    3 day park to park...wwyd?

    I am excited, but nervous about our upcoming trip. Here are the basics: We check in to Royal Pacific on Sunday Aug. 16 for a 3 night stay. We are 2 adults and 2 boys, age 11 and almost 9. We can get there any time since we will be checking out of OKW. We have a rental car so no need for taxi. We...

    Check in time for resorts

    We'll have a vehicle so I guess our best bet is to get there in time to make sure we get to check in, get our room keys and then walk to the park. Is the room key the express pass? We bought tickets through UT. Thanks!

    Check in time for resorts

    We are in Disney to enjoy the resorts for a few days before taking the kids to their first visit to Universal. We have 2 nights at Universal with a 3 day park to park pass. I was wondering if you think they'll let me check in the night prior at Universal so we can be up early for the extra park...

    Potc Soaked!!!

    We were at the MVMCP in December on a cool Sunday evening. It was me, my 2 sons, and their Godmother, who was with us for her very first visit to MK. We were in the front row and got drenched! I mentioned it to the ride attendant who kindly told me that there were signs indicating that we may...

    Soaked on POTC!

    I agree! Thus was my 30+ visit in over 35 years. I've ride. This at least 50 times. I need more of a heads up if the change is that significant

    Soaked on POTC!

    I had heard that the new boats could cause you to get splashed more so than the old boats, but we got soaked on Sunday night. There were 2 adults and 2 children in the front row. When we went down the hill, we got soaked when the water came in the front of the boat. It was cold that night too...

    Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2014 - Have Yourself a Very Mickey Christmas!

    Great review! Our problem recently has been seeing the Celebrate the Memories show. They pack you in so tight that the kids can't see. It's only shown once on party nights, right? Any advice on a good spot for the kids? I thought the train platform. Also, does the parade start in Frontierland...

    Preparing for first Christmas trip

    We spent the past 2 Christmases in Disney. It's the best time of the year there. Your crowds will grow as you get closer to the end of your trip. Make sure to see Santa in MK.... He's fabulous! Also the resort decorations, especially GF and Beach Club. We did the sleigh ride in FW and enjoyed...

    "Villains Unleashed" Hard Ticket Event!

    Guests are being offered refunds for the event if they complain at guest relations. I am glad Disney is taking care of them. Many are extremely disappointed.

    7DMT...kids hitting head?

    The seat backs are hard so I agree that it seems to be that they are just the right height (about 49 and 55 inches tall) I was going to mention it to a cm at the end of the ride but there was no one to be found.
