Please add me! Would love to see America Sings return, sad my kids will never see it.
I would bring back Walt Disney. - BalooTBear  904.4 #97 3:28PM
He was a ride? 😳 Just kidding, I know what you mean...and brilliant idea! - NotNKansasAnymor  177.3 #1902 3:42PM
She did not say ride. But maybe that was implied. - BalooTBear  904.4 #97 4:21PM
It can be anything. Your choice. (Mom said so, her RAK, her rules.) - wickedlyraven.   280.6 #731 4:30PM
A win by default. Best answer. Please add me for CMBaloo. I would copy his answer and bring back Walt and ask if he would please fix the Skyway. Thank you for your generosity and kindness. - GrumpyPirateDad  503.1 #237 8:36PM
Great answer!!! - VanDisney  342.0 #427 8:44PM
Okay, one of the BEST RAK'S ever! Please add me! I would bring back the people-mover...AND I would bring back the politically incorrect pirates chasing the women on POTC! - DisneyDavidEMT  453.2 #272 3:32PM
^^Yes! Politically incorrect, but historically accurate! Why do we hide our children from the truth?! LOL πŸ˜‰ - NotNKansasAnymor  177.3 #1902 3:40PM

If you have an iPhone I recommend downloading the Nike + running app. It keeps track of your progress, talks to while your running, gives words of encouragement, and you can keep track of friends to monitor their progress and compete with them. I think it's a well put together app, and can help provide the motivation you're seeking.
Why can't they do a "Zumba dance with Disney" or something like that? I'm also NOT a runner so I admire all of you runners out there! - MissAmericaSings  280.1 #735 11:14AM
Right? Or maybe we can just walk really fast ;) - ElectricMayhemMom  312.3 #549 12:05PM
True...I like how you think ;) - MissAmericaSings  280.1 #735 12:12PM
Yes! Yoga with Eeyore. - BettyPoop  232.0 #1218 4:07PM
That's an idea... Dance your way around the park.... No running rquired - dimplesdanie  607.5 #180 5:46PM
that would be so awesome. I would live to do some zumba with disney. - cinderella85rivas  190.5 #1744 6:18PM
I know how you all feel. Running is the 1 thing I refuse to do. But I did just get to zumba and I'm really excited about it! - Poisen_Ivy  258.6 #924 10:03AM
Count us in! Me and my mini (18) are going to run! It's our first, and we started training in earnest this past week. We are so excited, but we are also sure that plenty of pixie dust and encouragement will be needed! Let's do this! - mrstoad  240.4 #1114 11:27AM
Yeah!! I signed my minis up for the kids run! We can do this!πŸ‘ - RCmom  2595.2 #21 11:30AM

For those MWers who wanted to sign up for the half marathon or 10k....you can still sign up through get travel. I was able to get a spot in the 5k for my boyfriend after it was sold out through run disney. - SBsnowwhite  252.1 #997 5:58PM

Can't speak for 1/2-1/5, but 1/1 has always been really nice in comparison to the days preceding. I speculate this is due to Rose Parade, college football, and hangovers. Regardless, enjoy your visit.
It will be crowded for sure! kids are still out of school but I'm sure you will find something you can enjoy. 😊 - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1803.1 #42 6:18PM

Amazing and generous RAK. Please add me. One of my favorite and liberating memories was taking my 3 girls to Disneyland during Christmas time by myself when they were 8, 2, and 1. I had separated from my husband (for reasons I won't say in our positive Disney culture) but to know I could provide this trip for them on my own and do it on my own and we all had such an amazing time, was just liberating. - TamiLovesDisney  125.3 #2646 9:25PM

I'm not 100% certain but if he doesn't need a ticket then I doubt he needs a fastpass.

As all AP holders only get one shot for early entry at each park, the deeper into summer you can wait the better. We went on the first day (19th) and it was already nuts at 7am. You should be good in July, most local APers will have most likely already used their DCA early entry.
I went today the wait for Stand By Radiator Spring Racers was a 45 min wait for single rider it was less than 10 min wait. All other attractions were pretty much walk on's or 10 min wait.  - Cherry91  433.9 #289 2:31PM

it's amazing to me how two people can have two different experiences for the same event. I went on the first day too and had a great time. I hope that even though it was nuts you and your group still had fun? - howdyhowdyhowdy  45.9 #3843 2:36AM
Thank you for all of the great information! I really had no idea what to expect so it's great to get all of you perspectives! We'll be walking from our hotel so we'll miss the DTD mess, so that's good!
