    Driving from NJ

    Co Cost isn’t the reason. For some reason, my wife now refuses to fly. Not because of COVID-19. We flew all of the time for years, but now she won’t.

    Will you be ok jobwise with this nightmare?

    My company is considered essential. We make several products used in the test kits. That said, I’ve worked 70 hours this week because several of my employees are either immunocompromised or care for high risk people. I’ve been doing the job of three of my direct reports. I don’t really know...

    Fall free dining???

    As I was booking on the phone, I was told that the fall deals would be released May 1st. Most likely up to 20% off certain rooms and maybe free dining for select dates but they would be very limited.

    Driving from NJ

    We are planning a trip in the fall and also planning to drive for the first time. If anyone has driven from Northern NJ or nearby, what do you usually do? Leaving on a Sunday morning, hopefully by 4 AM. I think we can make it to southern GA or North FL before we stop for the night. The plan...

    Dining Plan or Not....

    As the previous posters have said, if your trying to save money overall, it’s not worth it. There are definitely cheaper options that you can eat at OPP. If you plan to have either character meals and or nice meals, at all of your TS restaurants, IMO, the plan makes sense. Last visit, we did...

    Getting a BG for only part of my family

    I have been skimming through the RotR thread and haven’t been able to find an answer to a few questions. Frankly, the thread has become too big. My wife doesn’t like to get up early to rope drop and my DD5 is too small to ride. All 5 of us are registered on my MDE. Is this like the FP system...

    Week after Easter/Spring Break trip

    We will probably need to postpone our November 2020 trip and we’d like to know how bad are the crowds the week after Easter Sunday. Since it is also spring break, are the crowd levels that bad? We are talking April 4-10 2021. I’ve read that it’s usually not as bad as some people think.

    Worst meal experience?

    No, he wasn’t screaming or throwing things, he was just pouting. My younger son, a few years later at Spirit of Aloha did unfortunately have a major meltdown and I did miss almost the entire show.

    MK Skipper Canteen

    Definitely a Ya. My family are all picky eaters and after telling my two sons that they had to eat their meals before they could get their Schweitzer Slush they tried their Thai noodles and pork dish and loved it. The waitress tried to be funny, and the kids did enjoy it. Yes, the service was...

    Best/ Worst Request: BBQ

    I know this may not be a popular opinion but, to me, Disney Springs isn’t really Disney dining. The BBQ at Polite Pig is delicious. My favorites from best to less best are; Flame Tree BBQ Yak and Yeti Whispering Canyon (before they changed) Hoop Dee Doo Ohana Diamond Horseshoe Fife and Drum...

    Only have 5 or 6 days what parks/# of days? Do you always plan a pool day?

    This doesn’t seem to figure in RoTR. That is probably my biggest concern. Also, we already have tickets, which were gifted to us from Disney but the aren’t PHs.

    Bibbity Bobbidy Boutique, worth it?

    Yes, I is pricey, even if You bring your own dress, but for my DD4’s birthday it was definitely worth it. The attention from the CMs and at the M&Gs was priceless. We had dinner at CRT that day and she still talks about it. The knight’s package (we got this for our sons) was a wasn’t bad...

    Only have 5 or 6 days what parks/# of days? Do you always plan a pool day?

    We are probably content to skip over AK, but it’s my favorite park for a more “relaxing” park day. EPCOT/WS is a park we like to go to for the different foods and the F&W Festival will be going on. My main concern is that my sons and myself are Star Wars fans so I expect that we should plan 2...

    Only have 5 or 6 days what parks/# of days? Do you always plan a pool day?

    We are planning a trip in November and due to a few situations, we will only have 5, at most 6 days. We’ve always done at least 7 days and spent 3 days at the MK, 2 at EPCOT, and one each at AK and HS. With Galaxy’s Edge now open, I’m thinking 2 days there. The wife always wants a pool day...

    Worst meal experience?

    We have eaten there three times. The first time, our oldest was 4 and he threw a tantrum for the first 15 minutes we were there. We were mortified but the server brought him a cute Buzz Lightyear drink with a light up straw holder and he settled down immediately. The steaks were amazing and...

    One or two days at HS?

    We are planning a 7 day trip in Nov 2020. Should we plan one or two days at HS? We usually do one and two days at EPCOT but my kids, and myself, are Star Wars nuts. Would it be better to plan two days at HS instead of EPCOT? We could also go to MK two days instead of three, but the whole...

    Contemporary Resort Garden View Rooms. Pros and Cons

    We decided to wait until Nov 2020, but we have booked the BLT. I plan on doing a one breakfast at the Polynesian, one at the GF, and a later dinner at the CR. For the Polynesian and the GF breakfasts, is it easy to use the monorail and still make it to EPCOT relatively early? If not, we may...

    Contemporary Resort Garden View Rooms. Pros and Cons

    we are planning a shorter trip, 5 night in February 2020 and we are looking at a deluxe garden view room. What are the pros or cons to staying there? We have two boys, 13 and 11, and a girl, 5. I’ve heard that the walk to the MK is a little long and the rooms aren’t that convenient. How are...

    Chefs de France or Skipper's Canteen?

    With children, I would definitely recommend Skippers. We were concerned that our children being picky eaters would not like the food, but they loved it. Chefs is definitely better for a more mature palate. I enjoy the food at Chefs but my family does not like it. The atmosphere at Skippers...

    QS? Is it good enough for an entire trip?

    We have always done the DDP during our trips but I am wondering if it would be a good idea to do the QS Dining plan for our next trip. I have a few QS locations that we like but if there are any that are exceptional, suggestions would be appreciated. Favorite dishes too. Our regulars are...
