Well we have returned to reality (sadly) and have an amazing assortment of memories that I will cherish forever. As a reminder, the wife and I planned a surprise for our 3 children (5, 2 and 6 months) from Santa. We guided them into putting Disney on the brain and their letters to santa...

Salutations! I want to make sure that I take my family to all the best holiday decorations on our christmas trip. What are some must see decorations? I've never been during the holidays, so my #1 priority is the Osbourne Lights. (My 2 year old son has recently become obsessed with "Issmas...

I'm starting to take a gander at the menus for my trip and noticed that Kona Cafe has ... Pan-seared Duck Breast served with Mung, Adzuki, and Cranberry Beans with Chorizo Sausage and Spinach in a Tamarind Gastrique Now, I understand like 1/2 of those words... but pan-seared duck breast...

As we approach our trip (20 days!), I'm starting to focus on smaller details for the surprise. My children and I have written our letters to santa, including my letter that says I would really like some time away from work to spend more time with my 3 wonderful children. We have 3 suitcases...

Salutations! My dinner reservations on 12/25 are at 5:30pm, for 9 guests at Be Our Guest. The Very Merry Christmas Shindig starts at 7 and we are not attending. I called Disney Dining to ask about our reservation and the response I got was "as long as you're out of the park by 7 you should...

Good Afternoon, I could swear when I purchased the Deluxe Dining Plan that I read that your meal comes with an appetizer and a desert (assuming table service). Am I just crazy and making that up... or is that correct?

Salutations! In 61 days we will be back at the world... and thus far, our children have no idea we are going for Christmas. We will be in Orlando on Christmas Eve at my In-Laws house and plan to have the big reveal from Santa Christmas morning (kids are 5, 2 and 6 months). The wife and I...

Good Day! I just got off the phone with Disney Dining making my reservations for our Christmas Trip and the CM said that they had a meeting about it this morning as -everyone- is asking for Be Our Guest and that the projected reservation opening is August.

Day 1 - Today we headed out to Magic Kingdom to brave the crowds of Memorial Day weekend. As previously mentioned, we surprised my 5 year old, Mackenzie, for her recent graduation from pre-school. Frivolous... sure... but if we can do it... why not? First thing... it was incredibly hot...

Brandon, You made my daughter feel like the most important person in the world today. You noticed her celebrating button saying she graduated pre-school and proceeded to lavish her with praise. You invited her up to steer the boat and got the whole boat to acknowledge her accomplishment not...

So, my 5 year old just had her Pre-School graduation. As we were leaving, she was so upset that she wasnt getting presents and flowers like the other kids (I chose not to bring presents so no kid felt left out... ironic, eh?) So I just called her (well, called my wife's phone and spoke with...

Okay, as previously stated I'm planning a trip to surprise my kids for Christmas. It was the wife's idea and we've been formulating and budgeting since February. Here's my conundrum... How can I surprise the Wife for Christmas when she's in charge of the budget for the trip and manages...

Hello, As I understand it, if I have 4 day/3 night stay... my dining plan only covers 3 of the "days"... How does the timing on that work? if I arrive on Tuesday and leave on Friday, do I just get a bank of credits to use between the 4 days or do they have to be used on specific days?

Long time no see, disney brothers and sisters. The wife and I are expecting baby #3 in June and have to give her the proper introduction to the world. Our Plan: On Christmas Eve we will drive down to my In Laws house in Orlando to stay overnight. Christmas morning the kids will get their...

Salutations! This past weekend we loaded up the SUV and drove down to Orlando for another weekend visit to the World. Annual passes really make it easy to convince the wife to let me make these kind of trips :p We started out on Saturday the 23rd, woke up early to take my daughter to her...

We are heading down to F&W tomorrow as a nice date night before MNSSHP on Sunday... and I wanted to get some opinions on some items that are winners and those that kind of fall flat (either in taste or value).. Right now I've got my eye on that Waffle from Belgium... :p

(I apologize if this has already been discussed to death, I did a search and didn't see anything that popped out at me) So, I wanted to find out what you are going (or went) as for the halloween party! I love halloween and I especially love good or creative costuming. We are heading to the...

Salutations! :wave: This past weekend we loaded up the SUV and went down to Orlando to meet with my parents and my wife's parents to make a special trip to the Kingdom. The caveat? We had a 1 month old with us. <pause for dramatic gasping and people questioning me as a parent> You know...

Okay, so we're staying off site, have our annual passes so parking is free... but I need help. Monday I have breakfast reservations at 9:30 at Kouzzina on the boardwalk... then we are planning on going to DHS. What's the optimal parking/transportation situation? Should I park at DHS and then...

I'm headin' to Kouzzina for Breakfast monday morning. The menu looks fantastic... the prices seem reasonable.. We're going the same reason everyone else does... its Cat Cora... and we've seen her on iron chef! (a lame reason... but a reason nonethless) I've read the few reviews on this...
