    October 2019: How bad are the crowds for fall break in October? 2nd week?

    Stay away from MK on the Wednesday night with 1am EMH. You think it's worth your time to be there, but it crazy havoc and insanity. Other than that, you'll be fine.

    Travel Day & London Life Post Disney

    I am absolutely going to miss hearing about your trip! I can't believe we have to wait over a year for another one. Thank you for sharing your holiday, though. It was great to live vicariously through you. I hope the London weather is warming up and brings you a little taste of Florida heat soon.

    HEA Dessert Party and the Weather?

    At the worst, Tink doesn't fly. I've never had a problem... other than Hurricane Matthew.

    Day 8- DH's last full day where we are mostly very bloated!

    I am still loving your TR! So, I love the D&B bag...and glad the strawberries didn't give you an allergic reaction! As for how I eat at WDW? I think I have the same issue. I try to drink 1500mL of water a day and when I'm in Florida and drinking that, it all just seems to float around my body...

    All star movies!

    Stayed there two years ago and DS was 11 and he loved it. They had plenty of buses in October (only two buses were shared with other AS resorts), but really had a great time and no complaints. If you just need somewhere to crash, shower, and have an occasional dip in the pool, it's worth it.

    How do you usually handle check out day? Go to theme park or no?

    I deliberately fly out with an airline that has resort check-in, so the first thing we do is have breakfast and pack up, and then drop off the bags. My goal is to always get a direct flight as late as possible in the day, so we have park time in the morning. The goal is to never have any real...

    October park hours?

    We've been to WDW the past two years in October. Just an FYI that they do update the hours in late Sept/early Oct so check out historical hours for the week you are going to have a better idea. There were some very upset people who booked 180 day ADR for 8am dining/9am park open only for the...

    Short trips and FP+ strategies - FOP or Slinky?

    Last year I didn't get FOP until 35 days before our trip. I won't stress it. What FPP I book at 60 days out aren't necessarily what we actually have at the actual park day. And if that doesn't work, we'll rope drop it. Party time!

    Pro's and Con's of mid-day breaks?

    When I was younger I could go to a park and spend all day and evening and not have an issue. I realised when I was in my late-30s that I don't have the energy and stamina to go all day, and end up being a very cranky person in the evening when I'm surrounded by crowds. The last trip I took with...

    NOT attending Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

    Try for a breakfast at BOG on the early-park closure day. You can also pre-order food which will save time. I find that the earlier in the day the less likely you'll have a longer wait for BOG. Some ideas for the evening hours: Disney Springs, monorail tour, Beaches'n'Cream or another fun...

    Banshee replacement part

    I know this is an old thread, but had a similar issue and consulted the Almighty Google and stumbled over here. I reached out to merchandise.guest.services@disneyparks.com email address and asked to purchase a replacement magnet, and they are sending one free of charge!

    Purse Theft ???

    My concern isn't really purse theft at WDW, but theft in general when traveling. I purchased the following (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004RTMV48/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) before a trip to DL, it has survived two WDW trips since then, and there are many days I actually...

    National Lampoons Aussie Vacation - 12/12/16 to 25/1/17 Universal - 40+ Days at Disney World

    I love the bag interaction! That is so cool. I wouldn't have even given a thought to other people being jealous --- it's their darn rotten luck they weren't cool enough to have something as cool! I love the questions you guys asked her. HAH! Total parent moment. I reckon this will measure up...

    Me, my son, and a little hurricane named Matthew. (Updated 4/6 -- F&W time!)

    Yes! Exactly! I was thinking for Anzac Day this year (about 50 Aussies get together and you have to bring a plate) and I was going to buy some donut holes and try my hand at lamington donut holes... just to avoid having to make the sponge while also not being the loser who brings a packet of...
