Cute tops, especially the tank! I don't recall seeing either shirt back in late January...new stuff?? Definitely going to have to make a pit stop!

I have never had a problem switching or canceling an ADR last minute. You just have to talk to a castmember so they can help you. It isn't possible to cancel an ADR the same day by using the app or website. So you can do it over the phone or face to face. The penalty fee is more for no shows. But as long as you talk to someone and get it straightened out before your reservation time you will be fine. :) I think Disney realizes that things can change, I've never been told no or had any issues at all. :)

This is great to know. I've been assuming we will have to make a final decision about whether or not we want to keep or change an ADR the night before.

I love your trip report, btw! We are staying at the BC for the first time next month and also going to see the Wizarding World for the first time while we're there. It really doesn't look that busy at US in your pictures, but according to Touring Plans today is a 9/10 crowd level there!

Touring Plans are a crock of dooty in my opinion. ;) If I had a nickel for every time I've overheard someone in the parks say what they crowd level was supposed to be and how wrong it was then I'd buy the Beach Club!! :rotfl:
 


We check in next week but not CL. I looked into upgrading to celebrate my husband's graduation & our 20th anniversary but not quite in our budget. It sure looks like our 3 teenage boys would love it!!! Someday, but for now I am enjoying the great report!!!! Thanks for the great info!

It's definitely great for teen boys. :)
They seem to always be hungry, and I really think I save money in the end by upgrading to CL versus buying all the snacks and drinks they would need. Breakfast alone is a huge money saver.
Perfect example last night. Connor loved all the food they had in the lounge at 5:00 so he decided not to go to Cape May with us. He was just too full to eat more. So that took about $50 off our dinner bill. :)
 
Everyone raves about CL, making all of us so jealous. My Magical reservation does not offer this option - so I am locked into not having to make the decision. We love being in the parks every hour we can and the CL hours interfere with this mentality. With all your luscious food pictures... maybe we will have to consider a monorail resort and attempt CL next time. As I posted on another thread, we are testing mid-day breaks at SAB for this trip. If any pool can draw us away from the parks midday, it will be SAB.

Love your Frozen fireworks pictures! Heck - love all your pictures. : o )
 
Loving your TR Erika! Sorry the weather didn't fully cooperate yesterday, but it sure looks like you and your boys are having a blast! A few quick questions whenever you get a chance: How have the breakfast offerings been? If you have any pictures to post that would be great! Also, have you tried the 4th FP texting? If so, what did you think? Thanks so much for sharing your trip with all of us and taking the time to post your updates. Enjoy the rest of your vacation! :)
 
Loving your trip report Erika!! Your pictures are awesome!! I love the fireworks over the Eiffel tower! Thanks for sharing!!
 
Erika, quick question regarding Frozen. I took the boys for a quick trip last summer too, so we saw the 2014 version of frozen fun. Tried to get the premium package last year, but it was sold out by the time I booked our trip (which was three weeks before departure!) Fireworks were packed, everything was crazy last year.

So this time, I was thinking of the premium package primarily for the dessert party and the parade. We would probably not do the sing-a-long. The boys love a special event, and I wish we could book the dessert party separately. Our oldest is the only one who knows about the trip and he thinks it's probably not worth the cost, but I'm on the fence. (Also, AKL non-CL for us, so they will be hungrier than usual!) Any thoughts or observations based on what you've seen?

Personally I don't think it's worth it. The fireworks look better the further away you can get. The parade is pretty much the same as last summer. The sing along was better this year I thought. The theater is really nice, more sets and props, better quality show. I'm bummed they don't have Old Oaken's Trading Post this year or the ice skating and snow play areas.
 
I'm baaaaack ;)

Today was a bit crazy! The kids and I squeezed in a morning at the Studios before I had to split from them to take a tour of the new Four Seasons Orlando. And WOW is it really something special! :D I've got lots of pics to share!
