    May Trip - What to expect?

    So we have been numerous times pre-COVID. We're trying to decide if it's worth going this May when the kids get out of school like we've done in the past. Based on the info I've seen it seems more worthwhile to just stay off-site at a house with a pool vs on-site right now. Is every ride at...

    March Trip Thoughts Suggestions

    Thanks so much for the great advice! We're thinking flying is for sure the way to go! I'm not a huge fan of flying, so we're planning to drive 6 hours to Dallas, TX and fly nonstop to John Wayne vs doing a 1 stop (more expensive) flight from our home airport. We also have reason to drive down to...

    March Trip Thoughts Suggestions

    Thinking of flying directly to John Wayne Aiport for a week long trip. We are WDW vets, but this will be the 1st time at DL. I've got lots of Starwood Points that can be redeemed at either Starwood or Mariott Properties. I'm hoping to stay close by DL for 5 nights (We get the 5th night free)...

    Touring resorts with no park ticket and staying off-site?

    We are doing a little different trip this year and not going to any of the "Big 3". We have a day in Orlando and I thought it might be fun to explore some of the resorts, since we rarely spend time doing this while doing to park thing unless eating dinner at one. Are you allowed to tour the...

    Vacation Plan

    We are driving down and in the area July 3rd and leaving the 10th. Here our itinerary as it stand currently. We won a condo at a charity auction and in hindsight regret it as it made more send to move around to avoid traffic etc. We still are not out a ton. We purchased the Tampa Citypass...

    Worth paying the price for 1 day (July 4th)?

    I think I know the answer (not worth it). But wanted to get opinions. We'll be down doing a different style of trip this time over July 4th. We are splitting our trip between Orlando, Clearwater, Tampa. We only have 1 full day available to do anything in Orlando. I know Kong will be open and...

    Fastpass + Date for Nov 28th Arrival

    We check-in on November 28th this year. I know my date is very soon, but I want to double check with you guys to make sure I have it right. I'm figuring Tuesday September 30th right? So the 29th I'd want to stay up late and at 11:01am our time starts. We are in CST.

    Dining Suggestion at Downtown Disney

    Thanks for the advice! We've decided to take on the advice of the majority here and removed our PH ADR for Raglan Road. I think I recall you can get a deep fried snickers here, but maybe that's somewhere else.

    Dining Suggestion at Downtown Disney

    We plan to be there on 12/1 after a day at Animal Kingdom. We're already done the Rainforest Cafe/T-Rex to death, so we're looking for something new to try. Any suggestions? Wife already vetoed Splitsville. We were thinking Planet Hollywood?

    Theme Park Strollers vs Other Companies

    We have 2 kids that will be 5 and 7 (nearly 8) when we go in Nov/Dec. Would you suggest just renting strollers in the parks if needed or getting something from Magic Strollers or Orlando strollers. I don't think we'll need it while outside the park as they can handle our local theme park...

    I'm in the same boat. Only have 22 more pts till another gift card. These are all going to our Christmas trip this year. I'm surprised they still have it. Maybe it's permanent now....

    Safe family neighborhoods near Disney?

    That is SO true. I work in IT,so I'm sure there is need for IT at Disney. Actually, 20 pages worth if you look on their job site LOL. Part of me wonders if working for Disney would take away some of the magic when going there. It would be so awesome to be able to attend all the special events...

    Safe family neighborhoods near Disney?

    For the post above did you husband get a job in IT? My wife and I have really been thinking about this lately. We currently live in MO and have been here our whole life, but our love of Disney and the Orlando area brings us there at least once per year and it gets expensive. It would save...

    Wishes Dessert Party ADR Watch Thread #3-book @ 180 Days Now!

    The thing that stinks is that when you 180 comes up 10 days prior worth of arrivals have had a chance to book your day. I think that's why there was nothing left when my time came up. I went right there at 5am.
