Thanks for the responses. It is nice to get others perspective. My sense is that I'll at least hit Downtown Disney and gift shopping will definitely soften the blow.

Our family was able to take a number of trips to Disney World a few years back, but due to increased home expenses it has not been possible for us to go back since 2012. I have a work convention in Orlando(at Universal) at the end of the month and there is a large gap in time between when my...

Absolutely worth it. The pre-cruise party at CR is a great time. Afterward, we were on a boat with Patch and he was great. The view of the fireworks was neat as it was a totally different perspective. Our kids were 9 and 11 when we did it and they loved it. Not as private as renting a boat on...

Disney has been excellent with dealing with food allergies. Our daughter has tree nut allergies and even at the buffets they accommodate her. I would imagine that a Gluten free diet would garner the same attention. As for a nice restaurant for an anniversary dinner and your wife's dietary...

Congratulations on 10 years. I'll vote for Citricos in the Grand Floridian for a great anniversary dinner. The food is really outstanding and the setting is romantic. We are from Philadelphia, and this is the type of nice restaurant we would go to for our anniversary dinner if we were home...

Glad to hear he found a bathing suit. I don't know where you are in Philly, but if you're in the city, just go to City Sports in Center City at 16th and Walnut. They always have bathing suits. Enjoy your trip.

I'm going to suggest something for Illuminations that I totally understand may not be doable for you and I apologize in advance if it's out of reach. However, this was one of our best experiences at WDW. We rented a private boat that leaves from the Yacht Club Marina for what is called the...

Thanks. I assumed that but the doorman said 8:30.

I'd like to get DS to HS for Jedi Training. We are staying at the Yacht Club. I know we can walk to HS, but if we wanted to take the boat, what time do they start running in the morning. It's his birthday and he absolutely wants to do Jedi Training so we need to be there at rope drop...

We stayed at AKL this past summer and had the arusha view, and it was amazing. My sense is that the arusha view is considered the better view, but I could be wrong, and don't want to sound snobby. The animals had a lot of space to roam around, and we got to see all the animals. Night time is...

I know we did it as a walk-up, but they do take reservations, and in retrospect, I would make a reservation. I'm not sure though with whom reservations are made, that is I'm not sure if you do it directly through POR or through the main Disney recreation number. The reason why we'd make...

You can get a carriage ride at Port Orleans Riverside. It is a great ride lasting about 20 to 25 minutes. It runs along the river. I believe the cost was $45, but I could be mistaken. Plus, we tipped the driver about $10. It is well worth it.

Thanks for the update. Do you know if the slide is open yet?

Just curious from anyone that is currently staying at the Yacht and Beach Club whether the repair work for Stormalong Bay has been completed? We leave in about 2 1/2 weeks and I know it is past when the repairs were supposed to be completed, I also know that repair work always takes longer than...

We're going to be at WDW on our DS' birthday and he has really become a huge Star Wars fan. He wants to make a lightsaber at Tatoine Traders, which we've done before. He also wants to be able to purchase a Luke Skywalker costume while there. I'm just curious if anyone knows if they sell the...

Lauren T: Thanks. That seems like the most practical approach to this issue.

Thanks. I'm just curious though, is there a place to get a sit down breakfast the would qualify as quick service? Thanks.

We are doing a short trip in the middle of May and will be staying at the Yacht Club for the first time. I don't see a quick service restaurant at the Yacht Club. Is that correct or am I missing something? If there is no quick service restaurant, where do you get breakfast? Also, is there no...

During our last trip, we worked out our strategy for getting the fast pass for TSM and signing up for Jedi Training. I took our children to sign up for Jedi Training while DW took our KTW and got the fast passes for Toy Story Mania. This worked well, and given that the return times for the...

We are huge fans of Disney World, but with the WWOHP and our DD being a big fan of Harry Potter, we did Universal on our last trip and greatly enjoyed it. It is not WDW, and while hard to not compare them, we tried not to. Universal is an excellent amusement park, while WDW is a complete...
