My wife and I are surprising our three boys (8,6,3) with a long weekend at WDW from 2/2-2/5 as we want to escape the Chicago cold and get a little extra out of our APs. We are staying at SSR. We will also be back at WDW from 5/28-6/5 (8 nights, but we’ll be in the parks on both travel days, so...
An Introduction: A Great, Big, Beautiful Trip Report
Hey, hi, hello and welcome to my 4th trip report!
If this is your first rodeo on my trip reports, the exit is that way.
I’m sure you’ll be wanting to use it in the near future. If this isn’t your first time reading my trip reports, hi...
Good morning all!!
We have recently put in an offer on an Animal Kingdom resale contract through dvcresalemarket.com. Really fantastic and knowledgeable group of people ready to help you at every step of your DVC journey. Our offer on a AKL 50 point contract at $157 a point was accepted...
Alright, team, Disney World Vet here who needs some help for what for us will be an unorthodox trip.
We're a party of 8 but splitting for the day and hoping to all meet up at EPCOT that evening. My half of the crew (Boy Squad) really wants to do FoP, EE at AK, AND RotR at HS, and then hop to...
An Introduction: “Welcome Foolish Mortals!”
I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty impressed. It’s only taken me 2 weeks since being back home to start this trip report. That, my friends, is what we call self improvement. But also, don’t expect it to ever happen again.
There’s only so much improving I...
Are the walk through animal exhibits, like Jungle Trek or Gorilla Falls open at Animal Kingdom during Early Theme Park Entry? Not sure if we’ll fight the early crowds at Pandora, and trying to figure out what we may be able to do early on while waiting to get an early spot in line for Safari...
Hi, we are close to making a decision to buy at Animal Kingdom. One of the concerns that my wife and I have is the availability of rooms. We talked to a DVC sales agent and he was bragging about how many new members they are currently signing up a week, which makes us nervous that we would make...
Hello,
Is there plenty to do at Kidani Village with toddlers (age 3 & 4)? Looking to spend a couple days at the park and a few days at the hotel the first week of December. Is the standard studio pretty spacious? Anything else you recommend I put with my reservation? (Savannah view if possible...
Hello! I had a few questions about how points would work when mixing direct and resale! Me and my wife are wanting to finally join the club and purchase 125 points direct for OKW or AK so we can have the benefits that come with direct. We plan on only using these points for DVC hotels. We also...
Does anyone happen to know if you are staying at the main lodge if guests are able to use the pool at kidani? I feel like the pool is better in Kidani but we aren’t DVC.
Hello! I was wondering where the best place to buy spirit jerseys is in WDW? I'm going to Animal Kingdom next month and was wondering if any shops sell them there.
Thanks!!!
Hello!
I am planning a trip for spring break this year and am strongly considering adding an after-hours event to the agenda to try to survive the crowds. It would most likely just be me and another adult attending. We are trying to choose between the three offerings: After Hours at Magic...
Looking to bring my daughter to Disney for her 2nd birthday (with friends with a 2 year old as well) next September. We are booking our DVC resort soon, but we have yet to use our DVC membership yet. Our “Home” is Animal Kingdom Lodge. From what I can gather, seems like a good choice for the...
I know pop warner typically does a separate ticketed event in Animal Kingdom the Wednesday that they're at WDW. Has anyone gone Wednesday during the day and noticed more or less crowds? Or the day after? Thank you!
So we are doing a non Disney vacation Aug 20-28. We are doing Discovery Cove on the 26th. My kids are 16 and 20. Our favourite park is AK.
While we are in Orlando, the following are happening
Aug 26th DAD AK $125 ( 7pm to midnight)
Aug 27th MNSSHP $79 (4 pm to midnight)
Anyone know how many...
For people who have gone to AK after hours, how has your experience been with Flight of Passage? What was the wait time like, and what were your strategies as far as what time of night to get on it? I bought after hours primarily for FOP and to tackle my Expedition Everest fear (never been on...
I’m heading to animal kingdom in September to see pandora for the first time! Since disney announced that extra magic hours will be available every day during this time, this has changed how i’m planning on tackling pandora.
We will be staying off site so the EMH will not be available to us...
I’ve heard that Animal Kingdom tends to open Pandora earlier than the rest of the park due to crowds. During the opening week of Galaxy’s Edge, do you think they’ll follow the same strategy? If so, how early do you think Pandora would open?
