    Crowd levels early Jan. & fastpass+ ?

    How do you book FP+? We are booking a trip now for Jan 23rd...usually I plan for Months! We haven't been since 2007, so I have no idea how the new FP system works, of if I even need it Jan 24 through 28, since crowds will be lighter.

    Sell me on a suite!!!

    Hmm, well, we only stayed in a suite once- Grand Floridian 2 bdrm suite. Back then it was $1,500/nt, now it's closer to $2,300. And I wouldn't sell you on it- way overpriced, although the concierge service and food was very convenient, especially with the kids. It would be worth it if it...

    Going to WDW right after Labor Day...what to expect?

    We normally go to WDW in January, when crowds are low, weather is cool, etc. But this year we are being wooed into going after Labor Day, since it looks like crowds will be even lower than after New Years. Combine that with $156 4 day park hoppers through the military, and a $91/nt rate at...

    Has Shades of Green been updated?

    We haven't been to Disney or SoG since 2008. Planning a trip for next Jan. I'm wondering if they have renovated all the rooms there by now? Last time we had to request a renovated room, the old wing was pretty old. Have their been any other updates to S0G over the last 5-6 years? At...

    Does anyone else worry about kids safety on a cruise ship? Or is it just me?

    So, I've cruised before, but never with my kids (who are 8 and 10 and are NOT the crazy hyper types). We're thinking of taking them on a DCL cruise...but in the back of my mind, I worry about them falling off the ship! Now I know this could only happen if they were climbing the balcony, or...
