We really enjoyed it! :)

We loved Ohana, it was fantastic! I agree, paying ahead of time and just scanning your band was really easy. Loved it! Thanks for watching!

Awesome! I'm glad this video was helpful! And we do love Tusker House! It is a fun one! Have a magical vacation! ♥

Thanks so much!! I'm really looking forward to another cruise experience, it will be a great treat! And yes to preferred rooms, I'm also going to consider it there! :) Thanks for watching!

Wow, that's awesome!! Well I'm really looking forward to her show! It looks like such fun! I loved the last cruise, can't wait to experience it again! :)

I will try to do one, we really liked it - but I'll try to talk about it in more detail at some point. Bogged down with Christmas videos right now, but hopefully ASAP! :)

We are also trying garden grill for the first time since I was a kid! My husband insisted on pre rope drop crystal palace since it has become a bit of a tradition and he loves the breakfast for some reason. Hope piglet doesn't give us any attitude lol!

It isn't my husband's favorite food, but it does have a great atmosphere. I think if it were in any other park, it would have tougher competition - but since there isn't many TS in HS, it kind of just ends up being a default option - especially if you love character meals like we do. The characters are fun for the kids! CRT is amazing, I hope you love it! And yes, hopefully your Piglet is having a better day - ha! We are planning on giving that one another try at some point!

Yes! It was a great option, especially if we are already staying at Caribbean Beach, the food was great!

Thanks so much!! It is a great time, I"m really looking forward to it!

We also eliminated the Deluxe as an option for us, because it just seemed like too much food. The middle one - Disney Dining Plan, ended up being perfect for us, but like I mentioned in the video... we do at least 1 table service for day, so I knew we couldn't go lower than that. If you aren't interested in doing at least one table service per day, you might be able to get away with the quick service plan and then just pay the table service meals out of pocket. I would say sit down and figure up the math or see if you can use a Disney Dining Calculator to help average the costs... I would guesstimate that if you are going to do more than 3 table service meals in a week while there, it would be better to go with the middle plan that has Table Service entitlements. Hope that helps!

Thanks!! This is one we are considering at some point! I have to pick a hotel to spend a few days at before the DSMMC and AoA might be a good fit for that. I'm still deciding between Coronado, etc. :)

Me too I love drizella and maleficent And evil queen and cruella

+BayRaeDay The kids frequently share and my husband and I even share sometimes! We found them to be plenty big enough portions for us!

I'm going to try! We will vlog at very least on Christmas day. What they are getting for Christmas is a tough video to do because I can't do it when they are around! ;) Going to try to film it tomorrow or Friday!

Well, so far we've used their breaks to our advantage and they've missed little or no school. The spring trip was during Spring Break, so they didn't miss any days for that one - the cruise was before school started (school starts later here in MI, it starts in Sept) so no days missed for that - and the Fall trip was scheduled around a mini Fall break they had, so they only missed a few days for that trip. The February trip they will be missing some days for it since i didn't pick the time frame, it isn't planned around a school break... but we are fortunate that our school district encourages family vacations and them taking some days off of school to go on a family trip won't be a problem. :) Thanks for watching!

Oh I see. I think here in Oklahoma, our children do everything a month ahead those in Michigan. School starts in August, mini fall break in October, etc. That makes sense! I'm thinking of utilizing next year's mini fall break as well. The thing is, they are very strict on attendance so I'll need a plan lol. Thanks for your reply!

LOL! Yep, it is either a people love it or it isn't for them type of place it seems! :) Thanks for watching!

It's in February! :)

Thank you!! :)

Joi Violette you can leave the gratuity in cash, charge it to your band or gift card! Probably more options too lol they will take it all!!

Thanks so much! We're excited! You could leave a cash gratuity or use a Disney gift card like Brittani said, I just preferred to charge everything on my MagicBand so I just had a single charge at the end to deal with. Thanks for watching! Flower & Garden is a wonderful time of year to go, my favorite time of year to go to EPCOT!!

Thanks ladies!! Good to know I have options!!😉😉

That's sounds like a great idea to me charging back to the room you can still use a gift card I would assume to pay for room charges.

Yes, they are going as well :)

Yes, amazing! We will definitely use the Children's Activity Centers again! It worked out great!!

My husband was just asking me about it on this past trip.... ;)

If you're considering it, I would strongly encourage you to check out MouseOwners. You'll get a lot of helpful tips about how to pick a good home resort and whether or not it's worth it to buy resale. :)

Well, going off property to eat while at WDW wouldn't even be a consideration... it is a HUGE property and the amount of time it would take to get out of the park, drive off property to get to any sort of restaurant and then eat, go back to the park - just wouldn't be worth the time sacrifice. Honestly, most of the food within close driving proximity to Disney isn't going to be any better anyways, it's all fast food or restaurants with same or lower quality food. And we're talking taking hours out of your day to just go grab lunch because of the time it takes to get on/off property. Prices wouldn't be much lower since it is a tourist area all around there as well. If you're looking to save money, you can bring snacks and food into the park with you, and that can help keep costs down. If you haven't been there, I can't really describe it - but Walt Disney World is HUGE... and there is quite a big of logistics involved to get around the property. There is a bit of a price premium with the food at Disney, but we just go into it with the understanding that it will be a bit higher because that's part of the deal. Absolutely plan to pay the Disney prices and eat food within the parks would be my suggestion. We do a lot of "table service" meals which are sit down meals you see in the videos, those are totally optional too... You can do "quick service" where you just walk up and get your food without reservations... and that would be about half the cost for a family of four. $50 per meal vs. over $100. Hope that helps! :)
