    2 Mornings of ETPE with 1 WDW Resort reservation?

    My Family will be staying 1 Night at a Disney Resort during spring break 2023. I read Check-in is about 3PM. I read the FAQ of ETPE. I have read about Genie+, but want to be sure this is a valid money saving strategy? The day we fly in, we will be staying off site hotel and checking out the...

    Which Parks? Help Me Plan Experts (You!)

    Looks super, I hope you all build memories. Every 4 YO is different, some need a nap, others don't. I have read that some kids (under 7) just need a break, and to relax in a dark room for a few hours. I just rather not have a child that is grumpy come 10PM for the parade/fireworks. If she...

    Do EMH Hours Ever Change?

    Not only do they change from days to evening and from park to park, but lately the 3 Hour Evening EMH has been shortened to 2 in some/most parks. By 30 or maybe 60 day in advance you are fine. As far as going away, as the fastpass+ comes one line is only a rumor. IF it does happen, the rumor...

    Which Parks? Help Me Plan Experts (You!)

    EasyWDW and Touringplans are the best 2 sites, both are great. I looked at both before making any plans. Both agreed on the best and worst parks, which influenced my recommendation. Touringplans breaks the "rating" to each ride, while EasyWDW lumps all 4 parks into one number. I think it was...

    Which Parks? Help Me Plan Experts (You!)

    June 5&6 are both 5's for overall WDW parks attendance, some of the parks will be near empty. June 7th is a 6, but still not that bad. Any ride suitable for a 4YO you will have less than a 10 minute wait. To be honest, I go Summers and holiday's and a park of 5 would seem like a breeze. For a...

    Better to drive than ride the bus

    We always do the bus when we stay on property. If you stay at the "POPs" stay at The sports; bus's are often full by the time they get to the others. I don't know if AoA has its own buses. All the other resorts have adequate buses. The Car is a bit faster and more convenient, but not worth...

    Crowd Prediction Sites

    I'v always used Touring Plans dot com and never had an issue. It seems that TP has a method and they work on refining it. The Lines application for the smart phone is great. It can be updated when you get to the park and creates a plan based on the latest (hourly?) information.

    If you went straight to ETWB what was the wait

    Touring plans dot com says if you don't make it within the first 30 minutes the wait is 45 minutes and stays constant till past 10PM, after 10PM the wait shortens just a bit.

    sick at Disney- what to do?

    Be kind and explain to guest relations your situation. You might be surprised, and if not, be understanding that Cast Members can only bend the rules so much. Its been probably 15 years, but during a major storm Epcot lost power we were stuck in the Water Ride in Mexico, and had to be...

    My Disney Experience question--sync online with phone

    Same here, Under the More option I was able to Link my Hotel reservation and my Character Dining. Under My Plans, If I scroll to the dates, I can see the ADR but the Hotel Reservation does not show up. I have no need to buy a Park Ticket, and I was thinking that's why My Disney experience, is...

    Help me fill in the blanks please

    2 years ago we had the basic dining plan, and went to the Pepper Market at the Coronado Resort. For a Quick/CS restaurant it was Fantastic.

    Now this comment really takes the cake!!!

    Many Years ago, I did very similar to what teacher wants to do and it did NOT work well. To cut a corners we stayed at 2 star hotel near 535 and 435. It was 1.7 Miles North East of DTD, and it a "easy" walk mostly on well shaded Plaza Blvd. We took a Airport Limo to get food and to/from the...

    Why does disney raise prices during their busiest times???

    OK PEOPLE, to turn the conversation on its head, its the KINDNESS of Disney to raise prices. They know by raising prices it deters some people from visiting at high traffic times. Time is money, and keeping the people away with more time than money, makes it more enjoyable for those who can...

    Sat behind someone giving possible bad Disney info today...

    Each to his own, and congratulations on such self control. I for one would have been overwhelmed by her "unique" advice. So much is subject to time of year and individual preferences. The only good point is that person wont be at rope drop, which gives me fewer people to have to outrun :rotfl2:

    Disney in just one day? 2 adults + 2 2 year olds

    Disney is to Fun, as haste is to waist . A 2 year will get more out of a immersive experience in Fantasy Land, than a Whirlwind 4 park tour. My daughter who has now has visited WDW for 5 years since age 2, and just last year (age 10) did we think Epcot was "appropriate". For the first 2...

    Sorry about the link, I guess you have to have "my Disney experience" app. to see it. My guess the Imageneers at AK wanted to have a elephant shaped parking lots, but the Civil Engineers and the $$ people nixed it and it turned out to be almost unrecognizable.

    Here is the Picture from My Disney Experience. It appears the artist took some artistic licence. Then again I see elephants in great big puffy clouds.:artist: Right click and open it, I need to learn how to insert a picture, not just the link.

    Humiliated at the Reno Airport

    You were in a very tough situation, and you made the best call you could. I am sorry for the humiliation and the stress you must have felt. As a Dad of a 11 yo GIRL I have had to have had HER stand outside the mens room while I had to go, I did the same for her. At 11 she is more than capable...
