[stayathomehero]

I started doing Couch to 5K this week, so hopefully that will help.

*******Food & Wine Festival News*******

There will be a total of 35 food booths this year including 2 new booths (India and Spain) as well as a new dish at the Farm Fresh booth.

Couch to 5K

Whats this?

 

[stayathomehero]

Whats this?

It's this 9 week jogging/running program that has three structured workouts per week to slowly build your endurance so that you can run a 5K race. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/

I know, I'm looking forward to having extra snack credits this year for F&W. We'll have plenty of credits so that we won't have to share items at the food booths.



Happy Star Wars Day everyone!!!!

I think BOG, and Ohana should be top priority, then maybe Akershus and the BonVoyage breakfast.

Trying to plan my schedule because ADR's are next Saturday and I have a question for everyone. 6 of our 9 days are MVMCP at the MK, but we like being in MK at night. According to the Kenny the Pirate and WDW Prep school crowd calendars the 3 remaining nights at MK, that aren't party nights, are listed as MK being the park to avoid but they also list these days as overall low crowds. How busy does everyone think a low crowd, park to avoid will be?

BOG and Ohana would be my first and second to book, followed by Bon Voyage and then either Chef Mickey or Crystal Palace. Good luck!!

When we travel to Disney, crowd levels are usually listed at a moderate level, but we always visit MK on a day that is not recommended at least once during our trip. A lot of people say the park is crowded during our stay, but we don't really notice it. I would think if you were visiting during a low crowd period, things shouldn't be too bad.

Thank-you, that's what I was hoping! My DH will PH a little but doesn't want to do it everyday and he wants at least one full day at MK. Our 1st 4 days are predicted heavy crowds but our last 5 are predicted to be light crowds. MK is supposed to be the park to avoid on 3 of those days but overall it is supposed to be low crowds at WDW those 5 days. It can get confusing with all the details, LOL. I can take moderate crowds I just don't like Wall to Wall busy.

question...we are staying at the polynesian and just found a reservation for the bon voyage breakfast at 8am one morning. we have small children and will not have carseats so uber/taxi won't be an option. will it be possible to get to the boardwalk via bus in time to make this reservation? does anyone know what time buses start picking up from resorts? as far as i know, hollywood studios opens at 9 the day we are planning on going so i'm worried the buses won't pick up early enough. thanks in advance for your help!! feel free to direct me to other threads if you know of any that may be helpful for this question.

I heard that some have car seats in them. You have to call and request one with car seats.

According to an answer I found on the Mom's panel (disneyworld website), there are buses that appear to run as early as 6:30 am so guests can make early dining reservations. If you check a day or two before your dining reservation with the lobby concierge at the Poly, they should be able to tell you if and when the early buses might be running. I also found information about the buses running early in this thread https://www.disboards.com/threads/o...to-point-b-while-at-wdw-thread.2573200/unread
