    A Sensitive Topic...

    Hi - Over the past few months I have been planning out taking my 4 (almost 5 when we get to WDW) cousin. I'm excited, he's excited, I know it is going to be a great time. When I was showing him the Magic Band last weekend so that he could pick his color and get it customized, I talked to him...

    I'm A Believer: The New System Works

    I was admittedly a skeptic, and the first time out I was looking for it to fail, but have to agree it has been great. I like (love) being able to look up my reservations and FP on the phone so far out so I can discuss with the travel group any plans - and they can review them on their phone when...

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    Why do people complain about the cost of water? It's something they see in the supermarket and can quickly do the math on how much they pay for a bottle vs. how much Disney is charging. My local supermarket has three twenty four packs on sale for $10. That works out to 14 cents a bottle...

    Disney boardwalk

    Best time to go is when they have the entertainment on the Boardwalk at night - fun to watch for a while.

    MEMORY MAKER/AP MAGIC BAND QUESTION

    Here's why I think that it is not an ethical problem.... Often when I am with friends, family, etc there will be times where we take photos with me in it, and not with me in it. All of them are connected to my band (even before the free memory maker) because I am the person who organizes the...

    Minnie Hollywood and vine ?????'s

    I went last summer. As we walked up to the restaurant, my friend looked at the restaurant, looked at me, looked around to the Brown Derby and said, "I think I booked the wrong restaurant". When we walked in, I was ready to retrace my steps out and go somewhere else. But we wanted the...

    MEMORY MAKER/AP MAGIC BAND QUESTION

    Wondering if anyone might have the answer to this question about an upcoming trip.... I have an AP which now has the Memory Maker included. On an upcoming trip, I will be with family for a few days and then heading back home to return to work while they stay. Since on the days we are...

    Mansion stretch room too frightening for children

    Sneaky Cards in the Parks?

    What would be the reason to hide the card near a landmark? Same goes with hiding it.... would the person who finds the card know what to do? I love the other ideas - I have often thought it would be fun to buy some balloons and just give them to random kids, but have never done it.

    Mansion stretch room too frightening for children

    I'm taking a 4 going to be 5 year old this August. I will take him on the Haunted Mansion, but I will prepare him for it beforehand. And if he starts to freak out, then I will have to readjust our plans for the rest of the trip. Even if he freaks out, screams that could wake the dead and...

    What is the worst park?!

    I love all the parks, but right now Hollywood is the one park I don't spend time in more than my FP and maybe Beauty and the Beast. I look forward to seeing what the new expansion brings, but part of me is concerned that Disney will cut back on their grand vision and we get something less than...

    MK Wishes FP Area Issue

    I have used the FP twice and both times stood - and people who want to sit after a long day really should not complain if people want to stand and watch. If there were benches and chairs, then it is a different story.... but my feeling is the FP area was to give you a better sight line to the...

    Disney Survey on implementing a $15 resort fee

    A few years back I was staying at OKW. Around 9 am we left the room, went to get breakfast with the idea we would come back, take a quick shower, grab our bags and then head to the parks before we left. When we got back to the room, I was shocked to find the door wide open. Housekeeping...

    Advice Needed: Large Family

    To piggy back on what previous posters have said, go for renting at OKW. This was Disney's first foray into time shares and the 2BR are huge. The living room area is large enough that there is a nice size table and chairs, sofa, love seat, chair and there is still room to put the pack and play...

    people who don't want to go with you

    Two years ago I went on a date where we decided to meet at the nearby beach that has a boardwalk. We could walk, talk and get to know one another. About a half hour into the date, we were strolling along and asking each other questions. I was asked where do I like to vacation. I mentioned my...

    Disney Survey on implementing a $15 resort fee

    Many people seem to be of the mindset - I'm ed over these fees, but I want to go to Disney, so I'll complain about it, but cough up the cash. And for many people, this will be true. But for many families, they are going to start looking at the extra costs that have been appearing and...

    our first visit was ruined by this disgusting cleaning

    There have been many things I have witnessed in my life that have disturbed me on different levels, but this video and incident should hot have 'ruined' anyone's vacation. This was not Disney emptying the rat traps around the property in front of guests, taking the carcasses and grinding them...
