On my most recent trip (Oct 21-28), I actually commented to my husband that I was seeing an increase in the number of service animals in the park. At both WDW and at Universal, I saw several service dogs accompanying people in the parks. All of them were very well behaved, and wore bright...

We leave to catch our train in about 3 hours :sohappy: (We won't arrive in Disney until tomorrow morning, but I count this as the start of the trip!)

Woo! (I don't know why Cookie Monster has cupcakes, but I'll go with it.)

13 days to go! Guess I really should start packing and finish those costumes... :lookaroun

Love your trip report! Thank you so much for chronicling the vegan and vegetarian options - my husband and I keep mostly vegetarian diets for health reasons, and it's great to know that there are foods that we'll be able to eat while in WDW :) Also, I am incredibly jealous that you were able...

20 Days til we check into Animal Kingdom Lodge :sohappy: Can't believe it's almost here!

I agree - it depends a bit on what you define as "magical". Personally, I love getting reservations at the Crystal Palace for breakfast first thing in the morning, before the park opens. You'll be allowed in to the park to get to your reservation, and Main Street is empty. The food is good...

Down to 23 days! Woo! :sohappy:

29 days! We're down to less than a month! Guess I should finish those MNSSHP costumes soon...

:o We did. It was the last day of our honeymoon, and I had a bit of a melt down when we were turned away. I honestly wasn't thinking straight (I was in tears), and my DH didn't know you could do that. So we ended up buying two tickets at full price. So yeah... count how many days you have...

It's a fried pastry item, which is sort of twisty dough that is hollow, and covered in cinnamon-sugar. It's crispy and crunchy on the outside, but soft and gooey on the inside. Served warm, occasionally with chocolate sauce, but I like them plain. I like getting them from the cart in...

Make sure, if you are purchasing your park passes separate from your room, that you have enough days on them for all the days you intend to be at the park. Really. There is nothing more heart breaking than walking up to the turn styles of the MK on the last morning of your trip, and...

My husband and I took our honeymoon to WDW last year, complete with character meals, photos with characters, and all that good stuff. Both of us are in our mid 20s. We won't wait too horribly long for meet and greets with characters, but when there's no line, we'll get our photo taken. We...

We were in WDW for Halloween last year, but we attended MNSSHP earlier in the week (on the 25th, I think). However, we had a reservation at Cali Grill that evening, and were using the Monorail to get there. It was absolutely packed. The lines for the Monorail and the Ferry were insane. I...

First thing that comes to mind is, of course, the Dole Whip, but that's a recently acquired taste. From my first trip when I was 5, I've always had to get a churro from the churro cart in Frontier Land, and a Mickey Ice Cream bar somewhere in the MK. So those two are actually the tops on my...
