    NYE 2:40pm ADR lunch @ Le Cellier

    Just lucked into an ADR today after planning on just hitting up QS meals while being in Epcot all day for the festivities. My question is does anybody know if "regular menu" pricing will be during lunch or will it be the same additional cost as the dinner which upon looking online seems to be...

    2018 NBA Finals

    JR Smith, how did you not have any situational awareness at the end of regulation? Wow, boggles my mind. Officiating was quite rough in this game as well, and I am not a fan of either team but they sure seemed to swallow their whistles during stretches. GS got quite lucky IMO and Cleveland has...

    Annual Pass annoyance.

    I bought my first ever AP in Feb in anticipation of several trips starting with our 7 day trip the last week of June. Just this morning I realized one problem: My AP won't become active until I arrive which means no FP's. I am going to have to take a quick weekend trip the end of this month...

    BOG 8:15am ADR on May 4th question

    Ok, this is a question for my DW and her best friend. They are spending a week there at CBR and have this BOG ADR to get in to see the park before it opens and to try out BOG breakfast.

    Advanced degrees/certifications: hinderance or help?

    I am staring down early retirement and a move to the Orlando area in a few years. I am curious if getting on PT at one of the parks or resorts is it possible in Disney's eyes to be over qualified? I am planning on retiring with 25 years in NC as an agriculture teacher and my wife and I moving...

    Teaching in Osceola county

    Anybody here ever moved into the area to teach just to be close to WDW? House pricing in Celebration are very close to whereI live and if an Agriculture teaching position ever opened up I would be very tempted!

    DVC points rentals

    If I'm going for 5 days the last full week of June 2016 with six people, is it typically a smarter choice to just stay at an AoA's suite or am I close to the cost of a villa at say AKL? Trying to gauge value/experience on our next vacation. And how hard is it to link park tickets, rental DVC...

    Car brand loyalty.

    i admit I have a love affair with Mazda's. I have owned 6 in the past and have three in the driveway now. Such fantastic cars. Do any of you have a brand you are loyal to? In the picture are a 2014 Mazda 6, 2015 Mazda 3 and my toy a 1999 Mazda Miata. Two of the three manuals as well!

    Did we miss the crowds?

    For the most part I wonder with such an early easter this year if we have missed the "majority" of the spring break crowds on our trip next week (4/6 - 4/12). Whats everyone think?
