    8 am opening, 8:15 ADR

    For those mentioning the Anna and Elsa fastpass...make sure you try the day you're in the park. We had like a 4 o'clock one in September (at the very very height of the Frozen freakout), and I was waiting in line at the Carousel with my daughter to waste some time, and I looked randomly for open...

    ToT - how scary?

    I do all the scariest of scary roller coasters...not a single one at all of Disney or Universal makes me even slightly scared. Except the Tower of Terror makes me screech a little with the unexpectedness of the drop. And it literally scared the barf (10 minutes later) out of my 5.5 year old...

    How embarassing - my daughter groped Ariel

    My daughter, who was 3 at the time, sneezed directly into Pocahontas' face. Like full on. She looked grossed out (I would too!) and wiped her face. I could only mutter "I'm sorry!" and we quickly left.

    June vs September

    I've been to Disney the week after school starts every year for the past 3 years. This year, I couldn't wait, and I'm doing it in the first week of June. I know the week in September I usually go is the lowest of the year...how much worse is it going to be the first week of June? Most kids...

    Early ADR - how do I get to the MK?

    I managed to get an 8:10 ADR for BOG on a day the MK opens at 9am. Last time we were there, we had an 8:30 at CP, but it was an EMH morning, so the Ferry started early. The Monorail wasn't open until later last time (the Ferry was our only option). How am i going to get to this 8:10 ADR? We're...

    Anyone have luck getting a table at Ohana earlier than ADR time?

    We had a 6:30 or something like that in September. We dropped my daughter off at the old Neverland Club (I forget what it's called now), and ended up being like 40 minutes early for our reservation. We checked in, just for fun, since I had heard on these boards that it usually ran late. The guys...

    Has anyone seen the "news" going around about being able to keep the towel animals Mousekeeping make

    We got a mouse, or maybe a cat? Something like that, that wasn't really well done, in the first couple of days...my daughter was thrilled. The next morning I told her to thank Housekeeping, but they moved too fast...so after some sad tears that she didn't get to say thank you, I let her run...

    Be Our Guest Restaurant - Which do you prefer?

    Dinner. We did both our last trip, and lunch felt rushed and impersonal. And dark. Dinner was also dark, but there was a new...ambiance even though the place looked the same. We did get in right away for lunch, and was about 40 minutes late on dinner. Rough going with a 5-year old....I think...

    Hollywood & Vine

    If it's anything like breakfast, stay far far away. We were there for 10 days on free dining, so we tried a lot of restaurants...and Hollywood & Vine was by far the worst. The characters were fine, but the food was below sub-par. My stoic 5- year old ended up getting sick all over herself about...

    For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along

    You get really great seats if you do have a FP. We were off to the left, two rows in...and best of all, we were able to move to the end of the row so that my daughter could see over the head of the tall adults in the front row. I liked using the FP because it was a guarantee...and with a five...

    Any luck getting A&E or Belle day or 2 before visit?

    We were there two weeks ago, and I had Belle for Tuesday, and Anna & Elsa for Thursday. On Tuesday, I thought I'd be a smart alec and check and see if there was an A&E available while I was waiting for my daughter and husband to come off the carousel...and lo and behold there was, about 30...

    Am I crazy for wanting to give up BOG?

    We did both dinner and lunch last week (lunch first). Not only is the food only "okay" at lunch, the atmosphere is completely different. Because it's half self-serve, half full-serve, lunch has a hectic, cafeteria feel to it. Dinner is worth it. The feeling is like night and day compared...

    Restaurant opinions

    We just got back last week, and combined with our last trip, here's my opinions: 1. Be Our Guest was worth the wait...the food was fantastic. Lunch was very meh, but dinner...yum. 2. Via Napoli - this was a last minute choice, and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend the pizza...

    Club Disney

    We just got back from a night off with my daughter at Club Disney...it was so awesome. She had the most amazing time, the CMs were super attentive, and she even got some cute swag to take home. At $15/hr, it was cheaper than having a kid come to our house at home, so I would seriously recommend...

    MNSSHP tuckets

    I bought these at home...I can't remember if I had the option to receive tickets or not. They're linked to my MDE, I can see them in the app. Do I have to print something out to bring with me? Or will they have them on my MagicBand?

    What surprises do kids get at POR?

    Nope, we're not celebrating anything special, and I wasn't expecting anything...although, I suppose I was since my assumption was that something was provided. I was not, however, basing that assumption on what somebody else had told me, but on what I had experienced. I guess I'm assuming...

    How do I request a Bldg # for POFQ?

    Unless you need something specific (ie Riverview), I wouldn't even bother...the resort is so small, that anything you need will be less than a 5 minute walk, even from the furthest buildings. I spent hours agonizing about which building to request, and in the end ended up not making a...

    What surprises do kids get at POR?

    So getting on a high horse is the answer? I wasn't arguing, I was stating my point - every kid got it, there were loads of them there, piles even (I am not exaggerating). We even went back to get a couple that were hanging on the check in desks for kids to take. That sure doesn't sound like...

    What surprises do kids get at POR?

    Ugh, why does every random question on this bloody board turn into condescension??! I asked because it's what we got last time, without asking, and my assumption was that was the norm. EVERY kid in line that day got them people, I had no way of knowing it wasn't all the time. As for the comment...

    What surprises do kids get at POR?

    That would make sense if they weren't hanging by the dozens on the desk, including the unmanned ones. The lady at the pool bar even gave her one. We had half a dozen when we headed home, and there or four have survived multiple daytrips. The pirate hats are talked about on the web, and...
