    Yes but they aren't released yet as far as I know I'll check my calandar when I get into the office. They are usually held offsite, one in Orlando and one in Tampa however most parents and families make a vaca out of it. Both dates are around pop warner week. The Cheerleading worlds is even...

    Pop Warner Superbowl 2013

    AYC/AYF and UYF/UYC parents tend to stay at POFQ and POR when they spend a few days in Disney after their own "super bowls" in other locations in Florida. If you want to avoid them 100% I would stay at the deluxe resorts, it might be better for you guys.

    Get Me Outa This Resort!

    I also travel with my cheerleaders. Usually I'm in charge of about 30 of them as we wander across the states for events and let me tell you those girls behave themselves, when they don't it doesn't matter where we are I start counting, when I finish and they stop talking they all get on the...

    Getting replacement souvenirs mailed to your house

    @DisneyWorldFred Disneystore.com is under a different (and less "magical") arm of Disney Corp so when you call you are dealing with their people. I stopped purchasing most things from Disney Store because I was tired of the dealing with customer service. I just wait and but things in the...

    DVC Studios: What do you think of these options?

    We stayed at the AKL KV this past Saturday with 3 adults. It was a tighter fit than we expected, but not a deal breaker. We came from GF so that might be why it felt small, but the lack of space when the bed was folded out was pretty bad. We ended up keeping the couch folded and one of us...

    Be our Guest... HELP!

    Selected Club level guests at a few hotels were offered the chance to Pre-test the new check in system. I tested it on Tuesday at lunchtime. They are testing a system where you will Pre-order a quick serve lunch and essentially make a reservation for your lunch as well. They're in the...

    NextGen / FP+ / Magic Band. The official truth starts to appear

    Ok so I just transferred hotels for a night and something weird happened. I was informed I was a candidate for the magic band and then the agent disappeared in back and came out only to say they didn't have them yet. This was a digital note on the reservation as it came up at check in. I'm...

    NextGen / FP+ / Magic Band. The official truth starts to appear

    It was at the be our guest resturant at lunchtime at the check in station. I believe she was doing the Pre-order lunch test and was leaving. It was a party of one that I saw and she was in her 30s or 40s. The groups of guests were all dressed well and were all adults but I only saw two groups of...

    NextGen / FP+ / Magic Band. The official truth starts to appear

    There are a few people in the parks with the band today. It's hideous and blue. The people I saw with them were dressed nicely (think business attire) and most women were just holding them in their hands. One had it around her purse strap. I wish I could have gotten a picture.

    NextGen / FP+ / Magic Band. The official truth starts to appear

    Today we were selected to be a part of a trial thing where we get a front of the line pass for a certain time at BOG for lunch but get to try a new website where you Pre-order all of your food prior and schedule a meal time for quick service lunches. I get to check it out and try to order...

    I am calling it the "Year of a Million Themes" and will refer to it as such all week while I'm there.

    Disney launch 'Limited Time Magic' for Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort in 2013

    I'm guessing it will be the bubble "snow" that is on Main Street for Christmas. Would make sense seeing as they just took down the Christmas decorations. Might as well use up all the bubble mix. I'm kinda excited. I always liked how pretty Canada was and hope the snow will just add to it...

    Grand Floridian Resort restaurants, shops and courtyard pool to close for refurbishment this year

    At the time of booking (August) the website said it would be finished in early December, I figured a month for delays would be sufficient, guess not. Things happen, I'm sure I'll be over it the minute I get there. I've learned my lesson to not trust Disney's rehab end dates. :rolleyes:

    Disney launch 'Limited Time Magic' for Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort in 2013

    I don't really care but I'm getting really antsy about when I'll be there next week and the lack of anything is starting to me off. Yes I'm psyched to go and at the end of the day it'll be a great trip because its WDW but I'm kinda getting tired of all of these advertisements for nothing...

    Grand Floridian Resort restaurants, shops and courtyard pool to close for refurbishment this year

    I wouldn't get your hopes up sadly. :( I was excited for the new pool renos to be done when I booked my trip for next week and lo and behold there will be no courtyard pool open right outside of our building, when I called I was told early spring at the earliest (which could be wrong, I am just...

    Need Serious Shoe Help!

    I live in these shoes at work. They're so worth the extra money and can also be found at Clarkes outlets. Outside of those I usually wear the Nike fit foam sandals because they're more comfortable than the rebok or Adidas brand. http://m.zappos.com/nike-comfort-thong-black-white-vivid-pink

    Help deciding on where to stay - Old Key West or Art of Animation

    I've never been in AoA but I do know key west is great. We stayed there with four adults in a one bedroom and loved the amount of space afforded to us. Two of us shared a king bed and the others took the pullout and the pullout chair. The extra bathrooms were great and it was nice to each have...

    Disappointed in Riverside.

    You're not the only one. I had an awful time my last stay at POR. It was the hotel from h-e double hockey sticks. But after talking to the front desk they offered (without me asking) a generous resort credit and I drank my sorrows away around the world in EPCOT. I'd have your DH go talk to the...
