    Dolphins and Stingrays -- Which Shore Adventures Are Best?

    Hi. I am a first-time Disney cruiser, headed out for a 7-night cruise on the Magic for Spring Break. Traveling will be my husband, daughter(11), son (9), and myself. I'm excited, but not sure what to expect (except that it will be the trip of a lifetime...no pressure, Disney!). On these...

    Ticket Price for Advanced-Purchase Online vs. at Gate...?

    Hi! My Northern-Virigina-based family and I are in Paris and planning (at the 11th hour) to hit Disneyland-Paris for one day. I tried to buy tickets online in advance because my guidebook said there is a price cut to do so. However, the online tickets must be printed out at home....I'm in a...

    Disney "Purist" Considering a Day at Universal

    Should I consent to go to Universal for one of five days at WDW? In four weeks, we're doing an extended-family Disney trip with ten family members meeting at my in-laws time share in Kissimmee.... My sister-in-law's kids (pre-teens) really want to hit Universal for at least two days, see...

    Best month to go?

    What to consider in October: Heat; early-evening closing of Magic Kingdom for standard ticket holders 'cause they open it for "Mickey's Spooky Halloween Party" (must buy separate ticket for this) on some nights; I find it more crowded in October overall, but especially avoid Halloween week and...

    Anyone Know Park Hours for Wed. Feb. 29th?

    Now I'm not sure whether to plan for Magic Kingdom that day...or that night (only)...or both. Or neither. I'm all for exciting special events, but I'd choose a non-crowded day over a 'special event.' Magic Kingdom is special enough to me as it is....Especially when it's not crowded...!

    Anyone Know Park Hours for Wed. Feb. 29th?

    Dear Smitch, Okay, wow. I have to ask: REALLY?! It will stay open all night long. Everything?! Can you tell me if it's like "a thing," and throngs of locals crowd it or whatever....? We ~carefully~ chose this week for our big family vacation (ten of us from three households), but I had...

    Anyone Know Park Hours for Wed. Feb. 29th?

    Hello! I am endeavoring to plan our daily touring guides, and the online calendars at Disney.com for park hours seem to have a glitch. For Wednesday, February 29th, it says the Magic Kingdom hours are, "6:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m." Obviously a typo or something....Does anyone happen to...

    Any Benefit to Buying Park Tix for '12 Trip in '11?

    Hi....My father-in-law is hosting eleven of us on a trip to WDW the last week in February. We will be staying at his time-share resort in Kissimmee and buying park tickets (non-park hopper base ticket with no water parks or other frills) sometime before we go. Can someone tell me if...

    Does "No Availability" Really Mean Fully Booked?

    Thank you everyone. Duh, it had not occurred to me to call, even though I never book anything for the parks online, and I always call. But what is B2B?

    Does "No Availability" Really Mean Fully Booked?

    So, one week in June (yes, next month) has magically made itself available in DH's impossible work schedule. We'd love to do a Disney cruise, but a quick search on the official Disney Cruise website turns up "no availability" for this week. Can anyone tell me if a travel agent or...

    Power Rangers?

    Headed to Disney World tomorrow. (!) DS (4) is Power Ranger crazy. This is new to me, as we have previously only been Princess crazy with DD. I know Disney has bought the Power Ranger franchise, so...are they represented anywhere in an attraction or character meet-and-greet? Thank you!

    Rides while pregnant?

    I've done the Safari at six-months pregnant with absolutely no problem. It's just a few bumps. My doctor said, anything my 16-month-old could go on, I could go on. So, toddler and pregnant mommy both enjoyed Safari. I have not done Sourin' pregnant or not pregnant, but you should get some...

    How to Give Gift Card to Future Cruiser?

    My daughter's teacher is taking a Disney Cruise over the holidays. I figure a nice gift would be a gift card for use onboard. Anyone know how to go about buying/ordering a gift card she can use on her cruise (in two weeks)? Thanks.

    We're in the middle of watching a past season of a TV show on DVD. Can I bring my discs and watch in my room before bed? Just a standard room at Wilderness Lodge. Thanks!

    Thanks for the photo! -- But do they do 'normal' haircuts, too, with no paint and confetti? : )

    Boat to Fort Wilderness

    We are staying at Wilderness Lodge and have reservations for Hoop-de-du-Revue (sp?) on a day I have ear-marked or a lot of swimming. We've been told to report to Pioneer Hall 30 minutes before showtime/dinnertime. -- To be at Ft. Wilderness at 4:30 for a 5:00 p.m. show. Can anyone...

    Barber Shop in Magic Kingdom?

    I saw a photo of a little boy getting a haircut...I guess in the Magic Kingdom...on AllEars.net. I'd like to arrange this for my DS, and, while we're at it, DH, too. We're leaving tomorrow, and we just ran out of time for haircuts. Considering we need to look nice for pics, I thought it...

    Price/Availability of Princess Costume at Epcot?

    We have our Princess Dinner at the Norway Pavilion in mid-November, and I have told DD4, that she may wear a princess dress this time. (Three previous times we got away with a comfortable church dress....I have put this off because I find those costumes to be itchy and non-breathable, not to...

    disney on ice question

    We saw the Disney on Ice three weeks ago in the D.C.-Metro area. We had VIP seats. They are not front row, but the ten-or-so rows behind it. There was no interaction with the skaters (they simply don't stray from their routines, as far as I can tell), although we were close enough to see...
