But surely this just emphasises an already existing underlying problem? Places shouldn't rely on tips to stay open. If they cannot afford to stay open on a self supporting business model then something somewhere else is seriously wrong! Whether that is something further down the scale such as...

I've been trying to book it for the last 2 days, right on the second it turns 11am uk time (when bookings are open) as yesterday was my 180 day mark, and absolutely no joy. The second it turns 11am, it just says there are no reservations available. I guess I will just have to keep trying and...

I absolutely agree. "When in Rome" and all that. Which is why I do tip when in America. Having said that, I do still also think it is rude that someone who provides a minimal service (at best) expects a tip and is prepared to be rude and even confrontational if they do not receive one. If the...

Thank you Nickys I wasn't sure if it would be that simple, so thank you for clearing this up. When we last went (about 3 years ago) it would only let us book for people on our family and friends I think and no 'extra guests' (unless my memory is incorrect). I'm pleased to hear this has been...

Yes, undercovertourist - Aug 2018 have it listed as closing at 6pm on the 17th and on the 21st? I wonder what is happening? Surely these can't be "ear" marked for MNSSHP that early in August? We're going to be there for the last 2 weeks in August and so I've been trying to plan around these...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me please? I've got a matter of a few days before I can start making my ADR's, and in total there are 14 of us going to WDW. Originally there was just 10 of us, and an extra 4 asked if they could come and meet us on a few days. So we decided it was going...

I too am English, and I think the confusion / problem comes from this sentence? In England it is considered arrogant and extremely rude to expect (assumed) to be given anything, and any tip is to be given at the complete choice and discretion of the diner and to be accepted with gratitude on the...

Thank you Tuvalu That is 2 so far for "sleep" It's hard to know what to do when your head says one thing, and your heart another :)

Hi Rebecca I haven't been at that time of year before. However on my last visit in Aug' 2015, it was my first visit as an adult and I had no idea either. What I did was use a crowd calendar to help with this. You can find a really good free one here...

Thank you for your input J_Krafty24. Luckily for us, the late EMH for Magic Kingdom are currently Wednesday, and it is cheaper to fly mid-week from the UK, so this does have that added benefit for us. Whether or not we fly on another mid-week-day wouldn't really make much difference in price...

Hi Guys and Girls. Me and the my family stayed on resort at Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa in mid Aug' 2015 for 14 nights. We live in the UK and this was the first time I had visited Disney as an adult. I had been twice previously. Once as a child and again as a teenager. Now in my mid 30's I...
