As you know, I am going to Disney in 65 days! I am getting so incredibly excited! I am not one to just go to Disney and wing it. That works for some people, but not me. I don’t like to stand in line. I like to know where to go and when to go there to avoid the crowds. On our last trip, our longest line was 10 minutes or so and it was NOT because the parks weren’t busy. It was because I knew how to avoid the crowds.
I want to teach you all what i know too. I’ve been doing that through the Disney World Training posts. What I need to know is how many of you read those posts. They can take up to an hour to write (which I don’t mind doing), but I need to know who is reading it. I know not everyone likes to comment on posts, but sometimes I’ll post an article and only get a couple comments so I don’t really know who is reading and benefiting from it.
So if you read my Disney World Training posts, please take just a moment to leave me a comment to let me know. I’ve got to get really serious about planning our trip, and I am glad to take you all along for the ride (via the training posts) if you are interested. Also while you are taking the moment to post, if you could also post some Disney topics you want me to cover, that would be great! Thanks guys!!
NOTE: I am not considering stopping these, I am just asking because I would be a lot more diligent about posting them regularly if I knew who was looking forward to them. :)

I read all of your disney world post! I am a huge disney fan and have been to disney world 16 times so I am always interested in anything disney. When I told my husband about your blog he laughed and said it combined my 2 favorite things, disney and coupons:). My son is 5 months old so all of my disney trips have been without children so I would love articles about fun things to do with kids at disney!
PLEASE DON’T STOP I NEED IT DESPERATELY! I love when you post where to eat and what kind of food because we I haven’t been in years and would be lost. I remember like I said this was like 16 years ago but there was a place called Pinocciho’s and they had awesome burgers and the BEST TO die for fountain rootbeer I have ever had in my life (is that still there) Have ya’ll ever been to Universal Studios? Also how do you feel about MGM, do you love it? Thanks and don’t quit!
you can tell I was typing that in a panic to make sure you did not stop your post because reading it back it sounds like I was drunk! haha!
HAHA! It is still there: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/diningdetail.cfm?Restaurant.ID=146
I read the training posts! I think they are very informative and educational especially regarding how to maneuver through the whole Disney experience. I hope there are others who feel the same way. That’s one of the reasons I read your blog, for Disney information. You’ve packed your blog with ideas on how to save money but you’ve also included ideas on how to save time and money at WDW!:) Please continue to include your training ideas!!
I am planning my family’s first-ever trip to Disney World this June. My husband & I take our 4 kids on a road trip each summer to a different location in the U.S. We have other activities and commitments scheduled that week but hope to take in 3 good days at WDW. Your “training” posts have been incredibly valuable to me! Since we only have a few days to play (and may not be back again in the near future), I want to make the most of every minute we have in The World. Thank you so much for passing along your veteran advice to this newbie!
Also, I’d love to hear just how you planned your days to not exceed a 10-minute wait for any attraction! Impressive!!
I always read your Disney posts. I actually look forward to them. All the information you have given me is super helpful and I hope to use it when we take our son on his first Disney trip! I would love to hear about how you never wait in line. That sounds incredible! And about the best things to do with a toddler. I hear mixed reviews from people who take toddlers to Disney, but I know my son would flip. Thank you for all the work you put in to the Disney posts! You are super appreciated!
Yes, I always read the training posts. We are going to Disney in May and so need any advice/help I can get. Saving money at Disney would be on the top of my list. We have decided to just do quick service meals and pay out of pocket.
I browse through some of your posts. I think that they are really informative. My family is going to Disney in 2-3 years and I’m trying t get a lot of info for that trip. A little early yes, but can you really ever be too early!? Our trip will probably be late summer early fall. I have heard about Mickey’s not so scary halloween party, but don’t really know anything about it and can’t find a good source for info. Do you know anything about it that could point me in the right direction? My daughter will be 5. Is it worth the price tag ( $50 per person)? Thanks for your awesome site!
We went to this in the fall and had a wonderful time. They close the park early(7:00 p.m.) but you can go in at 4:00 p.m. What we found is that everyone left between 5 and 6 so we had the park to ourselves virtually for an hour and a half. We did all the big rides that we wanted before all the Halloween activities started and then just enjoyed all the festivities. We also dressed up which was a lot of fun. A good source of info is Allears.net. Then have seasonal information and we got to see a video of parts of the parade before we left. The parade is a must see. It was one of the best I have ever seen at Disney. All in all it was worth it for us (I have two 12 year old and a ten year old). The decorations are also fabulous.
We will take out 3rd trip to WDW in Sept. We are going to Mickey’s Halloween party. wdwinfo.com has good info like last years program and maps. I will book our dining reservations on 3/22. The Halloween tickets have not been released so I am not sure of the dates of the party and I don’t want to book a dining res outside of the MK on a day when the party happens. If the WDW calendar shows the Magic Kingdom closing at 7pm is it safe to assume that this is the date for the Halloween Party? Help
I would think so but call and ask to see if they have any advice. The disney employees are usually very helpful. Hope that this helps. I don’t want to steer you wrong though.
I enjoy reading your disney posts. We went in the fall and the one thing that I found essential was an app for WDW dining. It includes the menu for every restaurant (both sit down and quick service) on the property, including all of the resorts. It gives where they are located as well like the Yak and Yeti in Asia in Animal Kingdom. That way my kids could see if there was something on that menu before we went there. It also helped me plan all of our sit down (we had free dining as the fall special offer) meals with menu that we enjoyed.
I read them! I am really wanting to take my girls soon and as a planner, I want plan it all out! Your posts are great and I love that I can know what to expect!
I love your Disney training posts! They are so extremely helpful! We leave next Saturday for Disney….celebrating our daughter’s 5th birthday at Magic Kingdom! Your recommendations for places to eat and fast passes have been really great as we plan. Thanks for taking the time to “train” us newbies!
We are leaving for disney May 7th. We are NOT doing the park hopper option. but my question is…. Ok we can do one park a day. Say we are at the Magic Kingdom for half the day, leave to go back to condo, and come back to Magic Kingdom that night. Can we do that since it is the same park the same day?
Yes you can come back to the same park. :)
YAY Thanks
I definitely read all your Disney posts! I’ve been there twice in the last two years and have agreed 100% with what you’ve suggested so I have to imagine that they are a HUGE amount of help to a new Disney visitor or someone who hasn’t been there for awhile! Now if only you did Disneyland too! We’re going there about the same time you’re going to Disney World. My hubby has a work conference and we each have our free day so I couldn’t pass up going for just the cost of my airfare, a few extra park days, and one or two extra hotel nights. He has an awesome per diem for food and I don’t eat a huge amount so should be a pretty cheap trip. We even get to stay at one of the Disney hotels during the conference!!!
Jaime, That sounds amazing!!!
I read some, just browse others. If this was last year, before we had our first baby, I would be reading them much more diligently, as last year, we were planning to go to a shuttle launch and do Disney on the side. We are still planning a shuttle launch, but with the baby, Disney will not be happening for a few more years. But I do still read them, as I’m sure much of the information will still be good in a few years. And I have every intention of coming back and reading them again when we do finally plan to go. Thanks for all the great information!
I absolutely read every word of your Disney planning posts . . . in fact, to me they are what makes your blog unique. Many of the “deal” bloggers post the same deals but your Disney information makes you valuable in a way those other blogs are not.
Don’t stop!!
I do read most of the posts you put on here and find them very helpful. Have fun on your trip!
I read all your Disney World training posts even though I’m not planning on taking my family until a year or 2 from now. I hope they’ll still be in your archives when I’m actually planning my trip, cause I know I’ll forget most of what I read. But I do read them and plan to continue to read them.
I read each one of your training post. We are going to Disney November 30th-December 6th this year and it will be our first time with a four year old…Definitely need help with wait times as four year olds are no fun to stand in line with…lol………any info you could share would be greatly appreciated….LOVE your blog!
This should be a great time of year to go. No crowds. Fast Pass everything you can. We have been twice, the children were 5 and 2 the 1st time and 3 and 6 the second. The second time we stopped and took a nap in the afternoon. It was really a much more enjoyable trip with the nap. Everyone was happier and we were able to enjoy the parks in the evening with the lights, parades, and fireworks.
I am not even going for a couple of years and I still read all of these posts. I use it to compare to when I went down (I see where I didn’t go/eat at that you did)…and how I waited in lines before but you don’t. I find it beneficial to compare and even to help prepare even though it’s two years away (I’ve been taking notes). Thanks.
I love to read all of your post, even if I don’t find that it pertains to me, I like having the info to pass along to others.
I read all the posts…your site is WONDERFUL. I was wanting to know, and I’m sorry if this is redundant to someone else’s comment, but we have our trip planned and booked for September, but are still waiting on whether or not they will have the free dining plan available? Do you know when they might announce that if they are going to have it during that time? Thanks
They have not announced any free dining yet for this fall. But I definitely am expecting it. I’m not sure when they announced it for last year.
I love to read your blog and see other ways to save time and money.
I, too, read ALL your posts including the Training ones. They are very insightful! I’ve been to Disney close to 10 times probably, a couple of times with older kiddos…but my Fiance and I are planning our first trip as a combined family next spring and our now 10 month old will be just shy of 24 months then…any tips you have on traveling/seeing the parks with younger kids is GREAT! Keep up the good work and have fun on your trip, you must be so excited, the time is almost here!!
I read each and every one!
I love reading these posts too! They are extremely helpful! I think what your doing has been great-tips and tricks for each of the parks. I’d like to know a little more about the shows, fireworks, parades-like where the best seat is, which ones are absolute do not miss, and times, etc!
Thanks!
I read them!
We cannot sing the praises of RideMax enough. My husband printed out three different schedules so that way if we got off on one (we had young kids who need potty breaks and naps and walk slower sometimes because they are tired). Ride Max allowed us to ride every single ride our first day AND WE WERE NOT RUSHED AT ALL! In fact, because some of the rides our kids really liked (and when we got done there was still no one in line, we would go again and again and sometimes yes AGAIN. LOL! We did not think we would have time to take in any shows because we wanted to make sure we got to ride all the rides, but getting them all in on the first day allowed us to get in some shows on the following two days as well as actually spend over an hour with Belle just my girls and her because no one else was there!! :D Even though we went at a not very crowded time, and Ride Max says you can do it without them during these times, there were times we saw lines completely empty and other times we saw lines way full with LONG waiting times. So it was totally worth it to us to have Ride Max. We are going to Disneyland later this year and plan on using it again.
I am planning on signing up with Ridemax for this trip. I already do Tour Guide Mike and Touringplans.com. :)
I try to read every single post you do except for the stores I don’t have around here.
I read EVERY post you make, but only comment on 1-2 a week…
I found your blog this week and subscribed because not only do I coupon my family is taking its first trip to Disney World this summer. We have a one year old and I haven’t been since I was 10 so I’m looking for help and advice planning our day. Thanks for your insight!
I really enjoy reading them, I will be going myself in just a few short months and I like to feel like I’m getting prepared. I do wonder if there is a place we can ask questions. Should we just post them in comments or email you directly.
Usually the best way to reach me is by email. I see it faster because I get an alert. I will also see your question in the comments though. :)
I read your Disney post, but for me it isn’t anything new. I don’t mean that in a negative way, it is just that my family goes every year. I just like to know what other people do when they go to Disney.
:P I love you too Leann! Maybe you can write a post for me. :)
I read and find them helpful. We are going in September :)
I read your posts about disney! We are not going until next september so its more than a year away so i will be re reading them as it gets closer!
I read them too. Sometimes several times. I’m a planner, and have been to Disneyworld, but always learn something new from you. My kids are reading them as well (10 and 12 yrs old). We’ve started a fund and hope to go within the year.
Awww that is awesome!
We’re not planning on going to Disney for at least another year – we’ve only been once before as a family – but I really enjoy reading those posts. I also know I’ll look back on them wen we start planning more seriously!
Yes I love your posts! Please continue!
I read everyone. I am a big Disney fan…..we go every year. (sometimes multiple times each year) So, I read anything Disney.
I did not know about the Disney training posts, I some how have missed them. But we are going this year with our Give a Day, Get a Day tickets and I will be checking these out for sure!!
I love your Disney Training posts. I am also the planner who doesn’t stand in line more than 10 minutes while I am there:) Please keep up the posts, every little bit helps (even if it is time consuming for you)
That’s awesome!! I don’t mind the post or how long it can take to write them, I just wasn’t sure how many people were finding them beneficial. Now I know. ;)
I learn SO much from your WDW Training posts, thank you for doing them!
Please keep writing!
I am planning a trip to Disneyland in April, and am going to read your posts in case anything can apply. Thank you for taking the time to help others out with their planning!
I read each one and I have athem all saved and have been sharing them with my sister too (not a blog reader)! They are informative and VERY much the way I “roll” in WDW!
Don’t stop! We are huge Disney fans (been 7 times in the last 9 years) and I’ve still learned stuff.
I always read your tips!!! and they are greatly appreciated!! I am going to Disney in October and I am a big planner and your posts are a big help. I am on here daily!!!! DON”T STOP PLEASE!!!
Heather,
If you are interested I have some great tips on places to watch the parades and illuminations at Epcot. I would be glad to share these with you if you want. Love reading your posts!
I love reading your training posts. I started reading your blog after my boyfriend and I went to disney last year. I had already known about allears and mousesavers, but I loved being able to read about you and your family saving to go to disney and all the knowledge you personally have. I just can’t get enough Disney! We’re planning on going back in a few years, for 10-14 days. A post I would like to see is what you plan on doing for the 10 days you’re there. We plan on checking out the resorts because we plan on going when the christmas decorations are up. But I’m worried that it could be too much time spent there too (if that’s even possible!) So a break-down of your plan would be great for us! Thanks so much!
Mary – The minute I have my plans worked out, I’ll be sure to post them. We went for 8 days last year and it was FABULOUS!
We were there for 14 days this winter. Ten days in the park, two at Kennedy Space Center (so cool!) and one day at a bowl game. We were ready to leave by the end of it but I think that was because we were there over the holidays (hubby insisted – he had fond childhood memories of the holidays at WDW). It was still an awesome time, just a lot of people!!! I definitely would try to go for as long as possible again next time!
I read each and every post and I consider them for our trip in Aug. I can ‘t wait until you get back and give us the recap of the trip and what really worked and what did not. Don’t stop. You are amazing.
I do read your posts. I am struck by how similar our touring plans/styles are, considering how few times you have been to Disney compared to the numerous times I have been. It is very impressive!
I would even suggest, after all of your posts have been written, spinning them off into their own Disney help/tip site. Having the information in one place would be great – and you can add to/take away as you learn and discover new things.
I definitely read them! My son and I are planning a trip in July. This is considered peak season and we definitely need tips on short lines. We went during spring break last year and some of the big rides at Hollywood Studios had 300 minute waits (Tower of Tower, toy Story)
We live 45 minutes from Orlando but your tips are great for us too!
Jealous!
i love reading them!
Don’t stop posting. I am planning to go in June. I have not had time to read them yet but when the date gets closer. I plan to use your site as a guide. I’m sure you’ll have more info when you return so am waiting for that info as well.
Love the training tips, thanks!
Please keep them up!
I LOVE YOUR POSTS!!!!! We are leaving for Disney in 24 days!!! Yay!!! Keep up the good work!!! I appreciate what you do for all of us!!!
We are going to Disney in December….I haven’t been in over 15 years & this will be the first trip for my daughters! Keep up with your tips…I need & enjoy reading them….soaking up all the info I can get!
I love the Disney training posts!!
I always read them. It is fun to match and compare what I have learned at Disney vs. what you know. I am the go to person for anything Disney to my friends and family and enjoy the posts.
I live in Florida and LOVE your Disney posts! I have a friend that has season passes and I love passing along the tidbits you share =)
read them!
I live nearby Disney and go there frequently. Even so, I find your Disney posts very informative and useful. I thought I knew Disney inside and out, but after reading your posts, I know very little compared to you! You make things so much more efficient.
Like some other posters have said, I would LOVE to know how you manage to get such short wait times. My average wait time, even with the fast passes, is always over 30+ minutes. I even go in the off peak season. Yikes! I usually spend more of my day waiting than anything else.
I love these posts hopefully one day I will get to go and I know your info will help lots. Thank you for everything you do.
I love your Disney posts. I read them all. Thanks for all of your hard work!!!
I follow you religiously on all of your posts. I may not post a comment because sometimes I don’t think you read them. They just take up space. I also don’t enter most of the giveaways because I never win and get discouraged so I just leave it be. But I always follow your posts. =0) I get so much information and insight from every single one.
Carla – I do read them. Sometimes I get behind and I read them later than I should. :-/
I appreciate you reading my blog! :D
Love your posts.
I LOVE you disney tips… our family of 6 went 2 years ago to Disney for a 6 day pass. Your tips are SO very valuable! We are leaving in less than 2 weeks to go to Disney- 1 day and since the kids are getting older we thought we’d try Universal and Islands of Adventure for a 7 day pass. PLEASE PLEASE if anyone has tips to share about Universal I would LOVE to hear them….. I will be in the Magic Kingdom in 12 days!! … at Universal in days 13-19!! Hopefully the weather is going to shape up in Florida now!
We did the same thing last year – one day Disney, one week universal. At the time, my kids were turning 14, 11 and 8 months. BIG age difference, but my little one was a trooper :)
To be perfectly honest, Universal was worth the money we spent ($99/person for the entire week), but no where near as nice/magical as Disney. I was nursing my infant and had a hard time finding employees to help me find discreet spots to nurse or who could point us in the direction of fresh fruit stands/healthier eating alternatives. Many of the employees did not speak English well (which is fine, but someone who does speak English should be available as well), which was frustrating as EVERY cast member at Disney speaks English as a mandatory rule. The rides were much more grown up (fun!) and my kids didn’t notice (but I did) that Universal wasn’t as clean as Disney. The patrons were also more families with older kids and sometimes less polite than Disney families (I am so not a snob and this post seems to be coming out that way – sorry, just trying to be honest!).
We had my 10 year-old and 6 year-old nieces with us and were always able to find a place to sit outside of a ride that someone wanted to skip. The lines were not long at all (with the exception of one day) and we went over Easter/Spring Break. We had a lot of opportunities for character pics – but be forewarned that some of the photo ops require you to purchase Universal’s photos (the characters aren’t nearly as free-roaming as Disney’s). Pizza was the meal of choice for my family on most days because it was the most reasonably priced, but I would not call it cheap on any level (it was okay as far as Florida pizza goes). Island of Adventure is more fun/Universal Studios is quieter. If they are doing the Mardi Gras Parade while you are there, get there early and check everything out – we had a lot of fun and got to see Trace Adkins perform for free (we’re not country fans, but he was really good).
We plan to go back to Disney next Feb. and my older boys are asking about Universal again (they want to go for Harry Potter). We’re debating, but quite honestly, I don’t care if we go again that soon. It was worth the money for the first time, but I prefer the pleasant, clean, magical Disney environment to the fast-paced, go-go-go feel of Universal.
Maybe someone can offer a counter opinion? I am a little Disney biased :)
I am reading the training post but am also hoping to be able to access in a year. We are in the beginning stages of planning a trip with my 5 kids and another family. Myself and older girls have been once and winged it. but with 2 under the age of 3 I want to be prepared !!
I read them, and reread them, we are going on an impromptu trip for 4 days in May, have to take advantage of 4 day pass and great hotel rates. Needing to do food on a MAJOR budget, but not feel anxiety over it! THhnks for all of your hard work, keep posting!
I read your post. I haven’t been to Disney in about 8 years and this time we are going with 15 people in all. I love being able to take the information I have learned and tell the other people we are going with. We are working on a day by day plan right now using your information.
I have never been to Disney but your site makes me believe that I could go on my pay check to paycheck budget!!! please do not stop
love them! Please keep posting.
I definitely read your training posts. We are planning our first trip to Disney World in the fall and are doing serious research to make sure we do it all right, don’t waste our time, and stick to our budget. Your posts are very helpful!
Thanks for sharing! Your effort and knowledge are greatly appreciated!!
I love the Disney post. It is really useful if you are planning a trip to Disney. We are not planning a trip to Disney, but I love Disney and we will be going again soon. I do think to make the most of your Disney vacation you need to plan ahead and have as much information as possible. In the past I bought several Guides books on Disney and I must say Kristen knows everything about Disney.I have read more about Disney from this website than the book I bought. Thanks for all of your hard work Kristen, and I hope you and your family have a great Disney vacation.
Awwwww. That’s awesome! You know I am a serious over planner. You should of SEEN how much stuff we took with us last year. It was like we were moving in. HAHA!
I do read them and look forward to them, as I told you in the email I sent you :) They keep me in the spirit and bring me back to the trips I have taken and help me keep motivated to save for our next one.
That said, I think some posts on the benefits of park hopping (and how to make it work best) or little known secret spots/thing to do would be a lot of fun. If you need help with either, I’m here!
I look forward to reading them.. We are planning to take our family next spring and I have already learned so much! Please don’t stop… You are doing such a great job!!!
Ilove te post they ae a nice “fun” post vs the work/deal posts (its hard work for me lol ) and because of youand your posts i now am going to try to go to disney in 3 yrs!
I love your “training” posts. My husband and I are headed to Disney the first week in May and already have a game plan but I love to read advice from others. You do a great job!
I read all of your posts and love them! I have referred so many friends to your site!!!! It is by far my favorite deals blog and Disney too!!!!
I’m in!
I read them every time you post them! I think they are wonderful addition to my disney knowledge!
I read tham and i’m not even going to disneyland this year. I have to go to my brothers wedding in VA insteast. (Sigh) Jk it will be fun too, but we had to cancel our disneyland trip because we can only afford one vacation a year and we live in Az. But i wanted to tell you about RIDEMAX. We used it last year and it was a lifesaver!
I read the training posts! We are headed to Disney in May too with a 4.5, 2.5, and 8 month old. Something I have had trouble figuring out from other places is how exactly it works with little kids. I know the height restrictions, etc, but how to physically get on a ride with infants and those under 3 and which rides to avoid, etc. would be interesting to me. Along those same lines, which parks to just plain skip, which to spend a few hours in and what to devote our time to. I saw your son just turned 3, so advice w/a 2-year old would be great!! :) Thanks!
There are so many rides and infant can ride on. I have been with a 22 month old and while pregnant and will be going with 17 month old. Most of Fantasy land is baby friendly for lap babies. Adventureland has Pirates and Jungle Cruise for lapbabies. Not sure about Buzz in Tomorrowland but the 2 year old should be fine. Epcot offers Living with the Land, The Seas with Nemo, and Malestrom. Hollywood Studios is not as baby friendly.
I LOVE all your Disney posts!!! I copy them and highlight everything I want to remember. They are going with me to Disney this summer! I know it is hard to do everything you do but PLEASE keep doing them because you are helping me so much!
I have also read your Disney posts. I typically don’t comment on them, because since I’m also a major Disney freak, I know alot of what you are blogging about already. But I still read them to see if you know something new. Your posts are great for the first time Disney goer. They have awesome information, and I can see where it takes you a long time to do it. And I can understand where it might seem like you are doing it for just one or two people, but remember if you reach one person that is one person who has a better Disney experience because of you. It’ s hard giving out Disney advice, it takes time and sometimes you put your heart and soul into it for someone to turn around not really understand what you put into it and not really take your advice. That happened to me with a friend that I spent hours talking and emailing her about Disney. And she took just a few suggestions and that was it. But hey I have to tell myself that at least she took a few suggestions. So keep up the good work. It sounds like from all the comments that you are reaching alot of people who need your help.
I like skimming them..I can’t say I read all of them and some I probalby read word for word. I think even experienced Disney goers can always learn something new from someone else..so I try to look at everything at least once
I love them! I really enjoy them as we love Disney and try to go every year!
We have not been to Disney yet but I have been wanting to go for about 6 years now. I would really like to go next year so I have been reading your post to get me prepared on the do’s and don’t's. Keep it up!!
I read them all! We’re making our 3rd family trip to Disney in September (and my son will only be 4). Thanks for all your tips.
I read the posts. We are going to Disney in May and June. My hubby and I have visited many times before, but this is the first visit for our son. He is turning 1 in April. We are very excited to take him to our favorite vacation spot. Any advice you can give on visiting Disney with little ones would be appreciated. We have never spent a lot of time in Fantasyland or the dinosaur area of Animal Kingdom. We are planning to skip Hollywood Studios – unless you know of lots of kid friendly things to do there.
I love your Training Posts. We’re going to Disney in May and are planning on visiting one of Disney’s water parks this trip. I would love to hear any tips on this.
I have read them all!!!
I read them!!! We are leaving for Disney on April 27th and i have been working on my plan of action!! You are an awesome resource!!! Thank you!!
Kristin,
I love your training posts. I am making my own folder on disney to use and I print a copy of the posts to put in my folder. They are very useful and we thank you for your hard work and dedication to keeping us informed.
Penny
I read the training posts! Well, I read every post on your site actually. I miss Disney. I need to start planning another trip. Guess I’ll have to wait till after summer since I don’t like all the crowds. Keep up all the great work! And thanks so much for everything you do!
I love all the cheaper food tips – we are going in June with 2 kids under the age of two – Lord help me – I have been there numerous – read lots of books – I LOVE YOUR INFO!
Kristin, I think you might have gathered this already but we the readers LOVE the training posts! I personally would like to hear more about the dining plans and doing WDW with a toddler- ours is 3 and it’s our first trip- seems like a lot of folks are in that boat and we love the info! Keep it coming!
I agree with everyone – keep posting! I enjoy reading everything and anything about Disney. I have two kids and we try to visit every two years, with a trip coming (hopefully) up this fall. In the two years time between our trips, alot can change, so I love reading what you post! Thanks!
I read them! I love anyone who is able to post anything about Disney World!!! I love learning new things about DW, and how to prepare a trip! One thing I would like to know more about is the different types of dining plans. We’ve used the basic dining plan before, but I’m wanting to know what the difference between the basic and the quick service dining plans. THANKS for all you do!
I read them, I think they are great!
I am a super Disney fan and so is my hubby. All of our family and friends turn to us for advice when planning their trips.
I have to say that I will be referring them to your posts as they are packed with great info.
Please continue posting them.
KEEP it up. I’m just starting to plan our trip.

I enjoy your posts. We are Disney Vacation Club Members and go to Disney often. It is nice to get someone else’s perspective. I love your money saving tips for the parks Keep up the good work and have a good trip.
I read every one of them! This is my first trip and we are taken my 2 yr old. We are so excited! Your blog is helping me SO much and one reason why we decided to go this year. We are going the first week in May.
I would like to see some tips on what to take with you in the park for kids. Or even ideas for eatting oustside of the park and saving money.
I’m very thankful for you answering all my emails and questions!
THANKS!!!!
I love reading your training posts. I actually look for them when I come to your site. By the way I love your site.
I LOVE reading your posts. Please don’t stop! We are leaving for Disney in 8 days and I’m counting the minutes!! This will be our 4th annual trip, and I still learn something new from your posts. Keep up the good work!
I love the posts! Please don’t stop, we try and go every other year, and I have learned so much from you of what we have done wrong!
I LOVE your Disney training posts! We’re not going to Disney for a year and a half, but I still read all your valuable information- please don’t stop :)
I love this series! I frequent the Disney parks regularly (living in Orlando) and have still learned lots from your posts. Please keep them coming. Post ideas – Have you posted about finding “Hidden Mickey’s”? My family has become obsessed with searching for them. I found a really obscure one at one of the resort bus stops that hadn’t been listed in any of the books yet. It is fun!
I am planning on taking our 3 month old there in Sept..I know, I hope we are not crazy!! Any tips for how to maneuver with such a young child? We will probably stay for 3 nights and do 2 parks. Def MK and maybe Epcot. Save the others for next time! Any infant suggestions for DW? Thanks Michelle!!
I love reading these posts. Our last trip to Disney was in September of 2007. The crowds were minimal and we had a blast. We hope to try to make a trip this fall for our middle child’s 5th birthday. Is November a good time to go?
I love your reading your Disney posts!! We went last October with small children and are going back in August. I am a planner and had everything organized for the first trip. I am enjoying your tips and making notes to use for our next trip. Can’t wait to read what you write next!!!
ME!! I’m reading them, and everything else you write. :)
We leave in 37 days!!! Yippee!! So excited.
And yes, I’ve been taking notes. Much appreciated.
I read all of your posts and especially look forward to the ones on Disney World. We just went 6 weeks ago and I used alot of your tips.
I love them we have a friend who works at disney so we will be going again soon and even with her expertise the blogs help so much more as far as planning and what to see and even eat. Thanks!
Kristin I am definitely reading them all….as often as I can! I love all the details and have started planning for our trip and will refer to your articles for help so keep ‘em coming :D
I’m reading & printing all of your Training posts and saving them for our 2011 trip! Keep up the good work.
I’ve been to WDW 9 times in the past 3 years so I already know a lot of the stuff you post but even I get something out of these posts! They are very informative and I enjoy reading them in hopes that I can pick up something new, and I have. Thank you for all your hard work! I love all your posts!!
