    Do we need 2 Disney accounts to reserve Genie + and ILL$ at the same time?

    In the past, my husband and I would both login to my Disney account on our phones to update fastpasses and make reservations; he does not have his own Disney account. Can we login to my Disney account on different devices at 7:00am to reserve Genie + and ILL$ simultaneously or will one of us be...

    What to pack for toddler?

    Bring extra bubbles and buy the Disney bubble wand in the park. Bring a change of clothes...Mickey Ice Creams get messy! A lightweight stroller blanket is useful for draping over the stroller canopy to create a darker, less stimulating nap cocoon. Take a ton of video :)

    Sharing a room with a toddler tips!

    Bring some kind of white noise. This may sound crazy but we pack the Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier in our carry on luggage and run it without water just for noise. It puts out a really good white noise that doesn't have the looping that you will get with sound machines. We have brought it on the...

    Holidays Step Child only Comes to see us when we do something special

    Forget about the money part. For real. Extend the invitation for her to join you and leave it at that. Make her feel welcome in the family and leave the rest to her. If she wants to go, she will. Lead by example and show her you are open to a relationship with her when she's ready. Teens are...

    Birnbaums

    Yes, we bought it a couple years ago when my oldest was around 8. She loved it. It was on her reading level and had fun activities. Youtube videos of the rides gave us all the most realistic idea what the rides would be like. Honestly, your kiddo may come around on some of the rides but don't...

    Inviting a Friend

    I haven't brought a friend yet but thought I could chime in with some things to consider. If you want the whole 3 generations bonding experience then you may consider leaving the friend at home. I can see the girls wanting to split into their own group and exploring Disney on their own. If...

    Best tips for a family that has never camped before...

    What kind of camper are you renting? Where are you traveling from? Do you intend to eat meals in the camper? What kind of vehicle will you be pulling the camper with? How many "beds" does the camper have and what size are they? Knowing the specs of what you will be staying in will be helpful in...

    Help me Plan for November

    The week of Thanksgiving gets crazy so anytime before or after that would be ideal. We were there Nov 13-19 and we had to layer for warmth. We fluctuated between shorts and t-shirts and jeans with sweaters. The weather was all over the map that week. You will get different feedback on resorts...

    Planning with tweens - ideas???

    My 11 year old loved the pick a pearl experience at Epcot's Japan pavilion. We had our pearls made into jewelry there and now they have a nice memory and souvenir. Epcot has become a new favorite park because there's so much more to learn and see the older the kids get. She also still loves...

    Do you keep your young kids up later at Disney?

    I think you may have a better trip if you focus on the things you can do with your grandchildren. Trying to control certain aspects like bedtimes will only create tension between you and your son. This trip will never be the same as the trip your children took many years ago but it can still be...

    How would you feel about this? Inviting extended family member to travel with us.

    I can't imagine inviting her if you plan to send her before GE opens. I think the hype before it opens will be pretty strong and she will likely feel really left out if she has to leave before the grand reveal. I also think orchestrating her flight home would be pretty inconvenient mid trip. She...

    Things that surprised you on multi-generational trips

    I would say scheduling meals was the most frustrating part of traveling with my parents. They don't eat breakfast early but my kids NEED breakfast before we head to the park. Then, my parents would be hungry 30 minutes after walking around the park. My mom actually stood in the Starbucks line...

    My Child Gets Sick Every Time We Visit Disney....

    I would recommend seeing an allergist and having an actual skin prick test done for environmental allergens. The blood test doesn't reveal as much information as a skin prick test. My daughter is allergic to mold and struggled with asthma until we got a handle on the mold allergy. When we first...

    Stroller talk.

    My daughter was 10 and would still hop into our bob stroller on disney trips. We have a single bob and my 4 year old would ride in the stroller and the 10 year old would ride in the footwell. Considering you have three kiddos, go with the double. It's completely possible you will have 3 who need...

    AK Restaurants for picky eaters?

    My picky eaters were happy at Tusker House and Yak & Yeti. We booked Tusker House around 10:50 so they were switching between breakfast and lunch so my girls were happy with some waffles and tator tots with fruit. Yak & Yeti has a very kid friendly menu. As others have said, look at the menus. I...

    When did you tell your kindergarteners?

    I'm definitely a supporter of telling the kids in advance so they get to experience planning and anticipation just like us. You didn't mention any exact needs for your 6 year old but I would probably think about how much time the 6 year old will need to prepare. There are so many youtube videos...

    Best Resort for 18 month old?

    One of the monorail resorts would be ideal. You don't have to remove a sleeping child from the stroller to board a monorail. You have to fold up the stroller on the buses and most boats. A complete nap is a sanity saver. We have stayed at Wilderness Lodge and Polynesian with a kiddo that age...

    Double tandem or double side by side?

    Our single bob stroller takes up quite a bit of space in the monorail. I would advise against the tandem as it may be too long to get into the monorail compartments. I would also advise against the sit and stand. The key is to keep those kids comfortable. Naps in the stroller are very...
