    MK "Happily Ever After" Dessert Party (Parties) Discussion

    We went two weeks ago with our double umbrella stroller. During the dessert portion we parked it to the side near the check in station. As for the Plaza Garden, I am pretty sure It was a wide entrance gate. We didn't have any trouble getting it inside on the turf. Kids sat inside the stroller...

    Forgotten Park Item sent to Resort

    I purchased an item from Puffin's Roost at Epcot, had it sent to the Poly and forgot to pick it up before we checked out. Does anyone know what the Disney policy is for this? Thanks!

    OFFICIAL The Pirates League Thread

    We were there a few days ago on Thursday. Our son turned into Jake- he got giant black eyebrows (hilariously awesome), sideburns, cheek coloring and a hand tattoo of a pirate skull. As for accessories, he received a Captain Jake hat and silver generic sword. They told me a t-shirt was available...

    Pirates League Questions

    Can you explain the picture process after the make-over is complete? Is it worth waiting around for or can I just take some pictures on my own and be on our way? Would the kids be missing out on anything? 5 year old is becoming Jake the Pirate and Daughter is getting the Mermaid make-up. Thanks!

    Magic Band "NEW KIND" -Update: Post #70-

    Maybe a small strip of kinesio tape (KT or Rocktape) underneath the band to prevent it from touching your skin? It should stay on through the whole day. I've worn it through several marathons and it lasted for days. Waterproof too - meaning it won't come off if it gets wet.

    "Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

    Considering our second ever park visit on Halloween Night. How big are the crowds for MNSSHP? Is it worth it for younger kids (7 year old girl and 4 year old boy)? How crowded is it? Our first visit was mid-May in 2015 and crowds were light.

    Ratatouille in the Parks

    Just came back from our trip and no Remy to be found. We didn't check the gift shops so maybe hold out hope for that. Disney Paris has the entire Ratatouille set up- very cool. I share your disappointment!!

    Toy Story Mania, is it really all that?

    If I have a FP for Toy Story Mania from 10:05 - 11:05am, assuming we get in line at 10:05am is it possible to make it to the Frozen Sing Along at 10:30? Do CM ever let you in a few mins early? We have to leave HS at 11am so I am hoping to squeeze both in. Wish I could get an early FP. Too bad I...

    Where is the best Character Dining to see Princesses?

    Going off topic of the character dining..... Regardless of the FP+ or ADR issues, check on Kenny the Pirate's webpage and his character locator app. His site is great and very detailed. It might be helpful figuring out which princesses you can track down with minimal wait time.
