    Tusker House for breakfast or lunch?

    Same characters at both meals. I have heard excellent things about both meal times! Either way it is a win win!~

    MK help

    I think if you are there at rope drop, yes, go straight to ETWB. I am not sure what FPV is, I assume it is "Fast Pass something". Peter Pan was about a half an hour wait when we were there in February. In looking at your plan, it seems like you are doing a lot of walking back and forth. If you...

    with a little work....not a bad "last minute" plan

    Have heard great things about Rose and Crown as well as Via Napoli! We love San Angel as well! No experience with Biergarten but if something great comes along, I would drop that one. You won't know any better anyway!

    How to eat without a Disney Dining Plan

    Realistically, you can eat in any restaurant you want, even paying out of pocket. The sit down places will still require a reservation though. We were there in February and were able to get a table at Liberty Tree Tavern without a ressie though.

    Park Capacity Closing/Reopening Times from Christmas to NYE Day?

    Mk closed by 11am on the 31st in 2008. It did open back up briefly. It did reach capacity on the 30th but only briefly then they reopened the gates. Have a lot of patience and remember, you are in the happiest place on earth...

    Want to plan a family trip and overwhelmed!

    How exciting!!! There is so much information, it can seem overwhelming. If you take it slow and try to enjoy it, you will be fine. It is really a personal preference as far as best resort. You can start making ADR 180 days from check in if you are staying on property. The restaurant choices are...

    if we eat here, what is the best parade/fireworks etc

    The 23rd and 25th are the nights for MNSSHP so you will need to be out of ML early. 25th you seem set, maybe after dinner at DTD you could do some shopping and walk around down there. Make sure you don't miss Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios. You can try looking at touringplans.com and they will...

    Crystal Palace or Ohana breakfast

    I agree- go for Ohana breakfast. The character's are great and pose for pics. My DD had breakfast at Tusker and said it was amazing! Make sure if you go to Kona you have the Tonga toast

    What is your favorite MK restaurant?

    Have you considered one of the monorail resorts instead of eating in MK? Chef Mickeys in Contemporary is nice, Ohana in the Polynesian is also good. There is 1900 Park Fare which is a character meal at Grand Floridian. Chef Mickey's is a character meal for dinner where Ohana is not. Happy...

    What do you think of these ADRS?

    Sounds like a great trip and glad you are doing things that you want to do..often we overlook ourselves! As far as counter service in Magic Kingdom there are several good options: Pecos Bill Cafe - lots of table seating upstairs and the food is good; Columbia House- really good food here...

    First time trip....how do my adr's look??

    T-Rex- we have eaten there twice now. You cannot beat the atmosphere and animatronics of the dinosaurs--especially if you have a son! It is amazing. The food is good, along the lines of Rainforest Cafe menu, but haven't had a bad meal. Our only minutia complaint would be the last time we were...

    First time trip....how do my adr's look??

    It is so exciting planning your first Disney Trip! Your dining reservations sound great. If you plan on doing a dinner the day you are in Animal Kingdom, maybe try to move your Tusker House to the earlier time you mentioned and then do dinner. Do you have a parkhopper pass? Animal Kingdom most...

    Teensy bit annoyed now

    I wouldn't spend one more minute worrying about it. DME is notorious for sending out documents without flight information that has already been given. Just proceed the the Magical Express counter at the airport and they will take care of you with all the Disney magic they can muster! Enjoy your...

    Book thru travel agent or myself???

    I, too, have both booked myself and used a travel agent. I prefer the agents from Magical Travel. They always keep track of the discounts after booking and will automatically change your reservation for you if it benefits you. The way I look at it is, it doesn't cost you anything out of your...

    funniest moments!

    There are so many funny things to choose from. Oddly enough most thanks to my DD who is now 15. On her first trip we stayed at GF and the maid had come in for turndown and left a chocolate wrapped in gold foil, DD gets to the room and says "look mome, the maid left us butter"! Same trip my DH...

    First Timer Going Crazy Planning

    By the time you get to Adventureland in the evening, the line for the Jungle Cruise could be quite long. Just a suggestion, during the day as you use your current fast pass, send a volunteer (willing or unwilling) with everyone's tickets to grab fast pass for another attraction. Stitch's Great...
