    Free dining is here!

    I haven't been to WDW since 2013, but it seems like the rules for free dining have changed a bit! You MUST stay 5 nights? You MUST pay for park-hoppers? And only staying in the deluxe gets you the regular dining plan, not quick service? Wow. Is it really worth it?

    Question about pin codes

    If I get a pin code in the mail or email, will that code show up somewhere in my disney online account? If I am pricing out a future trip, how do I use that pin? KWIM? Dani

    Dec- 1st week or 2nd week?

    In 2013, we were there December 4-12 and it was awesome! Low crowds, warm days - never rained. Unfortunately, nobody told us about the parade being taped so we planned breakfast at Crystal Palace that morning. >:( We couldn't get any great pics in front of the castle. I love Disney in...

    Which Princess ADR?

    I have only done Akershus and 1900 PF. We found 1900 to be very loud and packed with people, so the characters did not stay long at our table at all. It was very rushed. I personally wouldn't want to end my vacation with it. Akershus - we had great princess interaction, but my kids didn't...

    We had one near Star Tours. The photographer gave me a light saber and the photo has me fighting Darth Vader.

    We had ADRs at 6:30 and we were out by 8:30ish and that was after meeting the Beast.

    HS Day - 50's Prime Time Cafe - lunch reviews

    We loved 50's Prime Time! Just like the other posters said, you have to not mind being teased...little children might not understand it and be confused by it, but my teenagers LOVED it!! We had an excellent waiter, too. (Byron, I think, was his name) I was on a gluten-free diet, which they...

    Call for tips for successful group/multi-family trips!

    I tend to agree with Jennasis. :) We had a trip with extended family and some friends. And it was very stressful at times. When you pay as much as you do to go to WDW, the last thing you want to be doing is standing around waiting for somebody who insisted on going on this ride with you but...

    Tell me about December....

    Go in December!! We went December 4-12, 2013 and it was a great trip! The weather was wonderful - it didn't rain at all. The kids used the pools, but it wasn't oppressively hot or humid. The Christmas decorations are just lovely and the Christmas-y atmosphere makes for a very special time.

    FP+ with extended family

    Speaking from experience, I would just have your in-laws make their own FP reservations. We had a party of 11 with 4 different rooms/reservations and the system had a very difficult time with it. And when we tried to change our FP in the park, we had a horrible time. The CM's thought that all...

    Just back...some random thoughts

    Seeing these differing responses proves my point. I think this is one of the toughest decisions that we had to make...so many differing experiences and opinions from those who have gone! Maybe my husband and I can sneak away some Christmas and try it for ourselves...better than paying for the...

    Just back...some random thoughts

    I am sure most on this board would agree with you :) I guess we found it just too overwhelming and exhausting...not to mention expensive! But I have to admit that the CM's were all wonderful. We never met a grumpy one. We did meet some that had wrong answers to our questions, though. Thanks...

    Just back...some random thoughts

    I am glad you enjoyed the party! It was such a tough decision to make for a family of 6! And that is too bad about AAA! :(

    Just back...some random thoughts

    Yes, we were on the beach. But the only sound we heard was coming from across the water...wouldn't we have heard it at least a little from behind us?

    Just back...some random thoughts

    I just returned from our 8 night stay at Pop Century. I have only been to WDW one other time with my family and that was in 2005. So, unlike many of you, I don't have much experience at all and this was the first time that we stayed on site. Many of the things that I will say will probably be...

    No "magic" in my magic shots!

    We just returned from our trip and when I viewed my PP+ pics on MDE, there are some magic shots that are missing the Tinkerbell or the Stitch!! Has this happened to anyone? Is there a way to fix it?

    Not So Magic Kingdom

    We just returned and I agree with OP. We missed out on a FP because SM was broken. We got stuck on Buzz Lightyear. Jungle Cruise broke down. We wasted a lot of time and got very frustrated.

    I need some advice on spending money for kids

    We leave in 13 days:cool1::cool1: and I haven't decided what the best way is to handle my kids' spending money. They all worked hard to save their money for this trip, but I don't want them to have cash. Should I put it on a visa gift card? I have never ever bought/used one...can kids even use...

    Trip Booking Question

    Ok, I will try that, but my experiences with calling Disney are never very helpful. I am not looking forward to it. :scared:
