    When do you guesstimate they'll post early entry for June?

    I was just searching online for this information, and couldn't find it. So I thought I'd come here and ask, and I saw this thread. I guess I'm not the only one wanting to know! :)

    What options are there for a quick breakfast in DHS

    That's what I was afraid of. :(

    What options are there for a quick breakfast in DHS

    Now that Starring Rolls is gone (my favorite), I was wondering what other options are there for a quick breakfast in DHS?

    MK Closing at 9pm? What?

    They expect us to plan our park days, meals, and fastpasses months in advance, but then rip the rug out from under you, by changing the EMH's, park hours, and showtimes at the last minute. It throws a monkey wrench into the whole planning thing.

    EMH... staying on property... go or heck no?

    I would say it depends on your own habits. We are morning people and rise early, so we've always done EMH and enjoyed the smaller crowds for the first hour, riding several attractions, and then slowing down, and taking an afternoon break. If you and your children don't like to get up early...

    Do you like the Fastpass+ system?

    It is absolutely too complicated now. The thing that I don't like, is the timing of everything is off. You have to figure out which days you will be at which parks so that you can make meal ADR's 180 days in advance. Then you can only do your FP's 60 days in advance, and you can't get the...

    BREAKING: Bob Iger announces opening date for Pandora!

    Pandora means nothing to us either. Except that it is some new attractions for AK, which has been needed for years. We are arriving May 31st, so it will probably be crazy. We may get lucky and enjoy the lesser crowd elsewhere, since my kids have no idea what Pandora even means. LOL!

    Pirates League costumes for girls

    Oh, I love that photo! That looks like something my granddaughter would love. She was trying to decide between pirate and mermaid yesterday, but is leaning toward pirate.

    Ready to Dump the Dining Plan

    I had a lot more problems than you did, getting FP times for the parks we wanted at the times we wanted. Of course some of that had to do with my granddaughter wanting Anna & Elsa when it was a nightmare to get them, and the Seven Dwarfs being a brand new ride. Anyways, it left a bad taste in...

    Ready to Dump the Dining Plan

    In our case, we've pretty much sampled most of the TS restaurants, so I was just thinking of doing a couple of our favorites, and then eating much smaller meals, and snacking as our schedule permits. More of a "seat of your pants" method, and not planning to do a TS meals everyday. It's not...

    Ready to Dump the Dining Plan

    On my last trip to Disney with FP+, it seemed so much more complicated trying to schedule the meals to go along with the parks and the FP schedules. We had to keep changing the ADR's because FP times would overlap the meal times we had already made, or we couldn't get FP's for the parks we...

    Trails End vs Whispering Canyon

    While the food may be somewhat similar, the atmosphere is completely different. Trails End is a buffet. You get up walk around the buffet, get your food and go back to your table and eat. The server only comes around to fill your drink and remove the dirty plates. The food tastes good, and...

    Pros/cons re: using travel agent

    I have had wonderful experiences using, Dreams Unlimited. I wouldn't say the prices were that much cheaper than booking with Disney directly, but they continually checked for discounts and applied them to my reservations. They also changed my requests and rooms around a number of times. And I...

    Anyone stay at a resort while construction/refurb was going on?

    We were at WL last year when they were renovating the pool area. From our room you wouldn't have know a thing, no noise. When walking around outside, the lobby, food court, and boat docks - it was horribly noisy, walls up everywhere, limiting seating for the food areas, etc. If I had it to do...

    Epcot- do you start with Mexico or Canada?

    Funny thread! For some reason Mexico draws me in first. We like to grab a margarita to walk around with. But it also depends on where we have meal reservations. We like Le Cellier, or Via Napoli and will often go that way first if we have a meal coming up soon.

    Did your kids or family outgrow Disney?

    Our family has never outgrown WDW. We took our daughter as a young child, and went repeatedly. We sometimes added a day or two of Universal into the mix, but always enjoyed our Disney time. Now as an adult, our daughter still loves Disney, and we are starting to take our young grandchildren...

    Elephant misfire on jungle cruise

    A similar thing happened to DH on Splash Mountain once. In the room with the singing frogs, and the water is leaping from place to place, one of the sprayers sprayed directly into the side of his head and soaked him good. He was soooo shocked and the look on his face was priceless! Of course...

    My 60 Day FP+ Window opened - MDE Is not a good experience!

    I have been our Disney planner for almost 20 years now, and this has by far been the most stressful and frustrating trip planning I have ever experienced. I am really soured on Disney vacations right now, and not sure if I will be planning another trip anytime soon. Maybe that's exactly what...

    **Official Frozen Sing-Along, Oaken's, Holiday Premium Package Tips, updated 1/5/15

    I am happy that the Frozen Summer Fun is extended through our September stay, but it really does wreak havoc to all my previously made plans. How difficult will it be to get tickets to the Sing-A-Long show if we don't get to HS until after lunchtime? We have FP's at MK all morning, and...
