    Thunderstorms forecast for Saturday...Strategies?

    I'm hoping we can make it through the snow and ice to get there!!! (We leave tomorrow night, and are supposed to arrive on Saturday). :tinker: What about the fireworks shows? I assume they will be cancelled if it's raining/lightning as well. So they just don't run them that night?

    News Round Up 2017

    We have been considering using it, but will be traveling with a 7 year old. Do you think it would "ruin the magic"?

    Northern Alabama - March 13th-17th this year. Ours jumps all over the month of March. Next year (2018), it will be the last week.

    News Round Up 2017

    Yay! We'll be arriving the 7th, so I'm glad to hear we'll still see the decorations at MK, at least.

    Surprising Kiddies for Christmas

    I know I've seen a couple threads in here about the big X-mas surprise. I've finally decided what we're doing. :yay: My older two children (DS24 & DS18) know about the trip, but the younger two (DS12 & DD10) do not. I've been trying to decide how to do the reveal, and combining what I hope...

    Rivers of Light --- Almost Ready for Prime Time

    Is it just me, or with this update to the page, did the fastpass+ offered button come back? It doesn't work, but I don't remember the link being there last time I checked the page.

    Family of 5 -Parents & 3 kids cant stay at a Value?

    We are a family of 6 - 4 adults and 2 younger ones (DS11 and DD10), we have 2 rooms @ POP. There's no way we could do a table bed or sleeper sofa. Our next choice (at least checking right now) is a 2 bedroom villa. Two rooms at POP is still cheaper.

    Joy and Sadness

    Are they the same line as Baymax, or is he a separate line? We're really not into the M&Gs but will be going with a younger niece who is. For my kids, Joy, Sadness & Baymax will be the ones worth waiting for.

    Can you attach more than one room to a Magic Band?

    When we went last year, as a family of 5, we booked two adjoining rooms, both in my name. All magic bands opened both doors.

    New confirmation number?

    I have not received any emails, I'm guessing maybe my TA has? But looking at MDE, I can see the confirmation numbers are different. Everything else seems to be there are is should.

    New Epcot Festival of the Arts

    The 13th is the last day of our trip. We have things planned out pretty full for this day already. It looks interesting, but would take a LOT of rearranging to switch days, so we'll probably miss it.

    30 days out, no FEA availability

    Just keep checking - even up to the day. Last year on our last day, we had a sick child, and decided to take things much slower & just do a little here & there. I dropped 5 FPs to 7DMT the night before. They can be found. Good luck!!

    News Round Up 2016

    I had that thought, too. I would not be pleased if someone else attempted to enjoy my Disney vacation in my place. But my guess is it most likely won't be obvious. It doesn't even come from a Disney address, at least ours didn't before.

    News Round Up 2016

    It's always that "one time" they check the mail... sigh... I know the way they are now is double boxed and the Disney theme is all over, but the line above the image of the older box implies that this new box is also the shipping container - "The old style boxes looked like this and were...

    News Round Up 2016

    UGH! I really hope the outside of this new box is plain and unrecognizable as Disney. Our trip is a surprise, and that wouldn't do for the kids to see the box and figure it out.

    Best FP+ strategy for those with older and younger kids

    We do A, but use rider swap. Last year when we went, there were 5 of us. Our youngest two didn't want to ride all the same things. We had one adult stay with them while the other two rode. Then we used the rider swap, and one of the two that rode stayed behind with the younger two, while one...

    Toy Story Mania or Rock N Roller Coaster?

    That truly depends on your boys and what they like. Mine would definitely be Toy Story Mania. I couldn't pay them enough to get on the RnR. My kids just aren't into the roller coasters, sadly. I love them. Have they ever been on a roller coaster before?

    HELP! 2 reservations, 1 MDE account?

    Yes, I think it should work. But maybe someone with more experience will answer as well. We are also going this January, and while DH and I are paying for the trip & both rooms, one of the rooms is reserved in my oldest son's name. He does not have an MDE account (yet). I am able to control...

    Dining plan, family of 6, two room reservation

    It depends on your reservations. Are both room reservations under one name? If so, the credits should all be linked together in one pool. If the rooms are under two different names, they will be separated by room. Last year we were a family of 5, and we had 2 rooms. But the way our...

    Help! Marathon weekend Jan 17'

    We have BOG lunch ADR for 11:20, so we should have plenty of time. I wasn't planning on trying an fastpasses until after that. We did the Welcome Show last year, and will probably do it again when we're with the rest of our family on Tuesday (they're arriving a day later than us). We have a...
