thanks for watching Stitch - lots of Pirates and Princesses out there... no too many Mickey's though... and I'm telling you, that Mickey outfit is like the Magic Suit for him - so much attention and character interaction... after all, Mickey is, "The Boss" there.

Hello photography board - I posted this on the trip report board but though I'd share this here as well. I shot this family video with an iPhone 5s using Instagram's Hyperlapse app. Hyperlapse is free and pretty amazing. Intended as a "motion time lapse" app, the side benefit is how well it...

Just back from a great week. As always, thanks to Disboards for being such a great source of info for planning and strategy. FP+ worked pretty well for us but we did have an occasional block of time (1-2hrs) where we did not have a scheduled FP+ or activity and the lines were pretty long...

site looks good - clean and nice design. your about page isn't selling your services well enough - don't be "just a hobby" - talk about your passion and what you can do for customers who use your service - establish your own credentials quickly and then focus on potential customers. Work on...

our trip begins this Sunday - we've watched the crowd calendars and it looks like Sunday will be pretty busy (7 or 8 out of 10) and Mon (MLK) will still be busy (5 or 6). After that it gets quiet for the rest of the week (3 or 4). we will see...

Animation Academy (Hollywood Studios). We save/frame our drawings every trip. It's pretty amazing what the kids are able to draw - and for elementary school kids, drawing/coloring/etc is a big deal - the "academy" fills them with tons of confidence.

terrible is a bit strong, but I agree. Fantasmic is great, especially for kids. There is some talk about Fantasmic being dark and scary - my kids are pretty sensitive to scary/dark stuff and they loved Fantasmic. Illuminations - if you go, do your homework on best places to view. Smoke can...

As usual, thanks for all the great info and updates in this thread. We are in the planning phase now and getting ready to return for another visit to the GF. We love the GF for the great service, impeccable grounds, rooms, restaurants, and overall grandeur of the resort - and of course the...

:thumbsup2 exactly I have no concerns now about "missing" anything - what I won't "miss" is the stampede to TSM and the "rat race" of the old FP- system. To me, a Disney vacation has never been an "easy" vacation - it's always required planning and strategy to maximize your time there. As...

WDW is trying to manage the annual increase in crowds. We all know crowds, lines, and waits have gotten worse each year. They have 2 ways to do this: 1. expansion - create more things for more visitors and thin the crowds the problem: if you thought it was tough to see everything in one trip...

good question - I'd like to know this too. And, any ideas on what they will replace it with?

AK - Nemo show. Fish on sticks on stage??? Really??? And it was fantastic. HS - Animation Class. Everyone learns to draw a dis character. Incredible for kids to draw something so amazing on their own. Ours are framed.

just some thoughts - We are in the trip planning phase now and 60days out we have a complete calendar/agenda ready. We know what parks we will be at on what days. We know where/when we will eat. We know when we are scheduled to ride major attractions. We know what night time finale's we will...

as a T3i shooter, I always recommend taking some video to go along with your stills. The T3i is a FANTASTIC video camera capable of amazing, cinematic video. Video rule(s) of thumb: whatever video frame rate you shoot at (24fps, 30fps, 60fps), set the shutter speed to double the frame rate...

so, I left the DSLR at home and just relied on my iPhone to capture the memories. Glad I did. I have spent a number of Disney trips behind the camera - this time, I was able to enjoy the experience a bit more and I was pretty happy with the iPhone shots. Here are some of my favorites off the...

just an educated guess, but it would be better to get there at 7 - 7:30. 8am - 9am seemed to be "peak" crowd time. 6 to 8pm peak for dinner. maybe the hotel won't be at capacity when you are there, and you'll have a better experience than I did. I assume if you beat the breakfast line, you'll...

thanks. good news. My kids love the parades/fireworks - but the adults have to fight for space/position even though we are there looooong before the event start. To me, ride lines and parade/fireworks mobs and rudeness are the biggest problems with a disney trip. Nice to see this may all be...

agreed with the above posts. Wait line was about 30 - 40 minutes. NOTE: you wait directly in the sun - they handed out umbrellas as you got closer but it could be pretty hot. In the end, we were happy we waited. The decor was GREAT. The food was VERY GOOD. To think that BOG is equal to 1...

tough to rank them - they all have different pluses and minuses - here's some of what we've done: Chef Mickey's - IMO, the best classic character breakfast. Food is a hit or miss buffet (we've been a few times) but character interaction is GREAT. Location: in Contemporary. Not very scenic...
