Thanks for your help! Is there any benefit to having FOTL for these days?

Oops. Those 10s should all be 11s. Dates are nov 9. - 15

My family (DD11 & DS13) is going on a 4 day disney cruise (10/10-10/15) and then planning on going to Universal all day friday 10/15 and sat 10/16. We will be flying out on 10/17 but I dont know the times yet so we might be able to spend a few hours in the parks in the morning. We could also...

We are planning on taking a 4 day trip to Universal in Nov and are also considering going back in August. If we buy a 4 day ticket and on day 3 or 4 decide that we want to come back in August we can take all our tickets to guest services and convert them into annual passes? How much will that...

I'm trying to decide between the Holiday Inn Maingate or the Four Points Sheraton and cant decide between the 2 for our pre-cruise trip to Universal Nov 24 & 25. I will be traveling with DD8 and DS10 so the pool is important. Being able to get to the park easily is also a concern. The rates...

The Howard Johnsons looks like it would be fun for them and more in DH's price range. The waterslide would be a nice addition but its not a must have. I cant decide whether it is worth it to spend the extra $ for the "Disney Magic" and the waterslide or use the extra $ on things at the park...

Thanks for the info. My kids are both great swimmers - they have been doing lessons since they were 2 - so that is not an issue. Is it worth spending twice the cost of a room elsewhere to stay at the Disney Land Hotel? The pool does look like a lot of fun but DH is not conviced that is worth...

I just found out that DH will be going to a conference in San Diego the first week in May and I am going to tag along and bring the kids. This is a first trip for all of us. We will be staying at the Westgate hotel and DH will be busy the whole time we are there. What are the best places to...

We are planning our first trip to DL this May and I am trying to find the best hotel for us. At our last trip to WDW we stayed at the Port Orleans French Quarter and the pool with the dragon slide was the high point of the trip for my kids DD5 and DS7. We would like to find something that is...

Thanks for all the great information! I think we will look into going over Memorial Day week.

We have been to WDW every year for the past 7 years but never to DL. This year will be our first trip with DD (5) and DS (7). Since our kids are now in school our vacation times are limited. We are considering going around Easter (Wed before to Tue after), the week of Memorial Day or sometime...

We are planning on eating at Il Mulino at the Swan on our last night and leaving DD4 and DS6 at Camp Dolphin. Has anyone done this? Do the kids like it? I know you get 2 hours free if you eat at one of the Swan/Dolphin restaurants but what is the charge if they stay longer than 2 hours? Do...

Are there opportunities to meet the characters outside of MGM? I remember doing this at AK right before we went inside the park but Im not sure if it was just because it was right when the park was opening. We are thinking of taking disney transportation to MGM on our way to dinner at the...

Thanks for the info! Its nice to know we have some options. We will have 2 very sleepy (or very wound up!) kids to deal with so walking may not be the best option! But the boat ride from DTD sounds great. At 4 & 6 my kids think that is a ride.

We are planning on spending our last night having dinner at the Dolphin and will be using disney transportation. Is there an easy way to get from POFQ to the Dolphin and back? How long will it take? Thanks

We are planning on spending our last night at WDW by having a parents night out. We are planning on putting our 2 kids into Camp Dolphin and are planning on going to one of the Dolphin restaurants. Which is better and why? We live in the midwest and can get good steaks all the time so I am...

A few questions... I just booked DD4 at BBB for the hair and makeup pkg at 11:00am June 29. I will be taking her straight to GF for the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party at 1:30. Will we have enough time? Also what do they give the girls to take home? I remember seeing something about a...

Ive also had great luck with them. I have had a few things that were damaged or wrong and they have always replaced them without any questions. They have also never asked me to ship the item back. A few years ago I ordered a Mickey Mouse watch for DH for Fathers day and the inscription...

I actually think WDW is a very special place for little ones. DS6 has been there 5 times and DD4 has been 4 times (we missed the year DD was born) and we are going back this summer. The first time for both of them was around their first birthday. They loved it - the characters, the parades...

I think its great! We should all do it. On one of the worst days of my life - in the airport flying to see my dying father in the hospital - a total stranger in front of me in line at Starbucks paid for my coffee. He probably doesnt remember it but I dont think I will ever forget it. It...
