    Free Dining Plan promo blackout dates

    I understand that if a free Dining Plan promo is announced, the first day of your trip has to fall within the dates of the promo. How do blackout dates apply to this? For example: If the first day of my trip falls within the promo dates (not a blackout date), but part of my trip (after day 1)...

    Need suggestions for traveling with larger party

    I'm a seasoned WDW visitor, but my trips have always been just me, my husband, and our children. I'm looking into a future trip with my now adult children, which will include myself, husband, 2 adult children and their significant others (6 adults total). I'll be looking at all options...

    Tony's Seasonal Ravioli

    When we went to Tony's in the Fall, my daughter had the "Seasonal" Ravioli, which was a pumpkin ravioli, which I'm guessing was because it was the Fall season. (?) She loved it! We are thinking about making ADR's here for our upcoming December trip. Does anyone know if the Pumpkin Ravioli dish...

    Coronado Springs

    Our trip last year was our first time actually staying on property and we chose CSR. We loved it so much that when we started planning this year's trip, I couldn't convince anyone in my family to try a different resort and we are booked again. I liked how quiet the resort was and although I'm a...

    MVMCP...opinion please?

    See...this is exactly my reasoning. I agree with this statement 100%, which is why I was struggling with the decision. I have decided to let my cheapskate tendencies slide just this one time, and I went ahead and ordered tickets for Dec. 2nd. I'm pretty sure this will be the one and only time...

    Your spot to stop and reflect "I just love WDW"

    I have 2. Of course it's that first moment when you have your first straight on view of the Castle from the beginning of Main Street. I get teary eyed when I see it on the first day of my trip, and teary eyed when I give that last look behind me on the last day in the park. My second one, is in...

    MVMCP...opinion please?

    We have never been to WDW during the Christmas season, as we always travel there in the Fall. We are going for the first time this year, during the first week in December. I'm very undecided about getting tickets for MVMCP. Would love to experience this, as it would be a first for us, but having...

    Taping of Christmas Parade & Impacts on Crowds

    We always visit in the Fall, so we have never experienced WDW during the Christmas time period. We will be there the first week of December and I'm curious to know how the taping of the parade during that first weekend impacts the crowd levels at Magic Kingdom. First off, I was wondering if the...

    Pop Warner FD Blackout dates...help me understand

    So........is there anyone who knows if the FD blackout is historically just the week of Pop Warner or the week prior AND the week of the event (2 weeks)? I can find all kinds of listings as to dates of historical offers, but no references to the black out dates. Can anyone provide me with any...

    Pop Warner FD Blackout dates...help me understand

    A 20% room discount for CSR would only be about $335.00. I've crunched the numbers and for a family of 4, all eating as adults, free dining is much more beneficial for us. We would spend that much alone in a just a few TS meals.

    Pop Warner FD Blackout dates...help me understand

    From what I can see, Pop Warner week is 12/06 - 12/13 this year. I was planning on booking a vacation either the 1st or 2nd week of December with the hopes of a FD offer. I wasn't aware until today that even if FD is offered, it is blacked out for Pop Warner week. My original plan was to book a...

    Thanks for the advice.

    Still Issuing KttW Cards Upon Request?

    How does this work if you request your bands in advance? We are a family of four...all of us prefer the bands, but one wants the card. Do we just request 3 of the bands in advance, or do we request 4 and then just exchange when we check into our resort?

    Pop Century or Coranado Springs?

    I see that you already made your choice, but just wanted to add my thoughts. On our last trip, we were definitely on a strict budget, so I really was torn between a value to save money or a moderate for a more "luxurious" stay. For the amount of money we would be saving, it just didn't seem...

    Coronado Springs Best Section?

    CSR is a such a beautiful resort, and not as huge as everyone makes it out to be. We stayed in Ranchos, and the walk to El Centro really isn't that far...and the theming on that walk is beautiful! If we had stayed at Cabanas or Casitas, we probably wouldn't have bothered to see the rest of the...

    Disney Visa - 10% discount on select merchandise

    Thanks everyone for your input. It sounds like the way to go is to actually bring my card to the parks and assume I will have to ask for the discount every time I spend over $50.00, rather than just bill to my room and pay at the end. Less convenience then I was hoping for, but worth it for the...

    Yuck...that's kind of inconvenient.

    Disney Visa - 10% discount on select merchandise

    I'm a fairly new Disney Visa cardholder, and haven't yet visited the parks since I've acquired it. I understand the whole "rewards" part of the program, but I have a question about the "10% off select merchandise" perk. The info says "Receive 10% off on select merchandise purchases of $50 or...

    Very disappointed with Photopass Plus

    I pre-ordered my Photopass Plus package months before our trip, & I was very excited to use it. The excitement started to dwindle when we were actually on our trip. We made it a point to look for all of the Photopass photographers to try to get as many photos as we could, and there simply wasn't...
