    Kindani vs Jambo House

    I prefer Kidani because it is quiet. Sanaa has a QS breakfast, so you don't have to go to The Mara for that - but you have a full kitchen, so you could just do food prep there if that's your style. (When I have a kitchen I'll generally do quick meals, like lunches and breakfasts in the villa.)...

    Touring Plans room request

    There's actually an app that has pretty much all of the Ft. Wilderness spots documented, with site number, length, ease of backing in and where the utilities are, in addition to a picture of the site. It's called FW Sites on the iOS store (not sure if it is on others). What I also found useful...

    Considering some sort of family Christmas gift

    Maybe a tour - like the Family Magic Tour or similar? We are doing the one with elephants - Caring for Giants? Which isn't that expensive.

    Translator app

    Google Translate only really works if you have a VPN (despite being able to download Chinese characters for offline mode). If you have a VPN it works really well - you can take a picture of a sign or menu and load it and it will translate the characters for you. You can also hold it over a...

    Couple q's re: traveling w/ my 4 year old niece

    Animal Kingdom is our favorite park, so AKL works out best for us. We prefer Kidani, since it's quieter and has the community hall with loads of activities. (You can actually grab stuff at the community hall and take it back to your room, like coloring pages and some of the activity packet...

    If your kids wear customs...Epcot day?

    I'm going to assume you meant "costumes"? I found that meeting princesses was easier at Epcot in some cases, so my girls wore their princess outfits to meet Belle, Aurora, Mulan, Jasmine and then whoever was at Akershus. I only have girls, though, so it's always princessy for our trips.

    Elsa dress - where to buy?

    My 3 year old has the Elsa dress from the Disney Store and it has held up extremely well! Much better than the dresses from Target or Wal-mart! You could also make a dress, if you're inclined. One of the grandmas used the Elsa dress pattern to make my oldest an Elsa dress but with Elsa and...

    Tell Kids ahead of time? And stroller question

    We are not telling our kids. Instead, we have been prepping them for months for a "Camping trip" (I've shown them Ft. Wilderness on Google Earth) in Florida and that we're going to visit grandma while we're there. So that's all they've been thinking about, and they're super excited about...

    Pirates & pals Fireworks voyage?

    Pirates and Pals: We did it last year. Basically, you go to the Contemporary and there is a room with some food items - mostly sweets, like cake, ice cream bars, popcorn, cotton candy, granola bars, pretzels - it is snacky stuff, not dinner-type stuff. There is a Photopass photographer there...

    Best quick service breakfast?

    We like to get the warm cinnamon roll and the fruit cup at Gaston's in the MK. They are both a snack credit on the DDP.

    Where to Stay

    I love staying onsite. You can also rent DVC points, if you want a deluxe for a little less. I've stayed at POR and AKL-Kidani Village and Caribe Royal and will never go back to POR or Caribe Royal. We will rent or, eventually buy, DVC points from now on. (We really liked having a...
