    Sofia the First AM wait times

    In August we were in line for Sofia about 15-20 minutes before her opening time and we were about the 10th family in line. We arrived, got a FP for TSM and had a quick breakfast and got on line. By the time we got to the front the line had grown significantly.

    Is MNSSHP too scary for a 6 year old?

    I agree, we have four children who have all been to the party since they were infants. They always have fun and haven't been scared. It is very light and child friendly. If your child was frightened by one aspect of the party you could just avoid that part and find something else to do also...

    Any reviews for Port Orleans Resort - Riverside?

    We stayed in AB at POR in August. We would not stay again but it really had nothing to do with the resort. It was pretty, quiet, and well kept. The food was good, we liked it although it felt like there weren't as many choices as other food courts. We liked the pasta station and the...

    Ever lost-or found-something valuable at WDW?

    My brother in law lost his iPhone on Space Mountain and found it later at the ride. On our last trip we found someone's Magic Band at the pool at POR and turned it in to the desk and found an expensive camera on a table in Epcot which we also turned into a cast member. The only thing we ever...

    We were there at the end of August and we did not see any Sofia dresses. I checked the store in DTD and we looked in MK as well. I have two girls who wanted them and I bought the dresses in sizes 2 and 4 at the Disney store before we left. They also had the crown and amulet at the local store...

    How flexible is BOG with kids?

    When we were there a few weeks ago the fruit cup was fresh fruit- grapes, pineapple, honeydew, and cantaloupe. We ate there twice and had no problem substituting fries fries for the kids meals and getting sauce and cheese on the side. I even substituted a side on my meal with no problem...

    We also ate their two times in our trip two weeks ago. Our kids really enjoyed the kids meals- steak, pasta with sauce, and meatloaf. We were also able to substitute sides for the kids in all their meals. My husband and I tried the French Onion soup, Potato Leek soup, and the mussels. We...

    Is missing Rope Drop a big deal?

    We did it for the first time a few weeks ago by accident. We finished Kona breakfast early and saw the show. It was crowded but not bad at all. We stood about 10 feet back from the arch that you walk under to enter Main St. The kids enjoyed it but we wouldn't rush to do it all the time. The...

    1st Birthday Trip

    We did Tusker House breakfast for my daughter's first birthday. She also liked Be Our Guest this time because there is so much to look at.

    Here now... is it just me or is it much busier than usual?

    I agree....we had to go this week due to work schedules for the fall and winter but felt that after analyzing the crowd predictions and other peoples observations that it would be manageable. We found it very crowded and while we had a blast it definitely affects the trip. We probably will try...

    We ate there last night for the first time. We really enjoyed it and will definitely go back each trip from now on. The food was really good- we loved the bread and salad- even my 2 and 4 year old gobbled them up. The fish was good- really we enjoyed everything. The service was good and the...

    We arrived at POR in August 20 and had no fridge in the room. We asked about it the front desk expecting them to say that there were none. They seemed surprised and immediately brought one to our room.
