    Did your 5 and 7-year-olds need a stroller?

    You know your own kids better than anybody. My dd7 NEEDED the stroller. We considered rental, then realized for $40 we could buy one at the park. It was very sturdy, good wheels and high enough handles that adults don't have to bend to push it. small sack on the back and a cup holder. a little...

Getting there was relatively simple but to get back to Pop Century we had to take a Downtown Disney bus from AKL (which passes Pop Century) then get on another bus which brought us to the pop. It was a major pain, it was our last night and...

    Which "missing or unavailable" Disney character would you like to see in the Parks ?

    My dd7 was dying to see figment, but he has taken a few months off apparently. he only comes out in peak seasons. definitely tinkerbelle would be a must see. We stood in line for an hour to meet cinderella. I wish she was more available in different places in the parks. (have to say though, it...

    We just got back jan 12th. The parks were supposed to be quieter this time of year, but honestly, there's always something new going on at Disney.

    Is the Dining Experience Add-On Worth It?

    We also brought cereal for mornings, but found it was nice by the end of the week to realize we could use a few counter service meals for a hot breakfast. You can double up on use of table service credits to go to the spirit of aloha show and the hoop de doo. we did both of these and it was...

    Christmas decorations in WDW ?

    Yes, you have to see the Osborne Family spectacle of lights. Pictures just don't do it justice. We left on the 12th and quite a few places still had their decorations up.
