This board helped me plan the perfect 1st trip to WDW & if there is a better place to put this thread mods go ahead. We stayed @ POR for 8 days myself, twin boys 13 & ds9. We were sprinkled w/pixie dust when we found out we were upgraded to a Royal Room. We are "TEAM ROPE DROP" we did MK RD on Memorial Day... By 12noon we rode the 3 MTN roller coasters, and every other thing we really wanted to do in those areas. We even managed dole whips. At 1pm we went to Floridian Cafe, I was hesitant because of the boy factor, but we did it and THEY loved it. My youngest hated bring classified as a kid but at the floridian they treated him like An adult. The food was fantastic! We stayed @ MK till Wishes & my boys loved it. I often asked if they wanted to go back to rest, but nope they didn't. I won't give a day by day review... But I will say EPCOT was not as smooth, my boys loved it, YES, but we came a bit after opening and I had no plan. We did all the headliners and visited some of world showcase but not every country (next time). Garden Grill ROCKS... But definately get a table on the 1st floor (we didn't & I should've requested it). DHS was my ds9 favorite park! The rides all my boys loved (I sat em out). 50's PT our server went thru the motions, but my boys liked it. I thought SCI-FI was great... Burgers were fantastic! We had a resort day when my boys discovered the pole fishing! And they love it (they r doing it right now on our last day). HDDR was a high-lite! We sat in the center (sec A) so we got alot of attention! The crowd went wild when my son said we were from Boston & they sang a funny song about my 13 yr old, the food was salty but we are everything. We had a typhoon lagoon/disney quest day. My boys loved it... But I must say I am not a gamer so I was counting the minutes to leave DQ. We saved AK for last full day. I love AK. But, we needed to leave after 4 hours to get ready for Ohana's plus I wanted to do some laundry. Next time I will plan to do AK @ the beginning of our trip. It's so beautiful (and HOT). **** we were on the dining plan, I made ADR for almost every day & highly recommend it****** our favorite QS was absolutely @ our hotel POR! Any questions about anything I would love to help!!
a pp gave the exact answer I would have as to 1st floor GG... The view (this is a must)! Honestly, DQ was not suitable for me 39yr old female... I will have nightmares forever (kidding) but my boys loved & will do it again... For your young kids I think it's skippable, but maybe someone else will have better thoughts?!?
