    All Star Movies Renovations

    We did a split stay at multiple resorts last week. Pop Century and the FW cabins both had filthy floors. The floor in our ASMo refurbished room was pristine. No dirty socks. I'm always so impressed by All-Star Movies and it will always be my first choice once it's completely refurbished!

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    Yep! We stayed at YC last spring mainly so the kids could enjoy Stormalong Bay. We originally had a reservation for BC because it appeared to be more our style and is always billed as being more family-friendly. We switched to YC when discounts were released and we could get a significantly...

    For those folks driving!

    We skipped the I-4 construction last month on a Saturday afternoon by taking 429 around the north and west side of Orlando. HIGHLY recommend! We exited I-4 at route 46 north of Orlando to 429. There was NO traffic and tolls were about $5.

    Disney's FORT WILDERNESS CABINS & CAMPGROUNDS Information & Questions

    My family loved visiting Fort Wilderness during the week of Halloween and seeing all of the campers' impressive decorations. We'll be back the first week in December and hear Christmas is just as festive, but I'm wondering if campers go all out and decorate that early. Are the number of...

    For those folks driving!

    I've drove south from Raleigh to WDW on the Sunday after Thanksgiving three years ago and the worst traffic by far was the final 50ish miles in South Carolina before the Georgia border. There were no accidents, just too much traffic for those two lanes to handle and added over an hour to our...

    For those folks driving!

    We just drove to WDW from central NC last week. Not sure what part of the journey you're wanting to avoid, but we rarely have any problems until we hit Orlando just by taking I-95 to I-4 and using I-295 east to bypass Jacksonville. I-4 through Orlando is always the worst part by far so this time...

    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

    Has anyone been able to watch the parade from the railing at the train station this year? I’m thinking my kids would like that elevated view best. I’ve heard that space is occasionally blocked off for FoF but haven’t heard anything from this year’s Halloween parties. Just wondering if those...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    Oh, no, we absolutely would not go door to door! An old CBR activity schedule from 2014 states that there were 5-6 trick or treating locations around the resort - pool, beach, etc. - so I was curious if anyone has actually done this.

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    Has anyone spent Halloween at Pop last year or 2016 and can provide a report on the trick or treating scene there? I searched and found some reports from 2014 but was hoping for something more recent. We're doing a split stay during Halloween week this year and I'm still trying to decide if we...

    Disney's CARIBBEAN BEACH RESORT Information & Questions

    First time posting in this thread. :) We have a split stay planned during Halloween week this year and I'm still trying to decide whether to spend Halloween night at CBR or Pop (our hotel switch will occur mid-week so I'm deciding when exactly to make the switch!). We're attending MNNSHP several...

    International Festival of the Arts...have you been?

    Yes! Great food and we loved the drawing classes, especially since the Animation Academy left Hollywood Studios several years ago. We tried to make attend as many of them as possible.

    So DD does not want to ride FOP again - can 2 people ride in same PF window

    Yes, absolutely. We have had to do this on our previous trips in February and May when one son decided not to ride again after the first time ("it FEELS like a roller coaster!" lol) and we still had several more FastPasses to use. We just arrive towards the beginning of our FP window and have...

    Ample Hills vs. Beaches and Creams?

    We ate at both places for the first time on our most recent trip. We ordered the ice cream flight at Ample Hills but it was a hot day and we couldn’t find any shade so it quickly turned into a melted mess. We preferred Beaches and Cream where we could sit indoors and enjoy our sundaes at a...

    How hard is it to get Navi for a 4th FP?

    We got day-of Fastpasses for Navi twice earlier this month. Both times were for 2 people, around dinnertime (5:00-6:30ish) and the windows I got were opening in just 15 minutes both times. Just a few refreshes was all it took. Got FoP at the same time as well but those required a few more refreshes!
