There's also a single-day option for Memory Maker, since you say you're going just for one day. Once you have a Photopass photographer scan your band and take your picture, you'll see the photos start coming up in your My Disney Experience account. You can purchase a single-day pass that will...

We typically have breakfast at our hotel, then head to EPCOT once our bags are packed. We do a few favorite things (based on my son's interests on that trip - last time our must-do was a final visit to the manatees in The Seas pavilion), try to grab a good meal (because Burger King at the...

1 - Yes, you can link to each other via My Disney Experience and the photos can all be gathered together there. 2 - It all depends on the time of day, the flow of foot traffic, etc. We've waited for a group or two to have their photos taken before us, and we've also just strolled up to the...

Ooh. I've never stayed at either, but I can tell you that Grand Floridian looks lovely all done up for Christmas. So very pretty. My sister stayed there a few years back and absolutely loved it, and we were impressed by the room when we popped in for a visit. I've just never been able to justify...

I'm also asthmatic, so I know how easy it can be to miss a respiratory illness because you assume it's just asthma flaring up. It's good that you went to the doc and are on the mend. Like many have said, since your doc sees no problem with you going, I say go and have a blast. But definitely...

Money matters. Honest disclosure: I've never stayed at AoA - we visited the hotel when it was brand new and thought the theming was fun, but the resort itself is ENORMOUS and made me think of a (very colorful) warehouse. There, you've only got a quick service restaurant, so your options are...

At quick service restaurants, nobody polices the meals - you could eat a kid's meal, if you wanted. So sure, your 13 year old can still have those foods at that portion. But at table service restaurants, I don't think you can order directly off the kid's menu unless you are a Disney kid...

You should be able to call and cancel it. A package can be changed/cancelled without penalty/fee until it's fully paid for - which is 30 days before your trip starts. If you're further out than that, you're in the clear. :)

If you're happy with that plan, stick with it. Enjoy your breakfasts and your characters and everything. :) As for quick serve meals, we like to have a sense of what might be nearby based on where we'll be (with FastPasses and such) at any given time. So once we hit the World Showcase at EPCOT...

That Light Minute Maid Lemonade (pomegranate flavored or otherwise) never made any sense to me. It's got high-fructose corn syrup, so - no good for diabetics or the health-conscious or people otherwise avoiding corn syrup. But it ALSO has artificial sweetener in it (aspartame - which is the same...

If one of your kids has a strong opinion, I'd consider it... but that said, I think the Yacht Club is the perfect place to stay with teens because THAT POOL. And so close to EPCOT. And Hollywood Studios. AND THE POOL! :) (What I'm saying here is, will your daughter get more out of the appearance...

The weekend after Thanksgiving has typically been busy through Saturday. By Sunday, many visitors to the World are heading home, and the following week has typically been fairly quiet. If you're literally thinking of arriving Thanksgiving and staying through Sunday, you'll see pretty high crowds...

What is it about caesar that she objects to? The cheese and dressing can be left off a caesar easily (even at quick service!). If they have tomato/carrot/cucumber - and most table service restaurants of course will - that should be an easy request for them to meet. Or if you're at a quick...

Are we talking table service or quick service? Most restaurants that have a chicken or turkey sandwich will easily make you one that leaves off some of the toppings. So, for example, having bacon left off a sandwich shouldn't be a problem. As for a salad, table service restaurants that have a...

For breakfast? Yeah, we've found Tusker House to have better food, in part because there's more variety. You can get the standard American fare, but the African-inspired options are good too - it's nice to have more choices. We've always found the food there to be good. I won't pay character...

It's not overwhelming if your family likes character meals/interactions! :) If your girls are really into princesses, I'd aim for Akershus over Garden Grill. If they're over the princess phase, then I'd say go for Garden Grill. We found the food there much better than your typical character...

I know I'm the (seriously small) minority, but we did not have positive experiences at either Ohana or at Crystal Palace. When we did Crystal Palace, we found the food unpleasant (hot food was cold, quality was disappointing) and the characters were a bit rushed. When we did Ohana, we were again...

I'm always so interested in the stories of people surprising their kids when they wake up, or when they get on the plane, or when they drive through the welcome to Disney World arch... I could NEVER do that with my son. My son is a careful, cautious kind of kid. He likes to plan things out, and...

We also did the Pirates & Pals Fireworks Cruise a few years ago. It was cute, silly fun. Like others said before, it's not a big crowd, and it's a fun way to see the fireworks. Granted, it's from a distance, a very different experience from watching on Main Street USA. But you can see...

We did the pirate fireworks cruise a few years ago. Very cute, silly fun. We're doing it again on our trip this fall. :) The only person dressed up all pirate-y when we went was a little boy who looked like he'd done Pirates League, but that's a fun idea for a teenager. I don't recall seeing...
