    Time Crunch Question: is there enough time

    Ask your wife - if it were me I would rather stay at the resort for the morning with the baby than tag along to the Mk and not be able to ride. Maybe she could stay , you and the others attend for the morning as planned - but possibly take an uber back to the resort to change and head back for...

    Well looks like its going to work splendidly. So excited for our Halloween day - making our way around F & W through the day - then stumbling / sauntering to DHS for Star Wars fireworks and Club Villain. Awesome!!

    How long do Star Wars fireworks last?

    Can anyone elaborate ? I have the same question. I also notice that Fantasmic is running at 7:30pm - does this mean we will be swimming upstream trying to get through crowd letting out of F. To get to Club Villain.

    Club Villain info.

    I am interested in this thread too - specifically we have it booked for Halloween night at 8:30 - currently park hours for DHS has it closing at 7:00. What happens? Are the park hours likely to change or will we be let into a closed park?

    Everthing you wanted to know about Uber/Lyft at WDW

    Hi there. We will be staying at Bay Lake Tower and need to pick up a hire car at Car Care Centre. Should we use Uber or rely on the Alamo shuttle. Sort of feel bad because its such a short trip. Thanks

    La Nouba

    Hi there I am looking at attending the La Nouba show on a Saturday night - I was intending on going to the late show (9:00pm I think) and I currently have a reservation at Raglan Road for 6:45pm. Will this be enough time to enjoy Raglan Road and then get to the show or should I switch La...

    Halloween

    Thanks for the replies. I think we will make every effort to be there on the 31st - it sounds like an event not to be missed - I have rearranged my schedule to suit - . (Trying to fit everything Walt Disney World has to offer in 12 days is complicated business. Another option - we are...

    Halloween

    Hi there, I am booked on a trip over Halloween (as Australians - being there at Halloween was a happy coincidence and not on my mind when it was initially booked) Anyway we are split staying between The boardwalk and wilderness lodge - arriving at WL on the 1st of November. We really want to...

    3 teens in Tokyo! - we survived!! - Trip Report!!! Now with Photos!!!

    From memory - we chose the Sheraton because it would fit five - I don't think the rooms at the Hilton do. yeah, sharing with so many can be a PITA -it was very difficult keeping the room tidy - if you can afford the luxury of two rooms - do it. What ages are your kids? That said, you spend...

    3 teens in Tokyo! - we survived!! - Trip Report!!! Now with Photos!!!

    Hi there Aussie Disney nut We booked one room at the Sheraton it had two singles and two doubles . I believe the policy was that you could book this room for five as long as the fifth person was under 17. (They don't really expect two adults to share , hence why there is often two beds in a...

    Planning WDW from Australia

    Don't know who your provider is in Australia, we recently travelled to Hawaii and used the Vodafone $5 per day roaming - it worked a treat ! Use your phone like at home for $5 per day, ! you are only charged if you actually use it - so if you turn off data and use wifi you will only be...

    My TR - a bunch of reviews and random thoughts.

    Hi - I have been lurking here for a while. Just felt the need to weigh in on your aulani experience - we recently spent 1 night there ( sad face ) on October 2 - we had none of the problems you mention - the resort was practically empty - our kids are 17 and 19 so we didn't have to use the...

    Why aren't Australians interested in TDR and HKDLR?

    The Asian Disney parks are not marketed at all to Australians - quite frankly I don't think many Australians know they exist. We had a great trip to TDL last year but it's not the same as a USA trip - TDL is four days max , so unless you are interested in making it part of a longer Japan...

    Japan...Tokyo only?

    Oh and just looking at my notes - we paid $1233 - that's in $A - for 8nights at the sheraton in a four bed room - 2 doubles - 2singles. Room was amazing - top floor with a view over Tokyo bay. Exchange was roughly 95¥ per $. But i know I had to keep checking and it fluctuated - a lot. At one...

    Japan...Tokyo only?

    I think we ate more burgers and fries in Japan than we ever have. We have the same problem of finding something that suits everyone . Admittedly it was stressful only because I like to eat a little more adventurously and get frustrated with them. We found our best option was the food court at...

    Japan...Tokyo only?

    Just another note - we went in the April school holidays and airfare was reasonable - we flew qantas for $998 return per person - I don't think it's a destination that is in high demand over school holiday periods such as LA or Hawaii. Everything I read put the last two weeks of April as the...

    Japan...Tokyo only?

    Maybe that was my TR you were thinking of Wendy ! links is in my signature ! But for the OP we are a family of five and stayed at the Sheraton Tokyo bay - we had one room for five of us - it was huge and it's a great location for Disney - check the website regularly prices fluctuate wildly -...

    Help for Vancouver, Alaska and Canadian Rockies June 2015

    Following intently - I have a friend who is trying to plan a Canadian trip - she has never planned a trip before on her own, so is looking at the APT tours , but the cost is almost prohibitive. She is asking me as she thinks I am the trip planning guru and I have no clue - I sent her to...

    It Just Isn't Done That Way - Sydney and the Blue Mountains - TR Complete #284.

    Just another comment on the traffic - we live about 5 minutes from Glenbrook and would only ever leave an hour for getting to the airport - maybe an hour and half if it was peak hour - bit would check traffic reports especially the M5 tunnel - keep in mind I always aim to be at the airport at...
