    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    We just got back from a stay in Aruba - building 51. Busses to MK were never a problem for us although we did walk over to the Jamaica bus stop as they were picked up before Aruba and in the morning the busses fill up fast. We did wait about 20 minutes for an AK bus one morning (3 or 4 MK...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    I would definitely plan on the skyliner. Only concern would be the weather. We just got back yesterday and loved the skyliner - it makes travelling to Epcot and DHS so easy. There were a few times when we shot over to Epcot for an hour or two because it was so quick and easy. One night we...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    Today we walked into the Frozen show with no wait (arrived around 10:28 or 10:29 for the 10:30 show). We were in the back three rows of the theatre but had no complaints about the view.

    Everything Rope Drop

    I agree with your research but the only downside of TOT first is that it seems like it has more of a tendency to get up and running later than the other rides. I have seem multiple reports of people going to TOT at rope drop only to find that it is not running yet and then they are too late to...

    Open the park or close it?

    I think you typically can get a little more down at rope drop than park close, but it is close enough that you can make either strategy work so it just depends on your preference. For what it is worth, when my kids were about that age the taking a break at the resort and then heading back to...

    Everything Rope Drop

    I understand that Uber/Lyft drop offs at a resort require an ADR not Quick Service, but can you get dropped off at the Disney Boardwalk area (not the resort) without an ADR. For example, if I wanted to just go to the Boardwalk Bakery that opens at 7am and walk from there to DHS or Epcot, could...

    What are the crowds really like Mardi Gras week?

    It depends on when Mardi Gras falls. I don't think Mardi Gras itself has a really significant impact on crowd levels as only Louisiana and maybe a few cities in Texas or Mississippi actually close schools at that time. When it is the same week as Presidents Day or is later into March when some...

    "World Cup 2018" World Showcase News

    I am pretty sure that ESPN carried the World Cup in 2014. This year it is being shown on Fox. As a result, I think viewing parties at WDW are less likely this time around.

    Why Journey Into Imagination Should Close at EPCOT

    Same here. It certainly is disappointing compared to the previous version but to my kids this is the only version they know and they still love it and love figment.

    "Official" 2015 MNSSHP thread

    Tuesday was our first MNSSHP so I have no prior experience to compare it to but it was more crowded and more difficult to get things done than I expected. I knew certain characters would require a long wait to meet but it seemed like every character had a pretty long line. I was also shocked...

    Return Of The Ropes

    The difference between a rope drop in the park and just opening up and letting people in through the turnstiles is that the act of going through the turnstiles acts as a filter that naturally spreads out the crowds. It makes for a less condensed crowd in the park.

    What is your most embarrassing/funny Disney story?

    It has been a running joke between my wife and I that Jasmine is my favorite Disney character. Well when we were last at Epcot, I took my daughter to visit Alladin and Jasmine while my wife went off to get water or something. As Jasmine was signing my daugther's autograph book and me standing...

    Afraid September is going to be PACKED this year

    A few thoughts: 1 - I do not think most of the schools in Metro Atlanta have fall breaks at the end of Sept. I think Decatur has off the week of 9/14 and Cobb County has off the week of 9/21, but I do not think Atlanta Public schools, fulton county, gwinnett or dekalb have off in sept. 2 -...

    Airport Transportation Question

    Thanks Robo Sorry - I should have put that in there. Update: I will be driving down with the kids from Atlanta. My wife will fly down a day or so later. We will be at Universal at that point so she will take a taxi to our US hotel. We will all move from our Universal hotel to Port Orleans...

    Airport Transportation Question

    I have a question about the best way for my wife to get to the Orlando Airport. First, here is some quick background info. We are planning a Universal/Disney trip for September but my wife can only join us for part of our trip. I will be driving down with the kids from Atlanta. My wife will...

    A relaxing swim?

    We do not take an afternoon pool break every day but we do it occasionally. On our 1st trip we tried to force our kids to nap or at least rest in the room during afternoon breaks but they could not do it - they were just too excited and happy. And they kept my wife up who really wanted to nap...

    I'm so sick of seeing this!

    I've had a lot more success using the MDE app recently than using the web site.
