I totally agree with many of the suggestions. Most people cant handle the 3 meals a day or even 2 a day plus 2 snacks. I've done the Deluxe twice once in 2011 for Christmas and this last April during Easter. My parents and sister were blown away with the amount of food at each meal. My wife and...

If you can Dining reservations in advance or at the 180 are preferred especially for the top restaurants but that depends on the time you go. I was at WDW during Easter and had all my dining confirmed exactly 18p days prior to the trip which was back in October. I am going to WDW again in...

@KTaylor The only time tips are automatically charged is if there are 6 or more people in your party. We just came back from our spring break trip. We just charged the tip to our room account using our Key to the World Card. The server will ask to see one card from every room or just yours if...

@Burghdiva You can go to the Walt Disney World website to customize your vacation package with all the dining plans. I just did that for my in-laws Christmas trip to give them all of their options from different resorts to different dining plans that way you can see all of your options and pick...

I wore my 2013 Nike Airmax+ sneakers. Very comfortable for all the walking I did for 7 days at WDW. I also wore sandals on the rainy days so my feet were still comfortable even being wet.

I would suggest doing Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom, Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort, Tusker House @ Animal Kingdom, and Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club Resort. Those all have characters during the meals. We've done Crystal Palace, Cape May Cafe, and Chef Mickey's several times and...

@cba DME is an awesome benefit if you are staying on-site. If you're like me, as soon as you land at MCO you want to be at Disney. With DME, they will send you luggage tags approximately 2 weeks prior to your trip. You would attach these tags to your bags before checking in your luggage at your...

@Burghdiva Meal plans are totally worth it. I've done it twice most recently two weeks ago. Although you are only there for two days, you still save money using the dining plan. I disagree with the above statement about waiting 45 min even with a ADR. The longest I've waited after my scheduled...

As @HouCuseChickie stated, there are ADR Hoarders. These people will use multiple credit cards along with multiple accounts for dining reservations. They can't make up there mind right away so they book in the masses until a few days prior. I just came back from WDW for our trip during the 1st...

@cindybeckett My family and I were at WDW the first week of April for a family spring break trip. I requested a GAC at Town Hall at the Magic Kingdom the first night we were there. I explained to the CM that my father had a torn meniscus and his doctor instructed to avoid standing in lines for...

This is awesome! I collected all the bus and boat cards this afternoon. The key is to be polite. Monorail are extremely hard as the cast members don't have them. I collected 1 last evening. Today, I politely asked our bus driver and he gave me all three explaining they will be collector items...

Most definitely on-site. I have stayed on-site 3 times and off-site several times as well. On-site will save you money. You can take advantage of Disney's Magical Express which picks you up and drops you off at the airport, Extra Magic Hours for a different park each day if you are a resort...

I just did last week. You will have several spaces to provide your check-in and checkout times. Credit card information to file on your account, a pin number if you decide to use your Key to the World Card for merchandise or food purchases. At the end of the on-line completion process you will...
