    Moving to FL - WDW benefits for residents

    So, I am a long time member here but not a frequent poster in the last several years. We just found out today, we are relocating to Jacksonville for work. Well, the first thing that comes to mind is, WHOA!, we can go to WDW more often. Can anyone point me in the direction of any tips for...

    At DL right now, just been profiled by security

    I felt harassed. What difference does it make what exact comments were made? They were not telling me to have a magical day. I was made to feel uncomfortable and that should not happen at Disney. That is my point. When I went through security the morning following my incident, I watched as...

    Stuck on Screamin (trip report-ish story)

    No offense meant, but after riding DL and WDW Splash, why would you even get on the DL version? There were missing characters and half lighted rooms. Also the boats were going so fast, I missed the things that were there. How long have these things been missing? It was as bad or worse than...

    Stuck on Screamin (trip report-ish story)

    So on the last day of our trip, we split up to get some things finished up before going home. I'm standing in line with dd to meet Elsa and Anna when I get a text from dh that they are stuck on top of the big hill at Screamin. Of course I thought, meh, good story for later until I got the same...

    At DL right now, just been profiled by security

    It was all men congregated there at the end of the night. There were several comments made back and forth by a couple of the men (boys really). I would never complain about a regular screening but this was different. In addition, the laughing in my face at the inconvenience of it was terribly...

    At DL right now, just been profiled by security

    I couldn't care less what someone says about me. I am more concerned with the message this is sending to my children, especially my daughter. Harassment is never ok.

    At DL right now, just been profiled by security

    Would you do this at the park? We have one more day and even though I don't want to go I refuse to let this completely ruin our vacation. My kids would be devastating if we don't go on our last day. I am not normally an over reactor so I appreciate your suggestions on how to address this...

    At DL right now, just been profiled by security

    I have been here on these boards for many years and while I am not a regular poster, I feel I know the Disney system pretty well. I realize this may sound completely crazy but I am certain Disney security is profiling plus size white women. I have been pulled aside twice now in less than 36...

    Traffic Warning: NAMM Convention In Town This Weekend!

    Hope you're on the plane on your way out here now! It was a super long day but we arrived on time and headed over for some chicken and waffles at Roscoe's for dinner. Headed out for the parks tomorrow morning. Woohoo!!

    Traffic Warning: NAMM Convention In Town This Weekend!

    Ooooh, us too, but a bit longer. Arriving Sunday afternoon, leaving Friday a.m. Assuming we can get to the airport and we don't have a delay/cancellation. Looking at about 8"+ of snow outside and Nashville is NOT good at coping with it all.

    Finally taking a trip to Disneyland

    This is exactly our family. 2013 was our last WDW trip for a list of reasons. Hubby and I went out to DLR last Jan for our anniversary and fell in love with it. We are leaving in 11 days to take our two youngest kids and grandma. I agree, the pace is SO enjoyable and the crowds are friendlier.

    Other possible closings Jan 2016

    Spring really is a good time to visit before the heat and humidity set in. Nashville is changing so much, I like progress but don't want to lose our home town feel. Hope you make it out this way.

    Other possible closings Jan 2016

    Right now I am very seriously considering pulling the plug on our first family trip to DL. DH and I were there Jan 2015 for our anniversary and fell in love with the pace and character of DL/DCA. We had always gone to WDW until our not so magical last trip in Sept 2013 and will not go back to...

    How to deal with our trip empty nest style.

    Not empty nesters but we have taken three WDW trips and one DL trip without our kids over the last ten years. The kids range from 4 to 17 and yes it feels weird without them but it is so much fun. Just make sure you include some things that you would consider fun without your daughter. Walk...

    Manifest Destiny: A Lifetime Walt Disney World Fan's First Trip To Disneyland

    @Mike S, we certainly have similar thoughts on everything you posted. The Swings for us might have been the cherry on top because DH and I both have fond memories of riding The Tennessee Waltz at Opryland in Nashville as kids. It is the same ride; however, it was not built on a platform so the...

    Radiator Springs Racers

    We decided to hit the single rider line for our first ride (just the two of us) and ended up getting to ride together. Can't beat that for a five minute wait on your first trip to DCA.

    Manifest Destiny: A Lifetime Walt Disney World Fan's First Trip To Disneyland

    Carsland blew me away....truly amazing. Wait until you see it at night! Makes me sad we won't get it in FL. I am following your posts to see if we share the same first timer opinions on rides.

    Manifest Destiny: A Lifetime Walt Disney World Fan's First Trip To Disneyland

    We returned from our first visit to DL a week ago and while others have pointed out so many great things about the California parks, the one thing they failed to mention...the folks visiting from other countries were VERY pleasant. No South Americans mowed us down with a stroller and none of...

    Derby or Seas

    Never had anything but really outstanding food at the Derby. Hard to even consider the Reef.
