    Newbie Touring Strategy ?

    That's true! We are in CST so maybe it won't be as bad for the teen as I'm thinking. 😆

    Newbie Touring Strategy ?

    Thank you! Sounds like we need to do Rope Drop for sure for the headliners, especially during a busy week like Thanksgiving. At least it sounds like it'll be easy to take a midday break which we don't normally do at WDW.

    Newbie Touring Strategy ?

    Thank you so much! This is very helpful. My DS is 13 so your ride strategy sounds like it would work well for us. I know my DH & I would nap but I don't think my DS would, unfortunately. He may just have to deal with getting up early! LOL!! He does it at WDW (begrudgingly) but was hoping...

    Newbie Touring Strategy ?

    My family and I are going to DLR over Thanksgiving break. Longtime WDW vets but this will be our 1st trip to DLR. We will be in the parks Sun - Tues. We have 3 day park hoppers and are staying at the DLH. Disneyland is open 8am - midnight and DCA is open 8am - 10pm. My question is this...

    Good Neighbor Package ?

    Quick Question: If I book a package directly with Disney with tickets & staying at one of the good neighbor hotels, do I get my park tickets when I check-in at that hotel? Or because it's technically not a Disney resort, will I have to pick up my tickets elsewhere - like at Guest Services or...

    ?'s about Winter Summerland

    During our upcoming trip, we have a non-park day in the middle of our trip. We'll sleep in (probably until 9am). The activities we want to take in that day are: mini-golf @ Winter Summerland, some shopping @ DS and then some resort pool time (thinking of doing that at night). It will be...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    My family stayed in that longhouse during Easter 2015. We loved it! It was a quick walk to the pool, the GCH & transportation. I had requested the 3rd floor, which was granted and we had a nice view of the monorail. We'll (hopefully) be back at the Poly this coming May and this is definitely...

    Disney's FORT WILDERNESS CABINS & CAMPGROUNDS Information & Questions

    Hey Heather! Long time no "see"! I've been MIA from the boards for a while now but was happy to see you handling this thread. You've done an excellent job with it! My family is going to WDW from 5/29-6/5. Yes, I'm crazy for going during Memorial Day week. But we went during Easter week...

    Somebody's Gonna Pee in a Cup, West Coast - Link to new TR 1/21

    Trying to catch up....as always! The day in EPCOT sounds really nice. Except for the grumpy kids at dinner. Kids are just so frustrating the way they choose to like something one moment and hate it the next. But, at least you got your pizza! I can't even imagine how scary it must've been...

    3 Generations Wandering the Wilderness from "Cabin" Camping to Club Level-FW & WL

    Sounds like a fun day at DHS despite the crowds & weather! I love 50's PTC but we haven't eaten there in many years. We need to try to eat there again in the near future.

    As the Ticker Turns...the neverending saga of the Resort Changers

    I'm so glad to read this, Jenny! We're staying at the Poly during Easter & I've been so worried that I made the wrong decision because of the pool. I'm gonna stay strong & keep the Poly!

    Crowd comparison

    I think if you go in with the mindset that the crowds will be awful and just try to get your favorites done and some other things you may usually skip, I think you'll be fine. At least that is what I'm trying to tell myself for Easter. We can talk places to stay & ADRs this weekend!! I'm so...

    Crowd comparison

    Hey there, friend! :wave: It's been a long time since I've seen you on here. I have no input on the Mardi Gras vs. Thanksgiving debate since I've been avoiding holiday weeks like the plague (until this year :scared1:). But, I do think y'all will be fine with a good plan. And since it's not...

    Somebody's Gonna Pee in a Cup, West Coast - Link to new TR 1/21

    Getting caught up! Sounds like a nice morning in AK! Tat's great that your DS tried EE. We didn't go to AK in Oct so Reid still hasn't tried that ride but I'm going to make sure we change that in April! Sorry the service was so terrible for lunch. At least the food wasn't awful, too. The...

    Fantasmic Brown Derby package

    My family did the F! package there this past October. If I remember correctly, we had a special menu to choose from. There were options for apps, entrees & desserts. It was a very good meal with excellent service. My only complaint (and it's not a huge one) was that it was a LONG meal. We...

    Somebody's Gonna Pee in a Cup, West Coast - Link to new TR 1/21

    So glad that your first full park day was MUCH better than the night before! Sounds like y'all got a good bit accomplished! And I understand the whole "princesses are for girls" thing. Reid has always been that way. The only girls he likes meeting are Minnie & Daisy because, according to...

    :scared1: WOW! :scared1: Just. WOW. :scared1: I honestly don't even know what to say. I'm sorry y'all had such rough night @ DHS. That's just ridiculous. It makes me VERY scared for what we're going to encounter when we go for Easter. I'm glad none of y'all had any major injuries...

    Sounds like y'all's DLR trip ended up getting better! :thumbsup2 Can't wait to hear all about it. Especially about what happened to your phone. :scared1: Safe travels home! :goodvibes

    3 Generations Wandering the Wilderness from "Cabin" Camping to Club Level-FW & WL

    Wilderness Lodge is one of my favorites, too. It's honestly where I wanted to stay for our Easter trip but the only rooms with discounts when I priced were Club Level. And that just wasn't in the budget for this trip. I definitely want to see pictures to see if y'all conquer the Kitchen...
