    ***Official*** Pandora: The World of Avatar Information Thread

    Okay, that feeling of almost being able to reach out and touch the orange grove? It is there on this ride but also in 3D. I think you will love it. If you haven't ridden the new Soarin' lower your expectations a bit as the transitions are more flinch inducing and the camera distortion on the...

    ***Official*** Pandora: The World of Avatar Information Thread

    Finally refound this! I have a 9 year old who weighs 45 pounds and is 50" tall. She looks like a 7 year old. Anyway, she was super secure and we had no worries with her riding. She loves Tower of Terror (rides with her arms up) and the coasters (again with the arms up). I just asked her and she...

    ***Official*** Pandora: The World of Avatar Information Thread

    After having read pages of this thread this weekend as we were preparing to go yesterday, here are my thoughts. We came in from on site at Universal, so I rode both FoP and Forbidden journey in same day. We are HUGE Harry Potter fans. We loved FJ when we first rode and were wowed. Yesterday...

    **Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

    10 years ago I promised my then 6 year old Star Wars obsessed son we'd take him to Star Wars weekend. That was during a trip with his baby brother. Then we started an international adoption...then another...fitting in vacations when we could during off seasons and cheaper times to go and...

    New guidelines - May CANCELLED ADR Thread - Read 1st Post

    We were trying to plan a surprise trip for Star Wars weekend for our oldest son, and were waiting on baseball schedules and summer swim schedules and church youth camp schedule to come out before we knew which week we'd be able to go. ::sigh:: Then, the oldest son who was being surprised...

    Main Street USA Bypass

    They used the Casey/Crystal area on Wednesday 10/29 for exit during the holographic show and wishes. Was thrilled to see it as an option, and excited that it will continue to be so.

    Onsite for the first time in forever. October 2014 PTR

    I can't believe we're down to counting hours until we leave! My mind is a jumble of thoughts, the house looks like something exploded in it as we scurry to pack and prepare. "Momma, my throat hurts." "Mom, my tummy hurts." Ensuing panic sets in. Hours, granted quite a few hours...

    Linking BBB reservations???

    or that you have to call multiple times a day, and give them ALL that information each and every time just to check to see if they happen to have any availability. Online reservation would be so much easier.

    CRT on Day 5?

    FYI, you can not book CRT on the app - either call or online only. :D We booked it for 6 of us at less than 180 days out. It's much easier now than it used to be, and I am guessing because all 3 meals are character dining now.

    MK on 11/22 with no FP+

    If you are picking up tickets early because they are part of a package but you arrive a few days early, then you can not make fast passes until you enter the park. If they are part of a package that starts on Sunday and you get there on Saturday and check into an onsite resort with a split stay...

    ALARM ALARM Pre-Vacation Eye Glasses Catastrophy

    Also, sometimes places can "match" the lens to a different frame if it's close. But Walmart does get them back quickly most of the time, and if you got them from there to begin with, they typically have extras in stock and they switch out frames. If it was the lens that broke, I would...

    Share YOUR magic moments at Disney

    When my oldest daughter was 2, she LOVED Nemo. She would watch it in the van, and yell, "Fish! Mommy, wook...FISH!" every single time a fish would swim on the screen. There are A LOT of fish in that movie. So, I made her an outfit out of Nemo fabric that still fit a year later when we...

    Onsite for the first time in forever. October 2014 PTR

    So, I have been calling BBB for a few weeks multiple times a day. Each time it's the same thing...call, as soon as Fairy Godmother gets on, press 1 and wait. Sometimes it's a short wait and sometimes it's a really really long wait. This past time it was a 30+ minute wait. The CM comes...

    Attractions vs Meet & Greets, how do you choose?

    With the spread in ages of my kids, it's a struggle. We take back our autograph thing each trip, and just add to it. Thus, it never feels likes we must fill a new one out each time and the younger kids aren't as insistent on meeting every character. We do have favorites that we must see each...

    How to get to A&E after 8am BBB

    The best way to try and get this would be to book BBB at 180 days out on your 10th day of your trip, or book it at 8am for all days of your vacation at 180 days out. Then, at 60 days out, starting with the 10th day of your vacation (and hopefully you aren't starting on a weekend as others...

    I'm thinking the we made the right decision as well, but I'm still a bit sad we are skipping it. Good luck bumping your ETWB! I've been working for almost 60 days now to bump ONE 7dmt to match our other 5. I'm to the point where I know we will have a blast regardless, and luckily we have a...

    :cool1: I can't believe we are getting so incredibly close!!! More vacation bloat, and so glad things were only in pencil! ;) We finally decided that on the off chance that we could get the SAME room for our room only resort stay and not have to change rooms, then we should go for it...

    4 year old on tower of terror ?

    Took our oldest when he was 5 thinking he'd LOVE it since he loved all the coasters (this was also the trip that Mission Space had just opened and he rode it 7 times). Um, no. He was sobbing in terror by the end. He finally re-rode it on our last trip when he was 13, and he enjoyed it...
