Given my experience, March will definitely have higher crowds, but more pleasant weather. In addition March has Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot which I have always loved exploring. June will be less crowded but could be quite hot and humid. I was there June 9-14 last year and even the locals...

I would second the Camp Minni Mickey greeting trails at AK. In October when I was there, no one was around. I think there might have been one person in front of me for each character. In addition there were other characters walking around the area like Baloo and Thumper. Even the day after...

I have had no trouble dining solo, but then again I do it all the time at home as well. I too was a little concerned a little before my first solo trip last spring, but it was great. I was even able to switch around some ADRs or eat early even though it was in the heart of March Spring Break...

Well, if you can find a good CM, they should have a very extensive times guide on them. The times for PUSH should be listed in their guide. All CMs are supposed to pick one up (i think they come out each morning for them) so they can answer guest questions. These are specifically for the CMs and...

I can understand being a little bummed about Fantasyland not being in its most operational state, however, for some perspective I can offer this. My grandparents took my brother, cousin and me to Disneyland in 1981. Two years later the whole family went to LA to visit my uncle and we also...

I was staying at POR this past March and watched Wishes from the Poly beach while enjoying an adult beverage. I took the boat from Poly to MK and then bus from there. March this past year was pretty cool, to downright chilly at night. Taking either the Poly boat or DTD boat might be a bit...

I think a lot of the preference for the parades has to be what you are accustomed to. My first Disney theme park experiences were when my grandparents flew us out to visit my uncle in Los Angeles. I remember staying for the fireworks and parade as a 7 and 9 year old. On my first couple visits...

I went on the KTTK tour in March this past year and it was great. Our guide, Scott, took us in Pirates and Haunted Mansion. I asked him about the tour and whether the tour changes depending on who gives it. He said it definitely does. He was a CM at both Pirates and HM in his career and has a...

After the Amuse-Bouche came the first of the three bread servings: This was a french roll with a perfectly flaky crust and nice body on the inside. I don't remember anything particularly special about the butter served with this other than I loved it :) Next up was the first appetizer...

Once again your photos are amazing. And I understand the desire to return to V & A multiple times. I leave for WDW in two days and I'm having a seriously difficult time not calling and checking on availability at V & A. I really wanted this to be a very inexpensive trip, but it is taking all my...

Ok, sorry for the posting snafu :) Anyway, I was hemming and hawing whether to get the wine pairing or not. I finally decided lets just go all out and do it. Nothing better than having wine specifically paired with each course. For the initial course, the Amuse-Bouche, I was served a glass of...

Ok, back to the show :) I will work to get V & A done before I leave on Wednesday for my summer trip. So when I left off I had a light lunch of a salad to leave room for this wonderful meal. I left the park around 2:30 so I could go back to the room and change into my evening attire. I'm...

Hello, I have a trip coming up this month from the 9th to the 14th. I was thinking of visiting a water park in the afternoon on either the 9th or 10th (so not a weekend day). Do the crowds at the water parks die down a bit after 1 or 2pm? Is this a good plan if not spending a whole day at...

After a morning wandering around the Magic Kingdom, including a nice meeting with PUSH, lunch time was rapidly approaching. I had to make a decision of whether to keep my noon ADR at the Wave at the Contemporary or finding something smaller in the park. The major factor I was weighing was that...

Enough flood craziness, let's get back to some reviews :) After spending the bulk of the day at DHS I went back to POR to relax a bit and freshen up. I went back to DHS to use up a final Tower of Terror FASTpass I had been hoarding and then took a leisurely walk to the Boardwalk. My colleague...

Hi Godnana, Thanks for the well wishes. First, the grads did great on the trip, but there was definitely nothing relaxing about the trip for me :) I did have lunch at Sanaa and will definitely be looking to return there in the future. Second, I live in the Bellevue area of Nashville that was...

Thanks for following along. Hope to have a few more up shortly. :thumbsup2

Thanks for following along. I'm glad you are enjoying the reviews. Hope you get all the ADRs you hope for in July :)

Thanks for following along. Hope to get a few more reviews up shortly. I'm glad you like the photos, it's one of my hobbies. As to how I got the fireworks shot I posted I think its a mixture of a few things. First, I have been taking photos for a number of years so experience definitely...

Ok, better get back to this report or I will still be working on it in June. And I would actually like to be completed by the time the Grad Nite trip comes around, which is under 3 weeks. Seems almost crazy that I will be back at the World that quickly. After an amazing dinner at Jiko the day...
