    Eating on $100 a day?

    We definitely have the option to eat breakfast in the room. We are staying at Pop and my best friend lives about 40 min from WDW and offered to do a grocery run for us and deliver if we wanted. Tusker House was one I wanted to try, my son really couldnt care less so I could probably save money...

    Eating on $100 a day?

    So we are heading to WDW in April, me and my son. 5 days, trying to stay under $500 total for food, including 3 meals a day and snacks. Thinking quick service dining is probably the way to go realistically though we do have 2 ADR's scheduled, one for Tusker House for lunch and another for Sci...

    Trying to figure out if my plans are even realistic

    I cannot do any single rider lines unless I do not ride and just stand with him in line and immediately go to the exit to meet him after. My son has autism so I am not comfortable leaving him unsupervised in the parks. He would easily get bored waiting on me and wander off.

    Does this look doable?

    Thanks, I have never used FP+, the last time I visited in 2011, it was still the run to the machine for FP. I am definitely a little overwhelmed.

    FP+ opens up on Friday. I have never used it but my TA wants me to book on Friday, she says they go fast for headliner rides. It is just me and my son so no extra adult. My son has autism and epilepsy, though since a hospital stay over Thanksgiving, he has not had a seizure, meds seem to be...

    Does this look doable?

    We have not been to WDW since the change in the way disability accomodations are handled. When we went before, MK was easy. We rode every single ride, Space Mountain, three times. I get to reserve fp Friday and I am considering cancelling my dining reservation that day because I am not sure we...

    Disney Dining Plan

    We have used it every trip. In 2006, the first trip, it was great and we definitely maximized it. At that time, we were a family of 4 and we literally split up the meals so every single meal was covered and we did not pay a penny oop for food. Our 2008 trip, we used it again, this time with a...

    Universal FP- Should I pay for it?

    Being just me and my son, I dont see how that would work for us so I may have to pay for the pass. I will look into the upgrading hotel route to see if that is a better option too. Thanks guys!

    Universal FP- Should I pay for it?

    I am taking my ASD son to WDW and Universal from April 17th thru the 24th. We have planned Disney from the 17th thru the morning of the 21st, then will transfer over to Cabana Bay for the rest of our trip. I recently read the US does not honor ASD on their version of the disability pass. Now...
