    Is park hopper worth it?

    We have taken our family to Disney 3 times, and park hopped only 1 day, I think. We generally spend all day at one park or leave early to spend time at the resort pool and/or at a resort restaurant. We had to buy hoppers as part of the free dining bounceback package, and so we used it on the...

    Animal Kingdom needs love

    I agree that it needs more. We love the Lion King show and the Nemo show, and my husband and son love Everest, but they are bored of the safari. Dinosaur was down on our recent trip. And the park is so HOT! Do they have any quick service restaurants for lunch with an indoor line to order...

    Randomly selected for screening at EPCOT

    I think I was picked to go through a metal detector twice there on our recent vacation, even though I was shepherding 2 children while my husband did the bag check. I wonder if they sometimes pick young women and mothers with children who look harmless so they don't look biased when they want...

    What's Left In the Studios?

    I totally agree. We love the Finding Nemo show and the Lion King show, and my husband and son like Expedition Everest, but we had the least to do at Animal Kingdom.

    Code watch for September 2017

    I posted this in another thread but will copy part of it here: "I called the Bounceback number from our room phone at the end of our trip this Sunday, Oct. 2. I asked if any dates in September were included now after Sept. 9. The employee was borderline rude, stating that the only dates...

    New FD Bounceback is out

    I called the Bounceback number from our room phone at the end of our trip this Sunday, Oct. 2. I asked if any dates in September were included now after Sept. 9. The employee was borderline rude, stating that the only dates available were the ones in the flier. I pointed out that the...

    Jessie and Woody Leaving?

    That's awful! If true, they need to move Jessie with Buzz and Woody at DHS. We have some great pictures and memories of meeting Jessie and Woody in Adventure land our last two trips. One year, we were the first to arrive, but due to light rain, they told us that it had been delayed. Because...

    Time Crunch Question: is there enough time

    My kids are older (9 and 12) and we have not done the party yet--hopefully next year. We often do the parks from open to close at 8/9 pm, but I would not try doing all day then staying until midnight at a party. I would rather have well rested kids so they could stay up late and enjoy all of...

    Pokemon GO In the Parks?

    I've heard using the park wifi can cause problems and glitches, and sometimes it's blocked by the servers from the game during periods of heavy data usage. I've also heard rumors about people being banned because they used the same wifi as a spoofer/cheater. Do you use the park wifi or mobile...

    Awesome phone call from guest relations: Mama Melrose refurb

    Does this mean that in September there is not a place to get pizza at HS? My son, who is gluten free and has autism, is so disappointed that Pizza Planet is closed, but I told him he could still have pizza. They would get the gluten free crusts from MM when we were there our last 2 visits, so...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    LOL! I wonder how I would request that for our room! I think we were in Oak in a Royal Room last year, but probably not in range of the fountain, since we were on a side and near but not facing the river. I think our next trip is for a RR Garden view, again. Did she catch any dratini or...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    Have your families played Pokemon Go at POR? I was wondering if that would be a fun activity there the first evening before we enter the parks the next morning. I would guess it has some Pokestops and pokemon to catch there on the grounds and along the river. Thanks!

    Pokemon GO In the Parks?

    Do you remember where you found the snorlax and if it was morning, afternoon, or night? I've heard they are most commonly found around 10 pm.

    a wrench in the works...not sure how to plan for this...

    Two years ago we were able to add my mother for $10 per night to our room and we purchased the same type of tickets we had by phone before the vacation started so that she could be added under our free dining package. It was maybe only about $400 to add her to the room and buy theme park...

    Pokemon GO In the Parks?

    I was not really planning to go to Disney Springs again this year. How long does it take there to get several dratinin? What is the best spot? I guess you caught the Epcot ones by the lake? Thanks!

    Pokemon GO In the Parks?

    Thanks, everyone! I don't have onix yet, so I may have to find an excuse to visit the Boardwalk. Perhaps the day we arrive since we won't be entering the parks until the next morning... And I would LOVE to catch some dratini! Where have you found them? I have only found 2 so far, even...

    Went too hard at MK yesterday...owwwww...need advice

    If you can make it to a large grocery store or pharmacy, Arnicare gel works great for bruises and sore feet, and I have heard good things about the Arnicare homeopathic pills. The gel worked wonders for my husband's foot when someone pushed something heavy over his foot last year just before a...

    Pokemon GO In the Parks?

    I don't want to start another thread debating the merits of playing this game on vacation at WDW, but I wanted to ask what pokemon you have caught at Disney and where are the best places to hunt... We don't plan to play during rides, but it could be great for time spent walking around the park...

    Having second thoughts on going to MNSSHP - It's the price

    We skipped it our first two trips...our children are not night owls and my daughter does not like scary costumes. We might try it next year.

    What attraction was better/worse than you expected?

    Better-Big Thunder Mountain, Tower of Terror, and Soarin. Worse- Finding Nemo ride in Epcot... drove me bonkers! Peter Pan and Ariel ride were not that impressive. Also, Tiki Room and Country Bears were not as good as I remembered from my childhood trips to Disney. Even my then 8 year old...
