    Worth staying on-site for the express pass if visiting in October?

    Planning a trip for October 2018...I understand the Express Pass option is included in certain on-site hotels...would this be worth it in October? Are the crowds bad then?

    Charge for changing reservations?

    I want to take advantage of the free dining plan, but would prefer to go in October/November than in Sept. If I go ahead and book for the free dining now (for Sept) and they offer either free dining in Oct and I want to switch dates for my trip - will there be a charge?:confused3

    PMS in the parks?

    I think she would. It's very common to take birth control pills for reasons other than contraception - some people even take them to control acne. So I'd be very surprised if they didn't agree. You can even ask for Seasonal which allows you to only have a period a few times a year. I've read a...

    Vent- so hard to find swimsuit for dd5

    Have not read all the posts here yet - so sorry if someone already said this... But have you looked into Kate Mack? She makes adorable, full coverage and age appropriate suits. They can be a bit pricey ($60 full price) but they really do LAST!! They do not snag as bad as other suits and I...

    Anyone send kindergartener on time instead of holding back?

    I have a daughter with a July 12th bday and sent her to school on time with no second thoughts. However, my friend's son has a May bday and she had him wait another year before starting him. And in both cases - it was the right decision for our children. I like the idea of having the school...

    Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes

    Your kids are so beautiful and I LOVE these outfits. Sometimes boutique clothes can get a little over the top for my tastes - but these tees and the skirt are so adorable. These are my fav boys items yet I think!!

    PMS in the parks?

    :scared1: UGh! Don't ya just HATE getting a visit from Aunt Flo during a trip? This happened to me while we were in Disney in April. I wasn't expecting her to visit that week - so I was totally unprepared. Thank God the CR stocks the gift shop with all the necessities! I second the...

    stroller pick up

    The stroller rental is at guest services just inside the front gates of each park. You pick them up and return them there at each park. If you are using parkhoppers - you can get strollers at each park you are at that day with no problem. If you enter a park in the evening, sometimes you can...

    Practical souveniors

    Ornaments -as several people have said - make great souvenirs. We do this for all traveling, not just Disney. It is so nice decorating our tree each Christmas - as we pull each ornament out, we get to remember the good times we had on each trip - it's a wonderful family tradition!

    Practical souveniors

    I wanted our DD5 to choose something practical as well. I wanted it to be something she would use for at least a long while and would bring back good memories. You know what she chose? A nightgown and it's the greatest souvenier! She wears it all the time and we talk about how fun Disney was...

    First trip to walt disney world

    Ok - re-reading your post....I forgot you stressed affordable in terms of hotels. So maybe on the monorail is not what you are looking for. Anyway - there are moderate level hotels and also value leve as well. I have never stayed anywhere but Poly and Contemp....so I can't offer advice there...

    First trip to walt disney world

    The shortest trip that I like to make is 2 days for travel and 4 full days in Disney. Also - make sure you go with the parkhopper passes so you can go from one park to another as you need to. If it's in your budget - I always recommend staying on the monorail (Contemporary, Grand Floridian or...

    How to go about finding a great travel agent?

    My DH and I are thinking about taking our first cruise sometime in the next year or so. Since we are newbies to cruising - I think we'd feel better if we used a travel agent - even though normally we do all our own travel booking. So since we don't already have a fave agent - how should we...

    Can anybody confirm dining rotation for 7d eastern?

    Thanks ladies! I think I understand it now. So is there any advantage to starting with one restaurant or another? And what about table numbers - can you request a certain table if you want? And finally - I keep reading about eating early or late - any advantage either way?

    Can anybody confirm dining rotation for 7d eastern?

    Ok - this is such a stupid question, I'm sure....but can someone explain to me what exactly the "dining rotation" is all about? Obviously, I'm new to cruising.
