    Help from the pros...vacation timing for 2019 planning :) 3 options!

    Thanks for the input, I really appreciate all the feedback. As far as school, when I say "can't" it is really that I would prefer not to pull them out. My oldest takes advanced classes and last time I pulled him out for vacation, it took him weeks to make up all the work. So, it's a bit...

    Help from the pros...vacation timing for 2019 planning :) 3 options!

    Looking at ahead for 2019 and we are limited due to school calendars and children that we can't pull out of school (7th grade/2nd grade). I would love to hear your thoughts on these 3 options - 1) March 25th (Spring Break) - Falls a month before Easter for us in 2019. I am hoping with Easter...

    Help please with a last minute plan

    Hi there! I think my DH attends the same conference as yours. We will be down there the same time. I have gone the past 2 years and do the parks alone with a 9 & 4 year old boy. Epcot and HS are really easy to do with just taking the boat over. I hate the S&D busses with a passion so we...

    Thanks, Dan! Normally we drive but decided to fly this year. Can someone confirm my memory of life jackets available at the pool for kids? I'm trying to pack lightly! Thanks!! Meredith

    Ticket question non-hopper tickets

    We are going to be at Disney for 6 days. Is it possible to buy 7 day non-hopper tickets and use (2) to visit different parks on the same day? For example, swipe one time in the morning for Epcot and another in the evening for MK using 2 of my 7 days on the same day? Thanks!

    FP+ and rider swap

    We were there in May and I used riderswap at BTMR, SM, EE, and Mission Space...so 3 different parks. DH and DS(older) both had FP+ and myself and DS(younger) did not. We just asked for babyswap card for younger DS, while older DS and DH went through scanners like normal. I am pretty sure that...

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

    The Dolphin is the last stop for pick up before MK, so getting on early at the swan may be better for you. We came back in the afternoon and the bus had plenty of room. It just takes forever because of drop offs at boardwalk, then swan, then dolphin. I haven't tried the bus late at night after...

    So What are the Can's and Can'ts of Dolphin & Swan?

    I can only compare to AKL but the rooms at Dolphin are bigger than the Savannah view room we had at AKL one year. I never notice any noise and I request to be close to the elevators so I don't have to haul 2 kids and the stroller down the long hallways.

    So What are the Can's and Can'ts of Dolphin & Swan?

    Yes, you just swipe your key card at the fastpass machines. It actually seemed a little faster than the bands because you have to get the bands lined up just right for them to scan, cards were an easy swipe.

    So What are the Can's and Can'ts of Dolphin & Swan?

    We just returned from 7 nights at the Dolphin for the 2nd year in a row. We love the location and the resort is awesome! No dining plan but they have a ton of restaurants and ice cream on site (plus you can walk to the boardwalk or beach club to eat) No magic bands for room keys/charging...

    TSMM - one parent, 2 kids?

    So, we can all fit in one car? I would sit in the middle and let the kids play the games. I think my 8 year old would be a little bummed to sit by himself, that's why I was wondering if he could sit with his little brother. Thanks!

    TSMM - one parent, 2 kids?

    DH will be in conferences the days we are planning to hit HS. I want to do TSMM but wondering about seating logistics since it will just be me and DS(3) and DS(8). Can the kids ride together on one side and I ride alone on the other side? Just wondering if there was a minimum age/height...

    Garden grove seafood buffet?

    We did it last year on the barbecue night. Character interaction is great, not very crowded. On our visit goofy and Pluto alternated every 30 minutes. We are planning to go back again this trip!
