    Fast Pass Suggestions for Thanksgiving Week

    Well after 4 years, an aborted trip due to a pregnancy followed by severe depression after losing the baby at 20 weeks, we are finally headed back to the World. I have not been following DB for the last 2 years due to the depression/working. I feel TOTALLY lost now that we're planning this...

    Thanksgiving Week help ...

    Holy macaroni ... after 4 plus years planning for a trip that was supposed to occur in 2016, we are finally making our way back to the World the week of Thanksgiving. No, there's no option to change that ... I'm maxing out my personal leave days as it is and we will not take our brand new...

    Rider swap question...

    That's exactly how it works. By the end of our last trip, my three year old was leaning against a tree and singing "The Baby Swap Blues"!

    ACK!! Stayed up to make FPs and I get the "mind if we try again" message.

    So I guess the bright side of finding out that I'll be 6/7 mos preggo for the trip we have planned is that I don't have to stay up until midnight on Christmas Eve. ;) Not sure if the news of a new baby brother or sister is going to make up for having to push this trip back but Momma is a ride...

    "Your Personal Online Planning Assistance"

    Interesting ... I'm planning a trip for 10 for the end of next February. Hoping that the stars align and I can make the FP reservations we need.

    Confused on Base Ticket and Park Hopper

    You're right - the only way to add park hopping to ONE day is to add it to ALL days. Bonus is that if you decide to hop on a day that you hadn't planned on it (too crowded, too many rides down, not feeling the vibe) you can do it without any hassle.

    FP+ tonight at midnight, and I forget if I need to manage the account?

    Because I like to know what I'm up against and this is our first trip since FP+ was implemented ... We'll be going Feb 23-Mar 1 of 2016. Can I reasonably expect to be able to make morning(ish) FP+ reservations for a group of 10 people by waking up at my regular 6:00 eastern time or should I...

    I normally visit in September, but now we're going in March!

    It's been too long since I've been for me to be very helpful to you, but we'll be in the World again from 2/23 to 3/1 staying at POR! Have a wonderful time planning!!

    ToT, convince me to ride it

    My mother does not ride any roller coasters or thrill rides. Growing up we went to the "local" parks (Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens) every single summer, multiple times each summer. She rode the swings and the merry go round. Her official title was "Backpack Carrier and Official Bench...

    Please help with strategy

    I don't have much to add (other than that your plans look pretty solid!) but just wanted to comment on this quote! My kid call them "belly flippin' hills" and LOVE it when I can make it happen while we're driving. There are a few spots they know will be good if there's nobody else on the road...

    Anticipating a Bad Trip - Won't Go

    If you want to adopt a nearly 40 year old who LOVES Disney and can bring along 3 adorable (okay, most of the time they're adorable but they have a cranky side!) kids, let me know! We are literally saving up change to pay for our next trip which won't be until 2016 when I turn 40. ;)

    What rides are ok for people with back problems?

    I have back problems (compressed, bulging discs in the lower part of my back). Most days are good, especially now that we have a great mattress, but I'm still more aware of my lower back and how it is feeling than the average bear. The only ride on your list that I have not ridden is Space...

    Vacationing with the In-Laws (extended family)

    I've vacationed with both sides of our extended family - mine (a total of 10 in our party) and my husband's (a total of 7 in our party). When we went with my family, I was very stressed b/c nobody was listening to me, my husband was often checked out due to work issues, we spent way too much...

    Re-framing the Conversation

    Exactly this. I would LOVE it if I was able to travel to Disney every single year. I about fell over when my BIL suggested a trip again this March AND saw that it was affordable(ish) for our family of 5 even with airfare. I was really disappointed when my husband veto-ed it b/c we hadn't done...

    Birthday awesomeness suggestions?

    What about letting it be HIS day? He wants to eat at Crystal Palace but nobody else does? Tough, it's his day! He wants to ride Haunted Mansion as many times in a row as he wants until he's tired of it? Yup, it's his day! He wants to go to MK for one ride and then head back for the pools...

    Lap Bars on Rides

    Don't sit it out if you don't want to! I am your same size both height and weight. Granted, it might be distributed differently on our bodies BUT I'm right there with you. On our last trip, I rode BTMRR with 3 of the 4 kids in our group (my little 3 year old was not tall enough and boy, was...

    When does your school let out?

    We get out on June 13th. We've had 11 snow days (and more 2 hour delays than I care to count) so far this year with a potential for at least one more storm. Our county has a fixed calendar with 15 extra days built in - no make up days for us!
