    Crowds Christmas week and Express Pass

    I will say that the lines for Hagrid's were pretty extreme (180-240 minutes) most of the time. We didn't track Velocicoaster but I would assume those were long as well. Generally, lines seemed to lighten before the parks closed and waits were a bit shorter. The holiday decorations and shows...

    Crowds Christmas week and Express Pass

    Waits ranged from walking right onto rides up to a 30min wait for Gringotts with express pass. Generally, I think they try to say that express pass should be 50% of the wait of the regular line, but the express pass waits were far shorter. For example, Spiderman was 70 minutes for the regular...

    PORTOFINO BAY HOTEL INFO...FAQ`s and more.......

    We added it to our minion suite for our trip last week. We were told it is not always available at check-in if they are at capacity so we emailed when we made our reservation and asked to add the club lounge. It was all coordinated when we checked in. It was $150/night. I should add - because...

    How is Olivander's during early entry?

    We did EE last week (also stayed at RPR) and went straight to Olivanders at USO. I'm not sure if USO is doing EE this month and it might just be IoA. We got in right away. My kids were not selected for the wand experience, but that was fine as they were a bit nervous since it was their very...

    Crowds Christmas week and Express Pass

    We are currently on our flight back and were in the parks Wednesday-Friday. We should have been there Tuesday too but after a six hour flight delay, we finally got to PBH around 9:30pm. The crowds were intense. We took advantage of the early entry and express passes that came with staying at...

    Changes to PBR club level?

    Hi all - we just checked out of PBH this morning. We had a minions suite and added club level. With trying to get to the parks early each morning we only had breakfast there today but they did have the southwest burritos, breakfast potatoes and hard boiled eggs. Also available was oatmesl...

    Club Level Hard Rock or Portofino Bay?

    Anyone know the hours of the club at PB? Wondering how breakfast works if you are doing early entry at the parks. I just added club lounge access to my December reservation in a minion suite.

    making decision about 10yo dog and cancer...

    We actually had a very similar situation with our shih tzu exactly two years ago. He had a history of clogged anal glands that needed to be manually expressed and the vet noticed something didn't seem right. We biopsied and the results were cancer. We took him to a specialist who confirmed no...

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    I missed responding to your note in my previous response, sorry! Amazing how a kid's personality can flip like that! If I've learned anything in my short time as a parent it's that you can't count on ANYTHING! It sounds like your experience and ours was similar. No stroller, no sitting on the...

    I can't THANK YOU all enough with your supportive comments and for sharing your challenging experiences with young kids. They definitely put a smile on my face (sharing the misery?) and made me laugh!!! We are back home in the frigid Chicago weather and the boys are so happy. I've been on an...

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    Thanks! I appreciate the pat on the back and agree that swimming in Disney is still vacation. While I'm looking forward to getting back home, the subzero temps in Chicago do not make for swimming weather!!!! While I'm sorry to hear that you had a rough trip when your daughter was younger, I...

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    Thanks! We won't be doing any big trips again for quite some time. Luckily, my mom is here with us and she is just amazing. I did kick her out a while ago and told her to go to the parks and have some fun. She keeps joking how tough I was at this age and how this is payback.....

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    Well, I'm sad to say our BC CL stay has been a bust. Not at all due to the resort or amenities (love it here), but on a personal note, I was overly optimistic with this trip and our kids are just too young. We have twin 2.5 year old boys and one is going through a tough stage right now where...

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    Sorry! Just seeing this now. I think for our group of five it was about $65 plus tip. Not cheap but worth it for us with two toddlers who were already spent from the flight.

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    Thanks! We are in 3501 which seems to be much further away. Boo to that but hopefully we can enjoy the view of the Epcot fireworks! Really appreciate the info! On another note the magical express line extended through the entire terminal. With two toddlers we were not waiting. I would estimate...
