Staying at Caribe Royale, planning on renting from the Hertz desk at the hotel and taking cab to and from airport. Family of 4, four carry-ons. Have not stayed off-site before. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

No bag line?? I think this may be the kind of info I need to make up my mind. Do you split from regular line or what, this is all new to me.

First timer to Universal here. Need more insight as to how the whole locker thing works. Will it hold up the line? Is it difficult to get your stuff after ride? Are there enough lockers so that one is always available? I have always carried the "park bag" for the four of us with camera...

Am wondering if we should leave electronics like an ipad in the lockers inside a messenger bag. Would you recommend?

Hello DLR disboarders! I am in need of tips on viewing fireworks with minimal crowd crush and exasperating wait times. Not looking for prime location necessarily, just a spot or planning tip that can be helpful. For instance- restaurant patio site - any kind of reservations like the dessert F...

We loved it! Did several buffets our last trip and thought the food selection was great, second only to Grand Floridian buffet. The location is easy to get to from any of the lands, too. Wouldn't think twice about booking again. Enjoy!

I book early, but not if it will entail going back to make changes. From my experience, making changes can complicate things in ways one would never have imagined. Also, there is more to keep up with regarding possible fees, deadlines for changes, and time spent replanning when one change...

We've (family of 4) eaten at both several times, and love them both, but choose O'hana for atmosphere, large comfortable tables and a more overall Disney experience. Food and service can be hit or miss at both - trust me! Never had a real bad experience at either though, but Kona tends to be...

We have done late August several years and always do the F! package. It just makes sense for us, since we plan our meals and use table service locations anyway. All four in our family vote for Mama Melrose's, however they are harder to book, so count yourself among the lucky few if you can...

Need some help. We usually go to Disney World in August on Free Dining, but will be going to Disneyland next August. Do they have any August dining specials? We usually make reservations for most of our meals in Orlando, but it looks like there is a better assortment of Counter...

We've all encountered dirty public restrooms and such, and an occasional expedient change is certainly understandable. However, not everyone will be conscientious about it, using appropriate discretion and hygiene. Thus, rules. Upon reading, I see some discount entirely the idea of using the...

Cosmic Ray's has always been open late for EMH, but they change up I believe. Perhaps someone will come along with a better memory. I do remember getting a dole whip float during EMH last summer.

I'm going against the grain here, but we avoid rope drop at all costs. The crowds in the resort restaurants swell up, the bus lines grow longer, and the jam of people at the gates almost always means your toddler can't see the action. So you got up early and rushed to go through three big...

I would tell them about fastpass, and that is it. Just about everyone can take advantage of fastpass to make their trip better. However, I don't think knowledge of day planning, ADR's, or which rides in what order will help do anything but overload them and enlighten them to how much they may...

OMG! I was going to say Plaza, and coincidentally it happened exactly the same way for us. Rainstorm, window table and all - no kidding. We're even from Michigan, too.

We ate at both on last trip. We prefer GF cafe for lunch, but Kona wins for breakfast. The atmosphere at Kona is more congested and somewhat noisier. Our server at GF went "above and beyond", while Kona's just politely went through the paces. Food was good at both, but Kona's juices at...

We have been several times during free dining. We ate at all the places you listed except whispering canyon. Our average wait was 20 min. with ADR. There were a couple that took a little longer. Coral Reef was the longest for us. It took so long to get served after being seated, they offered us...

We have gone in Aug. the past several years. The heat will play a role for sure at their age. I love to plan in detail and think this would be a good idea for you considering the heat, free dining crowding restaurants, and limited time. My idea would be to combine MK and Epcot with a park...

We did deluxe plan last Aug. for our 3rd free dining trip as an upgrade. We loved it. We did 3 TS meals every day. A word of caution though, if your one who likes to park hop or go back to hotel for a swim it may be too much to fit in 3 TS. After several trips, I made it work for us but...

Bingo! Robin Williams. Have heard the Steve Martin rumors too, knew that would throw some off track. Not quite sure if Robin Williams really was a skipper, but he is the one I had in mind. I haven't heard it debunked.
