Just got back from a trip with our 18 month old DS and we stayed at the Dolphin. Got a great rate online and was able to take the boats or walk to DHS and Epcot which was amazing. He loved the pools there, too. There's also a little playground/jungle gym area, but we didn't have enough time to...

I don't know how I'm just finding this thread now, but we leave in less than 3 weeks! Can I be added to the list? 12/6-12/15 at the Dolphin

That's so fun! I did the OI meetup in April and it was fantastic. We'll be in DW for the December one, too, so I considered it, but this trip my 18 month old DS will be with us so I opted for just one night at MVMCP since I haven't done that yet. Both sounds like my dream trip though!<3 Maybe...

I live in an area where we can get pretty much any food, but I really stick to my favorite few at home. At Disney we mix it up more so even if it's a cuisine we can get at home, we splurge on stuff we usually wouldn't go for at home or explore a restaurant that has options we don't usually go...

Dying. I never even thought of this! :rotfl2:

This is a fair point! I've found it much easier to modify in the past than to obtain a FP for a popular ride from scratch. Not sure why this is, but it is frequently the case for me.

I'm a huge Swolphin fan. I had Gran Destino Tower booked for our December trip, but switched to the Dolphin for cheaper when I found a great rate. DH and I stayed there a few years back and we both loved the access to the Boardwalk and the ease of getting to DHS and Epcot. FWIW, we don't do...

Oh thanks for the warning! This whole planning with a baby thing is new to me so I appreciate any tips or things to look out for.

Oh no! We're staying at the Dolphin so I already bought ours and linked them since I thought he would need it for FPs! Ugh. Should have done more research. Also, yeah we'll probably do one for Mickey on one of our first two days and see how it goes. If he hates it then we won't schedule any...

This is a perfect breakdown! Thank you! I didn't even think about the fact that they don't get their own FP. Would he even need a magic band then?

Taking my son who will be 18 months to Disney for his first trip later this year. Having never gone with a baby, however, I'm not quite sure how the FP+ situation works when scheduling him for character meets. My husband and I never do photos with the characters except for our mandatory Crystal...

Fair point! I do always forget this so it's a good reminder. I think the only reliable thing I can count on judging by the last 12 months is that this kid will still always be on the move! :rotfl: He loves the pool so I'm thinking that's going to be a big chunk of our afternoons. I love just...

This sounds JUST like my son. He usually eats at 6 or later so that's perfect. And definitely whenever we mess with his schedule it ends in chaos, but when he decides to change up his own schedule we just go with the flow. I think scheduling dinners for us would be best bet and just go with the...

Love the two bags idea and good call on sticking with home meal times. Honestly it's so second nature here, but I didn't even think about that when it came to Disney! My son will be 18 months on our trip and he's a one nap a day kid usually after lunch. I'm crossing my fingers he'll be a...

I am so accustomed to planning adults-only trips to Disney since DH and I have been going for 10 years now pre-baby. Now that DS has come onto the scene, I'm totally confused about what to look for when planning our Disney trip schedule. Generally I split the day into AM and PM and for PM I pick...

The Minnie Vans don't go to off-site hotels though, right?

Oh boo! Okay so what's faster - getting dropped off at the TTC or dropping off at BLT and walking over?

So last time we visited WDW was back in 2016 and the Uber would drop us off at MK by the resort bus drop off, but couldn't pick us up from the area where the resort buses pick up from. I was wondering what's the best place to go for a pickup after I leave MK now. I'm staying off-property so I...

YUM! I'm always down for teriyaki.

Oooh these are great! Haven't been able to visit Satu'li yet, but I'm definitely making that a stop on this trip. Keep 'em coming! I've never heard of most of these so my list is growing.
