    Disney Springs...wondering what it is like

    My family just got back, and went there for the first time. It is full of fun and interesting stores, restaurants, a unique bowling alley, and other places to spend your money. We live in a large metro area, and we have many of the same (or similar) fun and interesting places, including...

    Help with Magicbands

    I checked out the sticky note above, but could not find the answer to my situation. My family has gone to DW before, and we all have our Magicbands. Everything was done under my name, and my login registration. Now, my DD, just turned 16, is going to DW with her friend, and they are staying...

    Land at noon- worth it to go to MK if closes at 7?

    Small tip - don't expect to get to your luggage before you go to the park. Also, you can leave your carry-on bag at the Poly front desk.

    Keys to avoiding long waits, regardless of crowd level

    Another tip is to visit a park the day after an extended magic hours evening at that same park. The thinking here is that a lot of on-site folks will have been at the park the night before, and may choose to visit a different park after that.

    Less crowded in mornings of late EMH?

    Another potential strategy is to go to a park that had an EMH the previous day.

    Christmas or Spring Break?

    I'll put in my two cents. Both will be crowded. You said that you had always gone in September. If you have never been during the holidays, it is really special. So, I would suggest that. There is so much to look at during the holidays! Spring Break will be a lot like September - great for...

    Question about whether to get a park hopper

    I plan to be in the parks for 5 days. Some days I will want to go to 2 parks, others I will just stick with one. I notice that the 10-day base (no park hopper) ticket price is cheaper than the 5-day park hopper. Can I just use a "day" every time I go to a different park? For example: Day 1...

    Car Service Advice

    We used to use Happy Limo all the time, before MDE (and a few times since). By my recollection, Mears provided a van, while Happy provided a limo (or a Town Car if it is just the two of you).

    A few questions about Magical Express

    Thanks everyone. I think I understand. Just a few follow-up points: Although we have carry-on size luggage, we were considering checking our bags anyway because we have airline elite status. As I understand it, if we do check our bags at our home airport, we will not see them at our resort...

    A few questions about Magical Express

    If anyone can help with these, I would certainly appreciate it: 1. We arrive at the Orlando airport around noon. We have already paid for our room and tickets in full, and should be getting our magic bands in the mail soon. Our luggage will be carry-on size, but I was wondering: Can we...

    Pop Century Review

    We are trying to stay at the POP, and I have a question. There are four in my family, two parents and two children, 18 and 13. Disney wants to split this into two reservations because there are 3 adults, and will not guarantee us being near each other. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm...

    SOME CMs at Test Track ...

    As far as your lack of response at the time, I totally get it. Sometimes I can be so taken-back by a rude statement that I think I must have misunderstood what was said. I think that this is even more the case when you are trying to insure that everyone in your group is having a good time...

    Splitsville!

    We have a Splitsville near my home. It is a very nice, themed, bowling alley with waitors and good food. The lanes are arranged in themed small groups, not a long row of lanes as in typical bowling alleys. Its nice and different. BTW, eating food while you bowl is a bit awkward because you...

    walking from DHS to cape may buffet

    The boat ride is fun and relaxing. Also, although the walk is very nice, I feel like I do a lot of walking already. Enjoy the nice, and likely quicker, boat ride.

    Just back last night..5/16

    As for the kids bumping in to you repeatedly, I have always wanted to have a cup of water handy so that when they bumped me, I would "accidently" spill it on them. Perhaps it would stop them from doing it again in the future.

    High price of MNSSHP tickets worth it?

    Our family did it once, and it was a huge hit. I do not normally "dress up" for stuff, including Halloween. But for this trip, I wore a Hawaiian shirt, lei, and loud shorts. While my "costume" may have been a bit lame, the rest of my family was decked out in full-blown costumes. Even still...

    Death in family and didn't buy insurance...

    Try calling the airline too. They often will waive change/cancellation fees for situations like this. If the first person only repeats their official policy, tell her that this situation is unique, and politely ask to speak to a supervisor. I have been surprised at how helpful they can be...

    Epcot & Univ/IOA

    We have done Universal and IoA in one day, and to be honest, we missed a lot of things and I felt like a drill sargent making everyone run to the next place. If this is your only opportunity to ever go, and you want to have experienced some of the high profile rides, then go for it. I, on the...
