    Do NOT like Fast pass set up!

    IMO, FP+ stinks. I just got back and HATED it. I want to control my touring plan. Case in point. If I had been at the MK at rope drop I could have gone to Mine Train and gotten a fastpass that wasn't 10:40 PM. It was a ride I have yet to experience since I could NOT stay in the park past...

    Why are ALL Moderates booked Nov.9-16?

    Does calling really make a difference? I know reservations are like the stock market up and down...But I've been trying every day with every combination of dates with and without discounts for CBR-No luck!

    College: Who Pays - Parent or Kid?

    Our children lived away at school (state related). The best financial decision we made was to pay for their apartments out of pocket each month. Each maxed out the subsidized loans, then a took a small private loan that we co-signed , then we took a parent loan for the balance of the tuition...

    What tickets do I need?

    We will NOT be visiting the parks on Saturday as we have to be in Sarasota that afternoon. Is Thursday from 4-closing with express pass enough time in the Studios? I figured we would be at WWOHP first thing Friday morning then do a few rides, leave for the requisite pool break then come back...

    What tickets do I need?

    Do I need a 1 day or 2 day park to park ticket if I am checking in on Thursday around 12 and checking out on Saturday morning? My thought is to go to US Thursday afternoon then WWOHP in IOA Friday morning and back to US Friday afternoon. We are staying at Royal Pacific. I know we get the...

    Have you cruised in the summer????

    Having sailed in April, May, August and September, I would agree with everything the OP has written. Summer sailings carry a hurricane risk so get the insurance. Also, I always fly in the day before since thunderstorms can delay or cancel flights from many US cities. Expect some daily showers...

    What Fresh Hell is This? or How Many Times Can You Take A Pre-Schooler to WDW?

    Hi Guys! I feel like a voyer likstening in on your conversation:guilty: I am so jealous of getting a no kids trip to WDW. I've been 4 times and the best, no not best but maybe least hectic, was when my DH and I went in early Feb. He had a convention in Orlando. Soooo nice! If I was going...

    Nightime Activities at AKL

    When we stayed at AKL, I believe that the guide brought out the night vision goggles at 9:00. The kids lined up and had about 30 seconds to look. The guides are all from Africa and very enjoyable to talk with! There is a list of events posted in the lobby. I noticed that around sunset...
