    The absolute least crowded time to go.

    I second whoever said the second week of November. It was the best trip we've ever had. The crowds were manageable but better, the weather was INCREDIBLE.

    Advice for my teen daughter for orchestra trip

    My apologies if this has been asked. I looked through the FP+ FAQs and didn't see anything. We have been to Disney World many times and my daughter most decidedly knows her way around the parks - but she will be traveling with her school orchestra instead of us this time. She was asking me...

    Any Reformed FP- Uber Users Who Have Embraced FP+ ?

    I still don't love FP+, but these are some things I found to be true. 1. If you aren't going at the very busiest times and you get there early, plan your first fast passes for mid-morning edging to early afternoon. Unless you are doing 7dmt, the rides won't be busy enough to need them later...

    How Bad Is August?

    The humidity is what gets you in August. I was wet all day. Literally the minute you start sweating, you just stay damp for the entire day because it doesn't have a chance to evaporate. I won't say I didn't have a good time. I ALWAYS have a good time at WDW. But being soggy for 12 hours is so...

    IS the heat last week of August completely unmanageable?

    I agree with others. The heavy, damp air is what makes it so uncomfortable. If it rains, which it often does, you can forget about drying off. There is so much moisture in the air, nothing evaporates. Same thing with sweat. I've still had fun at this time of year, but I have to say that...

    Had to book Royal Caribbean...DCL too exoensive!!!

    We are in the exact same boat. I LOVED our Disney cruise. I really did and I would love to go back...but I cannot justify the cost. I can't believe I have to say this, but Disney is too expensive for us. I will be booking NCL for next summer and when we do Alaska it'll be on RCCL. I'm sure it...

    Throwaway room (read post #2041 or #2710 before posting)

    A good level-headed response. FWIW, I wouldn't book a campsite out from under somebody else if I wasn't going to use it. But I can't see people throwing around words like "unethical" and "not moral" when that is patently untrue. Inconsiderate? Perhaps. Annoying? Probably. Immoral? Definitely...

    Could someone explain Epcot to me. 2 visits and I don't get it at all

    This is the beauty of WDW to me. Every park strikes a slightly chord for people. Don't worry if you don't love it. I don't love Animal Kingdom because I think that particular park is severely lacking in theming. Also there are only 2 attractions I really like there. Epcot is my favorite...

    How is fp+ affecting stand by lines?

    I agree. We were there around the same time. I encountered lines at unexpected attractions. Of course I also practically walked onto BTMRR and the posted wait time was 30 minutes. :confused3 Whoever said it's a crapshoot was right. FP+ has lead to quite a shake-up. Speaking of which, how...

    How is fp+ affecting stand by lines?

    I didn't read all of the copy...just looked at the charts. Nice to know I'm not a complete moron. :) Having skimmed it now though, one thing I did not expect (but should have) was that the wait times for some of the headliners would actually go down. Makes sense though. If secondary ride wait...

    How is fp+ affecting stand by lines?

    Without any corroborating evidence except my own observations, I figured the following would happen: First, because there is only one FP per day allowed per attraction, fewer people would ride the headliners multiple times, thereby diverting traffic to secondary rides. Second, because...

    How is fp+ affecting stand by lines?

    That is VERY interesting. Thanks for sharing.

    Throwaway room (read post #2041 or #2710 before posting)

    There is nothing unethical or even morally questionable about booking a throw-away room/campsite. I equate it most closely with people who book 2 seats on an airplane because they like to "stretch out". Is this annoying at times? could be if the flight is sold out. But there is a BIG...

    Frozen paid for FP+, it deserves a FP+!

    I can't believe Transformers made the list. That is a HORRIBLE movie. :rolleyes2

    Why the crowds?

    My family went the last Saturday and Sunday of president's week and the following Monday. What we expected: To have the parks so crowded on Saturday that we couldn't move, a little better on Sunday and walk-on on Monday. What actually happened: Saturday at Epcot was darn near deserted...

    Are we the only ones not into characters?

    Nobody in my family is really interested in characters. We did it when the kids were small (like 3 and 5) but they were never that into it, even then. A couple of weeks ago, we had their picture taken with Stitch, but that's only because he was standing in MK with literally nobody in line...

    Does anyone actually LIKE fastpass +

    I don't dislike the IDEA of it. Having one's FPs on a wrist band is an idea I can get behind...even with Big Brother watching. It's the implementation that's been awful with the piece of garbage that is My Disney Experience taking the cake for worst Disney roll-out ever. The website is...

    Anna from Frozen

    Yep, that's what I thought. Five hours boggles the mind.
