Because you get a birds eye view of the area around Cinderella's Castle!So, I'm a bit confused. I read Touring Plans and some other places and everyone says that Dumbo is like THE attraction (aside from Soy Story Mania). Why is that? What is so special about Dumbo that makes a touring plan be called "Dumbo or Die"?
Eh, even though its our first Disney vacation I won't be heartbroken if we don't ride it.I may stand in a 10-15 minute line.
Those all look so yummy!!! I am bummed that we aren't doing any of the Wolfgang Puck places. Enjoy!
DTD also has a large caricature stand 3 or 4 artists. I'm looking at the one DH and I got in 07 that's hanging on our wall. I know the price goes up by number of people, if you want color or blk and wt and just head or full body too. We got heads only (which included our shoulders and a bit of our shirts, 2 people in color. we also purchased the frame and it coat about $85!but WORTH it!
You know actually after thinking about it that does make perfect sense..... hmmm... Now I need to change that.Back to the drawing board but I guess that means I will be giving up Ohana.
Any suggestions? That day in the morning I had as an open day to either go to MK for the morning or back to Epcot if I happened to need more time there. I definitely was planning on sleeping in and wanted some pool time that day before going to the Party. I even thought that I might possibly want to go back to DTD but again that is why I was leaving that day open as far as plans and I felt safe with the Ressie at Ohana at 5pm
Yes, you can get a microwave for free at CSR. It's on a first come first serve basis.
I so love the look of Bonnet Creek!! When we can't get Free Dining, I'll will be seriously considering a stay there. All that extra room, washer & dryer, porch - it calls my name!
HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY......................challenge.............try to say IRISH WRISTWATCH
I haven't done Dumbo. Or TSMM. I enjoy the experience and do not always worry about what rides people say are "must do's" Not everyone loves A Bug's Life at AK and it is one of our family favorites, and it is one of our "must do's" so these guides can be helpful but don't let them drive you madSo, I'm a bit confused.

I think it is partly because it is one of those classic rides that everyone thinks of. Like its not really magical until you've riden it...Sort of like the tea cups.
But...it loads SLOWLY. So to avoid a line it is best to get there early in the morning. But when we were there last year in September I only saw the wait time get up to 10 minutes....granted I didn't watch it all day, but you know what I mean.
We added on another night to ours so now we will be checking in on September 23rd. Still staying at pop and leaving the same date, September 30th
They do a show, they dance with the kids and the kids can color. But you have to be in the correct place in line. I don't know the exact numbers, but they let, say 30 kids in for this dance and color. Then they let 30 more kids into a "holding" area where they can see all the festivities but don't participate. So the first 30 kids do their coloring and then Flynn and Rapunzel come out and they and the first 30 kids do the dance, then those kids go through the meet and greet line. Then, the other 30 kids go through the meet and greet line. My daughter was the last one to get in with the second group of kids. She's young so didn't care, but I would've been kinda bummed if she was older and saw all that fun but wasn't able to participate. The characters and CMs were still great though, allowing me to bring in my youngest when my oldest was almost at the front of the line, the characters spent alot of time with my girls even though she was last in line. But we will be avoiding this meet and greet in the future just because the lines are sooo long and it moves pretty slow.
I also have to add that Flynn was the ONLY character that made my youngest cry.
My DD isn't all that thrilled with the Pooh characters anymore, so I don't think she'd mind if we have to leave before seeing all of them. I think if I explained to her that we needed to get in line for Rapunzel, she's gladly leave breakfast early. I'm going to put her in this AMAZING Rapunzel/Flynn custom dress that should be arriving at our house any day now. It's GORGEOUS! Photos in front of the castle with that on, PLUS hopefully participating in the Rapunzel show, will be 
We always need two days to do MK for sure!
) You ladies chat all day while I'm sleeping and then I log on and have to catch up on 5 pages. Then I sit here at 3am talking to myself!
