From recent-ish personal experience... We went with a 9yo with a broken leg for a 10 day trip. She had a cast on for about 5 months, and the cast was on during the trip in August. I don’t know what luck you will have getting a DAS card - like you, I heard mixed feedback with some saying that...

Thanks for putting so much time into this! I'm going to see how your suggested plan would work out for us with other considerations. This will be our first time at the waterparks, so I'm a little nervous about how busy it is at those places if you hop there in the afternoon. We'll just have...

This is all very helpful. Yes - I'm planning on hopping, but I'm not sure that that is going to look like at this point. Mainly I'm just thinking about scheduling meals and fast passes, so I'm focused on the main park of the day. We will definitely be going to the WP on the off days (weather...

We are planning a vacation for early August. We haven't been as a family since Nov 2016, and I know a lot has changed. Also, we're planning a long vacation - a sort of once in a lifetime 13 day trip to Grand Floridian. We are so excited! Now I'm planning for our Fast Passes and daily visits...

Just my 2 cents... I'm 5'4'' and average body size. I was able to sleep on the murphy bed one night, but I wouldn't say that it was particularly comfortable. My children all took turns sleeping on the murphy bed (7,10,12), but they all were pretty miserable about it. The mattress is quite...

Sorry to revive my old thread, but a hurricane interrupted my September plans. I'm planning on heading to WDW next week and I'm wondering if anyone had success recently booking a bounceback recently for a family of 5? I just don't want to get my hopes up. I'm so flexible about when I could go...

I'll be staying at WDW tomorrow night and I'm hoping to book a bounce back for next year. I'm VERY flexible, but would like to travel in the summer, if possible. I have a family of 5. I'm wondering if others have had recent (the last few days) success with booking trips of 7 nights or more...

Aha - I must have been on the bottom level then, or just too excited to notice!

Really? I was on FOP on Saturday and we were all in a straight line - I was all the way on the left and felt completely immersed - if there are different levels, I didn't notice it.

I have to tell you - my experience this trip (just a couple of days ago) was not like these others. The day that I went to Animal Kingdom I got 17(!!!!!!) mosquito bites on my feet and ankle. I always get some, but I just got nailed this time. This may not be everyone's experience, but I, too...

I would say every seat is as good as the next since everyone is on the same level in a row. It's amazing. Enjoy!

I returned early this morning from a last-minute, short birthday trip. There were just 2 of us, but I wanted to share some observations that I found interesting/surprising. We visited Magic Kingdom on Friday, Animal Kingdom on Saturday, then Magic Kingdom again on Sunday. I've been reading...

I got home from my trip this morning. I stayed in a refurbished room in 90s on the 1st floor. I feel like I should mention that it took me less than 5 minutes to walk to the Magic Kingdom bus stop from my room. I love staying in Preferred rooms, but given that building theming didn't mean...

I can speak from recent experience. My answer is that it depends on what kind of trip you are hoping for and what you are used to. We usually hit WDW for 10-12 days and are commandos. There are 5 of us with kids currently ranging from 8-13. We go to the park almost every day and plan our...

This is exactly the kind of post that I've been hoping for. Did you order your uber ahead of time, or did you just do it in the morning that day?

There is a very specific plan to buy something that my son has always wanted, so it's not exclusively to carry the flip flops - just a nice fringe benefit and works to our advantage. We like to use those bags all year long at home for various purposes, so I can feel a little less guilty about...

Thanks, everyone! My first time bagless and I'm planning this like a military strike!

The plan is to hit Pandora with them in hand and then go directly to Kali afterward. From there, it depends. I expect that we'll buy something in the park, so we'll have a bag, or we'll just keep carrying them. I'm totally overthinking it, but I also considered using a string to hang them...

I'm planning my first bagless trip to Animal Kingdom next week. Do you think that I can carry a pair of flip flops in my hands through that line, or will they redirect me to the bag line? I don't expect to be carrying anything else in my pockets except for sunscreen and a phone, so I won't be...

My family usually takes longer trips to WDW - 10 days or more - every other year or so. I hate to travel, so a plane ride needs to have a solid cushion on the other side before I get on a plane again! At the very last minute, I've decided to take one of the kids for a special weekend trip...
