A little off topic but I am curious about something... do many people keep logs of wait times by day of the week, month, etc. It just seems to me that anytime the subject of FP+ comes up there are people that can quote statistics that seem amazing to me. Back in 1992 on Tuesdays during October...

I think this question bothers me more than just about anything. The answers here are spot on but if you really want to shut someone down quickly ask if they know anyone who had a loved one suffer from dementia. Follow it up with did they stop visiting or caring for that loved one once their...

Super excited and it may take a minute to describe why... but you asked so here goes. We had a trip planned for last fall and then found out my oldest DD was pregnant and was due the week before we were to arrive. As we discussed option we then found out she was having a little boy but he had...

I think it closes at least once a day during winter, somewhere around 5:00 pm, but it usually re-opens the next morning. Sorry, couldn't resist. Historical refurbishments show it was closed for about two weeks in late January and early February during 2012, 2013 and 2015. It was not closed...

2014 FIFA World Cup - 370 million viewers ... even the US Women's final group match pulled in nearly 6 million viewers in the US alone.

That same calendar only goes through January 30th. Seems Disney has decided to do away with January 31st next year as well. Talk about saving money, they are just going to remove that day from the calendar. I bet they make people staying on-site across that time go ahead and pay for a room...

It's a third of a mile from the front gate to the entrance of KS, another roughly tenth of a mile from the entrance to the boarding station. Depending on your walking pace and the crowds that could be anywhere from about 4 minutes to about 20 minutes. It's another third of a mile from KS to EE...

Give them any tips you think would be beneficial at this point and encourage them to have fun. Things like "You should have booked breakfast at the Castle 6 months ago" aren't going to add to any enjoyment but things like "Make sure to grab a Dole Whip" or "Hit rope drop when you can" will help...

I would recommend you let your plans and what you want to do make the decision for you. For instance, are you on the dining plan and, if so, where are you wanting to dine. Do your restaurant choices match up with your park days? Or are you more like us, wanting to spend 1 or 2 mornings at...

Sorry, but you can't add an extra day and then use two park days in one calendar day. Disney thought of that loophole and closed it long ago.

To me this is where it starts. You have a good spot and someone steps in front of you, someone beside you decides to stand, whatever. Something happens that blocks your view, something that you cannot control or correct. Your reaction is to stand up so that you can see, which is perfectly...

We are planning an 12 day trip in October and managed to get BOG at 180+ 10 days for an 8:40 pm seating. Everything else was booked solid. We did get Ohana fairly easily and still saw some availability a few days ago so keep trying.

108 with another 12 coming up in October.

I get that it honestly stinks FPP is gone for these attractions early but I think there are really two big problems. First, the increased visibility that the new system brings is pushing more people to use Fast Pass Plus, making running out a self-fulfilling prophecy. I liken it to tickets to...

Getting stuck on Buzz was one of our best memories a couple of trips back. My youngest DD was 7 at the time. Me, both her older sisters and her older brother had all gotten badges for a max score on the previous trip but, obviously, she hadn't as she was 5 at the time. We were in the room...

For the last several years we have gone in WDW in September and had Free Dining. This year our trip is pushed back a few weeks into October and it seems rumors are the Stay, Play and Dine Discount may be what is available during that time. I was trying to calculate costs both ways to make our...

My favorite is our commonly referred to as "Karma is a well, you know" moment. We were in line for the Magic Carpets of Aladdin, waiting patiently, when a boy of about 5 or 6 squeezes around us. He moves through the line so that he is about 4 or 5 families in front of us then stops. Next...

I was doing some research and your post tied right in to what I was looking at. Over the last handful of years the attendance at Universal's two parks have increased by roughly 15% and 75%. (I know part of that is due to Harry Potter but my thought is Disney should be keeping up.) During that...

I'm thinking your plan may be a big aggressive. I would expect SE to take about 45 minutes to an hour from the time you are through the front gate at Epcot. Turtle Talk will eat some time as it is another 15 minute show and you will have to hang out for a show start time. With FP+ I would say...

I would stick with Epcot on Friday and Magic Kingdom on Saturday if you can only hit rope drop on Saturday. You may lose a little with a more crowded MK on Saturday but you will come out with a net gain because of the hours you will pick up.
