    Broken Ankle

    I fall... A lot so I've been at theme parks in everything from a brace to a full on cast. 1) Don't have her walk unless it's healed. If she does it will injure her more in the long run. 2) Get a GAC. They're amazing and help a lot. 3) Call the resort ahead of time and explain the situation...

    Making reservation to find out club level not available....and luck upgrading?

    I've stayed club at several non-disney hotels around the country and only stayed club at WL. We just bought a house so this is kinda like our last big trip before years of home repairs eat my disney budget. We got a wicked good deal from my chase card so we could finally stay at GF. DVC seems...

    Making reservation to find out club level not available....and luck upgrading?

    We lucked into WL club level once due to issues with our previous room and would do it again except we wanted to do a monorail resort. Have you stayed at the CL in The outer building at GF before? I wish we could have done the poly, I guess the Reno from last year was temporary and this year...

    Most missed extinct attraction at WDW

    Yeah. It should have been a simple transportation boat but it was a horribly long "ride" where we saw snakeskin (I think?) and heard a lot of useless facts that you learned in elementary school from some teenager.

    Making reservation to find out club level not available....and luck upgrading?

    The poly club level is going to be under construction for the month of Jan and Feb according to the CM I spoke with back in August. I guess theyre putting in the new renovations and the whole longhouse is down. Contemp is also undergoing maintenance according to the CM but will be operating at a...

    Most missed extinct attraction at WDW

    I don't miss the original JII as much as I miss Imageworks. I could probably suffice with the existing ride if they brought back Imageworks ( of course with a few updates to keep with technology). Something you'll never hear on the forums " man I really miss The Radio Disney River Cruise"...

    What is the funniest thing you overheard another guest say in WDW?

    Picture yourself walking towards the big ugly hat from ToT in the middle of June. Look to your right and see a 400 pound woman sitting on the bench eating a turkey leg in the swealtering heat as a cast member is sweeping. The CM goes to sweep up a French fry she also dropped and the woman...

    Caribbean Beach question

    I loved CBR! Sure it was a haul to the custom house but the resort grounds were beautiful and everything was very quiet and clean. The quieter pools were awesome too. I just noted that next time I'm going to pay extra to be closer to the front like we do at POR :)

    Why do the fans hate brands?

    I for one love brands. I will gladly carry my disney Dooney and Burke purse filled with Sephora's Disney brand lipstick and walk down Main Street USA swoonin over photos of Christian Loubouin's Disney Cinderella slipper that I look at on my apple iPhone after using it to check my Disney app all...

    crowds first weekend in DECEMBER

    The first weekend of Dec is Pop Warner week. If you are staying at the all stars and don't like noise I would ask to be moved to another hotel. If not its actually not that awful, just a ton of football players and cheerleaders. DHS closes early one night I think for the Pop Party. Football...

    Pop Warner in November?

    Let me start by saying I coach competitive youth cheerleading and spend hours with these girls every week... I totally get how they could ruin a vacation, sometimes they ruin my trips to the grocery store. There are several youth cheer organizations and most of their competitions happen in...

    Caribbean Beach question

    I checked my closet full of hotel soaps (I have a problem) and it looks like its the small blue tube of combo shampoo/conditioner as well as a thing of body wash and some soaps. If you have kids I would recommend bringing your own shampoo and conditioner, there isn't much in the bottle. I used...

    Main Street Bakery to Serve Starbucks Coffee

    I am so excited! Seriously I love Starbucks, every cup brings a delightful smile to my face and it tastes way better than Nescafe. That being said I totally get what people are saying that MSUSA will become a strip mall of sorts, and I know that some people feel the same way about those...

    2 Credits! Yay or Nay.

    If we are talking about what is a great meal then by all means choose anywhere... but if you are asking what is monetarily worth 2 table service credits then @Phonedave has given me an idea... what does one TS credit really "cost". If it's $55 a day for the dining plan, and on average you get a...

    advice on parks/ trip planning for mid Jan

    You'll be there the same time I will! There is one thing for you to look at, the weekend you are there is MLK day weekend so the parks will mostly be crowded with locals who have the day off of school. Other than that you should be good! Do the Gran Marn Slush... It's the best. As a head's up...

    It's Snowing in Main Street USA.

    I love MK snow. Yes I know it's fake (I get enough of the real stuff at home in Chicago) but it amazed me as both a child and adult during the Christmas party. Here's a link to snow info from the company that Disney contracts out to do their MVMCP effect. I do not know if this is the same as the...

    Sshh.We are trying to eat.!

    I had a very quiet meal at the Brown Derby awhile back. I always request to be seated away from large families and small children. I'm willing to wait the extra 20 minutes for a peaceful meal. I have a hearing problem for about 8 hours after every flight so no matter where I eat my first day...

    Watch out if you need a gluten free diet on the meal plan or otherwise

    I would call ahead. I do every time I make a reservation and haven't had a problem. I'm allergic to red meat, pork, everything fried and most artificial food binding agents. Not to mention all uncooked dairy. I call ahead and scour the web for ingredients and they've been nothing but fantastic...

    Wilderness Lodge (2 Questions)

    We stayed in a club level room and although they don't look out into the lobby per say the club level lounge is on the top floor and overlooks the lobby. Great place to have breakfast and wind down in the evening.
