    Does going during June really suck?

    Hello! I work at a school and can't take vacation during the school year. All of our past trips were taken in Sept, Oct and Nov and they were great crowd wise. This year we are going the first week of June and I am so nervous that the crowds will be awful. We are doing 3 days at US/IOA and...

    Looking for saving tips for fall '17 trip.

    I think all these options are great advice. We have actually stayed in 2 rooms when we went on an extended family trip at Carribean beach and it was good. We kept the door open and it's really like on big area. I would do it again!

    Yep, I would do this! He is still your "baby" and this is a family trip. I have large age gaps in my children and I always make sure the focus is on all their interests, not just mine (not that that is what you are doing, but if he is set on US and you are set on taking a vacation while he is...

    As I was standing in line at DHS...

    Wow! If they built a "star wars land" similar to how US did Harry Potter with making it a whole "street", that would be EPIC. People would come from near and far. Add a restaurant or two plus several gift shops and they are back in the game. If they also added a Pixar land complete with...

    Disney Ethics - another WWYD? Thread

    I don't think it's rude to save spots for the parades. If a member or two of your party is willing to miss other attractions to sit and wait, then they should be able to save seats for the rest of your families. I find it more rude for people who aren't willing to wait, to try and shove in...

    What do you bring with you to the water parks?

    hmmm, I too was going to bring a stroller to the water parks, not because we need it so much there but because we are headed to DTD after one of them and Cape May/EP after the other.

    Are water shoes necessary at the Water Parks?

    We've been to Disney several times now and this Sept is our first time at both water parks! I have read conflicting statements as to needed water shoes or just wearing flip flops are fine. We typically don't wear water shoes so we don't own any, but want to buy them before out trip if we need...

    dp or no dp. thats the ?

    We love the DP. We only go when it's "free" though. I like to order what ever I want on vacation and my kids are great (and adventurous) eaters. Dining is part of our disney magic and I wan't skimp on that because it would be ME who was having to skimp. We don't always eat dessert so we ask...
