LOEMH ...any reports?

I think last year was the 1st time they did it, and it is only from the end of August until the end of October. I haven't heard of it being offered any other time of the year. It's geared towards little ones when older kids go back to school.

That's kind of what I thought, that it was just for little ones. Then a number of posters said all on-site resort guests can enter. That's why I wondered why they would call it LOEMH, if it's for everybody? That's a little confusing to the people like you and I, who have little ones, and expect it to be something for little kids and then you show up and it's not. Oh well, a number of people have said this should be a slow time and the lines hopefully will still be low. We leave in 2 weeks! Can't hardly wait!

According to Disney this is geared towards "toddlers", that to me would be the under 5 crowd. Your children are older. So are mine. I plan on going to ride the rides. I doubt very much that my 11 year old or your 10 year old are going to want to play duck duck goose with the characters so I don't think there will be a problem.

We just got back and went to LOMH 3 times. The only thing I was disappointed in that it was always the same characters each time. When we went last year, we saw different characters on different days.

This year Stitch rode the Dumbo ride and was out and about. Alice, the Mad Hatter and Mary Poppins roamed around. Mickey, Pluto and maybe someone else played games-duck duck goose and so did Peter Pan, Wendy and Captain Hook. Pooh and Tigger played games at the Pooh playground.

My older daughter, who is 4, loved it. Most of the games are geared towards the little ones. The characters interact more than at a plain character meet and greet.

The characters were always the same last year too. They just weren't all out at the same time.

Is this a new thing DW is doing all year round or just at certain times of the year? We will be there in May next year and I would love to take my two children!

Unfortunately probably not. So far both times it has been in Aug-Sept.
