do, it's like a brand new life. Same goes for your cousin!

Thank you so much for the kind words, i'll definitely write up a trip report!

Monorail between MK (TTC) and Epcot is doable, as long as it's running. You'll have no trouble finding the right stop, as all the stops are numbered and there's at least one directory as you approach the stops from the park. Timely is the issue: It took me 50 minutes to get from DHS to AK using the bus. Ten minutes to walk to the stop, another 25 waiting for the bus, and an additional 15 for the ride between parks.

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Yay! Have fun!

 

[graphite1326]

After countless years of trying to plan something, my girlfriend and I were finally able to book a trip to WDW! We're very excited, but i'm also a bit nervous as this would be my first time going in over 10 years, and her first time overall, so i'm not quite sure what to expect or see.

The Plan:
In a nutshell, We will be staying at the Coronado Springs Resort for 5 (6?) days between Jan - Feb (as I read this is probably the best time to go). The price of the hotel was hard to argue with - Although the park tickets were probably face value, Coronado had a "Magic your Way" special going on and we booked rooms at 160 a night. All in all, a 5 day / 6 night stay with 5 day park hopper was just over 2,000. We're going to probably set aside a budget of around 100 a day for food. I also saw that there was a Target just south of Coronado, so we'll probably take a Lyft and get our breakfast / late night snack needs and bring it back to the hotel, on the day we arrive. The flight will be paid for, thanks very much to my Southwest credit card points promo. Haven't booked that yet but I will probably a month+ in advance.

I hope we can arrive before the sun sets! After Target I'd certainly love to visit downtown Disney as a proper intro to our vacation. I already have a plan for the first full day - visit EPCOT all morning / afternoon, then head over to DHS to visit ToT at night. I can hardly contain my excitement - I miss ToT so much, and i'm so happy i'll be able to share the experience with my lady.

The Story:
Now on to my boring, personal story: Since college, I have had a severe issue with Panic and Anxiety. I even developed an agoraphobia for awhile. I'm not going to touch on this subject too deeply unless someone on here is suffering from it too and needs advice.

Roughly 2 years ago, I started making severe lifestyle changes; new direction in life, new habits, & smarter decisions all led me through my journey to recovery (It was also in this stage where I met my lady). Now I am extremely proud to admit that at the beginning of this year, I flew from Phoenix to Hawaii and after a week, came back. It was a life changer, realizing I am no longer victim to my own monsters. I still have anxiety, but it's much more tame now.

That being said, part of what makes me nervous for this trip, is that Disney is providing all of the transportation. I've yet to visit a place where I didn't rent a car or have family around. Disney is providing everything with the Magical Express and in-city transport.

I'm also thinking about how the fastpass+ / dining reservations work, but that'll be a bridge to cross when we get within (60?) days. I'm not necessarily thrilled with the idea of reserving things I have no experience with. I did play with MyDisneyExperience a little bit, so I suppose most of the work is already done but I am definitely preparing to revisit the website a few times!

The Outro:
I'm a bit bummed about the Magic Kingdom Railroad being down but i'm sure the other experiences will more than make up for it. I don't see any other schedule refurbs, minus MKRR and TLSW, so Disneyworld here we come!

Oh, and although I probably deserve it - if you have advice, please don't pull a Shooter McGavin and tell me to go to the 9th green at 9pm

Spoiler: The Secret of the Pros

I had an anxiety problem. Mine turned around after our first trip to WDW. I immersed myself in going back and for some reason keeping myself busy that way helped greatly. Have fun.

 

[Chef Mickey]

Was your anxiety a result of being out of control in situations like a flight or was it the fear of flying itself? It sounds like you have anxiety because of the transportation at Disney, so it must not be limited to flying.

That said, Disney transportation is like clockwork. It's always going to be there and get you to your destination. Just be prepared to deal with a crowded bus or two and potentially a 15-30 minute for a bus wait if you get unlucky.

Guest Services can help you with accommodations for anxiety, although don't take advantage of it. If you can wait in lines without getting panicky, just do it.

Very cool, good to know.
Might as well ask.. is there a schedule for the busses that go park to park? I'm slowly but surely preparing to walk over 100 miles a day lol.

Yay! Have fun!

Thank you!!

I don't know.. it's bizarre, I played AAA travel ice hockey for over 10 years and flew all over the states. I always had high anxiety, but I used it to my advantage in that I was usually the fastest skater out there. I remember once I had an anxiety attack sometime before 10, and again when I was 16, after riding Mission: Space and heading back to the hotel (ironically, one of my nastiest attacks I remember was at WDW). This is before I knew what anxiety and panic really were.

It really developed in college and slowly ate away at me until I had agoraphobia. I did all the usual - shun friends, stay in comfortable places, etc. I'm sure i'll be alright, given my new life changing habits and better understanding of my situation.

I appreciate you letting me know. What does guest services do for anxiety? Once or twice at Disneyland I had to ask for tums because of my racing adrenal glands knocking my stomach acid around.

No schedule that I know of... just periodically whenever the bus gets around to it. it's ok, I'm not bitter...

Not to butt in but It should be every 20 minutes. Honestly, who knows. If you get the MDE app, you can see the bus times to and from your resort but not park to park. So that's something at least.

I've waited 45 minutes for a bus from Wilderness Lodge to Disney Springs. I always assume an hour to get from one place to another when using any form of WDW transit (yes, including monorail!).

I try to avoid buses when I can which isn't often. Don't forget about the path between Epcot and DHS (15/20 minute walk)! There's the boats that run that route too but I enjoy the walk much more. And if you're at the MK, want to explore the Contemporary, and the lines for the monorail are insane, you can walk there (about 10 minutes).

 

[thomas998]

I know lots of people will swear by Disney's transportation... but frankly I swear at it if I'm forced to use it. Consider renting a car if your budget allows, otherwise you're going to be giving away an hour or 2 each day standing in line for a bus.

Good luck, and you could always rent a car too. No harm or foul in that and if you look around some really good deals.

@larryz lol. Okay, good to know.

@trainplane3 What I like about Coronado is that it's pretty close to 3 of the 4 parks. I wish it had Monorail or boat but the cost really wasn't worth it.

EPCOT to DHS is a 15/20 minute walk? That's amazing - than if we wanted to visit ToT at night during our first day, it would make sense to make EPCOT our first visit and walk (or boat, if the timing is right) to DHS an hour and a half prior to closing. Thanks!

Checking out other hotels would be great and hopefully we can find the time to do so, while having enough time to experience the best of the parks as well.

Thanks for the tips gents.

I looked into this through Costco but their packages were a joke. I mean, one of them involved staying at the Swan and rental car, which is fine, but then only allowed for UNIVERSAL tickets. Seriously. IMO, it was probably ideal to do everything Disney with the magic bands and magic hours and all that jazz.

Rental car itself would've been great, but for a budget trip i'm not willing to pay for parking and a rental car, to avoid the busses that'll take you to the front of the parks and back. Wouldn't that tack on a good amount of expense for our trip?

On our next visit, when we have more time, i'd certainly like to visit Universal and the beach, possibly NASA. Then i'll definitely do it

Well, at Orlando International Airport, a midsize car is usually around 200 bucks for a week. It's worth it for me, but if you're trying to save every nickel you can get along just fine without one.

I may consider it if the benefits outweigh the cost. I'm certainly not so keen on waiting long times for busses. Don't the hotels charge for parking now?

 

[danyoung56]

Yeah, that's another negative. And if you don't have an annual pass, it'll cost you $25 a day to park at the parks.

No problem!
I typically follow the solid red line but you can take the dashed line as well. The solid line takes you by the Boardwalk which has some stores, bars, restaurants, and a ice cream place. It's a pretty cool spot. The boats are pretty slow (you can usually beat the boats between the parks) but if you aren't into walking, then that's an option.

 

[Model3 McQueen]

We'll see how my legs are holding up near the end of the day If there's some cool shops i'm sure my lady will want to stop at some of them. Therefor I should probably allow 2 or 3 hours to make it over hahaha thanks!

 

[Model3 McQueen]

So here's what i'm thinking so far..

Arrival day (Sunday)
Take the Magical Express to our hotel, go from hotel to Target (for breakfast and late night snack supplies), back to hotel, then to downtown, spend a few hours there, then hopefully come back to our rooms with the luggage waiting for us.
Day 1 (Monday)
Spend all day at EPCOT, around 5 or 6 walk or boat to DHS for ToT at nightfall. Have reservations for Test Track, Frozen, and some other third ride. I have bad memories with Mission: Space.
Day 2 (Tuesday)
Visit Animal Kingdom and probably stay all day. Have fastpass reservations for FoP, Expedition Everest, and Dinosaur.
Day 3 (Wednesday)
Visit Magic Kingdom. Have Fastpass reservations for Seven Dwarf's Mine Train, Splash Mountain, and i'll figure out the third when the time comes. I've heard Space Mountain is falling apart.
Day 4 (Thursday)
Visit DHS. Have Fastpass reservations for Slinky Dog, ToT, and RnR. If we get tired of the park, we'll take a bus to another.
Day 5 (Friday)
No plan. We'll see which parks we like and what attractions we wish to visit. FP reservations may not be an option for this day because it would limit our freedom.
Day 6 (Saturday)
Fly home - Least fun day.

 

[trainplane3]

Day 1 (Monday)

Personally, I'd say give green a try. No forces but a pretty movie at least. Lines are usually 20 minutes tops. Honestly, use the FP on SSE. Because of FP, lines can get up to an hour...for a omnimover.

Day 2 (Tuesday)
Visit Animal Kingdom and probably stay all day. Have fastpass reservations for FoP, Expedition Everest, and Dinosaur.
Day 3 (Wednesday)
Visit Magic Kingdom. Have Fastpass reservations for Seven Dwarf's Mine Train, Splash Mountain, and i'll figure out the third when the time comes. I've heard Space Mountain is falling apart.

Ya...I mean, it's unique so I'd give it a go anyways. Just have your expectations low. Really low. Lower then what you're thinking right now. You'll get them low enough by the time you get there Shame though. Our TL is pretty great and our Peoplemover still moves people.

I know a few people “in the know” who won’t ride it anymore.

Day 4 (Thursday)
Visit DHS. Have Fastpass reservations for Slinky Dog, ToT, and RnR. If we get tired of the park, we'll take a bus to another.

Don't forget about the Indy stunt show or Muppets. They're old but still pretty fun, especially since you haven't been there in a while. Plan for another park though, you'll burn through DHS pretty quickly.

 

[larryz]

Yeah, that's another negative. And if you don't have an annual pass, it'll cost you $25 a day to park at the parks.

Resort guests still get free parking in the park lots. They only have to pay to park at their resort.
"Registered Guests of Disney Resort Hotels, select Annual Passholders, Premium Passholders and Disney Premier Passport holders may enjoy complimentary standard self-parking at Disney theme parks. "
