Hi everybody. This is my first post over on this part of the DIS. I have not been to WDW since I was a small child so I really do not remember what it was like. I go to DLR all the time. In fact I have been there three times already this year and I have two more trips being planned and one in preplanning stages. I have been toying with the idea of taking a trip to WDW in 2011. I have been doing some research but am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have a few questions and was hoping you guys could help.
1. When would you say is the best time to go and why. (I'm looking for all aspects... when is the cheapest, the most magical, the least amount of crowds etc. I have to admit that I will be doing this on a budget but I would be wiling to work with that if it is worth it.
2. How many days... I was thinking 5. Will that be enough?
3. Do you recommend park hopping? It is so easy at DLR since we just walk out the gate from DL and walk across the Esplanade to DCA, but I have heard that at WDW it is a time consuming and patience trying process, due to having to wait for transportation.
4. Is it necessary to stay on site? It is nice at DLR but not needed. Is it that much more convenient to stay at a WDW hotel?
5. LAST QUESTION... (sorry for being so long winded) Is it better to get a dining plan? I have never done this at DLR as they look to be a rip off, but WDW's seems to be better put together.
I do not remember WDW very well but am very excited with the thought of planning a trip to the Magic Kingdom. Thank you for your help guys!
