    Disney during Thanksgiving week

    We've been the week of and the week after (twice). The week after is my favorite as the crowds thin out and the world is all decorated for Christmas. Santa is even there for visits (DTD or MK). The week of Thanksgiving, I'd expect no discounts or specials for the entire trip. As stated...

    Not So Scary Halloween...Advice Please

    The M&G are all over the park. Lots of people like watching the parade in Frontierland, others like the hub with the castle in the background, and there are things going on for the folks on Main Street that you don't get in other places. Grab a map (or follow the thread on here) to find out...

    Going back to car while at Epcot?

    Been there...done that at least twice. And I schlepped from the van and back with two princess dresses in tow so that my DDs could be appropriately attired to meet the princesses in Norway or to make sure that the delicate costumes were placed in a location protected from wayward drinks and...

    ToT, convince me to ride it

    ToT is the ONLY ride I've never been on. I had a very bad experience on Dr. Doom. But if your feet aren't dangling free, I might be persuaded by my DDs to ride it next trip....

    Tasers in the World?

    I go to WDW to get away from the rest of the world where I feel like I might need to carry a weapon for personal safety. WDW is my safe place. Where I take my kids and still believe in magic and wonder. I truly cannot think of a reason to believe that I would ever be in harms way there...

    September 2014 Discount Watch!

    Potentially a 10 person 2 birthday extravaganza in the works. Had a RO % off come to my email but it is for my FIL who traveled with us several years ago. :mad: He seems to get PIN codes a lot while I do not. Could really use a discount to make this happen.

    MNSSP and Columbus day...busy or slow?

    The only day that works for us is that Friday. I am hoping that even a "bad" party day is still a low level crowd day.

    Mnsshp and trick or treating ages?

    Aren't we all kids at WDW? Been twice. Going again this year. You don't have to do every candy trial, but if you are going to trick or treat, you might want to carry an extra bag to dump into when your treat bag gets full.

    Where is Push?

    A couple of years ago, when Rapunzel was doing the M&G with Flynn, PUSH came over and greeted her one morning. We were there and had a great time watching the 3 interact with one another.

    Mistake you will not repeat next time...

    7AM Chef Mickey's reservations the morning after closing EPCOT or DHS with EMH. Makes vacation too much like real life with 5AM wake-up calls after going to bed around midnight....

    Harmony Barber shop

    Last year when we went, we were told that they are very limited in what they can do because of the BBB. They could do pony tails but not updos. I have no idea if there have been more changes, but you might want to ask. It never hurts, even if the answer is "No"

    7:25 am Chef Mickeys

    Are you going to chase characters while in the parks? Do you have another way to get 5 of the big 6 characters without losing time in the parks? The beauty of CM's is that you get 1 on 1 time with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald while eating. There are other ways to visit the...

    Dining Plan Value spreadsheet calculator

    Thanks for going first Mike. I too feel like my family has saved money by getting the plan (we go when free dining is offered). With kids you want to do the character meals. If I was paying out of pocket, I doubt that we would do more than 1 whereas we usually try for 3 or so. But you know...

    Greeting trails then FOLK?

    Last October we actually hit it just right - Donald had no line and actually was waiting at the head of his trail and danced with my 2 DD's up his trail to his spot. We also had Gov. Radcliffe and Pocahontas pop out in the main area. Got a ton of autographs that day in AK. If I remember...

    When would you go?

    If you haven't done MNSSHP, then I vote for October. It can be hot (2 years ago) or it can be bone-chilling cold (this year). The comments about locals and F&W are spot-on. Avoid EPCOT on Fri-Sun nights and the crowds are manageable to good. My next choice would be December. Crowds should...
