There's some great tips in here! The MDE app in your phone is critical for last minute anythings. I have stood two people back from the hostess stand at San Angel and booked a reservation for 15 minutes from the current time while they were turning away everyone because they were booked.

Do you ever get to go to the parks and just wander & enjoy? Lol

So- I noticed some big differences here in CS mentions. Wondering how much this is influenced by traveling with your horde.

Hah, what is this ‘wander’ you speak of ( ... )

I have learned much from you about WDW over the years. We are pretty good at it now, but I find your insights fascinating especially since your kids are older than mine and I get great ideas from how you do it for future visits ( ... )

Oh, I can remember when every trip to Magic Kingdom started off with the quick-march down Main Street to get to Dumbo ASAP. I was so happy when we finally outgrew that (though they still want to ride it if they're there late and there's no line), but it really threw my routine for a loop!

I am really looking forward to the Harry Potter stuff--my sister-in-law is not into the crazy rides, so she has already said she'd be happy to spend all day in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley with me while the boys and my brother go turn themselves upside down.

When you were there last April, did you buy the Universal Express Pass? I can't decide if we should do that or not--it's not actually Easter week when we're down, but it is spring break so I'm not sure if it would be worth it.

We didn't do the Universal Express pass when we were there. I might consider it when both kids are older and want to ride more big rides. Charlie ride Flight of the Hippogriff a few times (we stood in the line and it was not too bad); Marty and Alex waited in a long line for the ride in the castle and rode it once; Alex was a bit freaked out and didn't want to do it again so I didn't ride it. We were able to walk onto that twin dragon coaster a few times with a minimal wait early in the day. I would say for us, especially if we were doing both parks in one day at that time of year again, I would give the express pass serious consideration. Or maybe next time we would just plan to spend two days.
