Hi all, My family has been to WDW twice, in 2014 and 2015. We were considering vacation destinations this year, and one idea that came up, due to a potentially good deal on flights, was visiting Disneyland and DCA. However, with all the closures at Disneyland due to Star Wars Land...

I was glad I ended up listening to that game instead of watching. It was tough enough just to listen. Hopefully they get their act together because I agree, the next two are definitely going to have a huge impact on the Packers playoff prospects.

Lovely, thanks for sharing!

The weather is turning cooler, which means December is on its way! Today, we are one day closer to Disney than we were yesterday. :-)

Not sure if the show has changed, but in our first visit last year, we had a great time. The food is served family style and they will bring more if you like. The food was really good so we did! The kids (6 & 10 at the time) really liked the show, as did my wife and I. I especially...

Ioticed this also, looking for a weekend in October, but the website shows most resorts are unavailable. I do think it has to do with the website automatically selecting whatever discount is available.

Same here. But so happy to turn that corner. Too bad time doesn't start passing faster though!

Trying to stay fairly recent but think a bit outside the box, I'd choose Anton Ego. Fix-It Felix also comes to mind. And going back to childhood, hoping to see Scrooge McDuck during MVMCP but how about Flintheart Glomgold to go with him? And DW picks Dumbo.

I go with yay on this one. I liked the atmosphere, seeing the fish in the giant tank was neat, had a great server, and my steak was cooked perfectly. I ordered steak because eating seafood with fish swimming right nearby seemed wrong, somehow, and I prefer steak to seafood anyhow.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone. I think we will really enjoy POFQ. I think Pop would have been fun, but not comfortable. We stayed at Coronado last year, and that was comfortable, but not overly exciting in theme (to us) and I hated walking what seemed like forever to get coffee! Sounds...

I was a bit concerned about space with myself, DW, and our two kids ages 11 & 7 all fitting comfortably in a double room at Pop. We don't spend a lot of time at the resort, so we figured it would work ok. I think my kids have each grown a foot since we booked the trip, which made me think we...

This is exactly how I was about my family's first WDW trip, last year. I told my wife I was just along for the ride and to plan whatever she thought we all would enjoy. I changed my tune for this year's trip! So, don't feel like it is disinterest, perhaps he's just like I was and didn't realize...

Booked Minnie's Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine + Fantasmic seating package this morning! December draws closer ever so slowly... :-)

We did this last year. We checked out late, went to Downtown Disney, picked up a few last minute souvenirs, and had lunch. Then, after doing some more browsing around, about an hour or so before ME was scheduled to pick us up, we took the bus back to the resort. You could also take a bus or...
