    For those there now

    We arrived Sunday and we've found it pretty warm during the day and the evenings. Last night was the first I wanted a light sweater for fireworks. Busy....the last two days have been great at EP and Mk. Today at MK is very busy but it's to be expected since it's a non-party day. It was too...

    Rain in December

    We're here now and I'm also looking at the weekend weather. We have ponchos and I'm really hoping Friday is a great day at AK...our first ever! We've been really looking forward to it. I've been watching the weather for a while and so far it's been beautiful, not the rain that was originally...

    Spending money?

    Sounds like an amazing trip! We're here now and my kids are 13 and 10. We've given them $50 for them to buy what they want, and another $50 for universal when we go this weekend. My daughter is one to spend any money the minute it hits her hot little hands but she's been great this trip looking...

    We leave tomorrow and arrive Sunday for our second BLT stay. So excited! Dishwasher and laundry soap - are they still replenished if we ask? Just wondering if we should bring a couple with us. TIA!

    Best age for child's first visit to WDW? Poll Inside!

    We are leaving this weekend for our second and probably last Disney trip as there are so many other places we'd like to visit. Our first trip the kids were 5 and and 8 now they're almost 11 and 13. My son remembers the first trip but my daughter does not. This trip they will both be able to...

    Funnel Cakes as snack credit?

    Thanks for the MK info! I had no idea you could get one in MK. Seems like a good use of a credit at $7.00

    December Weekend Crowds

    We have about 3 weeks until our WDW/US trip. We'll be arriving at HRH on December 8th after 5 days at WDW. Friday night I figure will be dinner, maybe at The Kitchen, followed by a swim and a relaxing evening. What can we realistically expect for crowds on Saturday and Sunday? I was originally...

    Funnel Cakes as snack credit?

    I was just reading through the excel document with all the snack options and saw that funnel cakes are available in Epcot. When I check the WDW website it says dining plans not accepted. Any know the final word? We'd be interested in the plain one with icing sugar if that makes a difference...

    Question about a Canadian Passport for a child

    I would imagine you get the full five years or they wouldn't issue them to babies for the same price as older children. We just got ours last week and it only took 5 business days to receive them, so don't panic too much about timing. I am in the GTA and not sure if that made difference. I did...

    How much tweaking is normal?

    I'm tweaking quite a bit. I keep finding new info to take into account (like the ToT problems). I just hope I'm making good changes!!!

    What the hell is going on with Tower of Terror...

    I feel terrible for everyone having issues but I want to thank you for letting everyone know. I'm in the process of changing our HS day so I can get FP for ToT to hopefully guarantee a ride.

    Happily Ever After strategy

    Don't mean to hijack, but since we're talking about HEA, where is the ground higher? By the statue or Casey's? It's been 5 years since our last trip and I'm trying to figure out where to stand (on a busy December night!)

    Any tips for land and sea?!?!

    We did this back in 2012 and it was amazing! We did 4 park days (no AK but did MK twice due to the ages of our kids) and then went on a 4 night cruise. We had friends who did the 3 night and said it wasn't enough. We loved it. My parents cruise a lot and said how wonderful the Disney cruise was...

    Dessert Party or wing it?

    I've never done a party before and while they do sound nice, I saw some pictures the other night of the view that have turned me off trying to do one on our upcoming trip. We're going in December and it's going to be BUSY but I'd still rather get a spot early by Casey's or the statue to get a...

    Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

    We're getting close to our December trip. We had a great vacation in 2012 and stayed at BLT in 8116. I know we can't put requests in for certain rooms, but what is the best way to request this type of MK view, instead of say, 8130? We're staying in a 2 bedroom (not sure if it's a dedicated or...

    BLT rooms and views with picture links! Last update of post #1 10/21/2015

    It's been 5 years since we stayed at BLT and I remember this thread! We've booked another 2 bedroom suite with MKV for our upcoming December trip. I already requested a high floor but wondering if I should change it. I'm dreading getting one that ends in 30 from the research I've done. Will they...

    Magic Bands and Christmas colors

    Fun idea! I guess you just have to make sure the right person is wearing the right puck? Our last trip was pre-magic bands!
