Walt Disney World

My wife and I will be taking 2 small children to Walt Disney World in Florida in 2 weeks. I get to go as a bonus thru my work. We are staying at the Hilton. My question is what is the weather like down there in January? Any good ideas on what to see and do with twins that are 2 years old? I am kind of looking forward to it. A chance to get out of Iowa in January. Oh well, enought blabbing. Any responses are greatly appreciated.

Admittedly - I do not know much about Disneyland/Disney's California Adventure (DCA). I read on the disboards that there are no current plans to transfer FP+ there and get rid of the Legacy FP.

I feel this is largely due to that FP+ is still in it's infancy, and they've had a fair number of bugs. It wouldn't shock me to see it there eventually, but I don't think it'll happen this year. But that's just my opinion.

I will be out in LA in April to record some stuff for Marvel, I know a few Imagineers personally and will ask them.

Universal may have growing attendance but that doesn't mean more people are paying for Express Pass.

And....the option I use to avoid the new Fast Pass, one you aren't thinking of.....go to the Park at times that you don't need them. You as a DVC member should know that if you go at certain times of the year you can pretty much walk right up to most all the attractions but Space Mountain, Splash Mountain and Thunder Railroad at MK, Star Wars in DS, It's Bug's Life and Kilimanjaro Safari in AK and Soarin' and Test Track in EPCOT.

This is not a true work-around for FP+. This is merely going at a time when the numbers are in your favor. The most popular time for DVC is the first two weeks of December. Point costs are lower and the crowds are almost non-existent.

If you want some of the best up-to-date information about what is going on at either WDW or Disneyland I would go to the dis.com website. Those people have more information than some of the Cast Members.

As is the week before Thanksgiving and MON-TUE-WED for park attendance.

As is the week before Spring Break and the Week before Fall Breaks in October.

I asked this earlier....but you didn't answer. What do you think of the new Bracelet's that act as the all-in-one for your visits to WDW?

Cool, thanks. Yea, I looked at some Dis boards a few years ago before I went on a trip. One of the best tips I got was that you didn't have to use your FP in the exact return hour. I remember using a few FP at rides hours after the return time and they honored them still.

I would never go, even if I was a DVC holder during Spring Break, Mid-May to September, Thanksgiving Week, and December 20th to Jan 1.

The other times have different levels of attendance that make it feasible to go. Some still require use of the FP+ but for the most part you have pretty easy access.

I don't mind them. The Key to the Kingdom cards were a bit of a pain, but they weren't horrible. The nice part about the Magic Bands is that your park tickets, room keys, FP+, and room charging ability is all right there on the band.

The whole customization is neat. Of course, Disney found their niche to sell things to decorate them.

Overall....I like them. I like the new FP+ system as well.

Here is a cool LIVE webcam of Disneyland.

The thing with DVC, is it's based on points. December is the slowest time for WDW, so it requires the least amount of points to go....which is why those first two weeks are THE busiest for DVC.

I didn't mind the KTK cards, but they could also magnetize issues. For me I love the wrist bands because you don't have to worry about Credit Cards, Room Cards/Keys and it also is re-usable.

I'm not one to worry about decorating mine....I'll leave mine as dull gray. My daughter on the other hand....blings hers.

I like the FP+....but the jury to me is still out on the GAC program. You can thank that travel agent who abused the system by hiring Handicapped individuals to go on trips with families for that.

I'm at WDW now. FP+ sucks.

We stay offsite but booked a campsite and linked our tickets so we could book FP in advance. Only one night at the campsite (which we won't even go to) and it lets you reserve for all your ticket days.

Workaround found. The system still sucks. Only 3 FP and no park hopping is ducking lame.

Which of the DVC's do you normally stay at?

How many times have the points changed over the life of your purchase?

I love that cam on the disboards.....I've been a member over there for about 10 years (maybe more).

It's very common for Offsite guests to book a room to be able to do FP+ in advance. Otherwise, being there are rope drop to stand in line to book them is a huge pain. The 3 FP is rather lame, and the 'no PH' is even worse - however, for those who didn't go to the parks regularly, they likely wouldn't be pulling more than 3 FPs anyway.

We own at Grand Floridian. We just bought into DVC last year.....every other trip was paid out of pocket. I proposed to the fiance at the Polynesian and we decided to buy as a present to ourselves. We've stayed at the GF and the AKL.

As far as the actual resorts, we've stayed at nearly every one.

EDIT: If you enjoy going to the parks, buying DVC is the way to go.
