    Is the heat of September worth the smaller crowds?

    I did this in Sept 2022 with an infant and 2yo. Would I do it again? Yes, but it wouldn't be my first choice. I choose it because it was my first time renting DVC points and September is the cheapest season. We stayed at VGF and for the same dollars we would have been off the monorail another...

    Recs for evening childcare? Near WDW

    I used kids nite out back in September of this year and it really was great. Obviously we were nervous but wanted to do it. I put my kids to sleep and then meet my sitter in the lobby of my hotel. She was friendly and chatted with me on the walk to the room (she was a student at UCF studying...

    How old was your child?

    My oldest was 2.5yo and my youngest was 10months (same trip). First family vacation coming out of a covid world and it was exactly what we needed! My oldest is shy cause we stayed inside her first 2 years out of covid fear while we the kids were not boosted, but it was still a great time. She...

    Did anyone else get this email from MS?

    I agree! Trying to help is a start, and perhaps they are piloting this with the DVC community before rolling it out to a broader audience. My POV is this is probably less of a need for DVC but I'm sure many families could use help if they plan trips once in a while. Anything to help with the...

    DVC Resort Supplies

    Thank you everyone who has answered, super helpful! I'll add some tide & diswasher pods to my packing list but sounds like the rest they should have covered!

    DVC Resort Supplies

    Does anyone have a full list of all the supplies that come with a DVC? Is there anything I need to restock on my own (paper towels, toilet paper, dish washer soap, etc)? For context I'm staying in a 1bed at VGF and renting DVC points, so this is my first time using DVC. Anything else to know...

    Struggling with a plan

    I think both of your plans look good, its really personal preference on if you want more of a "full day" (9-5) at Hollywood vs. just the afternoon. I agree the back and forth is easier if you do HS Friday, however I always think about having a "home base" which is your hotel and if you go to WDW...

    Pool Sharing - Group DVC Stay

    I have a 2 family trip upcoming in September. Since we booked a different times we are staying in different resorts. One family is in VGF and the other is at BLT. We would like to hang out together at the pool together. I've read about pool hopping, but this is just a family vacation that wants...

    Topolino's Terrace with a Toddler

    Hello! I'm planning on going to Topolino's with my 2.5yo and 1yo for breakfast. The menu has prices for 3-9, but not under 3. My 2.5yo will eat! Can I order them a meal and will they charge me? I'm familiar with other buffet type restaurants where children under 3 are mostly free, but how does...

    First Family Trip with 1 & 2.5yo

    Thanks all for the response! Definitely thinking about a monorail resort and renting DVC for a larger room. I would LOVE it if the kid slept in strollers, but its not something they do a lot right now. I'm hoping the almost 3yo will be able to go longer some days and maybe mom and I can split...

    First Family Trip with 1 & 2.5yo

    I've been going to WDW with friends and my wife several times. Haven't been in a while as I was growing out my family. Everything I know about Disney touring plans are rope drop to park closing, which seems impossible given my new situation. I am anxiously trying to understand what a trip...

    Rank the parks based on RD

    I would vote Epcot due to the late opening as you mentioned. Plus there are not as many attractions there. You can have a great day just walking around the world showcase! Second for me would be Animal Kingdom. If you are willing to forgo a key attraction (FOP) you should be able to do the rest...

    Two Cribs in One Room?

    Planning a trip with the family that consists of DW, DD (1yo at time of trip), DD (2.5yo at time of trip). While discussing with DW we were wondering if we could have 2 cribs in one room? We're not sure if the 2.5yo will be out of the crib by then and putting them in a bed for the first time in...
