    Same day fast passes

    I had a huge success with this in our recent June 18-25 trip for 4 people! These are the same-day FP+we snagged after using our initial three (we tried to move up the initial ones as we tap in, to be able to look for additional FP+ as much as possible: Wed EPCOT - (RD Soarin', Initial 3...

    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    We just got back from our 7 night stay at AKL Jambo - It was absolutely lovely! It was our first stay here and kids really loved the hotel. We had a standard view and asked for first pot of Kudu trail rooms with partial view, but ended up with a similar room on Ostrich trail with nice view...

    6 park days - what parks? No park hopping

    We have six park days and we are doing 2MK, 2EP, 1AK and 1HS. We didn't really get to WS in EP last time and really want to spend some time there. As MK is good for grabbing same-day fastpasses, we think 2 days is sufficient. I have two boys 8 and 5, but they are more into rides vs. character...

    This shop has many Disney designs and some designs offer dry fit materials! I just got two shirts for my boys and they are good quality. Shipping took a while though so be warned if you are leaving soon! https://www.etsy.com/shop/BranchBirds?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=592285331

    Jiko on arrival day - timing?

    Thank you for all your thoughts! What happens if I book Jiko through Open table? Is there difference between MDX vs. OT reservation? I wouldn't have to pay cancellation for OT, right?

    Where to buy QUALITY family shirts for Disney?

    We just got our boys a matching t-shirts from this Etsy shop. I like them because they have options with tank tops, and different materials. They even have Dry-fit material for some designs! We are going 100% dry-fit this time, so foregoing all cotton disney shirts from previous trips (except...

    Handheld Fans?

    I just ordered two of the very similar fans from Amazon for our upcoming trip in two weeks. They are rechargeable and moves a lot of air, and I think it will work well... I haven't tested them in Orlando heat though! They fold but definitely adds to the park bag bulk.

    Jiko on arrival day - timing?

    We are landing at MCO at 2pm and staying at AKL. I made a reservation at Jiko at 6:30pm, assuming that is plenty of time to take DME, check in and settle in. Would we be ok, barring any flight delays, obviously? Thoughts? I see I can move it to 6:45 or 7:40 within MDX.. but 7:40 is kind of...

    Rain Rain Rain

    Question: What happens to FP+ if ride is shut down because of rain? Do they convert to anytime FP? ? I am not a frequent visitor, but I remember our last trip in June, forecast called for rain every day, but it was literally a quick shower a few times through the entire stay.

    Keeping the children watered...

    When we were still using stroller, we carried two insulated bottles and it wasn't a big deal as we had a stroller. This time, we are opting for one collapsible water bottle for the family of four. We will request water from QS and carry a small amount of left over from drinking, if any. That...

    Is Disney Springs a waste of time ?

    We went last time during our 7 night visit, and it was a nice shopping mall and a few interesting things. We ate at T-Rex and checked out lego store, etc. We are not going back this time during the same length trip. To our family, I think time is better spent at the park, or even the resort...

    Park arrival time for RD for these rides...

    Thank you... So add 30 min for security & ticket turnstile & EMH tap in for AK, etc? Would that be sufficient? Too much? Too little? Thanks for helping. We didn't really RD last time we were there, so I am unfamiliar..

    Park arrival time for RD for these rides...

    I was thinking "arrive at the gate by the bus" time. So would still need to get through security, turnstile and walk up to the rope. Maybe I need to add more time in general for that?

    How long did you have to wait for FOP when arrived at 6:45am?

    Park arrival time for RD for these rides...

    I think at least me and DS8 would be up for early morning if it means one extra ride of FOP! DH and DS5 will be a different story....

    Park arrival time for RD for these rides...

    Thank you everyone for your inputs.. We will plan to arrive earlier on the days suggested! @Alli76 - I think you are right! If we really make it at 645, we might be able to do FOP on stand by! We have FP later in the morning, but we haven't been to AK since Pandora opened and the kids are...
