    Current wait time surprisingly low?

    Thank you! Yes, we are trying to keep an open mind and listen to our bodies rather than pushing through and making ourselves ill! My sister also qualifies for DAS so we can sit in the aircon whilst waiting for rides, luckily. Indoor shows are our favourites anyway - last time we did Tiki Room...

    Current wait time surprisingly low?

    The heat is making me nervous! We’re from the UK so not used to really high heat, and we’ve only ever gone at Easter/October so this will be new for us. We’ve planned lots of breaks, lots of evenings in the parks rather than day-time and lots of water/fans/UV umbrellas/air-con time. Still think...

    Current wait time surprisingly low?

    Thank you everyone! This makes complete sense, we’ve never been in Summer before (always went Easter time) so we have no comparison and after our last trip was chaos due to crowds - a post-Covid thing I’m sure - we were nervous but things are (touch wood) looking good? Last trip we went in for...

    Current wait time surprisingly low?

    Hi everyone! We go to WDW next week (🥳) so I have been non-stop monitoring wait times for a few weeks. Over this past weekend, including today, I've noticed that the wait times really aren't that high for what I thought was a holiday weekend? I mean, when I've just checked, BTMR was 20 minutes...

    Have You Ever Had To Confront Another Guest's Poor Behavior?

    I wish I had said something about this, it still angers me today. We were waiting for a bus a couple years ago and had just missed the last one, so were at the front of the line. I have knee problems that flair up occasionally and today was a bad day - as in we nearly had to ask for a wheelchair...

    To Infinity and Beyond… Or Not… When we arrived at Magic Kingdom our first stop was to meet Mickey and Minnie – a must-do obviously, can’t go to WDW and not meet the main mouse himself! We had a FP for this and unfortunately I think the pictures are on Dad’s PP account (his wasn’t linked to...

    The British are Coming! An April '19 TR (Updated 09/03)

    The Fairest of Them All One of the things we wanted on this trip was for it to feel more relaxed – Emily and I were getting older so the need to be constantly entertained was lower, we had been to WDW many times now so had done a lot of the character experiences, and we all just wanted to have...

    Thank you! Ooo okay, we're very wary about it because of some of the breakdowns but I am tempted to try it when we go next year - it does seem to be super convenient, building more would be a great idea, especially around AK and AKL!

    It's Raining Pineapples (Hallelujah)! At this point there were some dark clouds (as seen above) hanging over us and we were getting concerned – which we had a right to be because as we were walking back to World Showcase, the heavens opened and we had to take shelter in a shop, where we also...

    The British are Coming! An April '19 TR (Updated 09/03)

    Thank the Phoenicians! We arrived back at the room at about 2pm, where we all fell into a post-lunch food coma and napped until 4:30ish (I told you, jet lag!). Once we had all risen, we headed on out to EPCOT, where we had to rush to our first FP (and my second favourite ride after Jungle...

    A lie in?! At Disney?! As a family who has been to Disney so many times over the years, I would like to say that we have mastered the plan – for our family at least. Dealing with jet lag is a common problem that we have managed to solve – it always hits us on days 3 to 4 so we always plan in a...

    Quick Update It’s been a while… I’m not sure what the etiquette is here for time between the trip and writing the report but it’s been about two years since my last update, and a lot has happened. I started my third year at university and that came with a lot of work and stress – so no posting...

    Yak & Yeti The food at Yak & Yeti was incredible but they forgot all our entrées apart from my mum’s, so they gave us the extra beer and wine that my parents got, that wasn’t included on the dining plan, for free! :drinking1 To start my parents got Ahi Tuna Nachos, which they loved, it's one...

    Winning in Dinoland Next is my parent’s favourite show, Nemo, the songs are great and original, it’s definitely a must-do and one of the best shows. Plus it doesn’t get too busy so you’re always guaranteed a seat in the show you queue up for. AK have some of the best rides and shows, it’s...

    Hakuna Matata Next up was a must-do on my list – The Festival of the Lion King, I’ve never seen this before and really wanted to go and watch. We were sat in the giraffe zone - I didn't know giraffes made noises haha! I really enjoyed it, I thought it was very fun and I loved watching all...

    Pandora Day 3 involved a lie-in, the first of the trip! It’s usually by day 3/4 that the jet lag starts to set in, so we were up at 10:30 and left the room at 12:30 to get a bus to AK. We usually like to avoid the afternoons due to the heat, but Pandora FP were hard to get, so this day was...

    Dreaming with Mickey So we come to the final part of day 2, the longest and busiest day of our trip, and it was time to watch Fantasmic! I always get super nervous for the ducks that swim around the ‘stage’ before it starts and really hope they swim away before the fire starts – that’s one...

    It was probably our busiest day so far! Definitely the longest I've written so far haha. Thank you! Haha me too, the main reason I'm writing it is to relive the trip and attempt to put off the Disney-fever for a little while longer.

    Dramatic Beginnings at HS When we got to HS we noticed the new Gondolas (is that what they call them?) hanging around, they look pretty exciting but I don't think I'll ever go on them, they're terrifying! I love the old Hollywood feel of HS, it feels kinda magical and like stepping back in...
