    Genie+, Park Hopping, and Modifying

    I have more crib notes for LL+ then for my Masters! Just back, so some of this is from experience and a lot of research before we left: The 2 hour rule/park opening is based on the park where you have a reservation. You can’t modify an existing lightening lane to a new park, you have to...

Here’s where I need your advice We have HS booked for...

    Easter Weekend crowds

    We're arriving Saturday of Easter weekend. Friday and Saturday look nuts, but Sunday is predicted to be quieter and crowds are fairly low the following week on Touring plans. I'm wondering if Easter Sunday isn't going to be as busy this year? It's much later this year and most spring breaks...

    Resort swap- luggage arrival?

    I need your help making a resort booking decision. We are going in April from 4/20-4/28 on a group youth performance trip. We're staying at CBR from Sunday- Saturday with the group and originally I had added nights- at that point to add nights was at full rack rates. As an aside, having to...

    Boston parking

    We've started using Preflight parking (recommendation from a pilot's wife who uses it all the time). Price is reasonable, shuttles are quick and easy. I like using the embassy hotel for park and fly, but since your flight is late in the day, probably not a great option. Since you're in Keene...

    First time at Universal

    We were just there Sun-Tues of this week with our DD who’s 9 (2 nights but 1 full day and 2 half days at RP) and hadn’t been there since the mid-90’s too. Daughter is not a major thrill ride, so we skipped the big coasters. Between the one hour early entry for Harry Potter and the Express...

    Leaving car at resort on check out day?

    The resort and time of year is a big question. You may have to wait for the resort bus and then possibly have multiple resort stops, then arrive at resort and walk to wherever your car is and then drive off Disney property. Last year we had a similar situation, my husband graciously stayed...

    being two places at once

    Your question wasn't confusing at all. I second what everyone says about your initial question on tickets. But timing is everything and you need be there before the park "officially" opens. We were there last week (not a busy time) and arrived in the building where they sign you up for Jedi by...

    Sweatshirts in February?

    Hi- we're heading down the same time. To save valuable packing space (and because we fly from the cold northeast) I wear a light jersey type sweatshirt onto the plane with a heavy sweatshirt over that. The weather can be unpredictable that time of year and after a trip in late Feb where I had...

    One day to myself

    I’m not sure if you’re :) or :worried: about this. This is hard to answer without knowing you, but here’s my approach. It’s very rare that I ever have a day to myself, I would do whatever I want and it doesn’t necessarily have to be in a park. Looking at your family I have a feeling you’re a...

    How Do I Flush This? Squared! *update 1-5*

    Where did you go? I found your Trip Report, started reading, wanted to recruit readers because a well written amusing Trip Report deserves followers and then almost went out and jumped in a snowbank when I got here and found no ending. Your trip report kept me giggling on the couch as Winter...

    Recommendations for a kid's planning book

    I second the Guide to the Magic. My daughter is 8 and has loved going through the book to get ready for our trip. It's not a hard read, but she loves it because it's also an activity book that includes journaling and she's bringing it on the trip with her.

    Anyone else "train" for the parks?

    I’m with you and follow the same “training plan”. I’ve managed to coax my daughter out of the house on cold NH winter day’s by telling we’re preparing for Disney. We play Disney trivia games while we walk and make plans for our trip. She also puts her snow boots on and walks on the top of the...

    Trying something new, Riverside Resort

    Hi We're going to Riverside for the first time this year too! I found this site to be helpful, it was shared in the POR Resort section. http://www.portorleans.org/room-requests.php It's hard to give someone else a recommendation since what one person likes can be what another person...

    Newbie planning my very first trip!

    Hi Rivka How exciting to be planning your first trip! I’ve struggled with the car rental question in the past too. A couple of things to keep in mind on the rental versus bus question: 1) Magical Express is cool- it’s a free bus service for resort guests from the airport with extra perks...

    Philharmagic! Tower of Terror! Earl! Dinosaur!....and my WEDDING - Packing!

    Torsie- followed you to your PTR from another thread where I had asked about Illuminations/Wishes the same night and you put up a post. Spent the last hour reading your PTR. I'm enchanted by your story and have to admit that I even got happy tears for you. To see a marriage starting off...

    Illuminations & Wishes the Same Night?

    Thanks for the suggestions- I thought the park might be a long shot and I'm not sure if we could make it to a resort beach, but the TTC seems like a possibility- love watching over the lagoon and my daughter loves the monorail and won't be riding it much since we're staying at ASMU. If you...
