Wonderful thanks so much the pictures of the pool look great. Can I ask another question since you know the area so well, we want to go stay somewhere for 3-4 nights near a beach to relax after WDW and was hoping to find somewhere family friendly within 2 hours drive of Orlando. I’ve been...

Hi we are a family of six from Australia planning to visit WDW for 2 weeks. we are going to split our stay between on and off property to try and keep costs down. I’ve been researching off property accommodation and I would love to know what Lake Buena vista resort is like? It looks like it has...

Thanks for all the fantastic information this really is a huge help. Your point about hiring a car plus parking is definitely going to add up especially for us as we would need to hire a 7 seater, last time we were in the US we hired a Dodge caravan so obviously that will add to the cost. I’m...

I noticed the Big Blue pool at AOA is closed for refurbishing in fall 2020, do you think that would matter too much or is that the best pool at the resort? Also is it likely that the family suites at All star music will have been refurbished by September next year? Most likely we will visit in...

Wow that is a lot more space and it would be a big help having a kitchen do you know if they have any shuttles to the parks?

So much fantastic advice, I am definitely going to look into the Disney springs hotels even if for part of our trip. So many things to think about. I love all this planning :sulley:

Thank you everyone for your advice there are some great options for me to consider. I should add our kids will be 19, 17, 13, 4.

I love this idea, would you recommend staying on or off property first or does it really not matter?

Hi our family of six are planning on visiting from Australia In 2020. I know it’s still a long time away but I’ve been trying to work out where we should stay. What is the best options budget wise for a family of six to stay on property? Would it be getting 2 value rooms, renting DVC points or...

As others have said it's expensive to travel within Australia. I've lived in south Australia my whole life and I've never been to kangaroo island, because it costs a lot to get over and I can go interstate for the same price. Have been to Western Australia about 10 times(3.5hr flight from...

Can't wait to hear about the dessert party

I'm really enjoying your TR, we will be taking our first ever visit in November so I really enjoy reading your tips for first timers.

Thank you so much for all the information. What is the block out days? I don't think we will use max pass as with five people over five days it adds up. I plan to use rider switch as we have a toddler who can't ride a lot of the rides and regular fastpass, hopefully that will work for us. What...

We will be in Anaheim for 7days but we also plan on visiting knottsberry farm and San Diego zoo for two of those days. We are staying at the Hyatt House, which looks really nice.

How would you all suggest we plan our very first day in the parks? (Will be nov 27th) bare in mind we it's our very first trip to DL. Our kids are 16,14,10 & 1yrs. What time should we get there? Where do we go first? Should we just work our way through each land? I have done so much planning...

Our family of six will be coming all the way from Australia for our first ever DL trip. :yay: We will be there from Nov 26-Dec 4, we are so excited but also feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the planning. I've waited for so long to visit DL, when my 1st child was born I held him and promised...

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realise they held double the amount. I'm a bit confused now, maybe I should increase our credit limit just to be on the safe side.

We are also going on our first trip Nov/Dec with our four kids (16,14,10,1yrs) we've decided to split our time up between Anaheim, Vegas and then spending 3nights in LA. We have booked The Magic castle hotel, which seems to be very popular with other Australian's and has great reviews on trip...

Thanks for the update, I'm just like you such a planner I think you need to be with a big family. I think the hardest thing for me will be just going with the flow and accepting that not everything will always go the way I planned it. I can't wait to read more :o

I'm really enjoying your trip report. We are visiting DL from Australia with our four kids the week after thanksgiving this year. I hope the crowds won't be too overwhelming. I look forward to reading more :sunny:
