    Best mode of transportation for getting to HS early

    We used this strategy on Sunday. We had an early breakfast at Trattoria at Boardwalk, then walked to HS. We didn’t get there until about 8:40, but were in the first two dozen groups at the temperature check tent. The line built steadily behind us. The first groups off the Skyliner beat the cars...

    Best mode of transportation for getting to HS early

    I'm wondering what my best bet is for getting to Hollywood Studios early enough to try to get through MMRR by 10 to try to get a ROTR boarding group (and before the line is completely nuts). We will have a car, so had planned to drive everywhere but MK just to avoid buses, but I know they're...

    Flight of Passage, okay for a 6 year old?

    My 6-year-old loves roller coasters (Space Mountain was her favorite), but she freaked out at FOP last week and we had to go out the chicken exit. I will say, she doesn’t like Soarin (she tends to get motion sickness), but what really did it, I think, was all the buildup. The preshow stuff just...

    Getting to MK during half marathon

    We just added a day to our January trip, and I’d like to end the week at MK. That would put us there on Saturday of Marathon weekend. How difficult will it be to get there that morning via bus from the Boardwalk?

    Unused days on tickets from 1995

    My parents recently found some old park-hopper tickets with unused days on them from 1995. Two have one day left on them, one has two days and one has three days left. They gave them to me, and I plan to take them with us on our next trip to have them converted to use in the future. However, I...

    Epcot to Boardwalk Area

    The new Ample Hills Creamery is worth the walk over. It was so good.

    No more dancing at Disney Junior meals at Hollywood and Vine

    We had breakfast at Hollywood and Vine on June 6. My 4-year-old told our waitress she was excited to dance with the characters. The waitress responded that it was a good thing we were there then, because it was the last week for the little dances with the characters. She said too many people had...

    Magic Kingdom opening hours extended for selected dates in June

    Thanks for posting! We got here today and two of those are our MK days. We had a lot of success with 8 a.m. openings in December. Hopefully we'll have the same experience this week.

    Would I be silly to cancel Pirates & Pals Cruise on 7/3?

    We did Pirates and Pals a year ago and it was a huge highlight for my kids. It ought to be very special with those fireworks too. I think I'd be willing to pay a premium to see them in such a pleasant atmosphere. If the money is not an issue, I doubt you will regret the experience.

    Nemo closed in June?

    I think they're shuffling AK show times with the hours changing. My FOTLK FP was changed to one for Nemo, and when I looked, FOTLK was scheduled for later in the day than it had been. My FP was earlier.

    Official Frozen at WDW Thread (Updated May 20th) FEA and RS Open June 21

    Thanks for posting. I grabbed one for them and one for Cinderella and Rapunzel. I'm pretty bummed now, though, since we leave on the 10th. I guess we'll have to cross our fingers that the ride is maybe soft opening before then.

    Garden Grill Breakfast and Soarin' RD Advantage?

    We did an 8 a.m. breakfast at GG in December. The goal was not to get to Soarin' early, because we had a FP for later. But we ate our fill and met all the characters multiple times and were done by about 8:45. We were able to ride Soarin' once before the park opened.

    Soarin' w/ small children

    My older daughter, who hates roller coasters and won't ride the mine train, loves Soarin and has from as soon as she could ride it. It's one of her favorites. My younger one, who was newly 4 on our last trip, loves roller coasters and is a huge daredevil. She hated it and refuses to ride it...

    First of June vacation, Does anyone else feel cheated?

    I hope we can meet Olaf, because my girls want to do that too. But the reason we can't get Fastpass in MK isn't because they're all out, but because they were never available, I would assume because they're moving to Epcot. But if they know what date that is happening, I wish they would tell us...

    First of June vacation, Does anyone else feel cheated?

    I can live without Soarin. We weren't expecting to see it anyway, so it's fine. I'm not worried about Star Wars fireworks. But I am extremely frustrated that they won't give us a daggone date for the Frozen stuff. I have two little girls who want to meet Anna and Elsa, I can't get Fastpasses at...

    Question for those traveling late May thru mid-June

    We are going the first week of June, and I have found this trip to be probably the most frustrating to plan of all the trips we've taken. I want to be able to make my FP reservations at 60 days out and, other than maybe some minor changes to FP or dining reservations, have things be pretty much...

    Anyone meet Joy and Sadenss yet?

    On our last trip, we had an 8 am ADR at Garden Grill. We were done in time to ride Soarin' before the park opened, and then we met Baymax a few minutes after the park opened with a short line. I would bet if you left and headed straight for Character Spot, you'd be some of the first people in line.

    Will I regret never doing BBB with DD?

    We have two little girls who will be 8 and 4 on our next trip. They've each been at least once a year and we've never done it. Unless they change the hairstyles, we never will. It's expensive and the hairstyles look painful to me. My 4-year-old doesn't like sitting still to have her hair fixed...

    Family Magic Tour and Winnie the Pooh ride

    Has anyone done the Family Magic Tour recently and ridden something other than Winnie the Pooh? We're doing the tour and I'm trying to plan our Fastpasses for the rest of the day. Thanks!
