    Totally surprised...Disney closing kids' clubs

    Wow - We're planning our next trip to WDW in Aug 2018 and part of our planning included a Kid's Club night for DD. We used Simba's Club at AKL 2 years ago and DD loved it. Disappointing news, though to be fair, when DD was there in 2016, I think she was one of only 2 kids the whole night! Glad...

    How many days, until your WDW trip?

    482... ...but don't feel bad, we're just 32 days past our last DL trip.

    What do you bring to the parks when you don't have kids? What bag to bring?

    Oh yes, the lockers are essential. Even though we carry minimal items in the hip bags, the inevitable shopping bags are a chore to carry all day. If it's a cool morning, we would wear sweatshirts or bring raingear, and then stash those in the lockers later.

    What do you bring to the parks when you don't have kids? What bag to bring?

    We actually go the nerdiest route: jansport hip bags (fanny packs). I carry the very basics: small sunscreen, smartphone & charger, wallet, and of course PINS for trading.

    Blue Bayou questions...

    Same as above. We had a lunch reservation (March 2017), and when we checked in early, we asked for a waterside table. We didn't wait long. However, our table was the very last one by the barrier (on the right as you walk in). It was a bit cramped, and we were near one of the music speakers...

    Disney Withdrawal..Who else experiences this?

    We have Disney withdrawal daily. The appropriately named "DIS Daily Fix" show helps :-) Like many others, we just constantly plan the next trip!

    What to expect for a vacation at WDW 2018?

    Have you visited the MouseSavers website? It's a pretty comprehensive look at every way to save money at the parks and resorts. On our last WDW trip in 2016, we saved a lot of money by renting a DVC studio at Animal Kingdom Lodge, rather than paying full price for a room. But it's possible...

    Should I Buy a Guidebook?

    Another recommendation for the Unofficial Guide - I have been using it since the 90s! It is seriously the best one out there, but you need a thick skin - they're style isn't all pixie dust. The UG is encyclopedic in its detail, but has a critical consumer edge. It also has the touring plans. You...

    Solar Eclipse

    Solar eclipse is our big trip this year. We're driving out west to Wyoming to see it :-) Seems like the kind of thing that could be a good science activity for the resorts or even at Epcot.
