    Help me wrap my brain around touring DLR efficiently!

    You rock!! Thanks! We definitely want to ride TSMM but I don’t mind getting a FP for it if we can’t get in before a big wait. BUT that’s also one my whole family would be more inclined fo wait for if we needed to (we’ve ripe dropped it in WDW for years, grabbed FP for it and then waited in a...

    Help me wrap my brain around touring DLR efficiently!

    We ARE getting MaxPass which does relieve some stress. Seeing crowd levels of 9 and 20 on TP is not encouraging though. That said, it does seem like even "longer than normal" waits at DL are shorter than an average wait at WDW.

    Help me wrap my brain around touring DLR efficiently!

    I feel like I've read every post there is here, I've read DisneylandDaily, I'm in a few FB groups and read. I have friends that are locals but they're probably tired of my questions. As a WDW veteran, I KNOW I'm trying to plan more than I have to, but that's honestly a huge part of the fun for...

    3/18-3/24, family of 5 We're no strangers to WDW but this will be our first trip to DL. I haven't been on Disboards in years (I've used FB groups for my fix) but need DL info! We have 4 day park hoppers with maxpass. That's really all I know so far! Looking on here for dining...

    Hurricane Matthew...Ugh.

    Mine was late tomorrow and was cancelled. Debating a drive or wait to see what Orlando looks like once it's passed. Worried about power outages and not enough gas to get home

    Do you pack differently?

    Thanks y'all!! We don't have Express passes. We are there mostly for HP. We've both done it before but not together and really, 30-45 mins in line together won't bother us. We are just so excited to be going together!!!! (Besties who haven't lived near each other in almost 10 years) I have a...

    Garden Grocer - What to get?

    The rooms do have real coffee mugs. I brought chai tea to make my own lattes. I carried the mug to Capt Cooks and warmed it up while I waited for my food (we had the dining plan and often just shared 1-2 bounty breakfast platters)

    "Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

    Florida rain is sticky. The air is already so humid that once you're soaked (and you will be), you won't get dry. If you wear a poncho, it will stick to any skin it can. The thicker ones seem less stick compared to dollar store ponchos.

    What else should I be planning?

    I just have this feeling I won't be cold enough for a hot Butterbeer. LoL. I've had both of he cold and I make it myself at home often so I probably will be partaking in other libations more. :-) I haven't had a grown up only trip in way too long!

    What else should I be planning?

    How much do you plan for food? 2010 was my last visit and we just drove over from visiting family for the day. Our only meal was at Three Broomsticks. Right now I'm thinking $50/day for food and $20 for alcohol. Roughly. and $50 for a wand.

    What else should I be planning?

    I'm so used to fine detail planning over on the other side of the the city that I'm not sure what to do with myself right now. What else should I be planning/doing? Long weekend with friends in the fall. Flight booked. Hotel booked. (Three nights at Cabana Bay then going to AKL for MNSSHP)...

    Official Breast Feeding Support Thread for WDW Parks

    I am on baby #3 and have never owned a nursing shirt. I'm much more comfortable with a tank to pull down and another shirt over to pull up.

    Help solve a spouse debate on germs, sickness and Disney

    We almost never use hand sanitizer. It's not nearly as effective as properly washing with soap and water. The only time I use it is when Ive wanted to wash and couldn't. (Like if the bathroom was out of soap) but I would still wash as soon as possible after that, even. I just don't feel clean...
