OMG, I just realized that Sterling K Brown is the narrator during my trip and now I want to go so bad! I am a huge fan of This is Us. Joey McIntyre is an option too, but I was never that big of a NKOTB fan lol. It would give me something to do while the rest of the crew is off riding rides if...

Thanks for the tips! I have been eyeing Royal Pacific as well although the space of the kids suite would be hard to give up. We did the Polynesian with four of us for our last trip in 2017, but I know the Poly has some of the largest rooms at Disney. So, I think we could make a 2 Queen work...

Thank you! The Christmas Tree hunt and New York sound perfect for me since I don't ride rides. I could amuse myself while the rest of my crew is riding.

Based on what my planner quoted for a 5-night stay in the Kids Suite at Sapphire, it was $1600 more for the entire trip to do that rather than the 2-Bedroom suite at Dockside. So, around $2200-2300 for 2-Bedroom at Dockside and around $3800 for Kids Suite at Sapphire. Of course, the prices I...

Thanks for the tip! We do plan to have two full days at the parks and two half days. So, it sounds like our day of "following Harry's journey" should be less ride focused and more about soaking in the experience and riding Hogwarts Express. We would still have another day and a half to...

So, there is a HUGE price difference between the Kids Suite at Sapphire and the 2-Bedroom Suite at Dockside. We are looking at a 5-night stay from December 15-20. Is Sapphire worth the the extra money? I know the suite is about 100 square feet bigger at Sapphire, but what are the other...

Our travel party will definitely include my DH (44), myself (43) and our DD (11). We have invited my SD (21), but if she can't come the dates we are planning, we are considering inviting a friend along for our DD. DH and SD will ride almost anything except she didn't want to do Tower of Terror...

Thank you! My planner did say that with Universal it may be possible to add ExpressPass to just one day's worth of tickets so we could consider doing that. I like the idea of starting at Diagon Alley then riding the Hogwarts Express to Hogsmeade/Hogwarts so that would be the day to have the...

I love Touring Plans! It was my go-to for planning my 2017 trip. Do they do Unviersal as well as Disney? If so, I may go ahead and pay the membership.

We have only been to Disney World once - the first week of October 2017 where we had 5 park days and did the Halloween party. I know so much has changed since then, but I pretty much planned that trip completely on my own and had every thing planned to the minute using this website, Touring...

Does Disboards have a crowd calendar or can you tell me which website you use?

You have both been SO helpful and I have one other question...contemplating starting a thread just for this question. I want to go to Universal in December for multiple reasons - cooler weather, Christmas activities/parties, and we have an earlier than usual Christmas break with school. Last...

Thank you for the response!

Thank you for all of the tips! We are very early in our planning stages. I have a friend who is a planner for Disney and Universal, although she is certainly more familiar with Disney. I am waiting on a cost from her so I can get my husband to agree to the trip and then hope to be making a...

We will be buying park to park for Universal with the ticket deal they have going on right now just so they can ride Hogwarts Express. Based on what you are recommending, we would go to Islands of Adventure on Friday the 15th after we arrive in Orlando and stay until park closing to see the...

Just hopping on your post to say that I have a similar situation. We are hopefully going to Orlando in December, mainly for Harry Potter world, but we haven't been to Disney since 2017 and must see Galaxy's Edge! We will only have one day for that and I'm debating the same thing as you - full...

Perfect! That's why I want to have one park day where we are either arriving in to Orlando or spend time at the resort and just go to Islands of Adventure that night and stay until park close. Then we will still have at least two days to experience both sides of HP World in addition to that...

Thank you! That seems a little better than with the Disney shows that are just once a night. Hopefully more of a chance to see it then if we just wait around until park close lol.

Thanks! Does anything require any special reservations or additional tickets/costs? I think the Christmas projections on Hogwarts would be a must see, so are there any "best" viewing spots or best time to stake out spots for that?

Hello! I am returning to Disboards after a six year hiatus after our one and only Disney trip in October 2017. This time we are eyeing a trip from December 15-20 of this year (quick planning!) mainly to Universal because of Harry Potter World. With the ticket deal, we would have 5 days of...
