    Golden Forest Room at Sequoia Lodge

    Has anyone stayed in a Golden Forest room recently? We had a regular room booked, but my brother decided to join us. When my mom called to rebook, they couldn't give us the same discounted rate (something about a 15% penalty? - I wasn't involved in this and didn't really get a good explanation)...

    Disney Dreams Schedule

    We're three weeks away from our trip and I'm trying to find a schedule for Disney Dreams. I've dug all over the official DLP site, but could only find a .pdf of the current Halloween schedule. (Am I the only one who finds their website to be way harder to use than the DL or WDW sites?) We're...

    Road Sign Falls Onto World Drive...

    According to this, two cars heading northbound crossed the median and hit the structure supporting the sign. At least one injury, possibly more. There are more pictures in the article too...

    Can We Have a Non-Guest Join Us While Using Meal Plan Vouchers?

    Sorry to spam the forum with threads, but I'm having a hard time digging up info on DLP dining. My mom, sister, and I are staying on site for a few days and got a half board plus meal plan. My brother who lives in Europe decided to join us for one of our park days and would obviously be eating...

    Meal Plan for Breakfast

    I'm planning a trip to Paris in November and we're spending a day and a half at DLP. We got the half board plus dining plan and we're trying to figure out which restaurants to book. I suggested doing a breakfast at Cafe Mickey to cut down on wasted park time (we're spending two nights there, but...

    Time Between 4th FP+

    I like to use the few minutes between entering the FP line and actually getting on the ride to make my next one now that you can do it on the app. You usually have a short wait and most (all?) of the rides no longer require a second scan at the merge point so you can use that time to pick your...

    Couple Photos

    My trip last month was my first with a significant other and the Photopass photographers had us do quite a few pictures where they'd tell him to give me a kiss. The castle one is my favorite. I also love the one they did with the balloons at Epcot. I just wish the exposure was better, but a...

    Favorite DHS quick service?

    Backlot Express because they have free refills on their drinks. And the Dark Side chicken and waffles they have now are both fun and tasty.

    Is Be Our Guest REALLY worth it?

    I think it depends on how much you value atmosphere and whether or not you like Beauty and the Beast. Belle was my favorite character growing up, so when I heard about the restaurant, I was dying to go. I'm not a huge fan of the menu because I tend not to like French food very much, but all I...

    New restaurant area @ Fort Wilderness

    What. On. Earth. We've stayed there dozens of times and I've never heard of such a thing. My parents are going to kick themselves for never knowing about the carryout chicken dinner on the menu. It doesn't appear to be on any of the campground maps that Google Images turned up and it took me a...

    New restaurant area @ Fort Wilderness

    Interesting. I've always wished that the campground had a quick service restaurant. I always figured a lot of people cooked in their campers so there wouldn't be a huge demand for it, but when we're at Disney we're all about the parks and never want to spend time making our own meals. I'd love...

    Most treasured Disney Souvenir?

    I have three Belle Precious Moments figures (blue dress, yellow dress, and Christmas dress) that I love. When I was a kid, my Mom got me the Precious Moments birthday train pieces every year and I adored Belle growing up because she was smart and liked books and looked like me, so when they...

    Is the Dining Plan Worth It Anymore?

    It depends on how you do the math. For my trip last month, I made a spreadsheet to see the cost comparisons based on what I guessed we might order at the place we had TSRs (BOG, Skipper Canteen, Rose & Crown) and QSRs that I prefer for other meals. When I added up what I would expect us to...

    No Handles on New Refillable Mugs

    I must be lucky because I've never had a problem with the handles in the cup holders in my little Focus. I definitely prefer the handles because I like to take my morning tea in mine and I have never left for work with less than three things in my hands and I'd have to get very creative to...

    favorite places to eat off property?

    I was a CP in Spring '06 and did two PIs with Housing for all of 2011. I just came back from a visit and one of my friends who still works there picked me up so we could go to Ale House for a glorious reunion with their nachos. I've probably consumed a hundred pounds worth of those and their...

    favorite places to eat off property?

    Miller's Ale House right near property is my favorite. I spent a LOT of nights they're when I was a CP. I'm also a fan of Sweet Tomatoes in the Crossroads shopping area. I know it's a chain, but we don't have them in Michigan and we used to eat there all the time when I was a PI. I spotted one...

    Excitement level for Avatar opening?

    It is very much true. I clicked on the link simply to vote in the poll and was curious to see what other fans thought of the upcoming addition. I'm clearly in the minority as I'm currently one of three votes in the "meh" category, which surprised me because all of my Disney friends that I talk...
