    A good but sometimes tough question..whats your first memory?

    Mine was in the early 90s and I was in kindergarten... I remember getting one of those light up mickey mouse snow globe wands, and riding splash with mom and dad while leaving my brother with my grandparents. I also have vague memories of the backlot express when we went by the houses from tv...

    Monorail system to close during non peak times for maintenance in early 2014

    Gut reaction: This blows.... Upon further thought: This is awesome, the monorails will get attention and it will just be one trip that is inconvenienced, Disney is still making them available before 11 and after 7 for the kiddos we are traveling with and I can still run them onto the Epcot...

    That time of year: pop warner football

    I think it would be a good idea for Disney to have a list on their website so you know what large scale events will be there when you are (With a disclaimer that there will ALWAYS be Brazillian tours ;) ). If you like cheerleading book around Worlds, if you like band book around Band events (I...

    Marathon Weekend

    We did Marathon weekend last year and, as many said, didn't notice any huge crowds. We did notice that most marathoners went back to the hotels and those that did come out at night went to MK for Wishes. The monorails were PACKED in the evening though.

    That time of year: pop warner football

    I'm sorry but sadly it comes across as hate. I get what you are trying to say but disagree. I don't want to fight, really, I just disagree. That being said, I love Pop week, I love The Cheerleading Worlds week, I love it all. I coach cheer and have been a cheerleader for 18 years and yes, I...

    Parades interfering with rfid?

    Yep. I work with them every day too. I am 100% sure this is inaccurate. Unless the actress was standing with the receiver against the RFID reader (which even then is pushing it) this sort of thing doesn't happen. Cell phones could probably do more damage. That being said knowing there is no...

    Carousel of Progress has a Fastpass sign up.

    So I was thinking, this could be a good thing for CoP and the like. People who usually wouldn't go will be going, if one out of every five people find it a bareable break from the swealtering heat of Florida they may start revisiting it and thus save it from extermination. I am NOT saying it is...

    Be Our Guest....taking pictures

    If you're that worried you can go around opening in the morning. They usually have the castle open for walkthroughs, or as disney puts it "self guided tours". You can ask at the check in kiosk when they're open, when we were there the walk through time was everyday prior to 10am.

    Who here remember this?!

    Oh man I was 9 and this was the coolest thing ever! I loved how it swayed in the wind. If I saw it now at 25 I don't think I'd be so keen on it but for only one year I would be ok with it.

    Discounts for part of your stay?

    When we booked in January the discount applied to the entire stay. We got 30% off the entire stay including the dates that weren't listed online (MLK weekend) I would definitely call to double check.

    Why is MK open so late this weekend?

    The college I work at was closed for once. I seriously thought about hopping on a standby today when I walked outside and there was still snow on the ground. Is jersey week still happening this year or was that cancelled?

    Why is MK open so late this weekend?

    In Illinois we get Presidents' Day and Linclon's birthday off. I thought about going to the world this week and only using two vaca days but the bank account said no.

    Live with Kelly and Michael at WDW

    Good luck! I am so excited to watch next week. I'm going to live vicariously through the TV! I love Kelly and Michael. They are way more relatable to the under 40s than Regis was. I still love Regis but I'd rather watch two people I'd hang around with than my grandpa in the morning.

    Have YOU spotted a MagicBand recently?

    Lights! Lights! Dear god tell me they light up. Either that or I can have a Pre-recorded Mickey laugh whenever I pass one of the readers!!!!!

    Have YOU spotted a MagicBand recently?

    Awesome. Now if I'm hungry waiting in line I can sustain myself by eating my magic band. I think I'll just hook the band to my purse or belt loop. There is no way I'm wearing it.

    Have YOU spotted a MagicBand recently?

    I saw one in use Mid January by some people in suits at BOG. They were walking around with it, I assume they were testing functionality. I wish I got a picture but I was too excited to see the inside of the beasts castle for the first time. The bands are hideous and the woman was carrying it...

    Be Our Guest Counter Service

    I did lunch there and it was really nice. Totally different than anything else in magic kingdom. I had turkey and the rest of my group had the steak sandwich and everything was really good. Dinner was MUCH better than lunch. We didnt wait for lunch because we snagged reservations through...

    Joffrey's Coffee to replace Nescafe Coffee throughout Disney's Domestic Parks and Resorts

    Jofferys is a decent coffee for a theme park. If you go in expecting to be amazed you won't be, but you won't be overly disappointed either. It is 1 million times better than icky Nescafé. I've had it a few times by Epcot and at dining locations and it is way better than that flavored water...

    Joe Flacco in the parks today?

    Out of curiosity which app are you using? I'm using the my disney experience one. I would assume the crowd sourced ones are more accurate. I may have checked during a parade or something too. Did Flacco spend the whole evening there or did he just ride in the parade and leave?

    Joe Flacco in the parks today?

    According to the app they aren't too awful and on par with lower crowds... 25 for JC, 55 Space, 60 little mermaid and Belle and 45 for Pan. I'm amazed, but then again it IS a Monday and some kids have school.
