    Disney Trip Christmas Surprise?!?

    We leave on 12/14 and return 12/25. We never tell our girls (6, 4, 3, and 18mo) ahead of time. I can't stand days of questions like "How many more days?" On 12/14 we'll put them in the car at 4am, drive to the airport. Once there the conversation will go something like this: Girls: Are we...

    So got an ADR for Cape May breakfast...

    Isn't there a character meal bus that runs from 6:30 am till about 9:00? We've never done Cape May buy I thought I remembered seeing a character breakfast bus for places like Grand Floridian and Contemporary. Wouldn't there be something similar to that for Cape May?

    3 & 5 @ Epcot. Skip it or See it?

    We've been every year since our oldest was 7 moths old (now 6, 4, 3, and 18 mo) and we always spend two days at Epcot. The way I see it, our kids love doing anything outside the house like a trip to the mall, museums, etc... so they'll enjoy Epcot, even the "boring" parts. I've been proven right...

    Christmas Parade

    Does anyone know when they usually update the calendar? This is really bothering me, especially now that MVMCP on the 18th is sold out.

    Frustrated with DD's teacher

    Reading all this talk about homework, enrichment classes, reading logs, grade point averages, etc... for 8 year olds :scared1: has my head spinning. I have 4 girls, the oldest is 6 and in the first grade so I admit I have no experience here but if my daughter has to do all that I've read on this...

    Can your kids make it a whole day at a theme park?

    Our girls are 6, 4, 3, and 18 months. We've been every December the past 4 years and have never gone back to the room mid-day. Here's why that works for us: Always on dining plan, deluxe when its free dining. Always breakfast before park opens Often late lunch or early dinner/BBQ or early...

    Driving from Dallas - Should We Tell the Kids?

    Should we tell our kids we're driving to Disney World next month now? Background: We've been to DW in December every year for the past 4 years. Each year we don't tell our girls (6, 4, 3, & 18 mo) until we get to the airport that we are going to Disney World. We do this for a few reasons...

    Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade after MVMCP

    I appreciate the reassurance. What about the fireworks? Do they have the same ones as MVMCP? Not a big deal to us but we're curious.

    Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade after MVMCP

    I can't find anything definitive but I found this link that got me wondering: http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions/Mickeys-Once-Upon-a-Christmastime-Parade.htm Then I noticed it's not on the Disney Calendar. For example 12/22 has the Celebraste a Dream Come True Parade...

    Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade after MVMCP

    In the past Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade was part of MVMCP and after the parties it replaced the regular parade at MK through 12/31. Did they make a change this year?

    FASTPASS Before Arriving

    I wish Disney had another option to their survey, "I think this is a horrible idea." I answered "Definitely would" but that's only because if they offered it, I'd have to do it. It's like dining reservations. I would much rather not plan ANY reservations and be guaranteed a table anywhere we...

    FASTPASS Before Arriving

    Now I see what they're getting at: Which of the following best describes what you would do if you could secure Disney FASTPASS® experiences before arriving at the Parks? -First I would secure MOST or ALL of my Disney FASTPASSES and then I would plan my Disney dining around the FASTPASS...

    FASTPASS Before Arriving

    The next question in the survey is: Assuming you could secure Disney FASTPASS experiences as early as 90 days before arriving at the Disney Parks, when should Disney allow guests to begin booking dining reservations? 90 days before arriving 180 days before arriving No Preference...

    Poly CL or Cabin - 4 kids 5 and under

    Good point. We're dreading the day we can't stay in a Deluxe. I'm also thinking an ECV would be easier at Poly than the Cabins IF my leg acts up and I have to take it easy. I'm in good health but it was a major break (still on crutches after 3 months) so who knows what will happen. On...

    Poly CL or Cabin - 4 kids 5 and under

    Great advise! We wanted to stay BLT last year but I completely forgot about it this year. One point of clarification, it's not that money's no object, it's that our 40% off rate at Poly is within our budget. The Cabin will save us money but it's not a deciding factor. The past few times I...

    Poly CL or Cabin - 4 kids 5 and under

    Trying to decide between our current reservation, Club Level at Poly or a Cabin at FW for our trip this December. Our girls will be 5, 3, 2, and 6 mo. It's not a financial issue, just trying to decide what will be easier logistically for our family. My wife and I are excited about the Cabin...

    Do you have a special picture that you always take in the parks?

    We take a picture every year behind the Contemporary Resort. There's a large, modern looking Mickey with a camera stand about 15 feet in front of it so you can set the timer on your camera and get the whole family. We've taken a picture there every visit.

    Six nights in a hotel room. Am I crazy?

    We stayed Poly CL last Dec with 3 girls (4, 2.5, and 1) for 7 nights and it was great. This December we're doing it again with our newest addition (another girl so they'll be 5, 3.5, 2, 6 mo). We are using a 40% bounce back for CL otherwise we'd stay in a regular room. We use the club as...
