    New 2024 Room Discounts March 25- October 3

    Same. We did all the research and then were shocked when we tried to book a few days ago. Hoping a new promo comes out soon, for August,

    It's early...but October 2016??? Discount Watch!

    I am also eagerly following this thread. We are planning a trip for right before my daughter turns three, so she's still free. We'd like to get back on Disney property this time, so we really need a good deal.

    How do you get past the "leaving the kids at home" guilt?

    We're going without kids for a weekend in November and focusing on the F&W festival. But contrary to popular advice here, we plan to tell our 7-year-old that we are going to Florida. We'll bring a souvenir from Downtown Disney (he always wants Legos anyway). I would not generally advise...

    Best Water Park for 6 y.o.

    We just got back, and we went to BB for a few hours late afternoon. My son was ultimately too scared to go on any of the main slides, but he loved the big kid play area (ski school), with the floating icebergs and smaller slides. It was ideal. We got the waterparks option on our park hopper...

    Childswap with FP+ question

    I have to say, I was pretty concerned about Fastpass Plus, but for us and our young kids it was the best thing since sliced bread. We didn't have to drag out slow-starting family out of bed to get there at the crack of dawn, and the baby swap was fantastic. We made three FP+ reservations for...

    The Animal Kingdom Safari Story - what happened?

    That's funny, we just got back Wednesday and when we were on KS I told my husband I missed the storyline. I agree with the posters though that while it was well-done at the beginning (sure it was cheesy, but hey, it's Disney), it definitely got half-baked in later years and was kind of lame. I...

    Blizzard Beach on a Sat. vs. a Monday

    Hi, I am trying to decide when to hit Blizzard Beach. We will be there May 14-21. I had it scheduled for Sat. May 20, figuring it would be a good break mid-way through, but someone told my husband the water parks are a bad call on the weekends because they get a lot of local day visitors...

    Flower and Garden Festival Play Areas

    Hello, We will be at WDW during the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. I've read that there are gardens set up for kids to play in, and I'm wondering what exactly that means. Will my six year old get kicked out if Epcot for knocking over an Elsa topiary while pretending to be Agent P? (I'm...

    Is Thunder Railroad too intense for a 4.5 yo boy?

    My son loved it when he was 4.5 and 5. However, he consistently said he did not like the beginning, when the train climbs through the cave. He didn't like the bats hanging in the cave. He said it was OK thought because he could just cover his eyes. :)

    Best Water Park for 6 y.o.

    Hi DISers, I promised my son that the next time we visited WDW, we could go to a water park. Well, we are planning a trip for May, right after he turns 6. He's a good swimmer, but he is still young and won't do things that are scary (i.e. he won't like a fully-enclosed tube waterslide because...

    Memorial Day Parade

    I was wondering this too! I can't believe you have no replies. Disney seems to be pretty Patriotic all things considered, I'm surprised I haven't heard about a flag ceremony or special parade or something.

    Taking our "souvenirs" on the trip...

    I second the post about telling the kid we'll come back and get it. We say we'll look at everything and choose what we want at the end of the trip. But last time, on our second morning, our son woke up and all he could talk about was when could he get the Buzz Lightyear shooter he saw the day...

    The Legend of Jack Sparrow

    Can someone explain this attraction to me? Is it a ride? Do you walk through it? Is it just a movie? How scary is it (i.e. is it too intense for a 5-year-old who hasn't seen the movies?) Thanks!

    Taking a "big" 2 year old

    I always carry my son's birth certificate folded in a tiny square in my wallet. We once had a rough time clearing immigration with him in the USVI (which is domestic, like flying to NY, no passport or special documentation is required) and I have carried it ever since. But I have never needed...

    Midday break or not

    People have already alluded to this, but it totally depends on the individual kid. Our son cannot endure a full day in the parks. And when he gets tired, he gets hyper and whiny and sensitive and will explode into a tantrum at the drop of a hat. Disney is a very stimulating environment, and...

    Mr. Potato Head pricing at Downtown Disney

    The box is $20 to fill. You can buy separate pieces or a body on the side if you absolutely have to have that extra pair of large shoes.

    Hollywood & Vine Breakfast without kids!

    I have to agree. I love all things Disney and would totally do a character meal kid-free (especially the Crystal Palace - I'd recommend that one for sure!). But we have taken our son to H&V twice, and it is one of the more miserable experiences we've had. Nothing awful happened, but at one...

    Two questions about rides while preggo

    If you go to the "attractions" section of the WDW website, you can select restrictions from a menu on the upper right of the page under "accessibility and advisories." Choose expectant mother advisories, and you get a list that includes Buzz Lightyear. Although there are no explanations for...

    Legoland Rides - Pregnancy Restrictions

    Can anyone tell me which rides at Legoland warn against pregnant riders? Are all the roller coasters restricted, or are some mild enough to ride? The website says it can't advise what to go on. Obviously I can and will use my own judgment, but I haven't been to Legoland before, so I don't...
