    The Everything Pooh Sized Thread

    Kurt, I might be too late getting to you here, but I am almost 6'4" and I weigh about 380. I can fit on 7DMT. The large upper body isn't a problem at all. The fit is mostly troubling in the legs. I have to uncomfortably squeeze my thighs together to pull the U-shaped bar back over them. It...

    Rivers of Light - 1st or 2nd show?

    Hi all - will be at AK on Friday Jan 25th. Have a FP+ for ROL at 6:45, but then found out there is a later show at 8P. Park close is at 8P that night. Any considerations or advantages to one show over the other? We have an 8A breakfast at Tusker House, so we will have plenty of time that day...

    Rivers of Light fastpass

    Bringing this old thread back to life to see if there is any chance to the prevailing opinion. We are planning to be in AK on Friday Jan 25th. Wondering if it is still worth it to book a FPP for Rivers of Light, even though it ties up our third all day, or whether getting one day of is likely...

    Ticketed Event?

    Thanks all. Wifey apparently knew about it and told me I should have just asked her before I posted! But then again, she lets me do all the scheduling.... makes me wonder if i shouldn't just turn it over to the expert! :)

    Ticketed Event?

    Hello all, Looking at scheduling our days in January and see several "ticketed event" times listed before normal park open. Been a couple years, but are these the formerly known Extra Magic Hours for on property guests? For example on Jan 21st the hours for HS are listed as 9A-8P with a...

    College Cheer Competition Change Much?

    Thanks. We have no interest in WWS, and plan MK on Sunday and HS on Monday - so I guess we will miss them! Rah Rah!

    College Cheer Competition Change Much?

    Hello all - we are going to see the 90-year-old mouse from 1/20-1/26 2019. Just noticed that there is a college cheer competition through the 20th. Is that going to impact much? I've heard the HS cheer stuff can get pretty busy/noisy... just wondering how much the college cheer competition...

    First Adult Trip - 20th Anniversary - Help?

    That sounds so great... We are so excited just to spend some time together. We have had one night without our kids in twelve years, so we are having trouble imagining how much fun it will be to be a couple again, even if only for a few days. Plus we will have the 14 hours drive from WV to...

    Hello everyone, For the first time ever, my wife are considering taking a whirlwind trip to WDW in November to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It is such a new experience, thinking about Disney without our kids. I am trying to even begin to understand all of the differences we will...

    *~*~*~*Official January 2017 Thread*~*~*~*~

    MAN!! I should have waited a day! I heard of the new hours, but couldn't get the old link to work, so last night I went through the Disney website park by park, day by day, event by event, to update our itenerary.... oh the time I wasted! :) Thanks for this new link!

    Epcot Figment ride worth it?

    I think if you've never done it and if you have young kids, they will like it. It is all about using your imagination and Figment is a funny pesky little guy that most kids relate to pretty well. For adults, and especially for those who saw the old version, it lacks a little, but we always...

    *~*~*~*Official January 2017 Thread*~*~*~*~

    When we made our FP reservations last Tuesday (15th) the website just kept spinning and spinning. We started trying right at 7AM EST but couldn't get through at all. I went right to the MDE app on my phone and made them all there in about 20 minutes for our whole stay. When I finished doing...

    Illuminations?

    Thanks for the info - We are planning to spend 1.5-2 days at Epcot, but based on the many available places to watch, balanced with the fact that we will be going when it isn't the busiest season, I am thinking we will just take our chances finding a spot with using a FP. Thanks much.

    Illuminations?

    For A January trip - maybe Wednesday the 18th (best choice for us) or MLK day (2nd possibility), what time would you say the FP+ for Illuminations would be gone? Any chance of same day (as a 4th or 5th, etc.) on those dates do you think?

    Questions about Hours/EMH at Epcot

    Hi all - just a quick couple questions about how reg hours and EMH work at Epcot, if you don't mind. We are headed there in Jan 2017, and are trying to figure out our FP+ stuff before our window opens. 1. When there are regular hours, and Future World opens at 9A and World Showcase opens at...

    *~*~*~*Official January 2017 Thread*~*~*~*~

    We are from WV and love the temps too. We would wear jeans and jackets, and then peel off the jackets for the afternoon if it got warm enough. Last Jan is was particularly cold according to the locals, but we loved it. Coldest temps were about 35 when we left the room in the morning, but most...

    *~*~*~*Official January 2017 Thread*~*~*~*~

    Trying to find the relevant info about SW fireworks in that Official Star Wars thread is like trying to find a needle in a 620 page haystack! Is the best place to get relevant info in that thread in the first few posts that are updated? Or are there any specific posts anyone can point to where...

    *~*~*~*Official January 2017 Thread*~*~*~*~

    Are you sure? I have been hearing lots of people talk about this opening this fall (possibly Novemberish). Not trying to get anyone's hopes up, including mine, but I am optimistic this may be ready for a January 17 trip.
