Thank you everyone for all the advice and encouragement ❤❤. My husband saw the orthopedist yesterday and we are confirmed for the trip. He is ok to drive on it so that helps. He ordered a knee scooter (the one with the big tires) but we will also be renting an ecv. We reserved one of the...

Just wanted to offer sympathy... I'm here reading because my husband broke his foot this weekend and our trip is 9 days away. We are waiting for his orthopedist visit this week but are hoping we can still go.

We are 9 days out from a 12 night reservation at the Fort. It has been two years and we wre so excited. But Sat afternoon my husband broke his foot. We are still in shock and trying to figure out if this is even possible. We pull a pop up with a suburban. I think I can get it set up with...

I second the macaron ice cream sandwich. Although the bakery treats in France are special too. We sometimes get those to go before camping out for illuminations. I also like the sleepy hollow ice cream sandwich. (My kids liked the nutella waffle) My husband loves the caramels and caramel...

It definitely depends on the kids. My kids are pretty adventurous and would taste lots of things. One thing we found as while we were happy eating around the festival and calling it "lunch" or "dinner" my kids viewed it as snacking. They got super grumpy until we realized they needed...

Definitely agree about critters. I had squirrels chew through my handmade stroller bags (two layers of canvas) to get to snacks that were in the packaging inside. It happened while it was parked outside the camper during rest time in the middle of the day!

My husband and I once wanted illuminations at 9, raced to the monorail, caught it, made the transfer and made it to main St just as wishes started at 10. We were young (no kids yet) and the Disney transportation gods were smiling on us that night. Normally I would expect it to take longer!

We do this but organize it to balance my need to plan with my husband's need for a more laid back vacation. I get my touring plan packed morning and in the evening we are more relaxed. I might have some ideas of what to do but we go slower, stopping for more little things (kids want to watch...

Hoop Dee doo, biergarten, and breakfast at trails end are usually every trip. As my youngest will be 3 next trip, we are looking to do less all you can eat because with all 3 at children's price it will cost a lot for what they eat. Hoping we can find some new favorites next trip! We will...

When we only had one kid (she was 19 months), we would use stroller during the day and if we went back to the park in the evening we just used the ergo and a back pack. It was great. One evening it was drizzling and my husband just widened the neck of a disposable poncho so her head stuck out...

It has been a year but i loved the caprese sandwich with chips (they were housemade). We enjoyed walking back and forth between the resorts too!

We booked a one night Art of Animation stay a few years ago before our longer stay at Fort wilderness. We had booked a little mermaid room from a discount site and thought the kids (who were 5 and almost 2) would enjoy the theming. At check in, the cast member started asking my 5 year old if...

That said, if we have a day without park tickets, we sometimes ride the boat for fun. And if you happen to catch the fireworks on the boat ride "home" in the evening it is really magical!

The boat rides are usually pleasant. The larger boats to the mk will let you wheel your strollers on usually. For smaller boats like those the contemporary (you can take this one then walk to the mk) and the buses, you need to collapse the stroller and carry it on. This can be overwhelming if...

I love the fireworks from the beach near trails end. They pipe in the music. Instead of being cooped up in the crowd, kids can play in the sand. It isn't a perfect view. I wouldn't pick it for my one time seeing the fireworks but it is a fun relaxing place to watch. You can also see the...

The fort wilderness stores usually have lots of chip and Dale stuff!

We try to bring things that balance fun with healthy. We avoid a lot of processed food at home and I learned early that if we take a 10 day trip and let the kids eat all sorts of things they aren't use to, they end up feeling awful. (Yes my toddler was projectile vomiting while my husband was...

A monorail/tour of the magic kingdom resorts (and their lounges) can be a fun adult thing to do. You can aim to catch the fireworks or electrical water pagent from one of the beaches.

It isn't worth it for us. We pick other things to splurge on. If it doesn't feel right to you, don't do it!

I would honestly never surprise my kids. They would not enjoy it. They love being part of planning and counting down. I know lots of kids would be excited by the surprise. It just wouldn't work for us. If I was surprising them, I would do it by giving them a countdown a month or so out so...
