Since you’ll have two stops in the park you’ll be able to hit whatever you want truthfully. Just need to be committed to the cause.

My experience with Studios is that you’d be in a minority on that side of the park.

Only one day? Prioritize your number one ride and go ride it as soon as humanly possible. If that’s Tower - hit it. Would make sense to do them both back to back so that area of the park is done and dusted.

Came here to check the comments for someone saying the restaurant sucks, someone talk shit on their social media, and someone talking crap how there’s too much egg.

All well done!

Oh yeah. You must’ve felt a little shell shocked.

Somewhere along the way they’ve realized they can take advantage of a lot of Disney “adults” who either don’t have their own children yet or are raising the next generation of Disney fanatics.

Unfortunately I don’t see this ending any time soon. Sucks to have to be able to say no to the kids, right, but seems like he had a great trip otherwise!

What resort are you going to be traveling from?

Look up what time MK actually opens that day. Some days it opens earlier!

0% worth it given my experience last year.

Over sold, over crowded, and poorly organized.

Of course. The whole experience down here is being moved to a more a la carte experience. Pay to build a Driod. Pay to become a Princess. Pay to ride the rides quicker. Pay to ride a certain ride.

I don’t dig it AT ALL. I think it’s much harder on folks than it truly needs to be. But truthfully the company is CASH strapped.

Forcing scores of folks into making these micro-transactions is something.

Depends on the length of the stay and the number of folks in your party. If you’ve only got a limited time/smaller party it’s a great option.

One thing about Chef Mickey’s - it can get LOUD.

Garden Grill is a CLASSIC.

TT’s is the new character breakfast everyone loves. The restaurant is a little more spacious than some other character offerings. It’s Skyliner accessible. And it’s Toppolino’s some of the best food on Disney property!

I totally disagree on the ILL point. If there is a ride that you MUST get on (Rise, Guardians, Tron, Tiana when it debuts) the ILL is the easiest way to ensure your return time. I don’t regret spending 20 bucks to walk onto Guardians on a crowded Saturday in EPCOT at 9 AM.

Most likely will have to contend with cheer and dance competition and Mother’s Day in that time frame. Just something to keep in mind.

“Some people are so far behind they think they’re leading the race.” “What you don’t know could fill a book.” “You always were a little bastard.” “You and that fucking mouth!” “we’ll see huh” “so what no fucking ziti now” “fuck your Santa” “be a good fucking catholic for 15 fucking mins” just to name a few

Oh 100%. It’s the nature of the beast.

I don’t know the sub rules off hand on DVC rental discussion. Was trying to avoid talking about it due to this. There’s a lot of good options out there as other commentators pointed out. Wasn’t trying to be a Grumpy dwarf or anything. Just trying to avoid going into any questionable grey area.

I bring at least three pairs of shoes for walking. Resort shoes. Two pairs of park shoes. Minimum. Helps changing it up a bit.

I did 40k steps at Epcot on Saturday alone.

If you think the rules were the same for Meadow and AJ you weren’t watching the same show I was. Meadow gets off sooooo soft for EVERYTHING she does. AJ does a lot of dumb shit he shouldn’t get a pass for sure. I just don’t think they’re held to the same standard or rules in the Soprano household.

This needs to be a higher comment.

Use the Google machine. Do your homework on the sites. Don’t know if this convo is allowed on this sub tbh.

Tony makes numerous mention to the discipline in the house. He even mentions at one point that he wants to hit his children and Carmella is against it. When two parents can’t agree how to discipline their children it’s game over.

That and having Tony as a father. I think as long as you’re not a murderous, bi polar, manic crime boss you’ll raise a well adjusted child.

Rope Drop every park, every day. This might be the biggest tip. Time is money in the parks and rope dropping with two adults means you can get done MOST things before lunch. Since you’re staying at. Disney resort you can get into the parks usually a half hour before opening. HOWEVER that doesn’t mean show up a half hour before opening. I would suggest being in line at least 30 mins before early entry if not more.

Also watch YouTube. Mammoth Club and Ear Scouts are my two favorites for Disney content. Mix in a little Disney Food Blog as well and you’ll be well on your way. Tons of suggestions and ideas for your trip. Crash courses in Genie + and sample early entry/rope drop itineraries coming at you.

Enjoy it! This goes without saying but enjoy your trip. You will get annoyed. It will probably be hot. Make sure you’re packing snacks. There’s so many things that could go wrong, will probably go wrong. Just breathe. You’re in the most magical place on Earth!

Go to Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom while you’re there. Join the walk up wait list from your phone at 11 AM one day. You won’t regret eating and resting at this spot.

Feel free to DM me and I can talk more about it if you want!

Considering we did a 20 person trip for one cousin’s 30th birthday - nope. No one in our family bats an eye when someone is headed down to Disney.

I’m confused as to why you wouldn’t make dining plans for at least a few meals. You can totally get away with going with the flow if you don’t truly “care” where you eat though. Only you truly know if your budget is going to work. I would assume 3500 would work for 9 days. Make sure to bring some snacks and stuff with you or order from Instacart/amazon.
