    Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2025 (Feb 20-24 2025)

    I plan to run the 5k with my BFF. I think she's committed, but we will see! I can't wait to pick our hotel, and plan for the next year! I'm all over the map with where we should stay. We are both Swan/Dolphin fans, but we need to get more around property to explore when we are without our kids!

    Tips for this week for newbie?

    Thank you all - we had the BEST one day in the parks. My 10 year old daughter was the brave one to wake up early with me and get there for the 8:00 am opening (we didn't stay onsite) (arrived at 7:40, scanned right in and lined up to wait for the open). We stayed at Hyatt Place across from...

    Tips for this week for newbie?

    We have free tix and will be coming to the parks for one full day/night this Friday or Saturday. We 100% understand the crowd levels. Totally. We are satisfied if the kids get to ride velocicoaster and hulk only. Looking for some glimmer of hope that we can enjoy simply being in the parks. We...

    How is full capacity announced?

    How will we know if the park is at capacity? We are coming on a whim on 12/30 b/c we have free tickets that we feel need to be used on this trip or they will go to waste. We have been before and know the parks well and my kids are saying - even if we ride Velocicoaster once, it will be worth...

    Winter Park Help Again

    Thanks - this is very helpful. We have other times to visit the downtown during the day, so I'm thinking for dinner purposes, Bulla makes more sense. Anyone have a review of Ravenous Pig? Trying to also plan some time for just hubby and I to get out and explore a bit. Thanks!

    Winter Park Help Again

    OK - a couple of weeks out! We are spending two nights in Winter Park over the holiday break as a meeting up point with my dad who is in SE Florida. My dad and his very soon to be wife have some mobility challenges and I'm trying to understand what the Downtown area is like. We have two...

    Winter Park Questions - Commute to Camping Stadium

    interesting - thank you. i found the official info on this - nice option! in your experience, is it crazy at the end of an event waiting for these shuttles? we are scarred by last year's bowl game that we went to in miami and getting an uber back to the hotel was incredibly difficult.

    Winter Park Questions - Commute to Camping Stadium

    Thanks for the recommendations. We will consider taking an uber to the stadium. At the end of the night, it's so stressful to order/wait for an uber with masses of others doing the same. Any recommendations on car services that we can pre-book and choose a pick up spot?

    Winter Park Questions - Commute to Camping Stadium

    Will be staying in Winter Park for two nights over winter break (one of the nights will be at a Bowl Game in Orlando - so need to decide to how we want to get there). Will have one full day in Winter Park and one dinner in the area. Any suggestions welcome as well as an idea of what kind of...

    Multi-generational/mobility issues - 2 night stay - xmas week

    Looking for a two night stay the week of Christmas, offsite, that would provide a "busy" atmosphere for our family of four with kids 10 and 12 as well as grandparents who have mobility issues. My wish-list would be Swan/Dolphin or Gaylord, but it's cost prohibitive. No parks trip. Disney...

    2025 Springtime Surprise

    Is it possible to predict when Springtime Surprise would be in 2025? Easter is pretty late and if it's the third weekend again, it would be easter weekend during 2025. Thanks!

    Princess Focused Trip Help

    Good morning! I am trying to help guide my brother to put together a princess focused itinerary for his 5 year olds first trip to DLR. They will visit the parks for two days. I am not familiar with how/which princesses meet at the two parks. I do know he does not want to do the character...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend (April 13-16, 2023)

    Bummed to type this, but I am cancelling my race/trip. It's ok - I've come to terms with it! I know I can't get a refund/transfer/hold for a future race - but such a shame for the bib to be a complete waste! Are there any other options (donate, charity, etc...)???

    No Kings to the Kingdom Offered - Other Tour Ideas???

    I have one park day during runDisney in April and while I love everything Disney Parks related, I don't actually ride the majority of the rides. I'm the bag holder for the rest of the family and just love being in the parks. For this solo trip, I fully planned to do Keys to the Kingdom during...

    Keys to the Kingdom - No dates available?

    Thanks everyone. I will try to figure this out. I had tried at midnight and then early the next morning. Nothing for my actual date I’m trying for and now the same thing for the next day. Something looks different to me that I’m thinking either dates haven’t been loaded or it’s just not being...

    Keys to the Kingdom - No dates available?

    I have been very excited to book Keys to the Kingdom for my upcoming solo trip. It's during a runDisney weekend. Is it possible that could be the reason it's not offered on the one date I need?

    Springtime Surprise Weekend (April 13-16, 2023)

    This will be my arrival day/non park day. So my day to explore. I'm trying very hard to rely on Disney transportation this day since I am not on any schedule. Do you know/does anyone know much about Bar Riva at Riviera? If it's nice out, would love to sit outside.
