Just got back, any questions?

[Rapunsel]

1. You can buy autograph books at the Orlando (MCO) Airport. They are the same ones that you can get at WDW. Just go to the Disney store there.

2. MNSSHP was awesome!!! No lines for getting pictures taken.. If you are back by Small world... You can also enter at 4pm.

3. Wishes Fireworks are great!!! We saw them standing on the bridge to Tomorrowland.. Tink even wayed at us.. We found out that is one of the better viewing places...

4. The 50's Prime Time Cafe at MGM, was one of the best meals that we ate..
Breakfast at Chef Mickeys was also great...

we were also able to ride in the front car of the Monorail.. If you have a member with a birthday badge on.. use it to your advantage. I think that was the highlight of our trip.

We passed up on Mission:SPACE as we found out a lot of people we getting nauseated... but TT is awesome...



Had a great time with the family, but I could not get over the spending.. It is so contagious. I think my DS2 has enough gifts to be able to spread them out till next Christmas...


If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.. Also the first 'week' we were there it was empty.. But by the 12th it was really crowded..

I just went to the 'Guest Relations" at MK and Epcot and asked for a Birthday Badge.. No questions asked.. A lot of people were wearing them. Kida and adults. Also if you are planning a meal for that day let them know ahead of time and they will have a badge at your place and also have everyone sing..

Just wondering... Were the crowds really bad? We are going November 1-8 and I am getting a little after hearing that most of the resorts are booked.

We arrived on the 10th and it was a mad house at the MK...... It also closed early because of MNSSHP. So that could have been why. It was a bit crazy at times... But what can you really do about it. We used our Fast pass and took our time. We saw everything that we wanted to and just did our best. I just put the thought in my head that we will come back again one day... With out a 2 year old.


Just go and have fun.. I do recommed going to a park on early entry day at the early entry and do the rides you want.. Butafter that leave. Also if you get to a park that had EE on that day.. Don't expect to get a fast pass. That happend to us a lot. We realized that the EE people got all the fast passes. IE: The Kali River Rapids at AK ... All the fast passes were gone by 12:30pm. .

You said you had a 2 yr old. I'm traveling with 6, 2, and 1 yr old. How many days did it take you for each park?

 

[Rapunsel]

We took advantage of the FVP and had an 8 day hopper pass.
We went to the MK the first day, then to MGM and MK on the 2nd as they were having fireworks that night.. Then 1 day at Epcot.. We mainly did the world showcase and returned on another day to do the rest of the park. Then we only went to AK once as it was hot, crowded and the little one couldn't do most of the rides. So we made sure that we did the Safari and took the Train to Rafikis station. We then went to DownTown Disney one day and spent our last day at the MK. I like the MK the best so that is why we went so many times... MGM has a lot of height restrictions and also shows. So we did that park in 2 half days. We tried to see most of the parades and the night shows.. We didn't see Fantasmic as I don't think the 2 yr old would have liked it.. We also did MNSSHP. We did a lot.. Had some late nights, but had a lot of fun... Most people recommend trying to take a rest, but when a park closes at 5 or 6 pm. it kind of defeats the purpose.. So just make a plan and go..

There is an 8 day park hopper pass??? Where do you buy those at? I didn't think they went past 7 day park hoppers...

 

[Rapunsel]

We got our passes with the Fairytale Vacation Package... That is what the deal was.. 7 Nights and an 8 Day hopper pass for $500.
I think I do remember seeing it as an option on the sheet that the CM showed us upon check in.. I don't know if they have them all the time or if it was just for the promotion..

The passes that came with the FTP are length of stay passes. Since with the package you are there 8 days and 7 nights they are good for those 8 days only, they can't be saved the way days on hopper passes can be
