    First time visit- which park?

    I have a friend who is going to Disneyland for one day. She and her family have been to Disney World but never Disneyland. Which park would you recommend?

    What was going on with the crowds at MK last night?

    We were there and I have never seen that night so crowded. That was our third time in four years going on that particular Wednesday night. The crowds are usually pretty bad until the fireworks. But it never calmed down. We finally left around 11:00 when it was clear the crowds were not getting...

    Thanksgiving 2019

    This will be our first time going at Thanksgiving. I was looking at this year's crowd calendars (except TP) to get some ideas. I still miss Josh's easywdw calendars by the way. Everything I've read indicates that you should avoid MK on Thanksgiving Day. However, I've seen two calendars that are...

    Is it worth losing FP's to avoid Columbus Day crowds at F&W?

    We went on Monday and Wednesday last year of that week. I didn't notice a big difference in the crowds. That's just become a busy week. The first time we went for Fall Break we were there for the first week of October. The second week was definitely more crowded last year. However, it was very...

    Online Check-In with Room Requests

    That is such a Disney thing to leave the drop down boxes on the website but make them non-operational.

    Online Check-In with Room Requests

    I called tech support today because the drop down boxes for room requests were grayed out in the on-line check-in options. The CM told me that they have changed their system and it is not possible to make room requests online. She said I would just have to make my request when I check-in. She...

    How important is avoiding EMH?

    I've never stayed at a park all day having morning EMH. I think that one hour is not worth how crowded it will be all day. However, I think the night EMH is great! Two hours with lower crowds in the coolest part of the day is worth it. We stayed at MK last night until 2:00 am and rode anything...

    MNSSHP 2017 - Strategy in the making.

    We want to spend a couple of hours just riding rides during the party. Are the waits shorter between 7-9 or 10:30-12:00?

    can't figure it out...

    I got one too. My original FP time was 8:30-9:00. When they extended the park closing past 9:00, they extended my FP to 9:30

    OCTOBER MAGIC KINGDOM HOURS EXTENDED!!! (later closes and earlier openings)

    They definitely opened up some more FP. I was able to get an 8:00 a FP for 7DMT. I think we are going to keep our BOG breakfast for 8:20. The kids didn't want to drop it. It feels wrong to eat during prime riding time. But we will pre-order and not eat leisurely. I think my girls just want a...

    OCTOBER MAGIC KINGDOM HOURS EXTENDED!!! (later closes and earlier openings)

    Woohoo! I scheduled BOG PPO breakfast for 8:20 just to get an advantage for 7DMT. Now I'm trying to decide if I will cancel or just try to get in one ride before breakfast. I wonder how bad the stampede will be with an 8:00 opening.

    October hours

    A few weeks ago they extended MK hours until 11:00 for just the first week of October. It's strange they didn't increase the rest of the month because I have read the second week may be even more crowded. They are currently closing MK at 9:00 on the Sunday of Columbus Day weekend. I think that...

    Dollywood/WDW back to back trip comparision

    I in no am trying to disparage Wal-Mary shoppers. I have been there many times as a shopper myself. I would try to explain what I meant but mousefan73 explained it very well. In addition, I also go to Gatlinburg so invisibly I have no real problem with the types of people who go there as well...

    Dollywood/WDW back to back trip comparision

    I live in TN just a few hours from Pigeon Forge. I have been there many times but never to Dollywood. I don't like shows and most of our family doesn't ride big coasters. I have been several times for work conferences but enjoyed the personal trips where we rented a cabin. Many of them are very...

    Does going during June really suck?

    We went this year in early June. I thought it was less crowded than October. Granted it did rain a lot while we were there which may have helped with the crowds. As everyone mentioned, it's just a lot hotter in June. But I think it's totally doable if you take an afternoon break.
