    Help me find 2 more TS to maximize the dining plan...

    Raglan Road. Excellent service and great atmosphere for kids and adults. If you do at the right time they can see the dancing. Do though, if your kids do well in restaurants ask to NOT be placed in the kids dining area. That happened to us last year and I didn't realize it till we were seated...

    Haunted Mansion with a really timid kid?

    My son, now 10 1/2 can't handle the stretching room either. Honestly I wouldn't even show the you tube video unless they ask. They are not missing anything by not going on it.

    I saw the option to customize our MB after logging onto our Disney Experience. We have reservations through rented points at Kidani. Hope that helps. We received the invite in the mail after our bands showed up.

    Getting walk-in reservations?

    If your accustomed to driving and have a plan of getting some sleep and leaving really early, it sounds like you would be fine. We drive from the Detroit metro area down with only bathroom/running around stops and make it in about 19-20 hours (2 adults, 2 boys 10 and 8). I agree on booking...

    Children's Meal Portions - any advice for me?

    I upgraded my then 8 year (2 years ago) to adult while on free dining, he is extremely active and has a more mature tastes. It was the best $40 I spent. The children's meals are not enough food for him. Now my other son who is two years younger can still do kids meals at DW ( I hope ;) ). We...

    Walking times at AKL Kadani

    I think it depends on the people. My family (2 adults age 40 and 2 kids 8 and 10) don't find it a long walk at all, 7-8 minutes is not long. Now I know my in' laws who are in their 70's, overweight and with bad knees would find it too far and want to drive. It's all relative...if your...

    Would your family do this?

    No we would not stay in a value over a deluxe. My kids don't care for the look of the value resorts and have never asked to stay in one. But that's my family. Everyone is different and that's okay.

    Pixie Dust

    I also understand the worry. The last two years we've had the talk with both our sons, ages 10 and 8. They have been very fortunate with all the pixie dust they receive, trip after trip. My oldest as been fortunate to ride Dumbo with Stitch twice and Peter Pan on the carousel all in one trip...

    Boma or Yak and Yeti

    Putting them together for a poll doesn't really work out. ;). We enjoy both for different dining options and I truly don't think you can compare them. So if you were to put Boma with a different buffet, I would pick Boma. If you were to put Yak and Yeti with a different regular TS option...
