    Autograph books in Contemporary gift shop?

    Does anyone know what autograph books are available at the Contemporary? We'll arrive at the CR from the airport mid afternoon and we have dinner at Chef Mickey shortly after. Trying to decide if I should buy books in advance or grab them there :). The kids would prefer to pick them out...

    Anyone ever put fruit/snacks in checked bag?

    I brought all kinds of food in my checked bag - breakfast bars, applesauce pouches (put the whole box in a ziploc bag), yogurt covered raisins, baby food puffs and yogurt melts, etc. I didn't bring any whole fresh fruit though. I'd be worried it might end up bruised. If you do it - I'd put...

    Stroller Rentals

    I originally booked with Apple (7 months before my trip) and they cancelled on me 1 week in advance because they overbooked and ran out of strollers. I ended up with Kingdom Strollers and was very happy. They include the parents console, the rain cover and a cooler bag in the price. So...

    Can a jar of mayo be brought with me on the plane

    Am I the only person wondering why someone would want to carry a jar of mayo? :)

    Handing out gifts to kids

    I like the idea of giving them out at meals. They sell those packs year round, we always have a collection in the diaper bag to use at restaurants :) The problem for me would be - if someone gave me kids that in a park line or a bus, they'd want to use it. And that's not an easy...

    Hotel Suggestions

    I agree with everyone else on the rooms :) As for adjoining rooms, you can request them - but they can't guarantee that they would be able to accommodate you.

    Which activity would be best for a 4 year old?

    If I could only pick one - I'd do BBB in the MK. Afterward meet the various princesses in Fantasyland. While my kids enjoyed the Princess meals - I felt like they were more for us so we didn't have to wait in the various lines. We got much better character interaction at the Meet & Greets...

    diono radian car seat?

    I love our radian, but as everyone said it is heavy! When we got ours the first thing I said was that we're never traveling with it. The seat weighs just under 25 lbs compared to just over 10 for the maestro.

    I think I'm going to drive myself crazy with this park hopper option!

    With only 4 days in the parks, going during a slower seaseon - I would get them. I like hop to a park that's open later either for dinner or to do more rides, watch the evening entertainment, etc. Without hoppers you're done for the day at 7 or 5 if that's when the park closes. You've...

    Really Don't Understand Southwest

    As more people do the EBCI, checking in exactly 24 hours in advance doesn't really guarentee you anything now. We checked in *on the dot* 24 hours for our flight a few weeks ago and got C2 and lower. Since we have 3 kids 4 and under (4 is their family boarding cut-off) I wasn't worried. But...

    Is yogurt a liquid?

    We've never had a problem taking liquid food for our kids (TSA allows a reasonable amount of baby food.) And though my kids aren't all babies (4,3, and 1) they haven't questioned us. Sometimes they'll go some extra testing on the food bag - sometimes not. eta: Here's the info from the TSA...

    Here now, crowds are worse than I had expected :/

    If it's possible to change up some of your plans, I'd consider following the recommended park days. Per Josh at easywdw.com - HS is not recommended for today.

    A bit confused...

    The CM was wrong. Magic Bands are currently available to anyone staying on property. And FP+ can be booked once you link your park tickets to your My Disney Experiance/Magic Bands (and once you're in the window to book FP+.) It doesn't matter where you buy your tickets.

    Crowd level

    Are you following the recommended parks for each day? That can make a big difference in how crowded it is!

    Dinosaur

    My 4 yo DD wanted to ride it on our trip a few weeks ago. She has a Disney World coloring book with it, and had asked to ride it before the trip. We explained to her that it was scary, told her about the Scary Dinosaur coming at you, and watched a youtube video of the ride. She did fine...

    Elsa and Anna

    I can't imagine them stopping the meet and greets after the movie's out! Rapunzel and Merida have kept M&Gs. Maybe they'll move them somewhere else though. We went the week before Thanksgiving and before the movie was out, and the lines were crazy. We got there at 10:45 for the 11:00 M&G...

    Disney w/ a Concussion?? Kind of glad for FP+ right now

    I'm surprised you had that experience! If you click on an attraction on the Disney Website - there's a link that says "Accessibility and Other Information" On that pop-up it says "Supervise children at all times. Children under age 7 years must be accompanied by a person age 14 years or...

    Disney w/ a Concussion?? Kind of glad for FP+ right now

    I believe the official Disney rule is that kids must be 7 to ride alone. And 14 to "supervise" someone under 7. So your kids should be fine. They may ask how old your younger daughter is - but it shouldn't be a problem. Hope you're feeling better soon and enjoy your trip!

    How much time will BOG with fastpass take?

    BOG at lunch (when you can use the FP) isn't sit down, it's a counter service meal. I'd say with a FP, it takes about as long as any other CS option. We waited in a short line to place our order (on par or shorter than if we'd walked up to Cosmic Rays or Pecos Bill) After we ordered we...

    Cinderella's Royal Table characters

    Aurora actually doesn't have a consistent meet and greet in the MK. Last week we saw Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora and Ariel. My understanding is that Belle no longer appears there. I would guess these are usually who you'll get.
