    Trader Sam's wait times, help me with a strategy!

    Last year in May with my hubby and young adult (over 21) children we left MK at 3pm right when parade was starting. We took the monorail to Poly, we were first in line at 3:30 but a line quickly formed behind us. The hostess took our name and phone # but quietly advised us to stay put so we...

    Looking for a Quieter Dining Experience in Epcot

    We have had a quiet, enjoyable lunch the last two trips on the patio at R&C, so good choice. Also we had a surprisingly peaceful meal at La Hacienda (Mexico not inside the pavillion but the one on the lake). We were seated in a raised, half moon booth facing the lake, lovely view and out of...

    Can you share a place you couldnt wait to eat but was a huge letdown

    Ha Ha, just goes to show you everyone has different experience on different nights. We actually really like Yak and Yeti although we always seem to get a less than desirable table location and we were pleasantly surprised by how good HDDR food was and had a great table.

    Can you share a place you couldnt wait to eat but was a huge letdown

    Last May, Boathouse. What a let down. Loud, uninterested server, out of several menu items, crappy table, blah, blah, blah.... Also our worst ever all time disney dining experience was Tony's Town Square.... never considered going back.

    Have You Ever Dissed a Restaurant & Then Flipped?

    Yes, R&C in Epcot. Terrible table location and server experience first time. Didn't go for many years but last two trips had wonderful experience and servers ON THE PATIO, both times for lunch. Never again inside for us.

    Not sure I can do it, week before Easter

    I did the week before Easter in 2012 because my son was marching with his band in MK. It was before the new FP+ system so still paper FP. It was very hot that year but that said we were able to hit the pool in the late afternoons then return to the park for the evenings. It was very crowded...

    Please vote: Labor Day week vs. Thanksgiving 2019?

    I agree, I guess if I HAD to pick I'd do Thanksgiving and plan very carefully... I did Easter week once as my son was marching with his HS band in MK but I would never willingly choose a holiday week again. Crowds were crazy and it was hot that year. But it was old paper FP system so we did...

    FP needed at Epcot if starting at ropedrop?

    I agree with this. We were in Epcot the first week of May 2018 and I'm pretty sure the wait at Soarin was around 40 min when we got over there for our FP at 11am. I think some will depend on which day of the week, weather etc....

    ? about D Tech store at Disney Springs

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this but.... does anyone know if you can shop the DTech store online? Of course now that I'm home from my earlier trip I need a new phone case. Would love to be able to shop the D-Tech collection on line. Not finding much searching online. Any advice...

    WWYD for One Adult Evening?

    Regarding Jiko, I'd have to say it was probably our top one or two meals we've ever had at Disney, definitely the most quiet and adult (even more so than Cali Grill). With Lyft on property it is super easy to go between resorts if you want to have dinner at AKL and dessert/cocktails at another...

    ticket ?... not my first rodeo but.....

    I would love to stay two nights but we will be squeezing a visit to WDW in on what is a different focused trip involving several others. I do think we can manage to carve out two full days and one night with our son and daughter though. Every time we have been able to go to WDW with our adult...

    ticket ?... not my first rodeo but.....

    Thanks! I thought so but wasn't sure. We are pretty excited to think we might get back again with our adult kids even if it is a brief stay.

    WWYD for One Adult Evening?

    ticket ?... not my first rodeo but.....

    I probably should know this but I've never quite done this before.... Just was at WDW for a week in May, didn't have a return trip in the future but now we have the chance to stay in a beach condo for two weeks in March 2020 and we want to drive up to Disney to see Star Wars Land. So... if we...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    We used Lyft in May after many trips with Tiffany. So much cheaper even using the premium Lyft for four adults and luggage.
