    Getting excited and keen to share my plans

    Packing for this trips are a science unto themselves! lol We also had a cruise while we were there last time (7 night Eastern Caribbean on the Disney Fantasy) and ended up ditching the 'formal' wear as it was going to tip our luggage over the edge. We also participated in the Fish Extenders so...

    WE'RE GOING HOME!!

    lol yep, we have been there a lot in December. The weather is almost identical to here in Brisbane for Autumn/Winter. Normally it's cool in the mornings and at night (maybe 10c-14c), but still gets pretty warm with max temp around 25c at about 3pm. Though being Florida, it's really hard to...

    WE'RE GOING HOME!!

    I'd love to hear any tips you have on doing the MVMCP. We've not been to one so it'll be brand new for us :) I'd imagine most of the tips would be similar between MVMCP and MNSSHP :D Such as watching the 2nd parade instead of the 1st and the quietest location is usually in Frontierland and...

    Getting excited and keen to share my plans

    Your plans look great for your family vacation :D We love WDW at Christmas time! The weather is normally wonderful and a nice respite from the heat over here, but with Florida, you can never rely on anything weather wise lol Some days we were in shorts, and others we were in jeans and heavy...

    WE'RE GOING HOME!!

    She got very quiet and just nodded her head and mumbled something about being a long time since she had been there. lol They just announced a 'bounce-back' deal for Free Dining so hopefully they'll have free dining for your dates as well. We are definitely going to take advantage of the deal...

    Trip planning for 2019

    1. Is it better to book flights online or through a travel agent? Sometimes better through a travel agent and sometimes better by yourself online. We have done both. The only time the travel agent got us a better deal was when we went to the Travel Expo and they saved us hundreds! I would...

    WE'RE GOING HOME!!

    Oh my goodness... I know exactly what you mean about the travel agents. I just had one tell me very excitedly that because of their company's great connections with Disney, she could get everyone Fast Passes for $75 per person per day!!!! That would be $300 per day for our family of 4...

    Best place to exchange currency Gold Coast Australia?

    We use Crown currency exchange. I believe there is one at Pacific Fair? There is definitely one at Harbour Town :p They always seem to have the best rate and have no fees.

    Disney's ALL-STAR MUSIC RESORT Information & Questions

    How comfortable did you find the beds at ASMu? We have stayed at Pop quite a few times in the past and really struggle most nights with the firmness of the beds there (rock hard every time :( definitely not the best nights sleep!) We have ASMu booked for 2 weeks in December this year and I'm...

    Shoreside concierge - request email

    Oh wow, that would be so fantastic if I was able to do that also! How did you book the gifts? What exactly did you say in the email? We are coming from Australia and it would be ridiculously expensive to send a fax from here to order them normally, and with our time differences, calling is...

    Feedback on the Edge for 11 year old?

    We are on the same cruise NewYorkcruiser :D It will also be the first time our 11 year old ds can attend the Edge. He is also quite sensitive and is definitely more of a 'gamer' than a 'sporty' kind of kid. If he decides to go to the clubs, I think he will be happy to have the freedom to go...
