    PrincessPalooza 2012 - A Long-Delayed (and photo-heavy) Trip Report (Oct 12-20)

    It was wonderful. Our next trip will be several years from now, and I expect by then the Princesses and other characters won't be seen as REALLY real anymore. But that's okay - there's magic and pixie dust at every age.

    PrincessPalooza 2012 - A Long-Delayed (and photo-heavy) Trip Report (Oct 12-20)

    We had a bit of a sleep-in after staying up for MNSSHP - or at least the menfolk did! Katherine was up by 7:30, so she and I wandered down to breakfast at Trail's End (yummy! gotta love a place that serves bread pudding for breakfast!). We played on the climber, checked out the dock, visited...

    PrincessPalooza 2012 - A Long-Delayed (and photo-heavy) Trip Report (Oct 12-20)

    This was our first trip to the Fort, and our first trip to Disney since 2001. DD is 4 and VERY into the Princesses, so we figured it would be a good time for her first trip. My FIL flew in from TX to join us. The trip down couldn't have been smoother - Magical Express was splendid and...

    Hollywood & Vine dinner sucked!

    That's too bad you had a lousy experience. We ate there last week for lunch one day and dinner another day and had two perfectly good meals.

    Simple Thing a Cast Member Did...

    We just returned from a week full of magic, but here are two that stand out: Our first full day we went to DHS and had lunch at H&V. DD LOVES Disney Junior, and was very excited about meeting June, Jake, Oso and Handy Manny. Until we actually got there, of course, when she started ducking...

    Thanks for all the ECV advice

    We're just back from WDW and had a wonderful time with my father-in-law. We rented a scooter from Apple, and we rented a car starting our second day. The Fort Wilderness buses and boat to MK were easy to access even for a novice scooter-driver, and the drivers could not have been more helpful...

    Cinderella's New Look Debuts at Disney Parks

    Love the new dress. I think I like the hair, too, but I need to see it in person. I wonder if her shoes have straps - when my daughter met Cinderella last Sunday (10/14 MNSSHP) they compared shoes and Cinderella complemented K on having straps ("Shoes fall off so easily!") and said that Fairy...

    We're back from a fantastic trip!!

    A full(ish) trip report will follow, but I wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone here for all the great advice and information I got in the planning phase of Disney Princess-Palooza 2012. The Fort was everything we could have hoped for - check-in was easy, transportation was smooth, the...

    Mel's Corner 4~~CLOSED

    You seem to be the fastest DIS-igner on the planet! I love all your designs, and I'm hoping you can work some magic for me. We leave on Thursday, 10/11, so I understand if it can't happen. But here goes (I know this is a lot, so I've ** my priorities): **Welcome letter from Mickey & the...

    What Are You Celebrating on Your Next Trip?

    We're celebrating our daughter's first trip and somewhat belated (only 5 months) birthday, and our 15th wedding anniversary (1997 honeymoon at WL). Can't wait!

    Ordered. Fingers crossed so hard I'm getting cramps!

    Loved Photopass Plus.

    Shoot - I think I left it too late! We're exactly 14 days out (leave Friday, 10/12) - I should just buy it in the park, right? Or have they come faster for US-based people?

    Tent camping at Ft. Wilderness

    May I ask what kind of tents you tent-campers have? DH and I are looking to get into camping and are a little overwhelmed by the decisions to be made! There's just 3 of us (DD is 4), but my foggy memories of camping in high school (30 years ago) tell me that we should be looking at a 6-8...

    Park hours changes - do character times change too?

    I see that there have been some park opening changes posted for October - for example, one day that MK was scheduled to open at 9 it's now opening at 8. (Regular opening - not EMH.) Does this bump up the various meet & greet times? So if Ariel usually starts meeting & greeting at 9:30, now...

    Kid riding on adult's ECV

    I've got it! We can strap the umbrella stroller to the ECV until it's needed!! Thanks for helping me hash this out - I'm sure we'll still have SOME issues over it (or something else, G-d knows), but that's an elegant solution to 2 problems. Follow up question - how ECV-accessible are the...

    Kid riding on adult's ECV

    I never thought I'd say this, but it makes me a teensy bit glad that we don't see him much (generally 1x per year) so K is still a little stand-offish with him. It hurts to think that, because he loves her and would not intentionally hurt her for anything. It's more about being dismissive of...

    Kid riding on adult's ECV

    She's 4 - Anything that hasn't actually caused her pain in the past week is, by definition, "Not Dangerous, Mommy!" *headthunk* I will, of course, be stressing to her before we go (and probably daily while we're there) that riding with Granddad is not safe, not permitted, and the Princesses...
