    Can I pre order embroidered ears?

    I went to Disney Floral and yes, they must be a part of a very expensive gift basket, and I need 4. The shop Disney app can get me just the ears, but they will not be embroidered. I have a friend going in a few months, hopefully I can convince her to maybe get the hats at The Chappeau while...

    Can I pre order embroidered ears?

    We have a pre park breakfast scheduled for our first morning at Disney. We will be arriving the night before. I would love a family pic in front of the castle with low early morning crowds, and all of us in our embroidered ears. I won't have time to get these at Disney before our breakfast...

    Viewing fireworks (California Grill dinner and deck vs Contemorary 4th floor)

    Thanks for the info. Yes we will have park hoppers, so I have a feeling we might hop on over to MK and watch fireworks if we are back at our resort by then. Our boys are 12 and 14, so they will be able to stay up late with us this trip. Thanks again!

    Viewing fireworks (California Grill dinner and deck vs Contemorary 4th floor)

    My family will be staying at Bay Lake Towers in March. We will not have access to the Top of the World Observation deck. I'm trying to decide if it is worth it to make dining reservations at the California Grill, so that we can see the fireworks from their outdoor decks. What is the...

    At Disney during free dining, but no free dining left. What's the best way to keep checking?

    Right now we are scheduled for 11/16-11/22. Our first choice would be 11/15-11/21, but I couldn't find a room for those dates. All I can find around those dates is free dining with a club level room. We just want to pay for a standard room. I'll keep checking and playing with alternate...

    At Disney during free dining, but no free dining left. What's the best way to keep checking?

    We are booked at the Poly in November. Free dining was announced, but it was all sold out at the Poly before I could get it. I know it's possible for some more rooms with free dining to open up. What's the easiest way to check for this on a daily basis? Do I just have to keep going to the...

    Extra Magic Hours - Do these make the parks more or less crowded?

    I have a friend planning a Disney trip this November (week before Thanksgiving). Can you tell me if a park is more or less crowded on Extra Magic Hour days? I'm trying to help her plan out which days she should spend at which parks, and I'm not sure how extra magic hours affect crowds. Also...

    Best Family Vacation Yet...

    We are planning a trip for March 2017 during our Spring Break. I am concerned about crowds. We have an early Spring Break, which should help a little. We will be there March 4-9. What dates were you there, and how were the crowds? Sounds like you had an amazing trip!!!

    I'm home. Severely depressed. Spring Break was a nightmare

    I am so sorry to hear about your trip. Can you tell me what dates in March you were there? We always go on a very low crowd time (the week prior to Thanksgiving week in November). However, it is getting harder and harder to pull our kids out of school. We are planning a trip for March 2017...

    1 bedroom villa at BLT vs 2 rooms at POR

    Thanks so much! All of these comments confirm my initial thoughts on the 1 bedroom BLT villa. I think that is what we will go with.

    1 bedroom villa at BLT vs 2 rooms at POR

    Yes that is true. I would be hoping for connecting rooms, which I know can't be guaranteed. If our rooms were not connecting, that would be a bummer!

    1 bedroom villa at BLT vs 2 rooms at POR

    I asked a similar question a few days ago, and everyone was so helpful. I've narrowed my choice down to either a 1 bedroom Bay Lake Tower villa OR 2 rooms at Port Orleans Riverside. Pros to BLT, my husband and I get a king bed, we will have laundry, walking distance to MK, monorail access...

    Booking 2 rooms vs 1 suite

    Oops I meant villa (not suite). I think I'm going to book a 1 bedroom BLT villa, while they are still available. The kids can have the queen fold out sofa and twin fold out chair. We can have the king size bedroom. BLT hardly ever has discounts. I'll watch for any specials at other resorts...

    Booking 2 rooms vs 1 suite

    We are planning our 3rd trip to Disney for March 2017. Our boys will be 12 and 14. Last time we stayed for a week at the Wilderness Lodge. We had a great time, but by the end of the week we were all wishing we had our own space. We would love for the boys to have their own tv, bedroom area...

    November: Better before T-giving or after?

    My favorite week is the week prior to Thanksgiving week. For 2016, that would be the week of Monday 11/17-Friday 11/21. The holiday decorations have just gone up and they are breathtaking! The weather is so nice and comfortable. Very low crowds. We could just walk up to some rides with no...

    March 5-10, 2017 Crowds?

    Hello! We usually go to Disney, the week BEFORE Thanksgiving week. We love the cool weather, very low crowd levels, and seeing the Christmas decorations. We had been taking our boys out of school for 3 days, so that we could enjoy that week. Now that they are older, it is just really hard for...

    Please help me pick which week in November!

    The 16th-23rd will be better. The previous week will see higher crowds from Veterans Day weekend and the Food and Wine Festival. We just went the week prior to thanksgiving week 2 months ago. It was great! Really low crowds, nice temps, the Christmas decorations were up. We rarely even had...

    November

    We were there that same week this year. We were there Nov. 13th - 20th. Such a perfect time to go! Low crowds, nice cool weather, gorgeous Christmas decorations. We left Disney just as the mass crowds were comi g for Thanksgiving. My boys ages 10 and 7, did swim. We stayed at the...

    What if 2 people on my ADR don't show up?

    That's what surprised me too! They were able to change our chef Mickey and O'Hanas to a party of 6. However there was no availability at our Crystal Palace reservation. Good to know that others did not get any grief if someone decided not to show. I guess when the say they won't seat...
