    Just back..some thoughts and THANKS!!!

    When I reserved through the Loews site, there was a box to put in room requests. When I checked in, they noted the requests. We arrived around noon, our room wasn't ready. But we received the text around 3:30 with our room number. The only downside was that we were poolside, so with the lights...

    Just back..some thoughts and THANKS!!!

    I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Schumigirl and Macraven for all of their work on these boards. You both helped to make our trip truly magical! I don't think we would have had nearly as great of a time without your sage advice! We stayed at Royal Pacific Aug 22-24, went to US for a half day...

    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

    Does anyone have recommendations spots for viewing Hallowishes? I'm debating between the spot in Liberty Square people have talked about, the bridge to Tomorrowland, or the grassy area in front of Casey's. I know there aren't as many projections. We'd like something with a decent view, but...

    I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all those on this thread. We'll be going on Aug 28th, and I'm so excited to see the reports tomorrow! I appreciate all the VERY helpful info. This is our first MNSSHP and only our 2nd trip to Disney with the kids.

    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

    If we don't arrive before 4pm, say like 4:15, for the Aug 28th party, how bad will the wait at the entrance be to get in? Thanks!

    When to go: Aug or Nov?

    We are going at the end of August because our schools don't go back until Labor Day. Many schools in the south and FL go back in early to mid August, which helps cut down on crowds. It is going to be crazy hot and you have the hurricane season issue as well. November weather is iffy and can be...

    Hogwart's Nighttime show

    I read a thread from Jan on Orlando Insider about this and I"m concerned about crowds. We are going on Aug 22-24 and we would like to see this. Our kids are 7 and 10. Their description made it seem like it will be crazy crowded with long lines. Is that still true? Can anyone share their...

    Best tips for August trip

    This sounds exactly like our plan for this August, except we are not bringing water, we will just grab free waters as we need them from counter service. As PP mentioned, I really don't want to carry much. Last time we had a stroller with a cooler in the basket which worked well. No one wants to...

    Jedi Training with 7am EMH?

    Thank you so much for this!!! We did this last time, but my 4yo chickened out as soon as he saw Darth Maul. :( He really wants to do it this trip, so we are prioritizing it. We are staying onsite, so we are going to the last 7am EMH in August on the 25th (at least that we know of so far), and...

    Stuff to do in and around Royal Pacific

    It is a relatively quick walk or boat ride to Citywalk. You could obviously swim, or pool hopping is allowed at Universal, and the Cabana Bay pool looks pretty fun too. With girls that age, I would consider visiting Hard Rock Hotel?

    Shoes!

    I'm considering the Keens, but I've had Keen hiking shoes, and they are just too wide and not a great fit for me. To be honest, I'm probably going to wear sneakers and bring a cheap pair of flip flops in my poncho bag for the water rides. We tend to do afternoon breaks, so the sneakers will stay...

    Kidcot To "Retire" "Duffy On A Stick"

    Love these! We were going to do the passport instead of Duffy this trip, but this makes that sort of unnecessary now. I'm excited for them!!

    Kid friendly places for a large family with young kids... in the Springs

    Here are ones we are looking at: Smokehouse for BBQ, Cooke's of Dublin for Fish n Chips/chicken, Earl of Sandwich (my son hated the pizza sandwich last time, so keep that in mind), D-Luxe Burger for burgers and milkshakes. We have Blaze in town already and the kids like it so we wanted to try...

    Jedi Training Academy and Slinky Dog this summer- which to rope drop?

    I hope this continues to be true. This gives me so much hope. It seems like the waits for TSL have been lower than Pandora or 7DMT and I"m hoping that continues to be the case in August. THANKS!!!!!

    AUGUST 2018 Car rental watch

    Just booked Intermediate SUV through Costco for $275 for third week of August. Going to keep checking if it goes down. It's $447 on Alamos' website. I'm loving Costco! But hoping it comes down just a bit more.

    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

    Yes, after reading more people on here say that they got three as long as it overlapped, I went back to add a third. I guess I shouldn't have.

    "Official" 2018 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - A Spooktacular Celebration!

    The dreaded email from Disney came this morning that my "extra" day of fast passes would be cancelled. I called and was on hold A LONG TIME (I checked my phone and it was 35 minutes before someone picked up). I was on hold more than that so that the CM could talk to tech to figure out what...
