So, like the majority of folks I was unable to secure a BOG ADR for our xmas vacation. To help heal the wounds [and no I have not given up entirely, just trying to cope as I sadly redial the dining line again and again] - what would you all suggest we do to make up for this 'loss'? Pirate...

Thanks for all the great tips, we will have a car so have to check out some of the off site ideas too. Would not have thought of that. We might do AK after all, thanks!

We've been to Disney many times, but this will be our first trip at Xmas with our 5 year old and 11 year. We will only be there 6 days, so I'm thinking of skipping Animal Kingdom entirely, but if we do what will we miss seeing at Xmas? What do you consider to be the must do's at Xmas or what...

This is probably the one Disney thing we've done that we were disappointed in. And I think for me it was because it was sooo expensive for what it is. If you've done everything else and money isn't an issue, then yes it's a a cute experience. My 4 year old was too tired by the end of the...

we booked happy limo last year, no one showed, called them, was told they are on their way, called again finally told he called in sick an no one was coming so went ahead and took Mears. Called next day and they returned my $ but no aplogy or offer of a future discount or anything so I've...

This reminds me of a conversation I had once with a doctor and his wife. The Dr was very practical and a little bit of a pompous ahole to be honest and we were debating his "value" in society versus someone who was a hair dresser for example. Or an engineer vs an actor etc. After going back...

I guess we were the dummies who followed the rules this whole time. Had no idea you could push the limits that late, we even had a nguy at test track not let us in a few minutes early a few years ago. So we really don't care and can't believe anyon does either.

Anyone ever been to Disney with someone who is not a Disney fan? Just got back from a trip where my brother tagged along with our family. His first trip, I was so excited to show him all the things I loved about Disney. Well he was not so excited. Not that he bashed anything, he just wasn't...

Love Shades of Green, we have been to Disney 7 times since 2008 and have stayed at SOG for four of them. The other three we stayed off property once, at Port Orleans once and at the Beach Club once. Shades of Green rooms are as large or larger than Disney deluxe resorts. The decor is on...

Thanks, I was hoping someone had more details on what the "select" locations and "select" merchandise referred to - not much detail on the website unless I'm missing it.

stay in separate rooms as close to the Magic Kingdom as you can afford. The moderate resorts are very nice. Check to see if you qualify for any other discounts (i.e. military, aarp, aaa etc.) lots of deals out there if you look on Mousesavers.com Renting from a dvc member is a good idea too...

Does anyone know the rules or where I can find the rules of what discounts we get for using the Chase Disney Visa? I just got back from our Disney trip and it was very inconsistent and no one could explain why I got it sometimes and not others. I thought we got 10% for $50 of purchases - but...

I think most people went to see it because of the new technology in special effects. Now that's "old news" the story itself doesn't seem to have enough staying power to warrant an attraction. None of the characters are very interesting to me either. How many kids dressed up as Avatars that...

Thanks for all the input we'll look into a wheelchair when we check in - all the planning and one thing we did not plan for :shrug: I'm so glad for the great folks on this forum who are so helpful.

Help please, We are leaving for wdw this Friday and my oldest son just hurt his foot playing basketball - he gets an xray tomorrow but the way he can't walk we're pretty sure he has some kind of fracture - the nurse thinks me might get by with wearing a boot. We've been to disney multiple...

Wow, that's great. Love how he did that.:king:

Wow that's great. I just watched the video, how beautiful (loved the music too). I can't imagine how you felt - how did they tell you? Did you have any idea what the room would be before you got to it? Congratulations:king:

Absolutely we prepaid for our pass $100 bucks then loaded it up - I figure I'm going to get the pics anyway so might as well pay up front and load it for all it's worth. My son did the Jedi training thing at Hollywood and they take a ton of photos while he's fighting Vader so I was really glad...

I think the point here is someone who has an autistic child and handiapped relative does not want to risk ( no matter how small the risk) having to deal with a situation where they don't have connecting rooms. I have no experience with either situation, but I have kids and have had the...

My husband and I did a "resort" crawl one year. We used the transportation system and ventured from one resort to another and had one drink a the resort bar or ate breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. Obviously this was a whole day thing and every drink was not alcoholic :) we wanted to see what the...
