    summer park hours?

    Not really. Park hours can change right up to the day - we've had park hours extended whilst in the park. I do the same freak out dance every time we are planning our trip, and every time I am reminded by the BF that the times will change, park hours will get later. It drives me a little crazy...

    Japan pick a pearl settings

    for anyone who is keen on the Cinderella carriage setting but not so sure about the price point (like me!!) you can get lovely versions on Etsy for much much less. I used a company called AOS design, but there are a few out there that do similar items. OP -truly such a lovely idea. hope you all...

    Are we finally sailing? The Disney Difference Sep/Oct 2016 it's a wrap!

    That is a fantastic line up of hotels. We're staying at Kidani for the first time late September, really looking forward to spending some time there. Funnily enough we'll be at VGF at the same time as you - we're there from 27 September to 7 October, maybe we'll get to say hi :) I hope you're...

    Walt Disney Company increases stake in EuroDisney

    Yup - a restaurant with a bar, in my dream world it would be but ToT and themed to that, which would be amazing. Its great that there are a couple of new options in the Village, but sometimes I just want to stay in the park and enjoy the ambiance. one day - we can dream! They just announced...

    Walt Disney Company increases stake in EuroDisney

    This news really excited me. DLRP is great, but some parts need dragging out of the 90's. Studios needs help. Its a car park with a couple of good rides. No decent food, needs a nice place to chill with a drink. Its the worst of all the Disney parks. on the upside, Crush coaster is great, and...

    Goodbye Wishes! Hello Happily Ever After!

    For all those concerned about the introduction of projections into the nighttime spectacular, have a look at what they do in Disneyland Paris. Disney Dreams has been running since the 20th anniversary and is just gorgeous. They are about to get an upgrade for the 25th anniversary with better...

    Camera advice needed.

    Those photos are gorgeous. Thank you very much for your tips, so super helpful. For that quality of photo I think I can handle the extra weight of the camera! Thank you for that breakdown, really helpful. I think I need to go have a play with these and see what works for me. I've used Canon...

    Are we finally sailing? The Disney Difference Sep/Oct 2016 it's a wrap!

    Just finished reading - what a great TR! Will keep my fingers crossed for you to swap your 7 days to WL or BLT - BLT is the place we are thinking of adding on with (we're fellow Grand Flo DVC owners - like you, love those studios) its so lovely. The studios are a bit smaller but really well laid...

    Camera advice needed.

    Thank you. Lens - I use the kit lens which is the EF-M 18-55 (f3.5-5.6) that I tend to only use daytime / outside, and my pancake lens that does better at night - EF-M 22, F2. The 18-55 manages up to 2500 without going terribly grainy, with the pancake I can go higher, but not massively. Both...

    Camera advice needed.

    Mind if I piggy back on with a question? I currently use a mirrorless system - the Canon EOS-M. It has served me well but I think I've outgrown what I can get out of it, I need a camera that is a little better for night shots & my EOS-M doesn't have the ISO that I am finding I need. Would...

    Disney After Hours (1/20/2017) Event Report. (#45 2/2 night)

    looks like you had a great night. We did the event in May last year and had such a good time, as you said, everything was a walk on once the day guests left, and the opportunities for photos were amazing. I'm in the market for a new camera, mind if I ask what camera you are waiting for?

    Pros and Cons about AKL

    Split stays are super easy, and Disney even transfer your luggage for you. Just call bag services, tell them you are transferring hotels & your bags are usually over in the new hotel after 4pm for check in. Caveat - we tend to be out of the hotel by 8am, so late checkout might lead to a later...

    Trouble planning a longer trip. How do you spend your days?

    We're international visitors, Brits, and culturally vacations are 2 weeks as standard. The shortest trip we took was 9 nights, as an emergency need a bit of pixie dust break, and we concentrated just on WDW so we could make sure we go everything we wanted to do done. We're 2 adults, no kids. We...

    (More) Alcohol Coming to MK

    I feel like I should confess - Hi I'm LumosQ and I've been drunk in the Magic Kingdom. A few times, actually, after a nice dinner at V&A, with the wine pairings, then toddled off to the Magic Kingdom afterwards for a lovely end to the evening. Or a few post dinner cocktails at Sams / one of the...

    Misting fans?

    Please tell me there is a way around this?!

    If you have your old magic bands & are still the same party traveling with the same My Disney Experience account(s) then you can get straight on with the fun stuff. Love the Poly, and as the PP said, so convenient for the TTC - I'd recommend walking there to get the monorail to Epcot too...
