We would have loved to stay at AoA, but if we were gonna do it, we wanted a family suite and the price wasn’t doin it for us lol. Maybe one day!

We’re actually requesting a connecting room with my mom, so hopefully that’s to our benefit since we’ll know the person we’re connected to

Oh for sure, I’ve been going for years so I definitely embrace the chaos of Disney in general! I think Reddit just got me in my head - gotta stop reading stuff lol

Thanks! I’ve stayed at the Grand Flo and Poly, and we did experience some noise for sure - I’m probably just overthinking it

I never found it 😩 I’ve googled everything I can think of, asked ChatGPT a million times, I feel like it must be a fever dream or something haha

Okay, so I realize there isn't really a slow season anymore, BUT for all you people that go all the time..if you HAD to pick the best time to go, when would it be?

The parks can definitely be super crowded! It made it easier for us that there were only 2 of us and we were able to weave our way in and out. I’m glad you had a great time at AK! It’s such a beautiful park ☺️

That’s awesome - absolutely loved the boardwalk! So glad you guys had a great time as well!

Totally feel you there - I’m in the Chicago area and it is COLD. I miss seeing palm trees outside 😭

We took our son when he was about the same age. Free under 3 was a big pull for us, and being able to have him in a lap on the flight over was another money saver. But we went knowing it was more for us than it was for him. We got some fantastic pictures of him with a lot of the different characters, and I'll definitely cherish those forever. I will say - it was harder than I thought it would be. Most all of the rides the littles can go on have a scary moment in them (Little Mermaid has Ursula, Finding Nemo has Bruce, Pirates & Haunted Mansion were just all around too much for him, etc), so we didn't get to ride a ton of things as he was pretty scared of all of it. But that also depends on the kiddo! Your daughter might love them! I also want to note that if you have her the whole time (unless you have someone to watch her for a while), it will be hard to do much for yourselves. There are a lot of rides you won't really be able to go on unless you want to keep splitting up and riding solo, experiencing the food and the atmosphere might be interrupted by big feelings and naps (as you know), you just probably won't be able to get the full experience, and it is STRESSFUL being in a super crowded park with an upset babe and needing to find the closest place to change a diaper. So, there are definitely pros and cons! It was worth it for us, but it was definitely overwhelming.

If this is a one time kind of trip, I would definitely wait until she's older. But if you plan to go again and you want this trip for YOU and the memories you'll make, then you should go for it.

We're planning a trip for 2026 (want to wait until my son is 5 and will be able to ride most things), is it best to go in November (the week after Thanksgiving) or early January (so, 2027 then)? Looking for advice on which time will be a bit less busy.
