    Mid Day Discount - Why no love for this?

    I think this type of ticket is a great idea. My 15 year old daughter has high functioning autism and can’t do an entire day in a park. When she was young, we would hit rope drop and then be done mid to late afternoon. One of us would stay back with her while the other would return to the park...

    **Disney After Hours - Magic Kingdom** FAQ & Discussion Thread

    My 12 year old son and I were there last night. I kept my expectations low, based on what I read here. Even so, I was really disappointed with the whole experience. Pirates and SM were both 30 minutes, which we expected. But what really bothered me was that the wait times for most of the...

    sleeping teenagers....

    During the summer I let our 14 year old sleep for as long as she needs to. As long as she was in her room and not being loud, I didn’t care how late she stays up. Our DS is almost 12 and a very early riser year round, so he has to be in bed no later than 9. If not, then he is an emotional...

    WDW rides/shows that I will not do again!

    Flight of Passage. I got too nauseous and dizzy and had to keep my eyes closed through most of it. That was disappointing because all around me I could hear my family enjoying it and commenting on what they were seeing but whenever I opened my eyes the dizziness came back. So no more FOP for me.

    Magic Kingdom Fourth of July Foreworks tonight!

    I doubt it. We just left the MK and it’s insane. This is my first 4th of July, but I’ve been on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve and today reminded me of both those days. We left at 4 pm and people were already in the hub staking out fireworks spots. We could barely move in Adventureland and...

    Ride Spoiler, Yay or Nay?

    I’ll watch a video if I know I’m never going on the ride, like the new Incredicoaster. But other than that, I stay away from ride videos.

    **Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

    DH and I did the dessert party last October and the souvenir was a tie fighter popcorn bucket. We were so disappointed that we didn’t get a Chewie Stein as he’s DH’s favorite. We’re coming the first week of July with our kids and have the party reserved for July 6. So now the souvenir is...

    MK "Happily Ever After" Dessert Party (Parties) Discussion

    I am in the same situation as you. DD with high functioning autism who can’t tolerate being squished or touched in a crowd of strangers. We’ve never seen HEA before and the only way for us to see it is with a dessert party. Our party is June 30 and I’m pretty sure it’s sold out. I’m nervous...

    Large family’s strategy

    With that many people who probably have different interests, I would just set up times to meet instead of everyone spending all their park time together. We have a big, extended family trip planned for July 1-7. There are 24 of us, 14 adults and 10 kids ages 14-8. We have dinner at Trail's...

    Tell me about Shopkick

    I use Shopkick regularly and love it. It does take awhile for the kicks to add up for a Disney GC, but it's so easy. When you walk into a specific store (the app will tell you which ones) you get kicks, which are like points. Then, you get more kicks by scanning certain items in the store...

    FoP Availability at 60 days?

    For the 1st week in July, there were some available at 60+1 for me when I tried. They were late afternoon to closing. I didn't need them, but looked out of curiosity. I did get 4 at 60+2, but times were limited. On 60+4, there was a lot of availability, especially in the morning.

    Ever done a "No Advance Dining/FP+" Challenge?

    I did a 4 day solo trip last August and did book FP in advance, but I ended up changing my daily plans around so much that I canceled all the FP+ I made beforehand and only booked them the day of. When I got up in the mornings I realized I didn't want to go to the park I had planned, so I went...

    So how does everyone else remain calm in the operating room?

    Good luck, OP, and I hope everything goes well for you. This past Monday, April 2nd, I had a hysterectomy. I was a nervous wreck all weekend so when I got to the hospital early Monday morning I was ready to ask for something to calm me. I ended up not needing anything because the pre-op nurse...

    Survivor 36: Ghost Island

    I really enjoyed the premiere. I love Donathon. I think he's going to be a fan favorite. He's got a great narrative, kind of reminded me of David from Millenials v. Gen X. He seems like a genuine person who is appreciative to be there and determined to make the most of it. I liked how he...

    Things on TV shows that bug you....

    When close friends or family don't say good-by before hanging up the phone. They just hang up. The way cups of coffee or a carry-out tray of coffee are handled. There's no care in holding or carrying them. IRL, the coffee would be spilling all over. It's so obvious sometimes that the cups...

    Living near or away from family

    10 years ago we moved from MI to TX. It was the best thing for us since both our families at the time were full of drama and dysfunction and we needed to get far away from all of it. My relationship with my mom has improved greatly since we don't see each other much. We see my parents once or...
