    Strollers, is theft a concern?

    We never had any issues when my DS was young enough to fit in a stroller. As long as your not using a $1000 stroller you should be fine. Before our first trip we just picked up a Maclaren Umbrella stroller (you used to be able to get them on sale for about $100 at Babies-R-Us 11-12 years ago)...

    Free meal plan question

    The only time I have found free dining not to be a good deal is if you are a "group" of 1 or 2 and are staying deluxe and eat light. With those parameters the 20% off room discount may save you a bit over the free dining. But I'm with you in thinking that if you are a group of 3+ and are...

    Sports Bar to watch MayMac fight

    I've been told that the BW's by us in Grand Rapids Michigan (Mayweathers home town) are charging a $20 cover to help recoup the costs of the PPV fees. The cover must be paid by anybody wanting to sit inside. Anybody wishing to sit on the patio where they will not be showing the fight can do so...

    Late Night Arrival - Worth Using DME?

    We have flown in late a couple of times and never had an issue with DME. And you would be surprised at how fast they can get the luggage over to the turn style.

    November crowds

    We fly out on 11/22 for 8 days. We are planning on it being busy and anything less will be a pleasant surprise. In the end it all comes down to planning. You can go down during a really busy time, plan everything out, and have a great time. You can also go down during a less than busy time...

    Planning a week-long trip, how many days at WDW/Universal

    I'm not sure how tall your 5 year old is but have you checked the height limits on the rides at UNI. When were there last our DS was 7 and he is on the shorter side. We found UNI to be a waste of $$ as he was unable to ride the majority of the rides including the Forbidden Journey which the...

    Should I purchase TIW?

    Is this your only trip? If you are a AP holder I hope your going more than just this once and that way the expense of the TiW can be spread out over multiple trips.

    Magic band activate?

    The only time you should have to activate a MB is if you buy one at the park and need to add it to your My Disney Experience account. Otherwise as @DisneyJoe said they should be good to go once you check in.

    Pay hotel bill with cash

    I assume when you say "Magic Band account" you are referring to your My Disney Experience account? All of the ways you use are actually the same process. You have a card linked to your MDE account to make your dining reservations.This card will set as default for the stay at a resort hotel and...

    Closest Wawa

    You beat me to the question! I hope there is some meaning to the name otherwise it would just sound like a 2 year old wanting a drink. Edit: After looking it up I think Wood's (after founder George Wood) or Chester's (after the place it was founded, Chester Heights) would have been a better...

    Why do you think Disneyland preserves their classic attractions better than WDW?

    With WDW you have people coming down and spending big $$$ to be there for up to 2 weeks at a time and they want these people to come back every couple of years. In order to achieve this they need to make sure they have new and fresh rides and attractions to make people want to come back. It...

    Baby's First Trip! (Which she will obviously remember duh...)

    I would want clarification on this as it does not sound right. It would seem to me that you would all need to have the fast pass on your MDE to get past the main fast pass touch point the first time.

    Pay hotel bill with cash

    Once you hit that $10k mark the theory of cash is king kinda goes out the window and is replaced by you must me a drug dealer or are somehow cheating the government out of taxes they are entitled to. The additional paperwork required for transactions over $10k is stupid.

    Haunted Mansion, they fixed it!

    Wow tough crowd today..... Shorter wait time with a rushed pre-show and people complain they don't get to truly experience the pre-show. They slow down the pre-show (yes I know it is most likely cast member driven) so you can actually enjoy it and people complain the line does not move fast...
