    Official 'how to get from point A to point B while at WDW' thread.

    Looking for help - I've been reading through many comments here, but haven't quite hit on what I'm seeking. Trying to get an estimation on how long it might take for: (1) Bus ride from EPCOT to Saratoga Springs OR Old Key West? and (2) Boat ride from Saratoga Springs OR Old Key West to Disney...

    Any airport-area hotels offer shuttles to parks or Disney Springs?

    I've been reading, and searching, and I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but have to ask: are there any hotels near MCO which offer shuttle service to Dis Springs or any parks? We are fine with using Uber, but I'm just curious - so have to ask the experienced minds here on this board...

    Any MCO airport area hotels offer shuttle to Disney Springs or Parks?

    Flight gets in late, so hoping to stay at a hotel near MCO. Want to do a Disney Springs visit the next day. Do any offsite, airport-area hotels offer shuttle service to that area? (Or anywhere near parks?) Or are Mears, Uber, or other private transportation services our only option? Many, many...

    Picky eater possible at La Hacienda de San Angel?

    Thanks all! These are some great ideas! I think we'll go ahead with our reservation, do some order adjustments, and I'm sure it will be fine. If not, as DISNEY1975 pointed out, we can always go somewhere else afterwards! :)

    Picky eater possible at La Hacienda de San Angel?

    We've been looking over the menu and, while it all looks delicious to me, we will be traveling with one son whose palate is not very "adventuresome" ... does anyone know if they are good here about altering the menu items by leaving off some of the spicier sides or sauces? Has anyone done this...

    MK parking lot Tram experience -- a Nightmare?

    I have a good friend who is leaving this Friday for a first-ever family trip. I'm trying to help her plan. We've always been lucky enough to stay onsite and use the bus system; they are staying off-site and will be driving to the Magic Kingdom. I've been reading some posts that the Tram...

    Storing "stuff" on a Double Stroller ??

    My good friend leaves Friday for a first-ever family trip. She will be renting a double stroller for her two DDs and is wondering if they have storage underneath or a pocket on the back or anything else that would allow her to stow items while touring the parks. We haven't had to rent a...

    Shipping a package to Resort?

    We've shipped several times and never, ever had a problem. We usually ship UPS just a few days before we leave. Each time, our box was waiting for us at the front desk of our resort when we checked in. One of the best tips I've read about shipping is to label ALL sides (all six) of your...

    Magic Kingdom on Valentines Day

    We will also be at MK on Valentines Day this year. We've been there on that day in years' past, and I haven't ever really noticed anything special going on. One tip that I did think was cute was a poster who had her kids make Valentines for the characters and the CMs and hand them out all...

    Can we gain park entry if we're not on ADR?

    Our situation is this: We are a Grand Gathering of 19. There is one day where only some members of our group have an early (8:00 am) breakfast ADR for Crystal Palace. (I know, this is strange, we're not doing it all together, but its a long story LOL) Anyway, what I'm wondering about is, can...

    Hi all, We are arriving the morning of Friday, Feb.9th and thinking about doing DTD and Disney Quest that afternoon. I'd love any input as to crowd levels at DQ on a Friday afternoon. Bad? Decent? I've found some DQ info that's indicated that it can get really crowded, but haven't seen...

    Cheerleading Convention... When exactly is it?

    Oh, I'm getting so very nervous about this whole "packs" (or "herds" LOL) of roaming Cheerleaders thing ... though I have to say my teenage nephews going w/ us are quite happy about it! :) Does anyone know, however, where to find any more specific information about their schedule? I've found...

    Buying "groceries" at Pop gift shop???

    We will be staying at the POP 2/9 - 2/17, and are planning on eating breakfast in our room. We've never stayed at the POP before, always moderates. What we usually do is ship down a box with snacks, cereal, etc. for breakfast and then we just bought milk & OJ at the resort gift shop. What I'm...

    Paying it forward

    Hi all, We are going as a Grand Gathering (5 families) on Friday Feb.9th. I know my kids, as well as my nieces/nephews, would be SO excited to get a postcard beforehand. I have PM'd a couple people already but either it didn't work out (my computer died for a week or so) OR I haven't heard...

    February 10-17 CROWDS? Plan help!

    NiteOwl71, thanks for the info about the cheerleaders! I was glad to read it, as my orginial plan had us spending that Sunday (the 11th) at MGM all day. (Still will have to be there for at least part of it as we have ADR for Sci Fi Dine In for dinner.) But now I know to pick another park for...

    February 10-17 CROWDS? Plan help!

    We will be there Feb. 9 - 17, also staying at the Pop. A Grand Gathering of 19 of us. Woo-hoo! I'd have to agree with those who have been praising Tour Guide Mike. This is our second time to use him and the information has been really, really helpful. Have a great trip! ~HenryMom

    Magical Moments certificates?

    I am familiar with the certificate for waking up Tinkerbell, but am surprised by some of these others. I am wondering if they are just tied to the whole YOAMD thing? I mean, a lot of these seem like a case of being lucky, of happening to be in the right place at the right time, instead of...

    Summary of Recommended Dining in WDW?

    Here's the link to the restaurant reviews on the AllEars site, if that will help: http://www.allearsnet.com/din/reviews.htm I just did a quick check of our list of where we ate when we went three years ago (myself, DH and DS, age 2). I think I tried to pick the "most recommended"...
