    Getting into Oga's Cantina

    We were able to snag a reservation for the first week of August. I was told by a pass holder that they are now allowing table sharing, which allows them to open up more dining reservations now.

    *No longer relevant* (Maxpass/Fastpass: an overview and some strategy)

    In our experience as a party of 5 for a recent 3 day visit. We only bought MP for all of us for the first two days at DL. I only bought MP for myself on the 3rd day which was our CA day because I wanted the photopass entitlement for pictures that day. I do not feel buying a MP for CA is worth it...

    What's your favorite character breakfast?

    Another vote for Plaza Inn. We are used to seeing 4-5 characters doing character dining at WDW, so we think it’s a great value to see a good variety of so many characters at Plaza Inn, plus it’s already a perk that it’s in the park already. We also opt for the 10:30 reservation and it’s a great...

    DL trip 3/12- 3/15.... amazing time!!!

    We were there Monday, March 11 to Wednesday, March 13 and I agree with you that the parks were definitely crowded, what I would consider 8-9ish crowds. We are WDW pros and are familiar with Disney planning, and I agree that people who aren’t unfamiliar with FP strategizing would have been...

    GCH - better to have a daybed or pull-out sofa for family of 5?

    This is what we had. Our couch folded down into a daybed which IMHO was comparable in size to a twin bed.

    GCH - better to have a daybed or pull-out sofa for family of 5?

    We just checked out yesterday. Our kids are 12, 10 and 7. We had the daybed.

    *March 2019 Check In*

    Just wrapped up our trip from Monday, March 11th to Wednesday, March 13th and had an amazing time. Yes, the parks are crowded as it’s apparent that lots of the crowd are Spring Breakers (seriously we met so many people like ourselves, from Texas LOL). We are former SoCal passholders (from 8...

    Don’t Do This at Rope Drop - Peter Pan

    I’m so sorry that happened to you. Rope drop brings out the worst in some grown adults. Because PP is a slow loading ride, I know that is not the ride I want to eat up time waiting for. Our strategy has always been to ride other surrounding rides first and come back when a 30 min wait isn’t a...

    *March 2019 Check In*

    Today was my “60 days out” so I booked a Blue Bayou lunch ADR and mid-afternoon BBB for our two youngest DDs (7 and 10 yr old). This will likely be the a last hurrah of doing BBB because they’ll likely outgrow it by the next time we go back. Will book our Plaza Inn character breakfast tomorrow...

    *March 2019 Check In*

    We will be there March 11-13 piggybacking DL with a trip to San Diego (our kids’ spring break is that week). We used to live in San Diego almost ten years ago and are a former SoCal pass holders. We will be staying at the GCH. We love WDW, but our sentimental favorite park will always be DL...

    Justifying the price of GCH

    We’ve only stayed there once, and it was a 2 night stay with a military discount. I could never justify paying full price/rack rate for it though. It definitely was nice to stay on-property and be within footsteps of the park. It’s a beautiful resort, but even when I stay at deluxe resorts at...

    Sanaa or Boma?

    We did both Sanaa lunch and Boma dinner recently during our last visit because we were staying at AKL/Kidani Village. Both were great but if we had to pick just one to return to, I’d pick Sanaa lunch for our family. Though Boma had a lot of unique variety and I liked branching out and trying...

    Palo dress code question

    We just got off the Dream last Friday. For our Palo dinner, my hubby wore a pair of leather flip flops, and the hostess offered him loaner shoes. (I forewarned my DH about the dress code, but he didn’t listen to me)

    Sanaa???

    We checked into the AKL and loved our visit to Sanaa. The bread service is amazing! My girls loved their Mac and cheese, and cheeseburger kids’ meals, especially the dessert which was a paint your shield brownie (white chocolate topped/dipped brownie with ice cream) served on a paint palette...

    Is eleven to old for Jedi training ?

    My 11 yr old and 6 yr old DDs just did Jedi Training on our recent trip at the end of April. My 11 yr old had done it previously before on our last trip two years ago when she was 9. I prioritized rope dropping JT sign up on our Hollywood Studios half day (we park hopped to Animal Kingdom after...

    Boorish behavior

    Just got off the Dream last week. My two gems I witnessed personally: 1) My 6 yr old and I were the last ones in line for the cutoff to see Captain Mickey at the atrium on Night 1. The time he’s available to meet is clearly posted on the Navigator. The pleasant cast member came to stand behind...

    ? about H&V ADR/Jedi Training on an EMH day

    I’ve read that one of the strategies to getting to sign up for Jedi Training earlier is to book a PPO ADR at Hollywood & Vine. Would it matter to book an 8am ADR if it’s an 8am opening for EMH at HS since I know they do let PPO ADRs ahead just a little before the rope drop crowd? I have never...

    REcently booked split stay & DDP...now have 2nd thoughts

    I just want to remove the dining plan. Or if it would be logistically easier on their end to outright cancel hotel and DDP, and I just re-book the room I would gladly do that. Looks like I will just keep the DDP. I’m trying to see if I can switch out another family member to at least use the...

    REcently booked split stay & DDP...now have 2nd thoughts

    That’s what I thought and that’s what I get for making a last minute impulse decision :crazy2: in hindsight, I should have just added the room only and decided about dining package later. It’s looking like one of my kids won’t arrive until the day we check out so I just paid for a dining plan...
