    "Look at all these sunny balls!" - WDW/Uni TR Feb 17-26th 2018 (6/18 Wrap-up and DVC review)

    I guess I got a little behind. I guess I haven't been giving the dis the time it deserves! We have never stayed deluxe. However, I always thought the lobby at Wilderness Lodged looked amazing. I was also disappointed in the themeing on your room. It did look kind of blah. Definitely would not be...

    Thread to share experiences with AK rope drop for FOP during EMH

I have Fast Passes for FoP on our DAK evening and on our DAK morning day but its later than we probably want to stay in the park that day. So, I considering the...

    "Look at all these sunny balls!" - WDW/Uni TR Feb 17-26th 2018 (6/18 Wrap-up and DVC review)

    Chefs de France looks delicious. I had initially planned to eat there during our trip in June but DH really wanted Biergarten. I let him win on one ADR. I'm following along. I'm usually a Dis'er who just reads and rarely posts. I've been trying to be a little better lately about saying hello...

    Avatarland - morning EMH experiences?

    Mine are usually pretty good at being early risers. I'm less worried about that than I am slow bus service. It's my first time to be flying and not to have access to my car. I do have a 1 p.m. FP for FoP but I know my teens will want to do it more than once so I thought I'd try for rope drop too.

    Avatarland - morning EMH experiences?

    This is the morning I'm most nervous about. I'm worried we won't get there early enough. We are staying at All Star Music. I'm hoping that in the bus line by 6:45 will be early enough for early EMHs. My family might balk if I make them get up any earlier.

    Your pics made me hungry for Crystal Palace breakfast! I love that meal. We are doing lunch this time on out last day. We haven't done the people mover since our first trip in 2012. I'm going to make the crew do it again this year. I'm so tired of the teacher walkout! I know its necessary but...

    I've got the Disney bug and I can't stay away. AKL June 2018 TR started 6/25

    I am not interested in any of the "summer promotions" with the exception of Toy Story Land. TSL we will all enjoy because we are huge fans of the movie. I was originally booked at PoR. We would have to stay in the Alligator Bayou section. I actually think the décor in that section is better...

    One Month Stay Onsite at WDW First timers Family of 6 (June/July 2018)

    Wow that's a long trip. My husband would never go for it! You could always make a grocery order for Amazon Prime Now or Garden Grocer for your food. What airline are you flying with that allows two checked bags? We are flying Frontier and had to pay extra for all bags. Our trip is June 12-17. We...

    My husband teaches (I used to) we've gone the last week of May in 2012 and 2016 and July 5-10 2014. We are doing June 12-17 this year. Honestly, end of May and first July felt about the same crowd wise. However, the weather is much better/cooler in May. I was watching crowd during June last year...

    bypassing check in and going to park

    I'm driving to Orlando and planning to spend our first might off property to save money. I want to go to morning EMH at DAK. I'm hoping I can go straight to the and bypass check in until later but I'm afraid we will have to pay for parking and that our dining credits won't be available.

    That sucks about the head colds. Being sick at Disney is the worst! I wish I could take as good as photos as you with my iphone 6 plus. My cellphone pics are never as good as other peoples. I really want to eat that nutella waffle. Looks so good!

    Let's Have a Kiki With Benedict Cumberbatch & Mickey! **Update 11/02 x4**

    Found your report today and am enjoying it immensely. I hope to do a solo trip someday when my kids are grown. I think I would enjoy not having to worry about what anyone else wanted to do and just explore on my on. I also can't imagine having that many days to be there. Our max so far has...
