    DLP March Break?

    Thank you! We decided we are either going to Europe next summer in late June/early July or late august. We haven’t 100% decided on Paris yet - it would be cool because our daughter is in French immersion and her French is great, and aside from Quebec trips, which are rare, she doesn’t hear it a...

    RP or aventura kids room?

    We are going to go with a 'regular' hotel room at Royal Pacific. Our flight arrives in Orlando at 10:30 am, so I think being able to quickly walk back and forth to the parks + city walk will be great, along with not having to wait long in lines. We only have 2-3 days at Universal, so want to...

    RP or aventura kids room?

    Thank you! I think since we are only there two nights it’s worth a try sleeping all in the same room to get the express pass. We want her to be able to sleep in the same room as her for when we start doing more serious travel anyway. And I totally have been judged on these boards for getting...

    RP or aventura kids room?

    We decided to break up our wdw trip to include 2 nights a UO. We are debating between booking a cheaper hotel with a separate sleeping area for the kiddo, or a regular hotel room at RP for the fast pass and quicker access. Any thoughts? Our daughter is 7 and a light sleeper, and we’ve always...

    DLP March Break?

    Oh okay thanks. We are usually second week of March for break. I didn’t think March break was a thing there (I thought it was a long Easter break) so maybe my idea isn’t so Smart!

    DLP March Break?

    What is DLP, and Paris, like over March break (i.e. North American march break) for weather and crowds? We have been debating DLP for awhile, but ended up doing Disney California last year and headed back to WDW this year. We want to do Europe next year with our kiddo as she'll be 8, but I don't...

    Splurge or save - studio or 1 bedroom

    that totally makes sense! our kiddo is a good eater and loves eating out, as so we, it's half the fun! we decided to stick to moderates and use the savings for bonus summer trips!

    Splurge or save - studio or 1 bedroom

    I don't feel good about that! Haha. We did that when we went when she turned 3, but now she requires so much food and I want a vacation from cooking. Breakfast is fine, that's it!

    It looks like $600, but I'm not sure that's official I really wanted Riv or GF and would do a studio at either, but they place I book from doesn't have any availability. I'm going to check around for others!

    I'd prefer to just stay put but the cost savings, plus prepping our daughter for a Europe trip next year (with moving hotels) wins out!

    Splurge or save - studio or 1 bedroom

    I totally appreciate that. We are a close family but with me being an only child, and my daughter, we need our space if only for self regulation!

    I use David's vacation club - mostly because they are local(ish) to me, and I've used them successfully for many trips. I just touched base and apparently I can request the cabins tomorrow, but they likely won't have any members with points for it (I don't understand, nor really need to, how it...

    Thanks for this! I'll take a look at what is available, but renting via DVC points seems to have less options (for the one I use anyway). We are firm on 7 nights only because the smaller airport by us goes Sunday - Sunday. We could change to Toronto airport if necessary, I just don't like the...

    Put non park day plans will depend on where we stay. We do want to have a relaxing vacation (as much as possible as Disney). So since Xmas decor will be up we want to go to WL, followed by hoop de doo qnd maybe a pre carriage ride to see decorations at ft wilderness (if they still do that). We...

    This is where I am stuck. I have no idea what she will do. She made long days happen in WDW (she didn't nap at 3) and went to bed at 7:30, but our recent trip to Disneyland she was done most days by 3pm. It was hot and busy though. I find I fall asleep around 9 on WDW trips - it's a struggle for...

    We are going to wdw first week of December - currently have POFQ booked. It's me, DH and dd who is 7, will be close to 8 upon arrival. Our last 5 trips have been via dvc points, with the last wdw trip (first one with our daughter) a 1 bedroom. We most recently went to Disneyland and stayed...

    Split stay CBR and AoA?

    Good to know! I'll take a quick look at it. That said, I've decide to work on my 'decision fatigue' this year and let others have control. It sounds like my husband and daughter decided on POFQ/AoA split!

    Split stay CBR and AoA?

    We normally do a DVC rental but I need more flexibility to modify or cancel this year as there has been some health issues with our parents and I've also started a new job and don't want to ask for time off yet (so basically I'm booking the rooms now and flights later). Otherwise, we would have...

    Split stay CBR and AoA?

    Thanks everyone. We did look into S/D, but it looks like they don't use WDW transportation anymore and I'm thinking that could be a nightmare. I'll look into it again. We do plan on spending a lot of time at Epcot. We got married there in 2010 - so this is kinda an early anniversary trip...
