    Free tickets from CMs

    Thanks for all the info guys, although the snarky comments weren't really necessary. Like I said, I was just checking on here first to see how it works and what the protocol is, and it sounds like it isn't something worth pursuing. Better me asking on here first and finding out all the facts...

    Free tickets from CMs

    I didn't mean Christmas week itself. I just meant during the general Christmas timeframe, so we could do MVMCP, Candlelight Processional and see the Osborn lights. Probably the first 4 days or so after Thansgiving, as we work in retail and would not be able to get the time off before...

    Free tickets from CMs

    Thanks for the info, guys. As the old saying goes, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". LOL I figured there was probably more to it than having someone's grandma give them a call, then I get tickets in the mail for a family of four. That's why I figured I would get on here and...

    Free tickets from CMs

    It is my understanding that CMs are allowed to get people into the parks for free. I just have some questions on how that works. Are they only allowed a certain amount of people per year that they can get in for free? Is it only relatives? Do they have to personally show up at the turnstyles...

    Another AP question

    I pre-ordered our APs this past spring before the price increase, planning to use them next June and the following May. However, after looking over our finances, I think it may be best not to go next year. So my first question is, if I decided I don't need the APs at all, how do I go about...

    I'm not going to Disney World any more!!!!!!

    I understand and respect that. Naturally, if you don't enjoy it as much as you used to, or just don't find that the quality justifies the price, then it is reasonable to spend your money elsewhere on something else that you enjoy more. I just always caution people about withholding their...

    I'm not going to Disney World any more!!!!!!

    I don't like certain things that the Disney company promotes and is involved in and as a Christian, I sometimes face the question of whether I should put money into their pockets and help fund their company. But I look at it this way: not only does Disney have their hands in almost everything...

    Room Layout

    When we stayed at Port Orleans Riverside in 2007 (our first time ever on property), I remember walking into the room and the beds were on the right side of the room (using the door as the point of reference) and the TV and dresser were on the left. But when we stayed again in 2008, the beds...

    Looking for the truth about Value Resorts

    I haven't read every reply, so pardon me if someone else has already made the point I am going to make. But from a price standpoint, be careful about the Value Resorts. We tend to stay in the moderates, and every time I look into a Value Resort, I find that the price difference is not nearly as...

    Do you "move in" to your room?

    We usually get there around 9 AM or so, and if the room is ready, we go right in and spend the next hour or so getting situated. I usually have to make 5 or more trips to the Van to get the luggage, the coolers, etc and as I continue to bring stuff in, my wife is getting her stuff out and...

    Ticket Question

    Do you go to WDW every year, or otherwise plan to go again after this trip? If so, can you just hold on to that ticket and use it next time?

    How can resort be unavailable a year ahead of time?

    Try calling. I have always booked our trips eleven or twelve months in advance. We have always gone in April and I have always booked our resort for "next year" in March, April or May. We are going in June next year and I just called yesterday to inquire how much it will be. Even though I...

    How can resort be unavailable a year ahead of time?

    Back in April 2009, when I was booking our 2010 trip, I initially booked it for Caribbean Beach Resort and even a year out, they told me that the only rooms available were Pirate Rooms. I find it hard to believe that it would be that full that far out, so I wonder if the CM gave me wrong info...

    Disney Visa card -- have you saved with it?

    Ya, she just turned 4 last Saturday. So when we went in April, she was still 3, and it was her 2nd trip, and her first time needing park admission. Time flies don't it!

    Disney Visa card -- have you saved with it?

    My philosophy is that there are certain things that you are inevitably going to buy throughout the month whether you use a credit card or not. Things such as gas, groceries, etc. As long as you use it to buy the regular necessities and not just run around charging things just because you have...

    How long do female CMs get to play a princess?

    That's interesting. I just figured it would be much easier to tell someone that their year is up (or two years, or whatever), it's time to move on to another position and there is nothing they can do about it because it's policy than it would be to sit them down and tell them that they are now...

    How long do female CMs get to play a princess?

    I can't tell if that was a serious reply or if you were being sarcastic, but if this was a serious reply, then the question still stands as to what the maximum amount of time is that they can play this role until they are deemed "too old"? I understand if they get reviewed after 6 months, but...

    How long do female CMs get to play a princess?

    As I was looking through the latest issue of Celebrations, I thought I saw that the particular Aurora pictured with the Disney Princesses was the same Aurora that we had met on a past trip. I could not remember if it was this past April's trip, or last April's trip, so I got out the photo albums...

    HollyWood & Vine Character Breakfast

    Thanks for the answers, guys. Like I said, it's still 11 months until our next trip, so maybe they will rotate in some new characters by then. Of course, it won't do me any good if it's still the same characters come December when I hit my 180 day mark for ADRs, and the joint is all booked up...

    HollyWood & Vine Character Breakfast

    Just wondering what the current cast of characters is at HollyWood & Vine for breakfast? We ate there in 2011 and 2012 and each time, it was Oso, Handy Manny and two of the Einsteins. However, Oso and Handy Manny seem to be obsolete, as I never see them on TV anymore. So I figure if they haven't...
