Yes, that should be very do-able.

I kind of thought the last Mix and Mingle was before 10:30, so you might need to adjust for that. Town Square at 10:30 is quite empty for both Horseman and Boo to You. Dwarves had a super long line. Expect that to be the biggest hassle.

The term is maybe five years old? It's not just merch, though that's a big part of it. The ephemera (napkins, cups, etc) can be ordered en masse for all the Disney owned parks as a result. And while I hate this, it saves them money. I wish they'd realize that they are LOSING sales by having...

I always tell the CM at the turnstiles if we plan to take up more than elephant... it helps their planning.

One way to make sure they visit guest relations (as opposed to any old merch location) is to ask for an EPCOT map when the day is spent at DHS. They can only get that at Guest Relations!

Lights of Winter.

I can't say that I recall the accuracy at Test Track, Soarin, or Dinosaur. I will say this: you can "protest" the measurement at the loading dock and they should have a handheld yardstick that can't really be argued with. That pesky sign on the left side of Thunder is off, I tells ya, but the...

The ticket sales along 192 and inside iHop etc are shady. Try Orlando Fun Tickets. It sounds like you've never been to Disney, so I think you should go to MK.

Yeah, the new version has just the right amount of snark and inside references. I love it way more than most new things at Disney :)

Echo the statement that this is a loooooooooooooooong wait.

You have a lot of photos... think about "ephemera" - stuff they give away, like napkins, ketchup packets, "I'm celebrating" button from Guest relations, souvenir map, times guide, a fastpass to something specific. See if a cast member will give you their "cast deployment" scrap of paper?

We live locally and don't even show up at water parks until 1pm (and theme parks until 5pm) in summer. There is always a place to put down your shoes etc... but it might not be in the shade (or shielded from summer rain). Lines are not that bad really, in our experience.

Splash is fairly accurate. The "left" side of Thunder is NOT accurate when you get to the bottom of the line (right before they put you in a row), so be on the other side! this aggravated us several times in recent months.

Vests while on the slides are OK. We go every weekend in summer.

I was disappointed that Ackbar didn't say anything about a trap :)

It's OK to vent (and what better place than a message board?!) I hope it works out for you. Maybe buy him those desired articles of clothing beforehand to clear up any desires to go shopping? I kinda read a desire to avoid WDW in this description...

The magic isn't "dying" - there's still a bazillion things going right at WDW. It beats the pants off competition near your home town or even elsewhere in Orlando. That said, the magic probably HAS decreased. Yes, the menus are way more bland, and they are more overpriced, than ever. The merch...

Aha! Thank you!!

It was definitely the Imagination post-show. Much of the rest of the post-show has been removed, so I"m not even sure if the studio (which is still there) is even begin staffed.
