I haven't been to universal for almost 30 years. My daughter is graduating high school and we are planning one big trip to Orlando (Disney mostly) this June. My mom and 4 of my kids are flying in on monday. My wife and I and 5 kids are driving in probably the thurs/fri before. While my mom is...

I'm not sure how I would handle the Goofy let alone Dopey but I have it on my goal sheet. Its kind of a long way off. I think atmosphere and excitement of being in Disney would make it worth it. We'll see where I am come registration time next year and see what I'm feeling like. I'm nervous...

I believe the longest you can start making reservation is 500 days and that is room only. You make reservations for your stay and you pay at least one night as a deposit. Then when the packages are released you call them up and tell them you want it switched from room only to a package. You...

Free dining is not available past June second (until you hit fall). So early June would not be an option for free dining.

I think they start like 45-60 min before park opens. Last year b/4 starwars we were waiting for it on an EMH day and I think they were just running behind that we decided to walk. Of course by the time we got to the bridge going to the BW from YC we could see the boats headed to the location. We...

I agree. If you have it documented I think they will honor it. I'm sure it's a case by case thing. It also helps you aren't going during a peak time like Christmas. One thing we did was cancel our meal plan to pay off our trip to avoid using a credit card and a few weeks later we called and...

Welcome. This site is full of helpful tips. You can do some looking around, or if you have something more specific you can do a search. I can't imagine there isn't an answer on here to any of your questions. They have lots of topics on helpful tips in the summer. My main one would be try to keep...

We stayed in the YC w/one pack and play and our dbl bob stroller and we had some room, but not alot in the entrance area to our room. You should be able to stay since they consider the infants. But they are building the art of animation resort which sounds like it will mostly be suites like the...

If you want a fast pass out the machine then that park ticket has to be used to enter the park for the day. Our kids were at the pirate adventure at the GF and did not enter the park in the morning and we tried to get some FP for later in the day and it wouldn't work b/c they weren't in the...

Welcome! We made our first trip last year and our little ones 2.5 and 8 mo. did fine. I think the little one was too young to really know any different, and the older one had seen mickey and the others on tv numerous times b/c the older kids enjoy the disney channel. We never had a meal w/mickey...

I used some applications for my iphone while we there last june from upinpoint.com They have gps positioning that will show where you are on the map and they now have added wait times, but you have to be in the park to see and/or update them so I don't know how that works. I think they were...

My mom has stayed at the Poly and GF club levels and enjoyed them both. She did favor the Poly but only because she liked the atmosphere of the resort. We visited her at the GF and it was a seperate building so your keycard allowed you entrance to the building. I didn't think that the room was...

I can't remember the names of the DTD ones. I looked a couple months ago on hotels.com and they had some really good rates at the time. One benefit of Disney offering great deals is the other hotels in return offer great deals to try and match Disneys. You may be able to find a buy 2 nights get...

They had only 9 complaints. How many comments were made? thousands? If attendance is down during slow times ... I think its possible but if its over the summer ... you could wait a little longer if the bus ends up full but not because there are cutbacks.

We stayed at the YC june of last year and we only shared a bus with BC. There were some more stops coming back from AK and DTD but I didn't mind. After staying at a deluxe and experiencing all the transportation options it would be hard not to stay there again, atleast with the little ones. I...

They will release the package rates usually at the end of July. You can book room only 500 days out and then call once the package details are released and change whatever you need to. If you book a package your payment is due 45 days out but you will need min deposit of 200. We booked a nov...

We used KNO in June of 09 for a 2yo and 7mo. She seemed to do a great job. She had coloring activities and I think brought a dvd player as they just stayed in room. The kids were in their pj's and asleep when we got back to the room. It was from maybe 6pm to almost midnight. I looked her up on...

The pin I got was buy 3 nights at a deluxe w/park tickets get a 4th night free plus a 300$ gift card. The dates were late august thru I think mid November. But it expires in about 2 weeks. It said to call to receive moderate or value offers.

It all looks very cool and lots of fun. I'm excited and I'm not even going.
