    Full refund Canadian Ticket

    I just got off the line with a very efficient cast member. I had to wait on hold for almost half an hour to get to him, but I was able to cancel our Canadian resident discount tickets for next week without any resistance - I was advised a full refund would be issued to our credit card within...

    Likelihood of 4th Fastpass Availability at MK at 4pm?

    I have a family of 5 as well. It's a bit more work, but often not too hard to split into a party of 2 and a party of 3 (or two parties of 2 and a party of 1 for the harder to get rides). A few minutes of refreshing can get the times within an hour of each other so you can all ride together. I...

    "Edutainment extras" over the years

    I'm pretty sure Agent P's World Showcase Adventure closed last month. I heard there is going to be a new, somewhat similar adventure introduced to replace it (with Donald and the other ducks?), but I don't think it's available yet. I just read about a new self-led scavenger hunt in The Seas...

    Are you all more inclined to purchase park hoppers for upcoming trips?

    We (family of 5) have never had park hoppers before, but got them for our upcoming trip (10 day tickets). We got the Canadian discount though, before the ticket price increases. At the current ticket price, I don't know if we could have justified the splurge. We got them for this trip for a...

    Fastpass+ plan /park strategy questions

    If you have an opportunity to get two FP+ for FOP, I would do it. NRJ is OK - it's pretty, but the ride itself isn't much. I honestly can't understand why it's still a Tier 1 at AK... If you do FOP and for some reason DON'T like it, you can always change the second FP+ to something else, and...

    How long for Kidcot in Epcot

    How long it will take overall depends on a lot of factors. If you already kind of know your way around World Showcase and have a good idea of where the KidCot stations are (or at least, how to identify them), you should be able to do it, but it might be a bit rushed. Some of the stations may...

    Free Printable Attraction Cheatsheets

    These look fantastic - I really could have used this years ago when I started bringing my family to WDW! It's great of you to share. One thing I was specifically paying attention to was the air conditioning column, since my next trip is in August! I know this info isn't always readily...

    Realistic Wait time for Avator Flight of Passage

    In the future, if you have a hard to get FP like that, you might want to hold on to it and try to modify it to a better time. Many people change plans leading up to their trip, and especially on the day of. On our last trip in 2018, I was able to get a FOP FP+ for five just a couple of weeks...

    "Official" 2020 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Poor Unfortunate Souls (2020 MNSSHP CANCELLED)

    Have any of the August parties (aside from the first party of the year) ever sold out? I want to go to the Aug.25 party (my birthday!) but I will have a group of 5-7 people so tickets will cost us a fair bit. If the weather is REALLY nasty, I'd rather not go that day. (We're there from...

    School Holidays/Breaks

    It would be great to know 100% for sure (since I already have our trip booked and our return flight is Sept.5). But I'm in Windsor and as far as I can remember, students here have never started before Labour Day. From speaking with teacher friends and the principal of my son's high school, it...

    "Official" 2020 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Poor Unfortunate Souls (2020 MNSSHP CANCELLED)

    I don't know if this works for every ride, but we have done this on SDMT several times, when my youngest was too timid to ride. We all waited in line together, and when we got to the front, we just informed the CM. They had DD and I wait off to the side, then as soon as DH and older kids got...

    Ride wimp here! Best way to ease into it?

    It might be helpful if you can pinpoint what it is about the rides that makes you anxious. Are you afraid of heights? Speed? Are you worried about something going wrong? Do you suffer from motion sickness? If it's just general apprehension without any identifiable cause, then I would just...

    So how intense is the drop in Kali River Rapids?

    The "intensity" of the ride comes not from speed or drops, but just the suspense of wondering if you'll be one of the ones who comes off looking like a drowned rat. I've stopped wondering... I'm always the one. My husband and I always sit on opposite sides of the raft, while our three kids...

    Cinderella Castle Makeover (March through Summer 2020)

    My first trip to Disney was during the 25th anniversary when the castle was pink. At the time, I didn't even know that wasn't the "normal" castle. 🤣

    April DHS opening time...do you think it will change from 9 am to earlier?

    I haven't been since GE opened, but what worked for MFSR in January might not work moving forward. I believe tomorrow is the first day that FP+ is available for that ride, so once that happens, the standby lines are going to move a LOT slower. Later in the day may well still be better than...

    How much time do you spend refreshing?

    On our past trips, I have mostly just refreshed while waiting around for the rest of my family, or while on breaks. Generally, we just see what FP+ are readily available and take what we can get, unless there's something we REALLY want. In 2018, I was able to get same day FOP with pretty...

    How are crowds and weather in May?

    We were there for Mother's Day back in 2014 (our first trip). It was hot, but the humidity was not as bad as August. Rained a couple of times, but nothing too bad. Crowds were very manageable, but this was in the relatively early days of FP+ so wait times then are probably not a good...

    Best strategies for an inexpensive Disney family trip??

    Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom. My kids loved that game when they were younger, and the cards make good, free souvenirs. Ditto for the Wilderness Explorers at Animal Kingdom (which my kids also LOVED, and is also FREE). Lots of fun, but can take a lot of time.

    Winter 2020 Strategies

    Glad you booked it - that was the week I was going to recommend. We were there around that time in 2016. The weather was absolutely PERFECT. Gorgeous, sunny (NO rain all week) and warm enough to swim. Only downside of that time of year is the shorter days, so less sunny pool time, but that...
