    Fantasmic Dining Package with Wheelchair

    There is definitely an area at the back. I thought I had noticed a place in the front row. Seems that I did. https://plandisney.disney.go.com/question/reserved-seats-fantasmic-dining-event-wheelchair-530256/

    Pros and cons of Holiday Inn Orlando Disney Springs Area

    With limited demand and supply, the reservation could be considered as being for your benefit. Otherwise, with the size of WDW, the wait time for "just missing" or encountering a "full bus" could be easily over an hour if the busses are running to multiple parks.

    Swan and Dolphin transportation.

    S/D does not use Disney busses. For MK, the bus drops at the TTC (you must then ride the monorail), not at the park bus depot as Disney busses do. Other parks pickup and drop at a closer location to the park (typically in the parking lot). The water parks were not open when I was there, but I...

    Fantasmic viewing- Do any of the dining packages allow you to stand?

    For peace of mind you could have a friendly chat with a CM. Especially if there are 2 CMs standing together, then at least one of them should be able to give you full attention. Just explain your situation. The seating is on benches if that makes a difference. Be sure to remember names. We had...

    Are 2042 Resorts Worth it?

    Ok, so my adult children suddenly love Disney again and buying vs renting is suddenly something I would consider. Is the spreadsheet a good spot to get up to start getting up to speed with what one might need to know to make a decision? Is there something else that could quickly educate me...

    Riviera Pools vs GF Pools

    Riviera has lawn games around the pool, not sure if GF has that.

    Jambo or Kidani for resort only part of trip

    Not sure, but even if Jambo has more it would probably be worth your time to also check out Kidani.

    Jambo or Kidani for resort only part of trip

    A lot of people ask for second-floor rooms to get under the tree-branch level and be closer to the animals. If you want to learn, you can hopefully find a ranger and strike up a conversation outside at Jambo. Those interactive conversations can be very educational. They scatter food all...

    What is your favorite Disney Springs Hotel?

    Yeah, that Drury Inn tower does look nice. The Holiday Inn Express room we stayed in was recently renovated, and the pool is getting a major rehab. However, many of the hotels in that row can't help but show some of their age if you look close. And as with our room, I think each hotel has some...

    How do you help the split stay hesitant stay happy during a split stay? Advice and strategies, please. :)

    We did a split stay this last time. Since you have mastered the park-hop I would guess that the split stay would be manageable. Things can happen... With marathon weekend traffic it took a little extra time to drop off our bags at Kidani (of course we could have let Disney do it, but not as...

    Tokyo Disneyland - 2 weeks to go!

    Magellan's is great at Sea. Not sure if the theming will impress your daughter, but adults will find it impressive. There is a hidden door dining room that your daughter would probably enjoy. "Frozen" theming is coming. Not sure if they have anything substantial now. Here are some thoughts...

    Bonus: If you park at the TTC you can do the Epcot loop as well.

    Cake on Firework cruise

    There is a way to do it. We did it 18 years ago. :) I think what we did was to tell the marina that we wanted a cake. They told us who to call and the driver picked it up and had it waiting for us on the boat. I will try to put some more thought as to how we got that done. I don't know about...

    Wanted: Large Group Guidance

    Group reservations worked fine 15 years ago. I have some doubts now, but if you are willing to wait on hold I bet it still works. They know how each location can accommodate groups. Here was our schedule. I just grabbed what I could get and then scheduled days around what I got, whether it be...

    Fort Wilderness Cabins

    Since you haven't received a response yet, this is the best I could find. We've stayed there a couple times, but location just wasn't super important for those trips. https://www.disboards.com/threads/need-some-cabin-advice.3891732/

    Dolphin / Swan Parking

    The Mandara desk will give you a voucher on your way out. You will first scan the parking ticket, then your voucher.

    How's Coral Reef?

    I agree. We were in the front row last month. It wouldn't be quite the same in back. The aquarium is no doubt part of the attraction here. Enjoy it and your company and I think you'll be good. We had a wonderful experience with our server. She told me that if I didn't like my prime rib she...
