    Booking Palo, Remy and Brunch

    When you go to make your reservations ahead of time, do you make a reservation for a particular day and time? If so, how do we anticipate what night we want to choose one of these dining experiences (so we don't miss out trying the main dining experiences)?

    D23 EXPO THREAD - See you in 2019!

    We are going to the expo tomorrow (first timers!). It will be me and two young sons - 11 and 8. I've tried to keep expectations low, since we are only going one day and they are young. So, I have a simple question: What time should we get there tomorrow? If we get there at 7ish, that's two...

    Using Disney World tickets at Disneyland

    I am a WDW vet who went to DL on Wed 7/18 and DCA on Thurs 7/19. We had 2 day WDW passes from a free dining stay a couple of years ago. My wife and my passes were never activated; my DS6's pass had 1 day left with NE added. These were not park hoppers, At DL, we arrived at the gate at about 715...

    DL Child Swap

    We are regular WDW visitors, but will be going to DL for a quick 2-day trip this coming week while we are in California visiting relatives. Feeling a little anxiety about not being as comfortable with our touring plans as we are when we are in WDW. Couple of quick questions: 1. Does Child...

    Just got an e-mail from Disney Destinations...

    For those of you that have been upgraded: were you booked under another pin? Just curious if that has any bearing on who gets the upgrade pin.

    extended family have taken me up on my offer to join us...

    Our last two trips have been with 8 adults and 3 young children (my wife's parents and siblings). We were on the DxDDP. Not only did we make RD everyday and tour commando, we also ate every one of our 20+ TS meals together. So, I think it depends on the family. There were definitely a couple...

    First Trip with the Kiddos

    Actually, in our experience weekends haven't been so bad. Midweek tends to be worse. I think it's because so many travel on the weekends (WDW is more for vacationers flying during the weekends, whereas DL has a lot more locals that crowd it during the weekends). I know it sort of goes to...

    How much will the New Star Tours change the Toy Story mad dash in the morning at HS

    I asked a similar question recently, but didn't get any responses. More specifically, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how a typical morning touring plan may change, if you were interested in TSM, ST, ToT and RR. Any thoughts?

    Obsessing over Obscure characters... our latest is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit...

    I know the Disney Store by us is selling an Oswald plush that my DS5 is realllly hoping the Easter Bunny brings for his basket. They also have a Steamboat Willie plush that is really cool, but doesn't carry the same "rarity" element as Oswald does. Also, we met Rabbit (from Pooh) last summer...

    Star Tours II and Touring Plans

    I do subscribe to one of the touring plan websites, but I can't tell whether they've taken into account the opening of Star Tours II yet. We are going in July, and Star Tours is still listed sort of low on the plan. I assume this is a pretty typical rope drop morning touring plan (this is...

    when 1 person does a FP run and others go to another attraction..

    Can I expand this discussion a little bit? What about other scenarios where a family member may meet up with their family? Are certain situations more okay than others. We've been talking about rides, but what about shows, parade routes and meet-and-greets? Let me give you an Epcot...

    Mickey Says:"Don't Be Late Pal!"

    Boy, I hope I don't get flamed for this... I wonder if Disney has ever or would ever consider doing the same thing with Mickey that Macy's does with Santa at their Santaland....that is, have the meet and greet take place in a small private room. But there are actually several small rooms...

    Hollywood and Vine Fantasmic! Package

    The last seating for the character lunch is 2:25 and the first dinner seating (and first available F! package) is 3:30. Any chance the characters are still there by 3:30. What if we show up at 3:15 for our 3:30 ressie and are lucky enough to get seated? Anyone with experience with this?

    Best use for Dining plan snack credits?

    Just got back from 11 nights on DxDDP for 3 (66 snacks!). I can pretty much confirm what most PPs have said. My father-in-law was a little confused by the snack thing and it took him a week to start figuring it out. That's because there are no real hard-and-fast rules except this one: if it...

    On-line check in with continuing reservations.

    We leave Tuesday for 12 nights - 1 1-night room only, and 2 multi-day packages. I was faced with the same choice, and I decided to use online check-in for the first night (the room only). Here was my thinking: We are flying late in the day, so we won't ge to POP until about 9 PM. If it's...

    3D Glasses and Kids

    I was actually wondering if the 3-D shows at WDW use the same 3D technology as 3D films in the theater. Toy Story 3 was the first movie to give kids-sized RealD glasses, which we still have. Would they work at Disney? BTW, my DS 4 has never had a problem with the ones in Disney; just...

    Shipping items from an outside company to your resort...

    Just did this today to send diapers from amazon to POP for our trip next week. Called the POP front desk and they told me to do it this way: Pop Century Address (Can't remember it) Lake Buena Vista, FL ZIP Attn: (your name) Arriving (your arrival date) They'll store it in their office...

    R.E. "Expensive parking" at disney

    Sesame Place, which is is essentially located right in the middle of a mall parking lot, charges about $14 a day for parking as well. Some of the spots are so far from the front gate that you could probably park in the "free" mall parking lot and have the same distance walk. Every major...

    Fairy God-Mailers Looking for Children to Surprise

    We're heading down in August, and my two boys (1 and 4) would love to get something from a character letting them know how excited all their Disney friends are about them visiting soon. Let me know what you need from me! (We also had a July Disney-moon, 6 years ago - you'll love it!).
