    Mickey's Halloween Party and Halloween Time Superthread 2018!!

    My family attended our first Halloween party on 10/23. We were so excited! We had heard great things about the parties from friends. The weather was great and warmer than I expected. But the park so CROWDED. I'm not sure if the streets had more people in them because they weren't doing rides...

    It’s been asked 100 times but...Time at Disneyland

    I wouldn't do DLR for more than 5 days. We just did 9 days this summer at WDW and WDW is just different. WDW it takes so long to travel between places and the heat wears you out. You can stay at the parks all day long at DLR without exhausting yourself. DLR is small and you can walk to...

    Back Pain standing in line

    I just did WDW for 9 days in June. I have a disc issue and pinched nerve in my back/neck from a fall. I was worried I was going to be in terrible pain, but it was good trip and my back did better than I expected. My advice: - stay hydrated, this makes a huge difference - take 800 mg of ibuprofen...

    Just Back: DL Newbie/WDW Vet Compares Bubble to Bubble Experiences

    I actually like MaxPass better too. I don't mind the way we have to be so scheduled at WDW, but my husband and kids did not like it. There's not the same flexibility with FP+ that there is with MaxPass. With MaxPass I LOVE how you can get another fastpass EVERY 90 minutes even if you have...

    Just Back: DL Newbie/WDW Vet Compares Bubble to Bubble Experiences

    Great observations! We are DLR vets and went to WDW in June this summer. I agree with you on many of your ride observations. Splash Mountain - one of my favorite rides - I think DL could do a better job maintaining it, WDW had better lighting and the paint was new and bright. Indiana Jones -...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    I was there in June and I'm anaphylactic to honey bees and I didn't see an extra amount of bees around the main pool and I'm extremely paranoid if there are a lot around. I wonder if there was a nest nearby that got disturbed?

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    We were there in June and we had no problems with our refrigerator or our milk/yogurt spoiling. We also used Safeway to deliver our groceries and we had no problem with it(the only downfall with Safeway is that their website is slow and not the best). I had asked for a 9-10pm delivery window and...

    Recent UP Show Reviews?

    We saw it last week...it was ok, but not enough birds. They could add more to the show and more information about different types of birds.

    Na’vi river worth it?

    I would say ride it only if the line is short or you have a fastpass. We did it last week and think it's a one and done ride. People are comparing it to Pirates, but the boat is the only thing that's the same - there's no drop and Pirates is longer. It's pretty and the colors are cool, but I'm...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    We just stayed there for 11-nights and no problems with the buses...I was a bit worried after all the things I’ve read about them. We barely waited 5 minutes for them. But, if you want a seat every time (coming back from parks) then you will be disappointed. The only time I truly lost it during...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    We are arriving tomorrow for our 11-night stay! :yay: After planning this trip for the past 2 years it's hard to believe we will finally be there. I just put on the Magical Express tags on the suitcases and it's real now and I hope that everything will go smoothly.

    Pirates and Pal Cruise with possible tropical storm

    Thanks for letting me know that they take out the boat part for the balcony - they never said anything about that when I called and asked weather impacts. Yes, the long-term forecast is in what we call "fantasy land" at this point and hopefully our trip will have regular FL weather, but I just...

    Pirates and Pal Cruise with possible tropical storm

    Long-term forecasts have a possible storm forming and impacting FL on June 13th-16th. We have the Pirates and Pal Cruise booked for the 13th for a party of 5 (which is not cheap). We will be there for 11-nights so we could reschedule, but it's my son's birthday and he picked the cruise to do...

    Car rental locations for WDW...

    Any recommendations on which car rental company to use or are they all about the same? I haven’t rented a car in YEARS.

    Car rental locations for WDW...

    We will be staying at POR in a couple of weeks and we want to rent a car for one day to go to Kennedy Space Center. Should we use the Car Care Center or a hotel next to Disney Sorings? We could take a boat from POR to DS and then walk to neighboring hotel? We have AAA would we get a discount...

    Spaceship Earth FP

    I have a fastpass for it on 6/18 and it's still there so I don't think its because of rehab.

    small grocery delivery worthwhile?

    I was just looking at the Safeway website and its free delivery for your first order (code:FREE) and you get a free case of Aquafina water 24 16.9floz bottles(code:AQUAFREE). That sounds like a deal to me.

    Packing stress has begun....35 days until we arrive for our 12-day trip...packing for 3 kids...ugh. Sorry if I ask a million questions over the next couple of weeks.
