    Can't book at California Grill on December 2, 2015

    Do keep trying. Disney has a 24 hour cancellation policy or there is a $10 per person charge if not cancelled by 11:59 pm the previous day. Since there is no reason to keep a reservation you won't use and the possibility of forgetting it and getting popped many people cancel. Good luck

    What is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner?

    I've been on a few websites and see some that say they are "Authorized Disney Vacation Planners" What does that mean? Do they get better deals? Can they get you free upgrades? I used an agency a few years ago that did a great job and saved us money and really helped us plan a great vacation...

    Other activities beyond the rides!!!

    Buying Tickets Early vs Package Deal Later

    Actually we have a great way to save money and also teach children to sacrifice and save, When we plan a Disney trip we get a small cardboard box and the whole family decorates it. So if we go out to eat instead of me buying a beer for dinner I'd have a glass of water. We normally have...

    Just joined the AOA with free dining club!

    You have to keep trying as anything can happen. Same with me when I booked a guest a POR in the Royal rooms I was told no discounts. I kept on trying and asking and 6 weeks ago I was able to get her a discount. Just keep at it.

    Park Hopper vs Extra Days??

    Just keep in mind there are certain events like fireworks like at MK that may not be scheduled. June should start seeing later hours and a better schedule so you should be OK. Always check schedules when you arrive to make sure you don't miss out any any special appearance at HS. 8 days...

    Helping a friend plan a trip to the World

    I remember I started helping friend and family plan and that was 17 years ago LOL! OK first thing is to establish where and how. Work out a budget he will be comfortable with and use that to start. Air is normally cheaper midweek so if he is flexible that will save money. Usually people...

    Need trip planning advice: Easter is early in 2012

    We are spoiled and always went off season except for one trip when my daughter was dancing at the Magic Kingdom. Disney staffs attractions well and also adds additional ride vehicles if available during peak seasons. What Disney has no control over is restaurants as people take as long as...
