Thank you for your replies. First time we’ve ever had points that we might not be able to use so weighing up all the options, including renting and RCI as well as DLP.

Has anyone used points to stay in a larger room at Disneyland Paris? We are a family of 5, and I can see on the DLP site that their family rooms would work for us, but I can't see anything on the points chart that suggests whether I could book one or not using points. We've just cancelled our...

All our girls took their first trip at 12 months old so I'd say that taking a 10 month old would be absolutely fine! I loved seeing their reactions to it all! We stayed on property and close to MK so we could pop back for naps and to cool off but there are plenty of opportunities to take...

We found that if we gave our little ones some dark/quiet to drop off to sleep that after a short while it was easy to move around and put on low lights/TV without disturbing them - maybe you could settle the baby to bed whilst your family are out of the room? We've not stayed in a BW studio but...

Base your request on which Savannah you think you would like the best (because not all animals in on every savannah) or maybe on distance from pool, etc if that is more important to you. For us, giraffes were top priority and the walk to and from the pool, etc didn't worry us, especially as it...

Thanks! Looks like taking Dvc cards with us to the pool might be a good idea too!

We are DVC members and not planning to pool hop to anywhere we shouldn't (!) but where can I find a comprehensive list of which pools are gated? And if they are gated will our magic bands recognise that we are DVC members and let us through even if we are not staying at that resort? We haven't...

Not a playground but if you can pick a quiet time to do this, both our little crawlers loved the carpeted area where the large aquariums are at The Seas in Epcot.

This is similar to our typical pattern (we've been most years since our eldest was 13 months, and she's now 7). The only thing we've found tricky in the past is allowing enough time to nap and have a swim. Often we would successfully make it back for naps, but run out of time to swim before...

Maybe a character breakfast or lunch followed by a bit of resort hopping? You could make this work with the monorail resorts, or the Boardwalk/Beach Club area and maybe build in time to sit and rest (or nap!).

Small World? We didn't go down that route in the end but I did pin some pictures of the Small World nursery on board the Disney cruise ships when I was planning for our youngest :) We went with Dumbo in the end - soft yellow walls, sky blue ceiling and a cot bed duvet cover and pillowcase...

Credits run out at midnight of check out, but does checking in another resort change this? On the day we check out of BLT I'm planning on having one TS credit left (each), which I'd like to use that evening after we have checked in to AKL. Will this work? :confused3 Assuming we might have...

I don't think you're crazy at all, and as a mom of three I'd have done the same thing BUT… make sure you have travel insurance and a Plan B just in case! My third baby was my second c-section and whilst my previous c-section was fine my recovery this time around was complicated. At 8 weeks...

Thanks for your help. I have to admit I had missed the small print about having to be with a DVC member when playing in order to receive a discount. The tip about playing two rounds is very useful - will have to look more into that :)

Can I book and pay for my Dad to golf, using my DVC discount, even if I'm not going to go with him? Wondering if he would need to be a member himself, or whether he may just need to take along my DVC card, or whether I can have it booked and paid for and he just turns up?

We've travelled from UK more than once with little ones and the pattern so far has been like this: travel day - try to stay up as long as possible and go to bed very tired but closer to US bedtime than UK bedtime. Feels like a day and a half! Usually kids have napped on bus en route to hotel...

Just a heads-up for anyone who's looking for one - they are back in stock at Disney Store Online :thumbsup2

Not sure if this is an option for you, but as we have a UK postal address we are collecting our Magic Bands when we check in and this was one of the options available online when I customised our Magic Bands. Perhaps you could arrange to have yours ready at check in, rather than risk having...

Keep a few new little toys (or start stashing away some you already have so they will seem like new) so that you can bring something new out of your bag every so often. I remember reading something like one for each hour of your flight but we found that the cartoons, food, etc provided plenty of...

I only have one tip - make sure that whatever your morning plan is, that you and DH have discussed it the night before! If you both know who is doing what hopefully everything will go much more smoothly :)
