Re: Christmas

I love Christmas at MK. I'm hoping to maybe take my mom next year. My parents are a professional Santa and Mrs Claus, so taking my dad during "the season" is out of the question, but my mom desperately wants to see all the decorations. It's hard for her to get away after Halloween because ...

Re: Boo Bash & Halloween

I cannot tell you how angry I was when I saw that they released more tickets. I sat on hold for 2 days in a row to get our tickets - first day I was too late when they finally got to me so I started over the next day. I don't understand how you can say "sold out", which is what we paid fo...

Re: Flying, Driving, Teleporting?

only ever drove to WDW, back in the 1990's from South Carolina, usually took me and my buddy 6-7 hrs depending on traffic :P We've only ever driven also- and also from SC (and Charlotte NC right on the state line). While we don't mind the drive, I'm just looking for convenience for this upcoming tr...

We'll be coming from the UK so flying for us, I think it's about 10 and a half hours? when we do eventually make it over it could potentially be our youngest son's first flight and our oldest one's first flight since 2015 when he was only 4, so he doesn't remember much about it and it was only a qu...

Flying, Driving, Teleporting?

I thought I'd start a post here about vacation modes of travel to our favorite Disney Parks. I'm currently on the watch for flights for our Oct trip but the prices are just crazy high right now. We could drive it- it's only 8 hrs, I just don't know that I want to this year. Besides the flight prices...

Re: Closing Disney Stores?

We have a Disney outlet near where I live, and I'm really hoping they don't close it. It's the only place I can get good discounted merchandise from the parks. For instance, roughly 6 months ago, I bought 2 of the light up Halloween necklaces they sell in the park for $3.99 each (probably $10-20 in ...

Re: The Hunt For Good Food In Magic Kingdom!!!

We loved our meal at Liberty Tree Tavern but that's been many years ago. It was a character meal when we visited that trip. Not sure how long it's been but I'd guess 10+ years at least. Since then though, we really love to grab a hot dog at Casey's Corner. Our upcoming trip I''m hoping to hit Skippe...

Re: hollywood studios

It's funny, even now I don't refer to it as Hollywood Studios when among family- we all still call it MGM even though that name has been gone quite some time. I'm honestly not sure what other name would be appropriate. HS pretty much nails it, but I'm curious what everyone comes up with.

I am planning my fall and winter trips to WDW and I am noticing that it's really hard to book a room for after September. Almost impossible for less than $400 per night. All Star resorts, Pop are almost completely booked. I found a couple weeks in there that Pop is open but at over $225 per night a...

Re: Boo Bash & Halloween

What Disney has done is taken away anything that resembles something for free: Magical Express, Fast Pass, Sorcs. of the M. Kingdom, ect. and they will continue to do so. What they have learned is that people will pay the same if not more for an experience at the parks that is less than what we had...
