    Just back with fp+ and more

    Our family just returned from a great week at WL for Mardi Gras! I felt like the crowds were lower than our last several trips in Feb, July and May. The weather was great and had a wonderful time. We had trouble with our bands for fp+ but nothing else. When our family split up due to ages of...

We go every year so I'm trying so hard not to be commando this trip. If we get to RD great if not we have 3 rides secured from noon on plus we like nighttime...

    For those that go in the summer......would you go in June or Aug?

    We live in south Louisiana so we are used to heat but I will say we had a great end of July trip 2 yrs ago. We went the last week of July bc of a move that had us move to July from a May trip. It was more crowded but I didn't think the heat was terrible and the long park hours were great. It was...

    Am I insane to consider President's Day weekend?

    We go to Disney yearly and live in LA so go at Mardi Gras. Last year presidents weekend fell at end of our trip. It was crowded but not terrible if you have a plan! I wouldn't recommend MK that Sat unless going at rope drop for a few Attractions. We did AK that Sat and were fine doing everything.

    Feb. 2014 hours NOW posted - a MONTH late!

    I cannot imagine taking away EMH. That is the main on site perk and we always use the evening ONES after another park during the day. We are planning to upgrade to APs if we go in March but between fp+ and hearing this we may try some other vacations. I will def stay offsite for the huge savings...

    July or not July , yea or neh!

    WE went last July 20-28th due to the fact we had to move our May trip bc of a move and job transfer. We live in the deep south and I assumed it would be hot and crowded. The crowds were not bad as we have been many times and really know how to do fastpasses ect. We have 3 kids with the youngest...

I'm a bit nervous as we have a 1 yo, 7yo and 10yo so being close to food court area is the biggest thing we will need. Can anyone tell me the best request to make for a non preffered room to get...

    Yikes! Never been in June!

    I could be wrong but thought Gay days was the 1st full week of June so it wouldn't start until around June 3rd? We havent booked our trip yet but planned on going May 24th-June 2nd and thought we would miss most if not all of it?
