    Crowd Calendars are all different...help me decide..

    I'll be the lone voice here and say that on our recent trip, using Josh's crowd calendar from easy wdw worked perfectly for us. I checked this page while we were there and saw complaints of crowds at some parks but they were never the ones we picked using his calendar. YMMV but I'm still a...

    Reign of Kong's Exterior Portion

    thanks - we could glance over and see that left curve outside, but did not go there either time. I had no clue we were missing anything other than the odd timing of the goggles message.

    When people want to argue...

    We stay offsite so I received nothing whatsoever from Disney, but I guess I just always go on the net and find places like the DIS before every kind of trip. I can't enjoy a trip if I'm not well-prepared. It always pays off for me! I agree wholeheartedly about the wifi being spotty but the...

    When people want to argue...

    I was rather shocked to see the large numbers of people waiting in LINE to use the fast pass kiosks, when I could visibly see smartphones in their hands! What a waste of time that just a little research could have prevented!

    Tapstile + Finger Scan

    gotcha - that would explain why Universal's were even more problematic then! We heard a lot of CMs and TMs yelling "warm up your hands!" Have no idea if that actually helped but I know that many people were having trouble at both sets of parks.

    Just back (1/27-2/3)

    Glad you had a great trip - we were there at the exact same time and had a blast as well! We didn't encounter crowds anywhere (stayed offsite and followed Josh's crowd calendar for all the days, so didn't do any EMH) and all of us agreed when it got warmer that we actually rather liked the...

    Tapstile + Finger Scan

    Several members of my family had issues with the finger scans all week. Disney was less problematic than Universal but we still got held up. We were not the only ones! We didn't have magic bands but the cards always scanned fine - it was just the darn prints. My husband works in this type of...

    Do you like Disney World or Universal more? And why?

    I am a "ride person" and so are my husband and kids, so for us, IOA is hands down the best park in all of Florida.

    Stuck on JPRA

    We got stuck on Jurassic Park several years ago (right near the end of the ride) and it seemed to take forever. We ended up evacuating before the actual exit, and they did give us an express pass to use on any ride that day. We always wondered if there was a boat stuck right at the top of the...

    Characters??

    also keep on the look out for Spidey as you are in the Spiderman queue! He's sneaky like that! ;-)

    Characters??

    Last week we saw characters everywhere, with almost no lines to see them! Betty Boop was practically begging people to come pose with her! Our absolute favorites are all the Seuss Landing characters though. Got a great pic with my family of 5 and Cat in the Hat, Thing1 and Thing 2. There was...

    Question about crowds for next week

    It was so slow last week when we were there that I swear the regular lines were just as fast as the Express! Would not have been worth it for us...

    Reign of Kong's Exterior Portion

    wow -rode this twice last week and didn't even know I was missing an outdoor part! Is the outdoor part at the very beginning? Because it seemed so odd that the audio told you not to put on your goggles yet and then like 10 seconds later said now put them on! Maybe that's where the outdoor...

    MK opens at 9am, how early will they let me in to Main Street?

    I always thought this was true too but last Tuesday we arrived at the TTC by car and were offered either bus or ferry to get over to MK. We were not resort guests. I guess they just wanted to run some buses that day for some reason. We chose ferry anyway but definitely could have taken the...

    Here now, deciding what day for MK

    Check out Josh's crowd calendar at easywdw. I had never used his before but just used them last week and he was spot on! Keep in mind though - it is very likely that no matter what day you pick, MK will be or seem to be more busy than the other 3 parks!

    Disney's Random Metal Detectors..

    I just got back and only my daughter and I had to go through one, just one day at MK. Nobody else had to go through, on any other day.

    Don't understand. Please explain...

    oh my - I am a 44 year old woman and not even "into" Star Wars and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED that march! It was a surprise to me as I haven't been to HS in a very long time and it was amazing! Just fascinating. They march every hour and the rest of the day whenever I heard that music I just got...

    On RnR - could we get a rider switch pass at the chicken exit?

    The need to be under the height requirement in order to use rider switch is absolutely not true. I just went up to as CM at AK last week and asked that very question. My daughter is clearly tall enough to ride Everest but was just too scared to ride. The CM said "absolutely!" we could do...

    Trading with the Jawas

    yeah, I did try to prepare her, but it was sad. She was SO excited about it!
