    MyMagic+ does not recognize some reservations

    Hey everyone, As the title suggest, some dining reservations are not currently recognized by the website. Victoria and Albert's won't pull up and neither will anything at Aulani. Based on this, I would also assume that any special events for Food and Wine will not show up either...

    So my annual passes expire in about two months and I got a postcard today citing an additional $40 off (on top of the DVC discount) if renewed before the expiration date. It did not indicate if it was for each annual pass in our family or just the person the DVC contract is under (my wife)...

    Food for Thoughts: Jakeman's dining adventure (September 30-October 9)

    So this is probably going to be a fairly long food report (sadly no pictures). We stayed for 10 days and it was our first time with a kid in tow (our newly adopted 11, sometimes 9 year-old :lookaroun, son). Overall, there were highs and lows in some unexpected places. We ate so much I felt...

    Jakeman's first trip to Disney with a kid (pre- and post-trip report)

    So I figured I would throw my hat in the ring with this trip report business since it is Friday and I don't want to update our budget projections at work. First I think a little background is in order. I met my wife working at Kilimanjaro Safaris summer of 1999. We worked there in the summers...

    Google and other search engines popping up once you click on "Discussion Forum"

    Hey Steve, I've noticed the above happening recently when I access the forums. At first I thought it was me even though I run multiple virus scans on my PCs, but it just happened on my iPad and also my iPhone. Is this intentional or is it truly just me? Thanks!

    My newly adopted son watches toxic amounts of Zack and Cody on Disney XD and was wondering if there was any place that had some specific merchandise relating to it. In my past trips I've never had to look for it before, so I was wondering if there were any locations on property (I would...

    Dining at OKW

    Hey everyone, Just a quick review about dining at OKW, specifically Olivia's. Overall the place is just average. I don't think I would ever go out of my way to eat there. They had a wonderful soup of the day, buffalo chicken. It was great. That was about the only "great" spot of the...

    Food, Wine, Buses, and Tiles...

    Hello everyone, I am back from the Race for the Taste 10k with a few tidbits from the World. Resorts Kindani Village is getting new(?) bus stops. It was hard to tell if they were expanding what was there, or building new ones. Sanaa was great as usual. I did notice a Club Sandwhich...
