    Morning EMH at AK

    On days without EMH, are the buses still running as early? We have a 8am Wild Africa Trek, with arrival at the park required at 7:30am, on a day that has normal (9am) park opening. I am starting to panic about getting there on time from Contemporary, and wondering if there is a more reliable...

    Love DCL chicken tenders - do they have same ones at the parks?

    This question is actually for my DH who is obsessed with the DCL chicken tenders. We're headed to WDW in August & would love to find the same (or close to it) chicken tenders that they have on the ships. Any suggestions?

    Custom maps

    No, unfortunately they don't. I belive that once they went fully digital with the MDE app, they stopped doing it. We last got ours in January of 2015.

    Convince me to love Animal Kingdom

    Thank you again for all the ideas and opinions. I know that many were sure that one should not have to be convinced, but I am always willing to give things another try - I just wanted to do it pointed in the "right" direction. We are not park commandos by any means, but my eyes have really been...

    Convince me to love Animal Kingdom

    Perfect! I did a little reading up on it after your initial post, and that, plus this response has totally convinced me! Any thoughts on morning vs. afternoon? We're going in August, so it will be only marginally less hot in the morning. I've seen a mix of opinions around, but always have room...

    Convince me to love Animal Kingdom

    Great article - really addresses some of the great things that AK lovers in this thread have been mentioning while acknowledging why it isn't always a love at first visit kind of park for some. Thanks for sharing!

    Do you think it is appropriate for a 10yo? Are you in direct sun the whole time? I'd love to hear more about the tour in general...

    What are we missing in the World Showcase or Epcot in general?

    If it is still the same as the last time we did the passports (about 5 years ago). You have to purchase the passports & they come with stickers to place on each page, but the Duffy on a stick was free.

    Convince me to love Animal Kingdom

    Thanks all for the input. It really is helpful. I think I am looking to be convinced because we really love Disney, and it is unlike us to feel underwhelmed by them - I figured we were just missing something. Maybe it really is just a frame of mind thing because it is so unlike the other parks...

    Do you need FP for the shows?

    Convince me to love Animal Kingdom

    Our family (Me, DH, DD13, DD10) will be taking our 5th trip to WDW August 2017. Every trip, we spend a half day in AK before feeling like it isn't for us, and leaving to go somewhere else. But everyone we know loves this park. Like, passionately feels this is the best park ever, kind of love. We...

    We made it! We're sitting on the Magical Express & getting ready to go! Thanks for all who listened to me vent - I had to keep it all inside in front of the kids so they would keep it together, but I needed to get it out somewhere! I hope all you Feb folks have a great vacation!

    EXPIRED: Part ONE of 2015 CLUB LEVEL (CL) INFORMATION and HELP Thread DO NOT POST HERE!!!

    And to further that previous post- I just notice on the MDE app, that the reservation for tonight was not actually cancelled, so I just dialed the main WDW dining #. They disregarded the fact that I just a made the reservation through IPO and could not have had a fully day to cancel, and we're...

    EXPIRED: Part ONE of 2015 CLUB LEVEL (CL) INFORMATION and HELP Thread DO NOT POST HERE!!!

    We are loving the IPO folks right now! We have been stuck in the airport all day with a cancelled flight and a cruddy reassignment and have had to twice cancel our dinner reservations. They were able to help us first find a new reservation across two parks and all the resorts near ours. We also...

    *-Official February 2015 Thread-*

    It was Jet Blue and it was mechanical issues. They were able to get about 100 passengers on a 1:30 direct, the rest of us got stuck on horrible flights. Our options were a 2 hour bus ride to Boston, for a 5pm direct, or a 5pm from here connecting in DC to Tampa, then a van from Tampa to MCO. We...

    Ugh. Our flight was cancelled and they're trying to re-book an entire plane on various other flights. We would have been touching down in just a few minutes, but we haven't even left the airport! I am holding on, but the kids are starting to lose it. Just needed to vent...

    We're on our way to the airport! We're leaving behind a "feels-like" temperature of -15F and we'll be at BWI by lunchtime! I'm so excited!!!!

    Is DCL worth the extra money?

    I love Disney cruises, and I would have no hesitation going on one even without my children, especially on one of the newer ships that have even more options for adults only. However, I see the difference between DCL and Carnival the same as I feel about Disney Parks vs. Universal. I feel from...
