    Park Hopper ~ Worth it or not

    I think it depends on who is in your travel party, what your travel style is, and where you are staying. Will you need/want to take a mid-day break? If you want a mid day break and are staying off property it probably won't be worth it. I went a couple weeks ago with my 10 year old son and we...

    Converting Disneyland tickets to Disneyworld tickets

    Did you buy your Disneyland tickets direct from Disney or from a secondary seller? Seller policies may vary. If direct from Disney, maybe they would convert your refund to a Disney gift card (which could then be used to purchase Disney World tickets). I agree with Robo it's probably...

    wait list for kids night out?

    I've never been waitlisted for child care so I have no idea if it's common. I have used this company several times over the last couple of years and had great success. http://www.vacationsitterfl.com/

    WALKING FROM MK TO CONTEMPORARY

    I was just reading another thread that says there is no security entrance at the Magic Kingdom any more. That it will be done at the TTC or at the monorail. So, if you were to walk from Contemporary to MK, when/where would you go through security?

    Chef Mickey vs Mickey’s Backyard BBQ

    You asked for opinions and even though you are leaning away from it . .I'd steer you back towards the BBQ. It is "picnic fare" of hamburgers, ribs, coleslaw, etc but it's good for what it is. Softdrink refills are plentiful and unlimited access to ice cream treats. There is plenty of room to...

    ADRs 180+ Sorry For The Paws - Wondering How You Booked Your Resort?

    I booked the Labor Day special and had trouble with my ADRs today too. I called Disney dining and got about 1/2 of what I wanted. Then I asked to be transferred to tech support. One of the issues seems to be that the "billing" address on the reservation is to the travel agency and not my own...

    Discovery Cove Discount with Busch Gardens Platinum Annual Pass?

    I have no personal experience with it, but my understanding is that it's not a "fixed" discount that the amount off varies by exact date (just like the actual pricing pre-discount varies by date). Maybe if you knew the date range you were interested a current annual pass member could check it...

    Piercings and discovery cove?!

    I have no personal experience with this whatsoever but here's my take . . .even if several DISers reported that they had no issue with this piercing, it would still be up to the employee(s) working the day that you went to make the final call. If they were to ask you to remove your current...

    Jedi Training sign-up during Magic Morning?

    I don't remember the actual number of kids they allow for each show . . .let's say 20 for example. So then they would make 10 spots available at each show of the day available during Magic Morning. When you sign up, you can choose whichever show you like and you may or may not be choosing the...

    August 2017 Disneyland Check-In & Chat!

    For WoC - any of it! I was there in February 2016 and ate at Carthay Circle with my best friend and my youngest son. The food was delicious but the pace was "leisurely", my youngest managed it but I'm afraid when I have both boys there (ages 7 & 5) it will be more of a fight to actually enjoy...

    August 2017 Disneyland Check-In & Chat!

    Add us to the list for August 20-24. Currently booked at Park Vue Inn which we really enjoy but wish the Courtyard Theme Park Entrance price would go down as that water park looks perfect for my boys! Currently have Blue Bayou booked for August 20th with the Main Street Electrical Parade...

    Hyatt Regency or Fairfield Anaheim

    In 2014, I had to come to Anaheim for a conference. I stayed 3 nights at the Fairfield and then 4 nights at the Hyatt. First three days were park heavy and I loved being within a reasonable walking distance. However, at the end of the night I did not love it. The walk felt long when I was...

    Park Vue Inn Experience?

    The room with the bunk beds is the same square footage as the two queen room, you just give up floor space. Total square footage is around 300 ft. I had called to inquire about the other rooms that you mentioned. I believe the three queen room was around 400 ft and the largest room was the...

    SeaWorld Blue Friday Sale 2016

    When I clicked on the link from the Discovery Cove Facebook page, it takes me to a link that is different than what I received via email. That one indicates that either a single day ticket or the annual pass must be redeemed by 1/31/17. Since I am not traveling until summer, this is a bummer...

    Online check in ?

    I didn't mean to imply that I didn't get what I paid for . . simply that I would have requested Surf's Up if i had known that there were other possibilities. After walking the resort though, I realized I valued the location of my room more than the theme of it . . .so it's a case where what I...

    Online check in ?

    I did it at All Star Sports a couple of weeks ago. I received a text at noon that my room was ready (I had requested 4:00 so it was earlier than I needed). I paid for a preferred room which should have put me in the Surf's up building. When I got the text, I was put in the Touchdown section...

    Can you use Magical Express to get from airport to All-Stars different day than check in day?

    So, I am driving down to WDW with my two boys and checking in for four days before my husband will fly down and join us. We're staying at All Star Sports. I'm wondering if it's possible for him to use Magical Express to get him to the resort so I don't have to go get him at the airport in the...
