    How do you know if MaxPass is worth it?

    We used MP for a quick weekend trip the Sat & Sun before Halloween. It was AMAZING. We are rope drop people who would never dream of "wasting" early am park hours with breakfast, etc, but because of the number of MPs we were able to book, we were sitting and enjoying a cinnamon roll and coffee...

    Recent Experiences at Wine Country Trattoria for WoC?

    DH and I have the World of Color dinner package reserved this weekend, but I'm second guessing it. We did the package at Ariel's Grotto a few years ago and enjoyed it, so we decided to do it again at Wine Country Trattoria. The more I think about it, I keep thinking its too expensive and we...

    San Fran to San Diego in six days...itinerary help requested!

    In SF I would highly recommend the Disney Family museum, especially for Disney fans! The shear amount of memorabilia is amazing, and the museum is so informative. You could easily spend a full day here. And, the Presidio location gives gorgeous views of the bay and Golden Gate bridge! You will...

    Take this opportunity to pave over the Jungle Cruise? Yes/No

    No way! I love Jungle Cruise. Gotta keep the classics! I am totally with you on the treehouse however. It's like a queue with no ride at the end...

    Podcasts show up late on iTunes

    I'm having this issue too. The Be Our Guest show didn't appear until sometime over the weekend, and I finally got the Tuesday show this morning. I usually listen to the Tuesday show on my drive home Tuesday evenings, so it was disappointing to have to wait. Ultimately, this isn't a huge issue...

    Single Rider Lines - To Split Up or Not To Split Up?

    DH and I used Single Rider on both EE and TT to get in multiple rides. We went directly to TT at rope drop through standby so we could design our car - no wait. Then, we hopped right back on through the Single Rider, again no wait, even though stand by had built to 10-15min. We rode in the same...

    Touring Plans

    Yes, this is referring to using the Lines app to optimize while you are in the park. It will take current wait times into account to adjust your touring plan, if you choose.

    Worth (or even a real possibility?) going to Disney springs on arrival day?

    We really enjoyed checking out Disney Springs on our arrival night. It felt like a good transition from the real world to the Disney bubble. I was going to recommend it wholeheartedly until you mentioned you will not have slept - not the best way to start out a trip. With that in mind, I would...

    So, how do you schedule your park day breaks?

    I love using Touring Plans to create a schedule, even though we usually give it up at some point once we are actually in the parks. Usually we follow the plan pretty closely through lunchtime, then make it up as we go for afternoon/evening. I will also suggest (as others already have) that you...

    Back at home: WDW withdrawal rituals

    I have multiple Disney background loop playlists for just this reason! Makes a day work feel almost like a day at Disney!

    In your opinion what is the most overrated thing in WDW?

    Peter Pan. We always ride when we're in DL or WDW because its a classic, but for me it just isn't that remarkably different from other classic dark rides that don't draw the same crazy wait times. Also, the Contemporary. I was excited to see it because it seems like so many people love it, but...

    It's The Magic That Can Happen When It's Autumn! - Animal Kingdom Lodge - Club Level

    Just read through the whole thing and I am loving your trip report! Can't wait for your next update. :)

    Confusion with Touring Plans

    I've noticed that it can be a little glitchy at times and give you weird things. One tip I read somewhere is to add changes then hit optimize multiple times until your plan stabilizes. Once it stops changing things around, I've found this is usually the plan we tend to go with. Also, if you get...

    Have you gotten sick on (or after) a ride?

    I don't get nauseous motion sickness, but too much rattling will give me awful headaches and a general icky feeling. I can't do Space Mountain or Rock n Roller Coaster more than once in a row. Primeval Whirl, never again.

    Cord Cutters Unite

    We are cord cutters - didn't know we had a name until now! We have Netflix and Amazon prime which we stream through the xbox. We do have an apple tv which we've had for a couple years. Its the first generation, and it tends to crash a lot so we've stopped using it. We stream HBO through xbox too...

    POFQ Transportation

    We stayed at POFQ in January and had a really great bus experience. We only shared with POR once, and that was coming back pretty late from MK one night. Even that time wasn't too bad because POFQ got dropped off first. We never shared in the mornings, and we were at the bus stop an hour, maybe...

    If you could have your pick of resorts...

    I'm going put in another suggestion for POFQ. It has a quiet, tranquil, away-from-it-all feel that appeals to me in a similar way to the rustic feel of FW/WL. The pool area is so fun and vibrant, and I think kids would love it (sea serpent slide!). The resort is compact, which I think is a plus...

    Let's talk shows and parades

    This was us as well! Highly recommend the Star Wars fireworks at HS. We skipped Fantasmic! so we could snag a good spot since we'd seen it a Disneyland. Also, both DH and I loved the Frozen Singalong at HS. He is NOT a Frozen fan, but loved it because of the "historian" hosts. They reminded us...

    EMH: which team are you?

    We are team AM EMH. We're morning people, so getting extra low-crowd park time is just a bonus for waking up early like we usually do. Even if the park overall is busier because more people go to the EMH park, I feel like we're an hour ahead, and the rest of the crowd never really catches up...

    Disney Dinning Plan worth the cost?

    We did this as well. We're 2 adults, and at the full cost of the dining plan, there was no way it was worth it for us. We calculated once right after we made ADRs, then again after discounts came out for our trip dates. There was a Stay, Play, Dine, so we calculated again to see if that would be...
