We were in the villas facing PP last June and I did notice the noise from Goofy's sky school, but World of Color is even louder (but so cool to watch from your balcony!). Windows are pretty sound proof so you should be fine. The views are amazing and worth a little extra noise. Plus, I love...

Do you have magic morning? We were at DCA last Christmas week and styled offsite. Strategy was we went to Magic Morning. I waited in the Fastpass line while husband and kids got in line for the ride. FP line was about 30min, then I went to the ride and told the CM my family was in line. They...

:( will have to try Haagen Das is DDD..

Bring rain gear. Last year it rained most of the week but we all had comfy snow boots and jackets/ponchos so we didn't mind it a bit! We rode more water rides that trip than ever! Plan to be there before rope drop, make some ADRs if there are places you want to eat ( we love Cafe Orleans, they...

My husband and I are thinking of a last minute trip to DL in Oct or Nov for our anniversary. Would live to surprise him with a Chefs Counter ressie. What are my chances?

We've requested specific villa numbers and never been disappointed. Goofy's Sky School (yes you are that close) and World of Color (we could feel the fire heat from our balcony) can be loud so keep that in mind. Good luck!

Many people on cruises book rooms for the day to get access to Atlantis water park. I don't see an issue with this, you are paying for the room. I'd let the front desk know you will be using the room during the say but will be sleeping elsewhere. Is there a policy I'm not aware of? Would be...

So wonderful that you are planning this for her. Be sure to make a 'What does Grandma want to do' list to ensure that you get a few of her wishes in. Sometimes what we think our family wants to do isn't. She might want to go to a character breakfast to see the kids interact, or just sit on...

We ate Christmas Lunch/Dinner at Carthay last year and my birthday dinner at Napa Rose. Carthay: It was raining, none of us really liked our food all that much (DH and 9 DD, 7 DS). Service was ok. But, overall, it was still a great experience dining in the theater in DCA. Saw World of...

For best results request specific room numbers. I usually put my top 4 or 5 in my request. This seems to work well as there aren't that many rooms and the CMs aren't that familiar with the views of that wing Enjoy, you will LOVE the villas!

We'll be staying in a 2BR suite at the Grand California villas (VGC) from 12/7-14 with another family. 2 adult and 4 kids. Can't wait!

My actual birthday was the 2nd day of our trip. I wore my button the day before, day of, and the day after. That was plenty for me, but a CM said some folks wear it for the entire month! Everywhere I went I had CMs as well as regular park goers call out 'Happy Birthday Kim'! It was getting...

We were there the first week of June. With EMH, we were able to get a fastpass in the morning (for a late morning return), then come back and get another set of fastpasses for later in the evening. You just have to follow the general rules printed on the fastpass, stating you can't get another...

Goofy's Sky School is a loud ride. We were in 5508 a few weeks ago which is closer to the GV, but could still hear the Goofy screams. I'm sure if you are in a lower villa right in front it is very loud. Kids seem to love it. My DD(9) and DS(7) rode it 20 times in a row one morning. They...

We've taken Supershuttle once (one happened to be leaving as we walked out to the shuttle area) and Disneyland Express twice (once we prebooked to get a discount, the second time we used coupons at the stand). Last week when we were at VGC we took a cab. I had priced it on Yellow Cab's site...

I've had good luck adding nights onto my 11mo ressie at 7mo using my SSR points. I just did that with a Dec trip and had to waitlist, but it came through the next day. Good luck. May and Oct are the best times to be at the resort and at DL! We just got back from a stay there last week, loved...

I had my first introduction to DIS style vacation planning when we went to Disney 7 yrs ago with another family. The wife handed me a laminated daily plan and had made matching shirts for the kids. At first I thought she was a bit manic, but I of course copied her plan for our next trip! We...

We used this perk a few years ago and it was great! I think there was only one or two other families with us, such a more relaxed Build A Bear experience! I'm sure the DVC discount works then, but it was a few years ago so I can't remember exactly. I've enjoyed all the guest perks we've...

I think this is where they are going with My Disney Experience which will eventually be at DL. You get three fast passes that you reserve ahead of time. You can change times up to the last minute if needed.

Buffalo Chicken sandwich with grilled onions and blue cheese Greek yoghurt sauce. Oh. And a Blue Moon.
