    What's everyone doing for the 50th?

    We are planning to be there on the actual date purely by accident - our daughter’s birthday is the 30th September and we were planning for that! Hoping it won’t be too chaotic but we will make the most of it anyway.

    Are we still Esta-ed?

    We had a similar situation - in the end it was easier to just reapply for all of us so they were the same expiry (had to add our 2nd child too). And print off the documentation to keep with the passports ;)

    New Years Eve at Disney

    We did MK on the 30th and DHS on the 31st - but that was because I wanted to see the Osbourne Lights as well - don't think they are there anymore :( Then we actually park hopped to MK because they had EMH until 2 or 3am and it was awesome!

    Tell me about V&A's Queen Victoria Room...

    We went to the main dining room at Q&A a few years back and when they phoned a few days prior I told them no mushrooms or seafood for me and no tomatoes for hubby :) they tailored the menu to suit us and it was awesome!

    Toy Story Mania for Toddlers

    We did TSMM at DCA last year when our daughter was 22 months and I'm 99% sure she sat on my lap. We did try some glasses on her but she just played with them. There were heaps of rides we were able to go on with her at DLR which was great, having just come from Legoland in the U.K. where she...

    Please tell me about the Ratatouille Ride!

    It looks like fun! Is it fairly new to DLP? I don't remember it being there when I went for a brief visit in 2013, but perhaps the queues were too long for me to consider going on it (never managed to get on crush either, it was closed in 2012 and too busy in 2013).

    Eat to the Beat Concert Series -------- Who are these bands?

    I'm 33 and barely know any of them... but then my music knowledge is pretty awful. My husband would probably know them all, he's that person that seems to be able to recognise any song from just a line or two regardless of genre. I do know who Postmodern Jukebox are because I've seen quite a...

    Childbirth is not a stage show?

    I could not imagine anything worse than that many people being present whilst I was in labour! My hubby was lucky I wanted him there (and to be honest he didn't do much, he took a nap on the bed at one point!) even the midwife was relatively hands off. There was a NICU doctor lurking behind the...

    NEWS 5/17: Late 2019 itineraries released - link in post #1 (2020 watch thread will start soon)

    I have my fingers crossed for a September 2019 WBTA cruise similar to the 2018 itinerary (Dover to NY) - the dates and start/end points would be perfect for our 2019 adventure, shame we can't go next year! I notice this year it is out of Barcelona - is the Dover a once off or do they switch it...

    ToyStory land/Star Wars land opening

    Oh god.... I kind of assumed they'd move Star Tours into the new SW lands at both parks... if I tell my husband they might be getting rid of the ride altogether/retheming it then he will actually cry. It's his favourite and he'd ride it all day if he could (I can't even do it, makes me motion...

    "I Think I Might Be a Disneyland Person!" - Feb. 2016 ~ Updated 2/19/21: TR Complete!!!

    I'm catching up! Just finished reading Aulani so I thought I'd pop over to this one next! We stayed at HoJos last year when we went but definitely looking at staying at the BW PPI next time we stopover in LA. I try to visit my sister in Boston every year (not this year tho, boo) and Disneyland...

    "I'm NOT a Princess, I'm Izzy!" - May '15 Land/Sea ~ Updated 6/4: Link to Disneyland TR!!!

    Hi, I enjoyed your TR - I started reading it because we also have an Izzy that would say the same thing! Our Isobel is 2.5yrs and has been to DLR twice but not WDW yet - we are planning a big trip for her 5thh birthday in 2019, with a cruise as well, so it was great to see how yours went. We...

    Kadani vs AKL main building

    It's about a 5-10min walk depending on where you are in Kidani. We had a great view of the savanna there but I think I would have preferred to stay at Jambo if I'd had the option - next time I'll be going with young kids so think Jambo will be better. It's just closer to the amenities.

    Pregnant High School Senior Denied Attendance At Graduation Ceremony

    I have to wonder if she had chosen to have an abortion, whether the school would have let her march at graduation? Because if so, then they need to really look hard at their disciplinary procedures. If she broke the rule of no premarital sex then the discipline should be the same regardless of...

    What's the longest you've waited in line at DLR or WDW?

    My husband refuses to wait longer than 30 Mins for any ride. So if the posted wait time is more than that we don't ride. Luckily I'm the planner with the fast passes haha! We've waited longer for Harry Potter at IoA because I didn't want to miss the castle by going through the single rider line...

    Tell me your experience with a 5 yo and walking vs stroller

    This is what I did when I went to DLR both times with my daughter. Just parked it up in a land and did all the rides we wanted to do then fetched it to move onto the next land. Next time we go to WDW she will be turning 5 and I'll have a 2yr old so will still need a stroller. Ours has an option...

    I just booked! Going to Shanghai, Hong Kong and Tokyo-update Disneyland Shanghai day 5 - 01/06

    I'm excited to read your trip report! I'd like to do a similar trip one day, although that is a while off as we have WDW planned for 2019. So maybe 2021! I've been to HK before and seen several of the big tourist sites but not to the Disney park there - we were with friends and they picked Ocean...

    What is one souvenir in Disney World that you have always wanted?

    Haha we have that cup - my 2yr old is obsessed with it! I've seen some lovely artwork but can't bring anything too big home because we live in New Zealand. I'd love one of the Dooney bags though and I'm not even a handbag person at all. Next time I'm going to get a Disney pandora bracelet. I...

    Is a split stay worth it?

    On our honeymoon we did a split stay of 4 nights each - WL, BCv and AKV. Mostly because I couldn't decide where I wanted to stay the most! I'm not sure I would have done that with kids though. We will be going with kids next time and I really love WL and AKL and want to stay at both but I'm...

    What age did you first bring your kids to Disney?

    I took my daughter to DL for the first time when she was 10 months (just her and me). My sister lives in Boston and I live in New Zealand so Los Angeles is a stopover for us when I visit her. I know she won't remember it but I loved just being able to explore and play with her and see her...
