    Do you take your kids out of school?

    Most trips to Disneyworld are planned too far in advance, so maybe the trip is used as motivation to do well in school. However I can't see a parent pulling the plug on a trip a month or two before if their child isn't doing well in school, not when flights and room deposits are paid for...

    Too crowded!!

    Two years ago I saw a lady in scooter drive off the bus ramp so fast that when she turned her wheel the scooter began to tip over. Just as I thought I was going to witness a rollover yard sale, the lady quickly stuck out her leg, muscled the scooter up right, hopped back on and drove off...

    Southwest vacations- has anyone ever booked a room and flight through them?

    We have booked through southwest a few times with no issues, usually room only on site or room with a rental car to visit family after our stay. I always book our flights first then start doing my homework on rooms, etc. Last year the prices for where we wanted to stay weren't competitive with...

    Have we lost the meaning of anticipation and excitement?

    I remember going to disneyworld soon after Expedition Everest first opened, not knowing what the ride was all about, and then watching the hotel channel in our room the first day and seeing that it went backwards. I admit, I was a little bummed out, but didn't tell my family. I need to grow up!

    Maybe if you just answered the question without the comment it would have saved some replies. Oops, sorry for the comment.

    Trip is closing in, what should I do?

    If you are having the basket delivered be sure to follow up ahead of time about delivery. I ordered a tote for valentines day and assumed from the email advertisement it would show up in our room at check in. It didn't, and I completely forgot about it until we got back from the parks the next...

    Do all WDW Resorts now scan your KTTW cards/MagicBands with a RFID scanner when you return?

    Lifeguards do not monitor magic bands nor do they check anyone. At BC cast members were stationed at all entrances to the pool and scanning everyone. If the word is out that they check mb it will deter guests from making the effort to pool hop. I like it.

    Family of 4 w/2 kids first time on site not sure what resort

    If you hit the parks first thing in the morning here's some feedback. Not sure if boardwalk gets picked up first, then YC, BC. At 7:30 am my son and I had to stand, but the rest of my family got seats. That doesn't matter to me. We went February vacation week and we always got on an open bus...

    Family of 4 w/2 kids first time on site not sure what resort

    YC is picked up first, BC next, then straight to MK. Once you're on the bus 15-20 minutes? AK is a direct trip too. Downtown a couple stops between. I always take the bus to MK. Coming back we will take the monorail or ferry to TC, then monorail to epcot and walk from there, stopping for a ride...

    Family of 4 w/2 kids first time on site not sure what resort

    Stayed at BC 2013,2014, YC 2010. Noise never a problem. The rooms next to us never complained about my wife. JK. I've never slept better things were so quiet. Thank God for the wakeup call.

    Just returned observations

    Your vacation experience is going to depend on the type of person you are and how you set your expectations, so make your expectations realistic. Only you can make your trip substandard! To start, the times I've gone to Disney World I'm just happy to be away on vacation with my family and am...

    Just returned observations

    I agree. They're either lazy or feel entitled. The only cleanliness issues I saw were things left behind poolside by guests; towels, cups, trash. What is the problem with taking care of your own mess when you're finished? The parks have a trash barrel every thirty steps so why do people feel...

    Dining with an Imagineer

    Does anyone have any feedback on the dining with an imagineer? I saw this as a Disney experience and was wondering if it was insightful into the different aspects of their careers, or if it was simply a question and answer session. My daughter is trying to decide whether to go the math and...

    Pre-Trip The I'm totally skipping my commencement ceremony and going to Disney instead PTR/Semi-live TR

    I know I'm chiming in a little late, but since this is a site of opinions I wanted to give you mine. I think you should go to your commencement, after all you worked really hard for your degree and you deserve the recognition and closure of that chapter in your life. Better yet, leave the next...

    Do all WDW Resorts now scan your KTTW cards/MagicBands with a RFID scanner when you return?

    In February I was taking a mears shuttle taxi from AK back to BC and the attendant needed to scan our magic band.
