    "If this is your first trip, you're spoiled!" (Sept. 2019 TR)

    Joining in! My SIL wants us to plan a family trip with my DH’s parents (who are divorced and don’t get along), his 3 brothers, their wives, our 9 nieces/nephews, the two of us, and our 3 kids. You read that right...22 people, many of whom don’t get along. So no. Not happening. I’m reading along...

    Favorite Arrival Night Dinner/FP or Where would you recommend?

    On our last trip, we arrived mid-afternoon. We had dinner at 5:30 at the Wave at CR. Followed that up with the Pirates and Pals fireworks cruise. It was the perfect start to our trip! The Wave is great, and rarely crowded. The cruise was really fun and a nice way to see the fireworks and meet...

    Following along! Love the nail polish!! I was hoping for good things about the Storybook Dining, but based on how it's starting, I'm rethinking trying to book it for our next trip!

    LIVE trip report! BLT 8/15 - 8/27. WHO SAYS YOU CANT HAVE ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST?

    We love the Wave! One of our best meals ever was there before a Pirates and Pals Cruise. Seems like it isn't talked about as much as some other places, but we think it's great!

    Rivers of Light package at Tiffins

    I’m considering this for out next trip, but not sure my picky 11 year old will eat from the adult menu. How are they with Disney “adults” on the DDP ordering from the kids menu?

    SWIMMIMG?

    We were there in January and the kids use the pool at AoA. But, we're from Iowa so 50s and 60s felt like summer coming from 0s and negative temps!

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    I'm glad you had a great experience at 1900PF. That's the one place my kids refuse to go back to after a horrible experience there a few years ago. When we went, the food was horrible - cold, bland, just bad. The characters were not great either. There was little to no interaction, no matter...

    Planning a trip for 2021

    I'm following along as we are looking at going in late January/early February of 2021 as well. We haven't been since 2016, but my son won a "free" (hahaha) trip so we are going to make use of it! I did see that 2021 is the 50th anniversary year, so to expect higher crowds, but I'm not sure if...

    What happened to road trips?

    We just got back from a 2 week road trip through Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado! We don't fly unless it's to Disney, which would be a LONG drive and we want to make the most of our park time. Flights here are expensive, and there is a lot to see out there, so road trips make for a great...

    Free Dining Feb?

    I don't think promotions for that time are announced yet. We are going in late January, and based on previous years, I expect to see any promotions come out around October.

    The Never Ending Dining Review! Feb/April 2015 Update: Cowish

    Glad you are back! We ate at Pinocchio in 2013 and didn't like it at all, but it looks like the food has changed since then. We may have to give it another try!

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    Absolutely call and have it added. I requested a specific LK building for our last trip and we got it. It's never guaranteed, but they will do what they can. We are doing the Cars suites this time, and I think we will just request a view not a building since we really don't care which...

    The little astronauts...

    Unfortunately this did change, at least according to our congressman's office. We did this back in 2013 and it was great. Looked into it again for our January trip, and we are going to have to pay for tickets this time. Still definitely worth it with space nuts in the family, especially since...

    Luggage tags question

    No, you don't need to use them. You will have to take your bags with you to ME since you won't be coming from an airline. The driver will help you load them underneath the bus and then unload them when you get to your resort. We did this on our last trip after returning a rental car from a...

    Garden Grill or Crystal Palace for breakfast?

    Yes you can make ADRs for breakfast at GG in January. I made one today for our trip on 1/25. :)

    Dumb question about January

    Pools will be open, and are heated. Whether it's warm enough depends on 1) the year 2) where you are from. When we went in 2013, we thought it was great for swimming (we are from Iowa). Other people were walking around in sweatshirts and jeans. We are used to it being below 0 in January, so...

    WWYD: BoG or CP Breakfast?

    I would do CP. We love the breakfast there, and it's Pooh and friends, which is really cute. I don't think 3 pre-opening ADRs is too much at all. We are also early risers, and we love to do pre-opening ADRs. For our next trip I have 4 booked out of 5 days (Tusker, CP, Akershus, and H&V). We...
