    "Deadliest Catch" Northwestern merch?

    When we were there last week, the capitan from the show was at the Puffin's Roost signing autographs. The promo material indicated that merchandise from the show would be available. I got the feeling that it was just tied in with his visit. It wasn't clear if it was something they were now...

    Please help me get this cheaper!

    Okay, that's making more sense now! :) I would talk with Kingdom Konsultants and see what they say. You can also just wait for a while and see what kind of deals come out. For us, we've usually found that the AAA discount came out better than what Disney was offering (except in 2006 and we...

    Photo released of Princess Tiana

    I was really surprised I didn't see anything in the park with her last week. But today at Target, I did see my first Tiana doll. It was one of those big sets with all of the main princesses, and she was smack dab in the middle.

    re: TSA- "TSA Plunders Boy's Disney Toys"

    We were just down there, and there were stickers on the wooden toy guns that were at POTC and elsewhere around Frontierland that stated that they MUST go in checked luggage if flying. Not all of the toys said that, but there are some that did. I'm just not sure why they didn't check them in...

    Please help me get this cheaper!

    I agree! We just did four nights in the tower at the Contemporary, dining plan for 2 adults and 1 child and 5 day park hoppers. Even with the 2010 rates, there's only about $1k difference in what we paid for all of that compared to your $1693 at a value with fewer people and fewer days. Are...

    Dining Plan Beverage

    Yep, it just depends. There are usually several different kinds of different drinks outside of the standard coke/juice/milk/tea options. The one thing I can tell you that is never covered are the glow cubes!

    Have you looked into a AAA discount?

    Online ADR success

    I snagged a 5:40 for last Saturday at Le Cellier about a week prior to my trip! So, it is possible to grab a dinner - just have to get it just right.

    Good places for breakfast?

    All four of us LOVE Chef Mickey's. Just fun! Food's pretty decent. All other mornings, our breakfast is bagels at quick service!

    What bug spray works best?

    While I agree that there's really no need for bug spray at WDW, I did come home with three bites. But, I get bitten EVERYWHERE I go.

    General rule(s) for dessert substitution?

    I am very well aware of that. But it's not tap water. It's at least been filtered or distilled.

    General rule(s) for dessert substitution?

    I do NOT like Florida water! We even notice that the soft drinks taste different, so yes, I have no problem buying bottled water while on vacation. I grew up going to Florida most summers, and even before bottled water was en vogue, we would buy a huge container of Zephyerhills (still from FL...

    What bug spray works best?

    I use the Kiss My Face brand - Swy Flotter is the name of their product. Citronella is the active ingredient.

    WDW dining choices

    Just know that at many of the MK dining areas, especially Pinnochio's, a CM will guide you to a seat if you go when it's really busy. You can always ask for one of the coveted seats, though! :) Chef Mickey's is a must do, so I'm glad it's on your list. We just returned from taking DS for...

    $79 Base Ticket

    But, see, that's sad to me. We used to do this a lot! Growing up, we would usually stay a week in Ormond-By-The-Sea, and more times than not, we'd head over mid-week for a long day at the park. To do this now, WOW, it would be insanely expensive just to get in. We were just there a few days...

    Best place to watch Wishes...besides Main Street

    We saw it this past Sunday night in Fantasyland near the Tea Cups. Even without the story, it was still so beautiful to see! No problems with fallout. We were staying at the Contemporary, and there were tons of people on the bridge between the C and BLT. You can only view from the top of...

    Bay Lake Towers opening

    I have no idea, but there was a soft opening last week. When we checked in at the Contemp on 7/30, we were asked if we were there for the Towers or the main building. Evidently, management and execs were there for a few nights, then some CMs had a shot. So, hopefully they ironed out any...

    Is it worth paying for a room with a View???

    To me, some room upgrade options are worth it, some are not. This is one that I don't think is worth it! We stayed at Poly last year, and we had a garden view room. Our patio was completely surrounded by greenery - it was terrific. Of course, not all are like that, but I just don't see the...

    Expedition Everest effects status watch

    I rode it on 8/2. The Yeti had glowing eyes and had arm movement. I know it's brown, it just seemed much darker than normal, and people complained that they never saw the Yeti (open your eyes, people!).
