    Calif Grill and fireworks

    Recently, we had 7:30 p.m. reservations when Wishes was showing at 9:30 p.m. We did not order appetizers, and we ordered entrees around 7:35 p.m. and dessert around 8:30 p.m. We were on the patio watching wishes just in time after dessert was served (and eaten). Perfect for us.

    Best "Disney" Meal of 2013?!?

    For us, the winner was Narcoosee's in 2013. Over three trips and 29 days total spent in WDW restaurants in 2013, we visited several restaurants to include many signatures. Narcoose's was tops with the perfectly cooked filet, lobster tails and delicious desserts. The ambiance and fireworks...

    Why DCL is worth the price, to me

    Our first "real" cruise was in 2000 and we opted for a 4 day Carnival cruise instead of Disney, primarily due to price. Oh, how I wish I would have chosen Disney! Our Carnival cruise was fine (just DH and I), but nothing so memorable as to make me EVER want to cruise again. Fast forward to...

    Skipping parades and fireworks?

    I LOVE MSEP, Wishes and Illuminations so try to catch them each one time per trip...just doesn't seem like a complete Disney vacation for me without viewing them. I can skip the daytime parades and Fantasmic for the most part, although I do like to fit them into the schedule every couple of...

    Sanaa-"a just happened to see it restaurant"

    Sanaa is a "must do!" We usually make ressies for the afternoon, as we know the animals will be out and about and we can score a great window table. For the next trip, I am aiming to visit the restaurant a bit later (sundown) in order to appreciate a different prespective. All in all, Sanaa...

    Just snagged an ADR but not sure if it is worthwhile...

    I would vote to keep the Dessert Party reservations. Garden Grill is fun to an extent, but I truly believe that the Dessert Party outshines the GG experience. We did the dessert party in Oct. 2012 and loved it! Maybe you can work GG into your schedule on another day...

    Have you ever blacked out on a ride?

    Nope, never blacked out on a ride in WDW...

    Depth of pools at Typhoon Lagoon

    I'm not sure about the life vest question or whether you and your mom would be allowed to share a tube...I'm guessing NO? Just wanted to point out that the wave pool can be extremely forceful depending on where you are standing in it. You do not need to wade out too far to feel the pull of the...

    Fanny packs all around!

    Due to some weird rules, I find the NEED to wear a fanny pack only at the Universal parks. I don't (and won't) wear one at Disney as a personal choice, but I certainly wouldn't pass judgment on anybody who does. Do what best suits you and your family.

    Missed anything...?

    Since you are staying at POFQ (my fav. moderate) you may want to take advantage of the boat that goes to Downtown Disney and Port Orleans Riverside. It's a fun ride! Also, I would suggest checking out Elliot Dyson at POFQ & Bob Jackson at POR for FREE and GREAT musical entertainment.

    I hate ipads!!

    It's annoying enough with recording iphones and such blocking the view of fireworks. Ipads are a nightmare!

    Enhanced magic!!!

    I miss the "unexpected." I truly miss the days when characters would appear anywhere and sporadically without pre-formed lines. I also miss nostalgic things like the Penny Arcade and unique shops on Maine Street U.S.A. When I was a kid, the princess theme didn't overshadow everything in...

    Help me decide, August or Christmas?

    I would do August. I never thought we would ever do Florida in summer, but we did Disney a few times in August the past few years. We stayed onsite and did rope-drop every day, pool break in the afternoon (or Disney water park), then a park in the evening. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought...

    What is a Konk Cooler?

    I don't have a recipe, but it was delicious when I consumed it on our most recent cruise & stop at Serenity Bay! Yum!

    I like the cruise, parks, cruise, parks idea...maybe next trip.
