    Dinner for Group of 20?

    Hoop Dee Doo! We just returned and did Hoop Dee Doo with a group of 19 and it was AMAZING. We paid for the priority seating, and we were right in the middle of the floor! There was so much engagement with the show, and my daughter was even picked to participate in the show. I love Hoop Dee...

    Are dining reservations just extra difficult to get right now?

    This was EXACTLY us, same window (Dopey Challenge/Marathon Weekend). We were able to book on the phone but we still can't edit or change on the app. We also have a ticket in to IT. Worried because, as luck would have it, we are back down about six weeks later for a wedding (expensive start to...

    BWV - Is it worth buying now?

    Having just lost our BLT through ROFR, we are doing some soul-searching and we realize that we truly LOVE Boardwalk, and that is where we want to stay. I've been spending all day crunching numbers, and with dues and such, I am just not sure if the value is great for purchase or if we are better...

    Bah! We sent our offer in at the same price point on 5/5. I am braced that it'll be taken, but like... what are they waiting for?!? I am sorry - even being braced, I am still going to be so sad. And waiting 32+ days for a negative answer is cruel. (I mean, all things relative, I realize...

    BLT ROFR

    We are waiting on one... When we made our offer, the broker shared that it was a good time to try BLT and that it didn't seem like a ton were being bought back. Since we put our offer it, it seems like ALL are being bought back. I am sort of at the point where I just want them to take it (if...

    I know we are brand new to this process, but the time having to wait for ROFR is bananas and also could be a slight impact. I waited a LONG time to make our first offer because I wasn't sure I could stomach the time needing to wait for Disney to rip your dreams out from under you (and this...

    Am I the only one who thinks Raglan Road is overrated?

    We won't be back, and that's ok! We have a great Irish pub style restaurant here in good old Portland, so in terms for meeting a food need, we can do better locally. BUT my disappointment was in our own excitement of bringing our toddlers to see the dancing and live music. We were jazzed...

    Am I the only one who thinks Raglan Road is overrated?

    We've had the opposite happen the two times we've gone in the past four years! We went the first time with three toddlers, the second time a year later (kids were going on 3 and 4 years old); and these are kids who LOVE to dance, watch dance, be in the thick of it! We put a note on our...

    Adding a person when checking in on app?

    Thank you all for the insight! It seemed to me like it was definitely a random offering! We do have another reservation (the timing is just "off" enough to make it complicated, but we certainly will do what we need to do!) but would love to have that extra person with us!

    Adding a person when checking in on app?

    Happy Thursday! I have been seeing comments about people being allowed (asked, even) if they want to add a person to an existing reservation on the app when checking in for their ADR. We are a large group going to Disney in 45 days, and have a reservation where we are one person short. We are...

    Share your stories of being *That* family

    These stories have been amazing to read. We all have those moments! Our moments were great examples of thinking you were prepared, but life not quite being on board. My strongest memory of being "that family" came on our first trip with our 14 month old twins. We had dinner at Coral Reef...

    Frozen Ever After and 14 month old?

    Also, our kids hadn't seen Frozen prior to the ride (that immediately changed after this ride...) but if you've shown Frozen, or have access to Frozen toys you can re-characterize Marshmallow to make him less scary. We have Frozen bath toys that came with a Marshmallow, and he's not a big bad...

    Frozen Ever After and 14 month old?

    Our 14 month olds had very different reactions; one fell asleep on Grandma in line and slept through the entire ride, the second LOVED the ride so much we had to stand in line a second time for round two! I think parent reactions also have a role in rides like this; if you can kind of celebrate...

    Thank you for Pete

    I am fairly new to the podcasts and world of You Tube (I had a major surgery last year and spent some recovery time dreaming of Disney while the snow and cold of Maine in January was my reality) so this was the first I had heard, but it makes it even more impactful that it has been discussed...

    Thank you for Pete

    I am not sure if this will be seen, but wanted to take a moment to thank Pete for his discussion about suicide and providing some personal light on the subject. I lost a dear friend a few years ago to suicide; she was the funniest, brightest star in our group of friends, filled with...

    CBR or Beach Club?

    It's been a few years since we stayed at CBR, but between the two, if cost isn't a huge issue, and knowing that you are looking for more resort time, I'd consider YC. (And we are a family that LOVES YC & Boardwalk, but also LOVE CBR.) While the pool is nice, I am not sure anything on property...

    Best practices for trip with a newborn

    Some great advice on here, and I agree with what others have said that it sounds like you are able and willing to take it slow without an agenda, which will help! We didn't bring our twins to Disney until they were one, but we got out of the house A LOT when they were little little and a few...
