    Half day at animal kingdom worth it?

    Yes is the short answer. Lots of people consider AK a half-day park. Personally, I'd UBER to Disney Springs and get a "taste of Disney" without the expense and rushed day. YMMV

    MK Toddler Touring Strategy?

    Good information. I'm in pre-planning stages to take my granddaughter for her 3rd birthday. When I took my toddlers, they were early risers and I'd go for rope drop or soon after and be able to do most of what I wanted to do before lunch. Sometimes back to the hotel but if they decided to nap...

    Returning after 4 Year Hiatus

    Wow, I had to look back to see the last time I was on this site, four years in January. Yikes! I was a pretty active member of these forums and visited the parks a couple times each year. My friends all considered me an "expert" on all things Disney (of course they hadn't met the rest of...

    What is the length of your longest vacation?

    My longest trip was a solo backpack trip to Europe at age 24. I had friends in both Dublin and Glasgow and could use those as a home base as needed. 13 countries on a EuRail Pass, total of 5 months. Lots of bread and cheese, this was by no means a luxury vacation but eye-opening, exciting...

    Restaurants with Bars

    Hi. I'll be a solo traveler for my March trip and wonder which in-park restaurants have bars that you can order lunch/dinner? I much prefer to sit at a bar than a table when dining solo. Thanks!

    Single Diner, Best Restaurant Choices

    Hi. This will be my first trip back in four years and its a solo trip. I enjoy sitting for a nice dinner with wine after a day at the parks but prefer to sit at a bar when by myself. What places are recommended for this scenario? Can I assume I won't need reservations if I"m by myself ...

    Via Napoli review

    Thank you :flower: Now I feel understood lol. When my kids were younger at WDW, we did Chef Mickeys, Whispering Canyon, Ohanas, etc. and I prepared for and expected subpar food, messy floors, and loud kids, including my own. I didn't expect that at Via Napoli. I definately consider it a...

    Via Napoli review

    That was really my point...that it is not a good use of a TS credit. Had we not been on the dining plan (which we were not when I made the ADR) I would have been much more pleased but because I knew we could potentially have been eating at Saana or another TS restaurant, it diminished the value...

    Renting house Offsite...Pros/Cons???

    Correct me if I'm wrong but we considered Wyndham Bonnet Creek (although we didn't stay there) because it afforded the flexibility of easy access to MK (via walkway) and EPCOT (via monorail), which would let family members come and go as they please. You could also easily use the bus...

    Hi Everyone! Like the title says, we survived WDW in January lol. I'm not much of a cold weather person and always take vacations to warmer climates than the Boston area ~ I'll go to ski country but kicking and screaming all the way and then I spend the time in the condo cooking for everyone...

    Via Napoli review

    We ate at Via Napoli last night on the dining plan. When I made ADRs we didn't have the plan and I thought pizza and salad would be a cost effective way to eat sit down at Epcot....I might agree that this is true but...this was a terrible waste of a TS credit IMHO. Our experience was that of a...

    MK strategy for thunderstorms?

    We are going tomorrow for am emh and will get there for rope drop. Are there particular rides we should hitbefore the rain or during the rain? What closes? What opens up first if/when the rain stops? Going another day is not an option, its our last of 4 days and we were saving it for MK

    I detest cold weather and pretty disappointed about the forecast BUT...this trip is for DD and she goes commando park touring and could care less about drinks around the pool lol. So 57 it is and we will love it.
