    Newbie Trip - 2 parks - 1 day, where to start?

    Hey! I will be going with my family to Universal next Wednesday (4/7) for their first time and my first time in six years. I've been looking around but can't seem to find an answer to this question. Which park is the best to go to first? The parks are both open from 8am to 10pm. We are early...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    Are there any 5th sleepers in Magnolia Bend or are they all in Alligator Bayou? I was hoping to be in MB this time but we have a 5th sleeper even though we don't need it, it was what was available when we booked with free dining. If this is the case, can someone recommend your favorite AB...

    POR - Alligator Bayou or Magnolia Bend?

    A while back I noticed that someone posted that they would always choose to stay in the Alligator Bayou rooms over the Magnolia Bend rooms. I've also seen some that stated that AB rooms get requested more. Could someone explain why the AB rooms are better that MB? We are going in 3 weeks and am...

    AP Preview Guest Question

    Can anyone tell me if AP holders were able to take a guest with them to Pandora during those previews, if that person didn't have an AP themselves? My mom has a Platinum AP and is wanting to surprise my husband and take him with her to the SWGE previews if she can but we don't have APs. I know...

    AP Question - will I keep my Park Hopper Plus???

    Yeah, it's more to do it that way. I looked into it from every angle. Lol! Thanks for sharing the idea.

    AP Question - will I keep my Park Hopper Plus???

    Well...the decision for upgrading my APs was just made for me anyway. I can't justify a $900 increase for our family of 4. What a bummer! I was going to pay for the platinum plus too. Oh well.

    AP prices increased [6/18/2019]

    I was just on the phone yesterday with the pass holder people to discuss our AP upgrade for our trip in August. Now that it'll be $900 more for our family, I don't think it'll be happening. Now I've got to decide if it is worth it for just one of us to get it for the discounts. We have plans to...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    Family and I are staying fro 8/10-8/17. This is not the first stay here for my husband and I but it is for our boys (10 & 7). They have stayed at POFQ and love the pool that they have over there and keep asking to go to it again on this trip. I know that the pools are shared by the two resorts...

    Is Slinky Dog Dash really 60min waits at opening?

    Thanks! We love rope dropping too. We are a family of very early risers, even on our WDW trips. We will plan to be there by 7:00. Thanks again!

    Is Slinky Dog Dash really 60min waits at opening?

    Anyone know if it is better, about the same, or worse when you arrive for 8am EMH? We are planning to be there by 7:30 but can do it earlier if need be.

    AP Question - will I keep my Park Hopper Plus???

    My family and I will be going to WDW in August. While there, we plan to upgrade to an AP for all members of the family. Right now we have the park hopper plus option so we can enjoy the water parks on this trip. We plan to upgrade on the first day when we arrive. We will upgrade to a Platinum...

    4 Parks on Christmas Day - Genius or Crazy???

    So my family and I are going this Christmas to WDW. We go at least once a year and are vets but this is our first Christmas. We are prepared for the crazy crowds and are discussing options on how to best deal with them. One thing that we've never done, is to try to do all 4 parks in one day. I...

    Cali Grill Fireworks - inside or out?

    I know that not all agree with me but I'm not really a big fan of HEA. They are ok but I'm not that impressed by the projections. I'm a die-hard Wishes fan (still missing it horribly) so I'm trying to find a new way to enjoy the fireworks and create a memory with them that will make me...

    Cali Grill Fireworks - inside or out?

    FINALLY got a dinner ADR at California Grill on 1/20 at 6:10. The fireworks are at 8 pm. From those of you that have been before, should we request a window seat (knowing it's not guaranteed) and hope to watch from inside or is it better to go to the observation deck? I'm trying to gauge view...

    Food and Wine in the rain

    Thanks. I'm actually from FL and am very familiar with the weather. We will have ponchos and umbrellas with us. I just didn't know if anyone had a spot that was best to get some foods from the festival from and sit down to enjoy the food in a covered spot. That's the kind of thing I was looking...

    Food and Wine in the rain

    Looking for advice - my family and I will be going to Food and Wine this Friday and there’s an 80% chance of rain (as of now). I’m wondering if anyone can give tips on how to navigate the festival in the rain (with two boys 9 and 6). I’m hoping the forecast changes but figured I’d try to plan...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    Is it crazy to think that I didn't even think about ordering twice?! I think that'll be the plan. Pumpkin one day and regular the next. Then I'll come back and report on them for people. Only 3 weeks to go! And our magic bands came in today!

    To use Magical Express or not???

    Thank you guys so much for all the input! I think we are going to use MDE. It doesn't seem like taking a Lyft would be that much more convenient. There is something to be said for the fun ride to the resort too. I do have one more question. I've decided to go ahead and let them deliver our...
