    What time would you leave TL if you wanted to be back to the Poly by 2:00?

    We rode the buses to/from Blizzard Beach and the Polynesian on Saturday, June 17. Left the Poly after a late Ohana character breakfast so maybe about noon? Had to take the bus to Animal Kingdom then transfer to another bus to Blizzard Beach. I don't think direct transportation was offered to...

    Avatar Flight of Passage too scary for 4 year old?

    Recently at Disney World with my 10 year old daughter and her 9 year old friend. The 9 year old friend loved FOP but my daughter did not like it. My daughter loves Splash, likes Big Thunder Mountain, Space, and Everest. Has ridden but won't ride ToT again. Isn't fond of Haunted Mansion and...

    Old Key to the World Cards with Park Tix

    If they are on a key card you may have to wait to get to Disney to find out what is left. I had some old key cards from a free dining package that I recalled had a single day park entrance - purchase requirement for free dining and we used other tickets we had for that trip. There were no...

    Old Key to the World Cards with Park Tix

    If you want to know how many fun visits are left, you have to ask someone at Disney World.

    Old Key to the World Cards with Park Tix

    Try adding the ticket to your My Disney Experience and reserve Fast Passes. You will only be allowed to reserve Fast Passes for the number of days left on the ticket. And then cancel the reservations. We have days left on non-expiring tickets and when I look at the tickets on my computer, it...

    How bad is the wait time for Kilimanjaro Safaris around 8:00 pm?

    This past week we rode the safari late (around 10) and the ride was walk on. We had Fast passes but they were not needed. We noticed the Fast Pass line for Rivers of Light and lots of people were lined up. We had Fast Passes for Everest and after using them we were trying to figure out where to...

    TL or BB with 7yr old?

    Just took our 10 year old daughter and her 9 year old friend to Blizzard Beach. They have both been to both water parks before and they chose BB. We went to a character breakfast in the morning and didn't get to BB until about 1pm. It closed at 6p but I think that was plenty of time for us...

    Benefits of having an annual pass???

    Returned this week from a short trip. Convinced my sister to buy an annual pass. My 10 year old daughter wanted me to buy the Memory Maker since we have in the past. Since my sister owns DVC, I told her that with the discounted Gold Pass price for DVC members, if she went on two trips in the...

    Everything about PhotoPass and Memory Maker.

    Thank you! So if we go to Disney Springs on arrival day and sister buys the annual pass the next day when we go to a park, any photopass photos taken at Disney Springs or a resort before she buys the annual pass won't be able to be downloaded for free? Should we plan for her to buy the pass at...

    Everything about PhotoPass and Memory Maker.

    Read the first post and I want to clarify how I think memory maker with an annual pass will work in our particular situation. We have used the Memory Maker feature as a pre-buy option with multiple families on a previous trip. We recall having some trouble with all the photos showing up in...

    New Express Transportation: $19/day or $29/week-SERVICE ENDING AUGUST 23RD 2017

    Do you have to decide upfront whether you are going to purchase the single day or the week? Wondering if it is possible to buy the single day, then if we like it, pay the difference to upgrade to the week? I apologize if this has been answered. Haven't had the chance to read the entire thread...

    Can I use one ticket to make FP + reservations but gain entry by using another?

    Found my single day ticket! Whew! I asked on another thread whether the price I would be credited for would be the price paid for the ticket (back in I think 2009) or for what the value of a current single day ticket is today. Thank so much for letting us know about transferring Fastpasses. I...

    Upgrading a single day ticket

    I have an unused single day ticket on an old room key that was purchased as part of a package many years ago (think 2009?) as part of a free dining package. If I use that ticket and upgrade to a 3 day park hopper, will I be credited for whatever the 1 day admission cost at the time of purchase...

    Can I use one ticket to make FP + reservations but gain entry by using another?

    OK, thanks! Well, first I need to find that one day ticket I was thinking of upgrading. Or just breaking down and buy a 3 day hopper ahead of time. Originally we were just going to take an unplanned "cheap" trip with unused water park options and spend one day in the parks (what I have left on...

    Can I use one ticket to make FP + reservations but gain entry by using another?

    On our last trip in 2015 we used my sister's FP + ressies on our last day in the park. My sister did not go to the park and didn't use that last day of admission on her expiring ticket and no one else used it for admission and we used our own expiring tickets. We wondered if we could use her...

    Can I use one ticket to make FP + reservations but gain entry by using another?

    I didn't find the answer doing a quick search so my apologies if this is posted elsewhere. In about a month , we are possibly going for a short stay, no more than 3 days in the parks. We are a family that liked buying non-expiring multi-day hoppers and using them over multiple trips. My daughter...

    Cheaptickets 20% on some Disney Resorts

    Searching for June rates using the 16% off code. Not all the hotels seem to add an "Extra Guest Fee" but when I pull up rates for Pop Century, it is adding an extra guest fee of $37.33 per night for a 10 year old child. When I search using 1 adult, I don't get that fee. Shouldn't there only be...

    DLHotel to ONT vs SNA or LAX

    I was trying to avoid LAX as well but my son wants to get back home in time for his evening summer high school band practice and there are so many more flight times/choices flying out of LAX. So while I haven't booked yet, I've pinpointed flights out of LAX that arrive home before 6pm. The...

    Hyatt Place or Days Inn?

    We're familiar with the Hyatt Place room layout since we stayed at one about 3 years ago in another location. At that location or maybe at that time, I don't recall any hot items at the breakfast but I do remember everything being fresh and the decor was very nice. As a family of 5 who can't fit...

    Hyatt Place or Days Inn?

    So happy to hear that. I think my daughter can handle a two minute walk no matter how tired she is. So the parking shuttles to/from the Toy Story lot are pretty frequent? We will likely be able to walk the full 10 to 15 minutes, at least going TO the park. At the end of the park day, not so...
