    Family and friends not showing up for fastpass+

    I'm having a slightly different problem. I have 2 extra people on our F& F list that I can' t take off. When I registered our park passes I get the message that we can make FP+ at 30 days. We're on property for 13days and shouldd be able to make FP+ tomorrow! I also get the message that names...

    March trip

    Spring breaks are all over the board this year bbecause of Easter in April. Colleges might be mid-March but most families follow grades K-12 calendars. As a teacher I was surprised that our district is off when you are and then we go back to school for two 4day weeks in a row. Many districts...

    Xmas week park closures

    Your toughest days will be 24,25, 30,31. We've never been to HS on Christmas but it makes sense that it's a smaller park and like MK. will close by 10. On the 30, MK will do a "practice"of their NYE fireworks so you may have problems then too. There is a sticky that talks about park closures --...

    Critique my Christmas ADRs

    I'm concerned about the crowd level with the young ages of your girls. I would keep trying to get an earlier time for that Royal Table dinner, especially oop! You don't say when your arrival is but if you are checking in that day, it might be a long day for everyone. Would SciFi be scary for...

    NEW YEARS EVE Questions!

    We've been at WDW for the holidays when it was in the 90's and another time in the 30's. Now we pack a little for both -- swimsuits, gloves, hats,hoods, even hand & toe warmers. Watch the schedules. MK does NYE fireworks on 30 & 31. Epcot does early fireworks -- around 7 -- and then again at...

    Christmas week - Rent car or Disney buses?

    It will be extremely crowded -- use the buses. Parks may close and the bus drivers know what to do.

    "Dreaming of Disney Christmas" In-room celebration worth it?

    I don't think you'll miss the room package at all. You're right on track with the CP. Then remember the lights at DHS. Then there are the special fireworks and extra special fireworks -- suggest MK on the 30th and Epcot on the 31st. Make time to visit each resort with all their themed...

    Nothing like a non Disney trip to put MDE in perspective

    Just a note on the Breakers, I'm 65 and stayed at the Breakers as a child! The bathroom was down the hall and shared! I guess CP invests in roller coasters and not their hotel or a/c. Oh yeah, Lake Erie causes problems with Ohio water every year - turn on water and smell the algae. I'll keep...

    Anyone ever move from One room type to another

    Our family has done moves to other resorts and we're doing one at Christmas and I'm dreading packing everything up. We're going to have a kitchen and will have to pack food up too even if we try to plan carefully and not have too much food left by that time. We will have a car and at OKW the car...

    Christmas Strategies

    I'm starting to push some panic buttons for you! We've been to WDW every year for 38 years and are also planning a Christmas trip for this year. The Christmas season is a whole different ballgame -- the busiest time of the year and it's wonderful. The good news is that you're not taking young...

    Do these look good for our Christmas Vacation ADRs?

    I don't see any references for fireworks! They are spectacular for the holidays! Makes the trip with the crowds worth it! MK does NYE fireworks on 30th and 31st -catch on 30th and then do Epcot on 31st! Epcot usually does them twice in the evening so little ones can leave and get to bed...

    Touring advice for lumbar spine issues

    I have the same problem and had a problem on our last trip to WDW. I was able to use the resort wheelchair for the last couple of days but I really hated being pushed. For our trip at Christmas, I am planning on renting an ecv. I don't like the idea but just the walk from the bus to the park...

    Plan of Attack Advice

    You are doing a lot of moving around. We would have tried the same thing 20 years ago when crowds were smaller but not anymore. Save yourself some $$$$ and skip the parkhopper. You have to figure about 1 - 1.5 hours for transportation between parks. It appears that your first day is a Friday...

    Where can I WALK to from BLT?

    I'm not sure if it could be done and/or at what price but --- there are horse-drawn carriages somewhere. Maybe at SSR? Campground? Scheduling could also be a huge problem. I'll bet they would be thrilled to let you have a date night with them babysitting unless it opens up the whole thing...

    Best Place For New Year's Eve Dinner?

    We have gone to WDW several times for the Holidays. MK will close by 10am on NYE. Epcot will also close but it is a wonderful place to be for NYE. The fireworks are offered twice so that people with children can leave earlier. OUr favorite place for dinner is Rose and Crown at about 6:30 and...

    Family staying in different resorts?

    All the previous replies have good points! I think the adults have to decide if they want POP for price, convenience, or nostalgia. There are definitely better pools for those children and Dis is for kids! How about POR/FQ -- it's only one letter different, still has a food court (I think -...

    3 quick questions for members who might know

    We've rented several times in the last years. We have repeat requests. We always get their credit card number, exp. date, and the names and ages of all the people and kids in the party. Discuss if they want the day they get there or the last day they are there -- depends on flights. Suggest...
