    Ohana....any better lately?

    We just went yesterday for the first time. I was honestly a little nervous about it based on the reviews, and it couldn’t have gone better. We checked in early — about 20 minutes ahead of our reservation. We were texted two minutes later that our table was ready. This meant that we unexpectedly...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    Looks like it'll be in the 60s.... and given that it's in the 40s here, I think I'm ok with braving the pool at that temp. 8-)

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    I can't believe it's finally here! We'll be arriving at the Polynesian tomorrow -- first time even seeing it in person. I requested Fiji (the views on standards look nice!), but I'll be happy with pretty much anything. We have Ohana reservations at 8. We'll probably get there around 4-5 so...

    Stay at WDW, day trip to USO?

    It depends on your interest in things -- we don't love the really big coasters, so one day with express passes is absolutely enough for us (Harry Potter, ET, MIB, and Spider-Man being our favorite rides, and walking around The Simpsons/Jurassic Park is fun). I do think that right now, unless you...

    Stay at WDW, day trip to USO?

    I think that with every trip we make to Orlando, we'll always do a day at UO (probably two when the new park opens), but I'll always want to stay at WDW. Since it sounds like you're going to do at least a day in the parks there, I don't see why this would be crazy. Full disclosure, I worked at...

    Struggling with MK FP+ choices

    You have no idea how much I appreciate this tip!! Thanks! (I have a big problem with motion sickness but force myself to go on the ones that aren't TOO bad anyway. It's usually spinning/coasters that go around in circles that get me.) Perfect, thanks! I think this is what we're going to end up...

    Struggling with MK FP+ choices

    I hadn't thought about that! Ok, based on all the great advice, I think I'm going to try to snag 7 Dwarfs, Splash, and Haunted Mansion, afternoonish. :) Thanks for the help, all!

    Struggling with MK FP+ choices

    We were planning on Space Mountain for the darkness element, but if Seven Dwarfs has some cool dark ride moments and is much smoother, then I can probably convince the party to switch! Do you think it’s the least motion sickness inducing of the coasters? Thank both of you for the help! I was...

    Struggling with MK FP+ choices

    Hi all! It's coming up on our 60 days, but I'm stumped on what to do for our Magic Kingdom fast passes. We aren't coaster people, so the only two "exciting" rides we're doing are Space Mountain (for the darkness novelty) and Splash Mountain, but we do plan to do pretty much everything else we...

    Anyone ever dine at the Mara?

    The Mara is awesome! We ate there multiple times when staying at AKL. They have really interesting things on the menu, some standard stuff, and nice desserts. AKL has such great food all-around and The Mara is no exception.

    *** January 2019 Thread ***

    Thanks everyone for walking through this. I was actually able to add Animal Kingdom for my first park day on the 27th, but then it greyed out again! I was so confused. I guess I'll just need to keep watching it like a hawk.

    *** January 2019 Thread ***

    I am oblivious but I have been stalking the same thing. When do we typically get that info? EDIT: Just saw earlier in the thread that it's about 190 days out. Eagerly waiting!!

    DDP Advice?

    We're there for 9 nights/10 days -- fortunately our TA spelled it all out for us or I probably would have gotten it mixed up! Thanks for all the advice here! This is really helpful. The Prime Time and pizza share ideas are things I hadn't even considered.

    Ride Spoiler, Yay or Nay?

    No spoilers! The only things about new rides that I look up are about motion sickness.

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    Great! We plan to walk over to GF as well and I didn't really even think about that convenience. Thank you so much, and this is great feedback! I've never been on the property before so I have no concept of how spread out things actually are, but I've read a lot of comments from frustrated...

    2018 Disney Dining Plan Prices & General Discussion

    Dumb q but I haven't been able to figure this out. My husband's family might be joining us for part of our trip. They would like to join us for one of our table service dinners. We are on the DDP and they will not be. Will we be able to use our credits while they pay out of pocket if we're on...

    DDP Advice?

    Hey all! We just booked our vacation + dining plan for January 2019. It is only my second time to the parks in over a decade, and my first time using the dining plan, so I would love some advice on what experienced folks think might be the best way to spend our table service credits. We are...
