Given the masses of people at DHS at opening trying to get into a boarding group, what is the best strategy for riding Slinky without a massive wait? We were there last weekend, and by 7:02 the Slinky line was almost all the way to the Little Mermaid theater. How early are people getting there...

Will we be permitted to leave our cooling towels (the frog tog type that you wear around your neck) on our necks when we go on rides? Or will we have to leave them in lockers? Thanks!

I thought of starting a new thread, but it looks like most of the talk about this new restaurant is in here. My family of 4 (me, DH, DD1 (6 years old), and DD2 (2 years old)) ate at the Skipper Canteen today for lunch. MK was absolutely packed to insane levels today (which we knew ahead of...

We love both Epcot and SeaWorld, but in your situation I'd just do SeaWorld. SeaWorld is definitely a full day for us -- the shows are awesome. And with the way the timing of the shows works, you're unlikely to be able to do everything unless you spend a full day. We have actually never...

I've been to WDW pregnant, and you can ride most of the rides. From what I recall, the "Mountains" and any roller coasters were out. And I couldn't ride on the Safari ride at AK.

DHS is my 5 year old girl's second favorite park! Toy Story Midway Mania is her favorite ride in all of WDW. She loves the Disney Junior show, the Ariel show , and the Belle show. She enjoyed the car show (Lights, Motor, Action), but didn't love it. She wasn't a huge fan of the...

Oh, I really, really hope they continue this test for a few more days!! We're heading down for a quick two day trip Monday (DHS) and Tuesday (MK) for my older daughter's fifth birthday. I've told her that Anna and Elsa are too new to have a meet and greet, but she would lose her mind if she...

I live a two hour drive from Orlando, so we frequently go down to WDW for just one or two days (and always stay off site). Since FP+ rolled out, I have always purchased tickets in advance and signed up for fastpasses ahead of time. Even if we decide on Wednesday to drive down on Friday, I...

We love Liberty Tree for lunch! We usually eat there on MK days. The Thanksgiving-style turkey is really, really good. Nice air-conditioned seating and unlimited drink refills to fill up on fluids before you go back in the heat! It's also pretty conveniently located -- you don't have...

I've been with a 3 month old, a 10 month old, and an 18 month old (and older). I think you'll be fine! Cooler and non-mobile is always going to be easier. I adore my Baby Jogger City Mini -- super easy to fold! Definitely bring a baby carrier too. At 3 months, my younger daughter...

For our two days (second is tomorrow), we had: Day 1: Peter Pan, Ariel ride, Enchanted Tales with Belle Day 2: Ariel ride, meeting Ariel, and BTMRR If I'd been able to get Elsa and Anna, I would have given up any of the others!! But this was a last minute trip :-)

Sorry to jump in here, but I had a similar question and just wanted to confirm! We're going down to Orlando day after tomorrow for a last minute trip. We're not staying on property, so (as I understand it) I cannot get a fastpass for Be Our Guest. So, my question is -- what can we expect...

I would wait to meet your baby before you book it. We took DD2 last fall when she was 3 months old. She was super easy (my four year old was much more work!). She is a super laid back baby -- she spent most of the trip in a baby carrier on my chest, nursing when she got hungry, looking...

I'm a huge fan of Embassy Suites hotels since my daughter won't fall asleep if she can see me and DH -- ES is real suites plus a full breakfast. I've stayed at the Orlando airport one several times, and I'd recommend it. We actually just got back from spending six nights there -- we paid...

I would just bring the birth certificate. How hard is it to make a copy, fold it, put it in a gallon ziplock, and just keep that in the diaper bag? I don't ever travel without a copy of my daughter's birth certificate and a copy of my marriage license (because the state of FL puts the...

Unfortunately I wouldn't count on that. I was at the Grand Floridian on January 1st this year (2012) and the big house was still up, but no store. The house was a little beat up, too -- it looked like people had broken parts off :-(

We'll be there :-). We were there last year for New Year's Eve too. I don't know if it closed, sorry. It was *very* crowded, of course. But we were still able to have a good time. Just get to the shows early (even 20 minutes should be enough for most of the shows, assuming you don't...

When in October? My birthday is in early October, and it is *always* still hot. Like, as hot as August hot. And I live two hours north of Orlando. I would feel totally comfortable buying water park tickets for the first week or week and a half of October. Late October can be cold...

Considering DTD is so crowded on a typical summer weekend night that you can barely find a parking space and all the restaurants have insane waits, no WAY would I attempt to go there on Halloween. I can see you wanting to find something fun to do since you arrive on Halloween night, but I...

I have to admit, I'm very surprised that there are so many people disappointed in this menu. I could see being disappointed that it's not more upscale or that it's not more French (but really, it's located in Fantasyland, the most kid-centric of all WDW!!). I think the menu looks fabulous...
