Hi, I am planning my first ever trip trip WDW!!!!!! I purchased a book called The Unofficial Guide To WDW 2010 and it had lots of inf. However, I Still have a few questions.1. Is the Magic Your Way Plus Dining a good idea/deal with a group of 4, with 2 adults and 2 teenagers?2. Is WDW worth the $?3.Is a family suite in the ll-Star Music Value Resort nice? THANKS!
I live in FL and we go a lot! I went a lot before we moved here also! First off go to Mouse Savers.com you will get all the info you can imagine there! Also FOR SURE DO THE DINING PLAN!!! We purchased it for our family. 4 of us and in 2 days it already paid for itself! We also used to dinner points and did a dinner show which that was so worth it. I tell everyone I know to get the dining plan! WDW is so much fun! Our boys liked MGM more. with the tower of terror and the power rangers, woody and buzz. We didn t or have we ever went to Animal Kingdom. I heard it s not that great and the 20 some times we have been we still have never went! Focus more time on MK and MGM. Epcot takes a couple days to do. Make sure you stay for the fireworks! We made the mistake and crammed Epcot into one day for us and went to every country! It was fun but hectic! We had our boys make a mask and got it stamped at every country! At the end of the day for the fireworks we were about to fall over and sleep! After it was done we could barely walk!! If you go do it in two days one half one day with fireworks and the other day the other half with fireworks! DO NOT MISS the fireworks! they are 100% better than Magic Kingdom! have fun! check out the site I mentioned! It gives you lots of tips! I stay at The Wilderness Lodge. LOVE IT! never stayed at the value resorts. all I know is the value resorts are pretty far away, and I said to my Hubby. after a long day at the park of MK. Thank God we are staying so close, I couldn t make it to the value resorts! They really do sit way off from the parks. But you don t spend any time in them so it really does not matter. We stayed so close b/c our son was pretty young and I would stay and sleep in with him while my Hubby took our other son to MK. When we got up and around and took the boat over I would call him on the walkie talkie and meet up with him! and it was close for me to leave early with him and nap while my hubby and older son stayed at the park!
Yes, of course WDW is worth the money! A Walt Disney World vacation is something that you will remember for the rest of your life. There is so much to do as well, so the Dining plan is a good Idea. I am only 14, but I have been to Disney 18 times, and I am going again in about 2-3 weeks. I have always enjoyed going, and speaking from a teens point of view, everybody will love it. There is something for everyone at Disney, as it doesn t matter what you like. It is a very good idea to stay on Property as well! I have never stayed where you are thinking of, but I know that all of the resort rooms are very nice. I have stayed at quite a few at that! The Unofficial Guide will help you a lot, as I know it has always helped my family as we planned our vacations. Since you have teens comeing with you on your trip, depending on when you go, be sure to get homework in advance to your trip. I am a Freshman in High School this year, and I know that it is very hard work to get all of my homework done on vacation, getting it ahead of time helps a lot. Most of all, don t forget the sunscreen, a sweatshirt (for at night), and have a great and magical time at WDW!~EE~
The All Star hotels are nice. They are just a little smaller than the more expensive rooms and they come with the same amenities except for a pool side bar.I think the place is worth the money, it s non stop entertainment. And I never used the meal plan so I don t know what kind of value it is.
We ve been to WDW 13 times. Our daughter was 4 when we first went. She s 17 now. We ve stayed at all of the All Stars, Pop Century, before we became Disney Vacation Club Members. Since then, we ve stayed at the Beach Club, Saratoga Springs, Kidani Village. We enjoyed staying at the All Star Music, Movies. The All Star Sports usually gets a little noisy, because people who like sports tend to stay there, and play sports until really late. The Pop Century is newer has it s own bus. The All Stars share a bus, so it takes a little longer to get around. Their food court has some better food too. I love the vegetable lasagne. We ve tried the dining plan, it was great. It really depends on your family. You can dine at some fancy places, you get a lot of food. Since, we are DVC members, we can take the leftovers, since we have a kitchen, otherwise a lot of food can go to waste. Yes, WDW is definitely worth the money. It s a fabulous place, that s why we ve been there so often. If your teens are over 16, you could do some tours; like: the Keys to the Kingdom Tour Around the World at Epcot (Segway Tour-we enjoyed this so much, we did it twice). You can go to the Disney website get a free DVD to plan your trip a personalized map. Plan as much as you can ahead of time, get Fastpasses (free), to save time. Don t forget the sunscreen light rain jackets. You can buy a mug at the food court that you can refill for free throughout your stay. We save money by bringing pop tarts, english muffins, mini muffins for breakfast. They have toasters microwaves in the food court. We bring snacks to take to the parks, water bottles you can fill at the drink station. Make dining reservation as soon as you can. They fill up fast. You can do this online now. If you re dining at another resort, using Disney transportation, allow extra time, since you ll have to change buses at the Transportation Ticket Center. Have Fun!
