Everyone has had great tips.....this is a very helpful thread!! THANKS!! :hug:

Yes, it really has helped me out alot!! Thanks so much for all the replies!!

I am so jealous...we love WDW.

We spent New Years Eve at WDW and had the dining plan. Try to make dining reservation, for a sit-down meal every day. You will be surprised at how many restrauants will not take walk ups. This will also give you a chance to take a break and sit down for awhile. When you make reservations, if they don't have a table for your whole group, ask if they have two tables. Be willing to eat at odd times... you will have a better chance of getting in.

I also love the extra magic hours! We always did the end of the day EMH. I think we accomplished more during EMH's...then we did all day.

Have a great trip. I can't wait to hear all about it.

My Husband wants to eat at that restaurant this year. I am the one that always asks for ketchup, mayo....:cool:

We stayed at Pop Century last year and plan on going there again this year. We are going to stay at a Deluxe 3 or 4 days and during those days we we will hang around the resort. When we go to the parks we will be staying at the Pop. Last year we were never even at the resort. I really like the Pops food court and gift shop.

We're going in April so I wanted to get added to this thread too. I went a couple times as a kid but my husband has never been so I said we had to go for his birthday :) I'm soo excited!!

What is the weather like in late March/early April at Disney? We've always went in the summer when it's super hot and I was wondering if we would need our jackets at night or ???

We went in March once and it was in the 70s. You will probably need a jacket for evening

Thanks!!! I'm excited because we wont feel ran down from the heat. Last time we went we stayed inside the hotel for the hottest parts of the day and went out early and stayed out late. We are going to try the Sci-fi dinner this time too. I'm excited about that. We always do Liberty Tree Tavern, it's our fave. The food is beyond good. :)

You will like the Sci fi we ate there last year. My Daughter loved it. We ate at Liberty tree also. It is very pleasant there that time of year and you will have a great time

Do you have to stay at one of the Disney Hotels to get the special pin for your birthday?
