Choosing Restaurants for ADRs: An Update

I have an exciting update to share with you about my October 2018 trip. I shared back in March that my family and I were discussing which restaurants we wanted to choose for our Advanced Dining Reservations, or ADRs. With so many options, from character dining to buffets to signature dining, choosing restaurants can be one of the more stressful parts of planning your trip. This is one of the many reasons why I love working with my MousePros agent. She is a fantastic resource.

Using FastPass+ to Save Time

One of the questions I am most often asked by friends and family about Walt Disney World® is how we handle the lines for rides and character greetings with two often impatient kids. My answer? FastPass+! It is a Walt Disney World® guest's best friend. FastPass+ is a free service that is included with the price of admission to all Walt Disney World® theme parks. Each park offers a list of popular attractions that are able to be "reserved" in one-hour increments using FastPass+
