deleted, I read your dates wrong.

Only the 3 Disney-owned hotels get early access. However, there are motels on Harbor that are just as close to the park entrances as the Disney hotels, in terms of being able to take quick breaks. Whether to move hotels for Universal depends on whether you’d rather the hassle of doing the long...

I actually found Storytellers’ WOC package a good value, certainly better for my family than the dessert party. We each have pretty different food preferences and everyone found foods they loved, and then we snagged spots at the railing for WOC so we got to sit down throughout.

One more thought- since you’re planning a longer stay, consider 1-2 nights at on site at the end and the beginning off site. It will be a nice treat to look forward to and by then you’ll probably be ready for a resort pool day (or a rope drop, long afternoon pool break, park again day) rather...

This is a highly YMMV topic, but i have a pretty similar profile to you - many WDW visits and have decided Pop (or the LM section of AoA) is perfect for our needs. In my DL trips I have stayed at the DLH once and off-site twice - once at the Courtyard on Harbor, once at the Cambria. To ME, on...

Last year I was at DL 8/19-24 and saw the Halloween decorations going up in Cars Land all week - it looked pretty complete by the 24th. Very fun to watch the progression!

I give them my cell phone carrier’s email-to-text address (for Verizon, number@vtext.com). Voila, text alerts.

When I went solo with my (then) 7 and 2.5 yo, I hired a babysitter for one morning who stayed with my youngest so I could take my oldest on bigger rides. They went to shows or smaller rides near us. The babysitter agency I used connected me to someone with an AP so I didn’t need to pay for an...

I can’t remember any Disney (Land or World) trips without at least one major ride being closed for refurb. It stinks for one-and-done trips but it’s also just the reality of keeping that many attractions safe and reliable. And also a reality/trade-off of targeting off-peak times… This year it...

Agree with all this about the Cambria, but would add one complaint - extremely inadequate clothing storage options. I shared a family suite with another adult and two kids (not even a big group) and had to stash clothes in the kitchen cabinets, nightstands, etc. We enjoyed our stay but decided...

So if I want my kids to be able to scan into LLs on their own, I need to print them a copy of the barcode? They don’t have smartphones and I’d rather not buy MBs just for this…

I’m a WDW vet too and for me the “bubble” means being as close to the parks as possible… which is why I love Disneyland so much, because there are so many affordable hotels within easy walking distance. I did stay at DLH on my first trips but I’m all about off-site now. The Disney experience I...

Thank you!

Could you say more about why? I am booked at the BW Anaheim Inn in August but had been watching to see if BW PPI opened up (only to be that tiny bit closer) but would love to hear reasons why I’m better off where I am…

Bumping this because I have the same question...

Ditto this. I’m a vegetarian and found plenty of options on the buffet. No comments on whether I accidentally served myself more dessert than I ended up wanting to eat right that minute and whether those leftovers might have traveled with me to WOC.

Had lunch (and requested the Fantasmic package) at Blue Bayou this past Sunday and it was fabulous. Table by the water, and no attempts to rush us through our meal (maybe because it was a 2pm seating, in between rushes?). The fish is still ahi tuna and was outstanding. They kindly swapped the...

My 7 yo was asked his age every time to ride alone (and often twice - at the entrance and before boarding) but never asked for proof. Granted he's average height, but the restriction for riding alone is about having the maturity to follow ride rules and to follow CM instructions in case of an...

I would tip at a higher rate in this case. The bill for a table ordering two desserts is going to be a lot lower than a table having entrees, but not much less work for the server and the turnover time isn’t much shorter. So what I think that poster was saying is tip based on a more standard...
