    UO for Xmas Week- First Trip, Looking for tips

    We’re heading to Universal Orlando for the first time with our kids and are living dangerously by going from Dec 25-31. It will be a Christmas surprise for our kids. I can hardly wait! I know Disney World inside and out, and I’m feeling really unprepared for this trip. I have several questions...

    Week After XMAS - When to Book?

    So excited I just needed to share. We booked! Actually decided to stay at HRH. We will be there from 12/25 to 12/31. I have just five months now to figure out a plan of action for our days in the parks. :surfweb:

    Shoes!

    Vionics have great arch support. It took me a bit to get used to them but I can wear them doing errands all day with no issues. The shoe I wear almost all day, every day during the summer is an Oofos flip flop. They are extremely comfortable and great if you have foot pain. My feet do tend to...

    Week After XMAS - When to Book?

    There will be four of us and Express Passes seem to be at least $126 a day that week! Sounds like RP is the way to go. Thank you for your help.

    Week After XMAS - When to Book?

    We're considering our first family trip to UO, sometime between Christmas and New Years. For hotels on property, when would be smart to book? We're not fully committed to the trip but I worry about not getting the hotel or room we might want, considering it is such a busy week. I'd like to...

    I'm begining to think maybe Disney isn't that way over priced

    Growl! I did not realize this.... I hope it doesn't spread out of club level.

    I'm begining to think maybe Disney isn't that way over priced

    We live 10 minutes from Kings Island and are season pass holders. It's not a bad deal for a local if you go and do not buy much food. But they also nickel and dime just like almost every other place. Parking is $20 for non-pass holders, and food prices are outrageous for what you get. The...

    "Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

    If it were me I would take the bus. Just be sure to arrive at the bus stop with plenty of time to get to MK. Even on a busy day I feel buses are less chaotic than dealing with TTC.

    Give me your favorite alcoholic drinks in the World

    I second the Dole Whip with rum! We got them at Epcot and they were fabulous.

    What spots are you OVER??

    I am completely over any character breakfasts. They all have the same food and it gets old fast, lol!

    "Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

    My mom happened to have one so we put a few cookies in it to take home. Yesterday I enjoyed an afternoon cup of coffee with a molasses cookie from the party. It helped with the post-Disney blues.

    "Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

    I also attended the December 5th party which ended up selling out that day. We were at a party last year the same week and this year did feel a bit more crowded. For us the difference was in longer ride lines before 7 p.m. but they still were not bad. We did not do any character greets so I'm...

    "Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

    We want to see the MMMC show, Wishes and 2nd Parade. Anyone have advice for where to grab a spot? We want to try to see the parade from somewhere on Mainstreet. Does it make more sense to see the 7:40 MMMC show instead of seeing it at 9:25 or 10:30?

    CRT ADR Capped at 8

    We were able to secure a party of 10 once. I secured two split reservations, one for six and one for four. The times were about 15 minutes apart. We arrived early for our reservation and they were able to put us at one long table. (I had called and this is what a CM suggested we do.)

    A question for those who are there now or going soon...

    I plan on capris with long-sleeve shirts. I'll probably layer up, with a tank or a short-sleeved shirt under and a light hoodie. I'll wear jeans the night we attend. MVMCP.

    Cortisone shot for Plantar Fasciitis

    While I hate hearing about everyone else's pain it is somewhat nice to know I'm not alone. I've had a wicked case of PF since May. Just when I think it is going away I get a flare up. I use those special socks, do stretches, ice and use a therapy ball. I will be at WDW soon with three days in...

    "Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

    Thanks! The only party we've been to before we did not mess with meeting characters. We happened upon a short line for Jack Skellington and that was it. I'd like to work in meeting either Santa Goofy, the ducks or possible the 7D this time around. Perhaps we can use the time in line to eat dinner!
