    AP Discount Question (45th anniversary Q)

    With that in mind is it still worth it to get the TiW?

    Time I can start pulling fast passes

    Maybe it was a glitch on our end this past Sunday but we tried at 7:00 and it did not work. After trying for about 5 minutes I thought I would give it one last try before going back to bed until 7:55 (I was starting to think it was 8 and not 7) and it finally worked. Got everything we wanted!!

    Disney Dining Plan - Little Upside............Massive Downside

    I've done the math on this one and unless you are staying deluxe I have not seen the room discount come out ahead with normal eating habits (not the most expensive items on the menu but not the cheapest either). The value and mod discounts are too small on a much cheaper room. I just have not...

    Disney Dining Plan - Little Upside............Massive Downside

    Here is the thing though.... I really want the $100 shoes but settle on the $50 ones because I cant justify the $100 ones. BUT if I can get them for $75 I can justify the costs and really enjoy them. :)

    Disney Dining Plan - Little Upside............Massive Downside

    This is incorrect. Most all of the character meals are only 1 credit. There are a select few that are 2, such as CRT. this is one of the last things that make paying for the plan worth it. If you do a lot of character dining, in most cases, you will come out ahead with the DDP. Otherwise...

    Bringing your own food to the food court!!

    So on our last trip was a "extra" trip. We had planned trips for Feb and Nov of 2015 and then Run Disney announced the Dark Side 1/2 marathon weekend for April 2016. We made the decision that we would find a way to make an April trip work. Since it was not a planned trip we did what we had...

    Totally booked!?!

    Keep in mind a "very slow week at WDW" does not exist anymore. There is only really busy, extremely busy, and out of control busy. People keep talking about how attendance has been decreasing but I have not seen any evidence of that. And hotel occupancy for the next 6-12 months is proof that...

    Flying with infant under 2

    How old is the child going to be? You mention infant and under 2. If the child is truly an infant (up to 9 to 12 months) I would just do him/her on your lap. With the cabin pressurization they are going to be doing a lot of holding and calming the baby anyway. Now if you are talking closer...

    Air Mattress in Value Resort?

    We did it a few years ago over at AS Movies and it worked out fine. We used a twin Coleman mattress. At night we moved the table and chairs and put it on the floor against the wall by the TV. During the day we stood it on its side in-between the inside bed and bathroom wall and put the table...

    HS: Struggling to make a day of it

    We will typically do 2 half days at HS. We will hit opening one day to watch some of the shows and do the major rides. Then we will hit the park at night on another day to get another round of rides in, watch the fireworks, and maybe Fantasmic. One whole day from rope drop to close would be a...

    BJ's $100 gift cards

    We were just at Sam's yesterday to grab cards. They increased the $150 pack to $145 and the $500 pack was at $480. Not as good as it was but we will still take the savings.

    Adults only in 2019 - costing advice

    Typically prices jump 5% to 10% per year across the board. There will probably be at least 2 sets of increases before fall of 2019. A couple of things to keep in mind. 1st is you can buy your tickets at any time and take advantage of a room discount at a later time. You just won't be able to...

    Magic Express Tags

    I would skip it for sure. Even if you land at 9:55pm and make the 10pm cut off you are still looking at close to 1am for luggage delivery. Depending on what hotel you staying at and where you get put at I would check and see if somebody can help with your bags when you arrive at the hotel...

    Magic Express Tags

    That 3 hours can be a bit inconvenient if you need something or are arriving after 8 or 9 but you are arriving in the morning to mid/later afternoon the service is really nice. We take a roller and backpacks on the plane with us with everything we need for the day and next morning and...

    Magic Express Tags

    With the yellow luggage tags your bags never make it to the carousel. The way I understand it they are pulled from the plane and put on carts. From there they are diverted to Disney for sorting by hotel, caged, and they loaded on the trucks for delivery to the hotel where a cast member...

    How accurate are crowd calendars?

    So in the thread that was started last week on the subject (http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/does-anybody-trust-crowd-calendars.930872/page-2) @lentesta gave a pretty good explanation on how the crowd calendars are created. However when it comes to Disney I'm still a firm believer that great...

    Magic Express Tags

    We also typically get our tags about the same time as the magic bands. My guess is the TA did not relay the information like they should have. Without the tags I would just get my own bags. There are way to many bags that come and go from the airport to trust that somebody will pull the...

    BJ's $100 gift cards

    This is good to know. We were planning on getting 20 of the $150 packs next week and it would make life sooo much easier to just get 6 of the $500's. I have not seen these in the stores, do you know if it is only available online?

    Advice on when book a flight - April vacation time frame

    We typically fly southwest and have found recently that the longer you wait the higher the prices go. We are actually looking at driving for a trip in April, something we have said we would never do again. But at a current price difference of $500/person it is worth it to drive... From Michigan.

    Free meal plan question

    Keep in mind you don't always have to use the adult credits on the younger kids. The credits are issued to your meal plan as a overall number and are not assigned to each person. It takes some thought but depending on your meals you can always pay OOP for the kids and save the adult credits for...
