We spent the week of Oct 22 to Oct 27 in Epcot and other parks. The crowds and lines were very manageable until Saturday. By noon the lines were 40 people long for the booths in the festival and the walkways were jammed. There are a few pinch points around the countries that were almost not...

I say get the balloon too! How do the double balloon things work? I never saw one up close. Can you open the knot and let the air out so you can bring it home without issues. Are there two knots one for the inner and one for the outer? Is this some sort of trade secret that Disney will not...

Last trip my wife wanted to stop and sit for a while so I climbed through the Swiss Family Treehouse for the first time. I still can't get her to spend more than a few minutes on Tom Sawyer Island. We've been over there when the kids were young but only for a few minutes. I'd like to explore...

I recently had to make a business trip to Hong Kong and Shanghai. I was fortunate enough to get time in both Disneyland parks. The TRON coaster would be a great addition to WDW! It is a really good thrill ride but is a quick change over. The ride is about as long as Rock and Roller coaster...

The good thing for you is tat Space Ship Earth, Nemo, and Figment are usually available for same day fast passes. Test Track and Soarin will be time consuming without fast passes. There is also the Phineas and Ferb World Showcase Agent P adventure that your boys may love. You explore countries...

Funny thing happened the last time we met the Beast. We had a group and were trying to get organized for a picture. Beast decided to put his big clunky paws around my wife. He ended up accidentally copping a feel on her right chest! Wife was fine and we knew it was an accident due to the...

We did the Wishes Dessert party when it first came out and we loved it. There was no crowd, everyone stayed at their tables accept a few kids from the back area that could not see the fireworks, and the price was not bad for the amount of food. I don't know that is still worth it with the...

What happens when a young couple is looking frisky at each other? Does the show scene change to adult material?

We really enjoyed the Keys to the Kingdom tour also.

I know we tend to over-react when a ride is down. On our last trip we were in EPCOT for three days and every time I walked by FEA it was up and running. That's not to say it does not go down often but the down time is probably more tolerable than shutting this new attraction down for days to...

Remember that Disney rides are loaded with safety sensors. Some to make sure the cars are in the right place and some to make sure idiots don't try to get out of the rides while they are running. IF any sensor detects a problem the ride cannot run. They have to make sure the sensor did not...

We were on the lift when the ride shut down. The lights came on and the PA system announced to remain seated. I took out my phone to take pictures of course. After about 2 minutes they announced the ride would be restarting. The lights were still on! As we got to the top of the lift the I...

Add the Fox35Weather app so you get local weather reports while in the park. We had a little rain on the last trip and being able to quickly see the green screen was great. Also we used the DisneyShopping app to find out if items could be bought at other stores and on line. If you find...

I agree to save the night for fireworks. The Wishes and Illuminations shows are great. If you have tickets that let you park hop then spend an evening at EPCOT for the walk around the countries. Much nicer at night. Having ridden Space Mountain in both parks I find the DL version much more...

The last time our shipped (September) the site showed shipped with no update until the day after they arrived and the it said "delivered". Thanks for the tracking. On a related note. We were in line at MK for the magic band reader after security and we saw a family opening the box and handing...

I thought I read that the Disney Springs balloon ride was going to be down for an extended time for refurb. Maybe they will add the Kermit balloon to the outside. Sadly that would not fit the theme of Disney Springs.

Getting in late after a long day of travel. I would suggest early to bed and make MK rope drop to watch the new park opening show. You don't want to get behind on sleep the first day and then drag yourself around the rest of the week.

We go meet characters as adults all the time. My DD (23 at the time) loves Rapunzel so the six adults waited in line for the three princesses. We got to Rapunzel and got a group picture then we stepped back and DD and Rapunzel spends a good solid 5 minutes chatting in character. We paid to...

So you really want to go when the park hours are the latest and they still have Evening EMHs. If you are in the Magic Kingdom at 1-2 AM the park is empty. You have to pick a summer visit when the hours are the longest. We rode all the rides in Fantasyland back to back with no wait at 1AM.

You definitely want to get the Photopass person involved before you start. My son got engaged right on Main street at with the castle in the background. He tipped off the Photographer about what was going to happen and they started snapping lots of pictures through the entire event. That way...
