    What shouldn't I miss at Disney World?

    We go to F&W nearly every year. Only problem being that we never have enough room to eat everything we want!!!! So check out all your stands and plan ahead! I could seriously eat everything in France. No matter how many times we go, or how long we stay, I don't think you ever do "everything."...

    DH says he'd rather carry toddler than deal w stroller. Let him?

    I would be afraid with my kids when they're that age that they can just bolt off so easily. I always preferred using a stroller and that was with just 2, not 3. I also used the little backpacks that have a strap on them so if they try to take off, they get about 3 feet before they HAVE to stop :)

    Fast Pass for shows? For the First Time In Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration

    Very true...with a FB we still got in line pretty early with it to ensure that we got good seats.

    Things to do in line

    I Spy is always a good one, there's a Disney trivia app, and my kids have gotten hooked on "I'm going on a trip..." (You start with A, then work your way through the alphabet, but you have to repeat the previous things; ie: I'm going on a trip and I'm taking apples, balloons....and then you add...

    Magicband Issue: Over the Credit Limit?

    We had this happen to us at BC, but we were at the resort so we went down to the desk and resolved it and it took about 10 minutes. Sorry it ruined your last day :( We always carry a backup card or 2 in case. Especially bc I don't entirely trust the MB system yet (LOL I'm old fashioned that way)

    Fast Pass for shows? For the First Time In Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration

    The people that had a FP for that particular show had to wait in a shorter line, got to go in first, and got better seating. That said, it is a huge theater, but it was nice for DD and I because with our FP we were pretty close to the front.

    What other TS Restaurant for dinner?

    Sci-Fi was really fun for us, the food was not my most favorite, but it was pretty good. Also pretty standard, nothing too out there for kids. I will say that you really might want to consider 50's Prime Time, the food there for our family was yummers and the experience was fun. I do know...

    WORST DISNEY DINING EXPERIENCE

    I so agree about being very mindful of the menus of the places you plan to dine! I'm a little bit of a foodie so I probably spend more time examining menus than anything else! A couple years ago my DP and I could generally choose whatever we wanted (as long as we included Whispering Canyon, in...

    WORST DISNEY DINING EXPERIENCE

    It's such shame to see so many less than magical experiences. Sadly, it happens, even at Disney. We had a pretty bad experience at Whispering Canyon, we got seated in the farthest corner completely out of the regular dining room. This was with 2 young kids and we had requested to sit in the main...

    F&W as a meal?

    I'm not sure how set in stone your vacation plans are at this point, but you could consider a DDP for your trip....we save a majority of our snack credits for "eating around the world." We usually pick 1, MAYBE 2 things from a booth we like and share it. (Except Australia....we get our own...

    Who has the best chocolate malt?

    I was also going to suggest Beaches and Cream, really cool throwback atmosphere there, good luck on your malt quest!

    Tell me about the Food and Wine Festival

    Our kids (DD 8 and DS 10) like to go to F&W and try a few of the stands. It's a great way to get them to try different foods. We take them during the day...F&W at night is our date night out at Disney!

    Unexpected things to do??

    One thing that was really fun for my kids at AK; they had these stations that they could stop at and complete different activities. Once they completed the activity, they got a stamp. If they completed all the activities, they got a special stamp on their "passport." My kids really enjoyed...

    best cs restaurants at resorts

    I loved the counter service at CR, it was so seamless and easy to navigate. That said, it was noisy (CR is just noisy overall IMHO) and there were birds inside. The food from the CS at BC was really tasty, but it was a nightmare, it was a tiny counter, there were never enough people working...

    Dining recommendations for mommy/daughter trip

    1900 Park Fare for dinner was really fun with Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters. Coral Reef Restaurant could be fun for the 2 of you. Chefs de France was very delicious (my picky daughter loved it) and it was sort of fancy, so DD might like it to dress up a...

    Via Napoli or Coral Reef?

    The first time we went to Coral Reef, it was very mediocre in every way. Poor service, other people's children hanging all over our table, poor food. Shockingly enough, we gave it another try and it was wonderful. We were lucky enough to get a table by the aquarium, and the food and...

    2014 Food & Wine Festival Planning

    It's still warm but we always go in the first week of October. The crowd levels are usually pretty low with the exception of around Columbus Day.

    Your Dream Resort?

    My dream resort would definitely be a split stay between Poly and BW. I loved Poly and I've always wanted to stay at BW, but I get overruled by the rest of my family. We stay a different resorts every year we go, so I'll get there eventually!

    American Girl advice

    A couple of times a year the AG website has sales and you can pick up outfits pretty cheaply. At Christmas time, you're lucky if you can get stuff in stock, forget a sale :) I definitely recommend the clothes at Toys R Us and Target for the dolls, and Target has some great accessories too...
