We enjoyed Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Slinky Dog Dash in the evening, for all the reasons mentioned above. Being around the Pandora area in Animal Kingdom in the evening is spectacular, also.

I'm sure crowds will vary from third week of October to Thanksgiving week, but we had 10p-12a EMH at Magic Kingdom and were satisfied with what we were able to accomplish and experience during the extra hours. Lines weren't walk-on status, but we weren't waiting an hour for Space Mountain...

We sent out #CastCompliment tweets and tagged @WDWToday on Twittr after each night of our recent trip. For our CM’s that really wowed is during our stay at the Contemporary, we also wrote handwritten notes (DD10’s idea) of appreciation and delivered them to the front desk to be passed onto...

All of the Happily Ever After Dessert Party events begin at Tomorroland Terrace. If you purchase the Plaza Garden Viewing tickets, you’ll make your way to the reserved Garden area for HEA. If you purchase the Tomorrowland Terrace Viewing tickets, you’ll stay at Tomorrowland Terrace for HEA...

Is it possible to upgrade just one day of the tickets to a Park Hopper status? (I'm unsure if this is possible, so apologies if it isn't.) That way, you could have the FoP FP+, but still have the flexibility to play your last day by ear, a little bit.

We just returned from the Contemporary Resort in late October. We originally scheduled a Garden Wing room, and was moved at check-in back into the Main Tower. We wandered into the Garden Wing, as it's the only place with laundry facilities. It is much quieter than the hustle of the main tower...

As someone who just returned and did both MK EMM and the Happily Ever After Dessert Party in the same trip, let’s talk about pros and cons of both: EMM PROS: If you’re an early rising family, this is a no-brainer. Access to several popular MK rides (including 7DMT) in a very limited ticket...

We just returned a week ago from our trip. Have I missed the boat to call back about a bounce back offer?

Awesome news for your trip, and way to not give up on searching for FP's. Enjoy it!

For the 10/22 fireworks, everyone mainly stood where they were seated in waiting. That seemed to be a wave of standing from the front of the garden to the back, and then you saw people shift around slightly. From the back rail, we comfortably had 5-6 feet of open air in front of us. I have also...

Experiences from the 10/22 "Before" Party, with the Garden viewing: (For context: We were at the parks from 10/22-10/26. HEA was only available on 10/22 and 10/24 during our visit.) We arrived at 7:45PM to check in and receive wristbands. We were escorted to our seats by a cast member and...

We really considered doing this, but I was unsure if DD10 would be able to handle it all well. It sounds like a blast, though!

Thank you! I would never expect all of the great things that happened to us on this trip to ever happen again. But for this trip, a dad/daughter trip for her at age 10, it left a strong impression on us.

We just wanted to be kind in return. We had a whole bucket of pixie dust poured on us during this trip and tried to find any way we could to pay it forward (I'd tell more about it, if I can ever get this Trip Report finished!) Notes may not have been much, but we wanted to send them anyway. I...

From my one-time stay, I think you'll be fine in nearly any room there, but I'm sure some are more opportune than others. And you'll have the observation deck on the north side of the fourth floor at your leisure, also. ENJOY the ability to walk to and from Magic Kingdom! It's such a nice perk.

If these are your priorities, and you don't plan on trying to ride/experience those attractions much/at all after the EMM event, go for it. It's your event to take advantage of, as you see fit. The poster above is correct, you could likely score FastPasses for Princess meets, and you might want...

We just returned from a 5-day trip, and had a 2:30 lunch reservation at CRT. We thoroughly enjoyed what was a late lunch for us, and DD10 cleared out her entire appetizer, entree and half of her dessert. I have a 10-year-old. I know what her energy level was at the parks at 8:30 most nights. You...

Same with us! We probably could have accomplished more during our party night, but we were having a great time just doing some photos, admiring everyone's costumes, taking part in a few rides and sticking around late for the signature party shows/fireworks. We did not do any trick or treating, I...

I'm sorry to hear your experience wasn't great. We were literally on property and parks most of the same week as you (10/21-10/26, 10/21 was just a late night arrival, though) and literally had what I'd consider as a dream week at Disney. But everyone's magic varies, I guess. I would concur...

We arrived at WDW on 10/21. I'd been looking at weather forecasts coming into that week, and you had an unfortunate hot streak those two days, from what it appeared. :-/
