Not sure if I understand which resorts you would be looking at -if you mean you were leaning toward the moderate resorts, then I would suggest Port Orleans French Quarters. It is the smallest Disney moderate resort, which might be great for you daughter, due to the sensory issues. I also believe...

I don't think it would be incorrect to say that most people who vacation at Disney, believe the trip is expensive. I also believe I would be correct in saying that even the people who can easily afford a Disney vacation believe the trip is expensive. The OP mentioned food. I would agree that...

Happy, happy birthday!!

I feel that how a family does Disney, often depends on their length of stay, the ages of family members, and if their trip is a "once in a lifetime" or a "we will be back" trip. Your children are on the young side, and from your post I am thinking that you will be back. No idea of a typical...

My biggest tip-get there a bit before the park opens. You can get a lot done with the lower crowds in the first hour or two. After that, the lines are long.

Early next year we are doing a family trip to Disney (daughters, a SIL, and grandkids). I looked into villas, but ultimately decided on separate rooms in the same hotel. When I reserved the rooms, I requested that we be in close proximity. Honestly, even though we all get along, a day at the...

If you are going to Universal just so the kids can see Harry Potter Land, then I think that one night, in a deluxe-you have easy walk times to the hotel and the Express Pass (make sure you can ride the Hogwarts train from park-to-park) would be enough. Get to Universal on Day 1, before the parks...

As someone who is on the older side of life, I am going to embrace technology on our next Disney trip. I believe it will make our trip better, not worse. I am already watching videos on the best way to use Genie Plus. Does the entire concept of Genie Plus annoy the heck out of me? Yes! Am I...

Our family has not been to Disney since pre-Covid. Going back in early 2025. I have been watching YouTube videos to check out the best way to tour the parks since Genie Plus came out. Ear Scouts and DFBGuide have been especially helpful. Whether or not to buy Genie Plus might depend on how many...

FishSlayer, If you have been to Disney before, then great, you might know about all about what I am going to say, BUT if not- First, even a few years away from Disney, means there can be some heavy-duty new changes that you need to learn about. I would suggest YouTube. Perhaps Ear Scouts and...

We traveled on SC I-95 in February and March, and I didn't notice any huge potholes. Maybe we were lucky and just didn't see them? We also saw a lot of road work going on from North Carolina to Georgia, so maybe crews were filling the potholes?

Lancaster is near you. Not a razzle dazzle vacation, but a lot of fun things to do. The Amish Experience has great tours. Sight and Sound Theater can be good-we have seen three of their plays and really liked two of them. There are Amish buggy rides, the Green Dragon, a pretzel factory tour...

Have fun planning your trip.

When my girls were young and we went on calm rides that could be potentially scary to smaller children, I told my daughters to shut their eyes if they were scared. It worked for us.

The cake needs to feed eight people. I think I am going to go with Olivia's Kitchen and either get a cake delivered or get one of her bakery boxes. Thank you.

I can only imagine that Disney has some of the best lawyers in the world. Maybe Bill Gates has the time and money to sue Disney, but I don't believe the average person does. If this was me, I would contact my insurance company first, to see what they had to say about recovering the costs of the...

I just visited the Facebook page of Olivia's Kichen (someone recommended this). I think I will go with Olivia. She delivers to Disney resorts for $10.

Thank you, thank you. Maybe instead of a cake, I will get cookies delivered. They would keep better in the room. Or, get a cake delivered to the resort and make dining reservation at the resort. Wonderful ideas. I appreciate everyone's thoughts.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I had never even considered some of these ideas. Thank you.

Our family is going to Disney in early 2025. One of our daughter's is turning 50 around this time, and I thought I would make reservations for a birthday dinner. Silly me-I also thought it would be quick and easy to order a birthday cake. :rotfl: Looking at the Disney website, I see that I can...
