    Alligator or Magnolia Bend ?

    we stayed in Alligator last fall and LOVED it. The ambiance was wonderful. I really felt like the rooms had a ton of great character, though I admit to only seeing youtube tours of Magnolia.

    To Drive or...take the bus.

    Drive! We found it to be infinitely quicker and generally more convenient than wasting time waiting for buses.

    Fastpass+: Daughter Not "Eligible?"

    Thanks to all- I called and it was a weird glitch. The friendly CM figured it out and fixed it quickly while on the phone with me. Now to make those selections!

    Fastpass+: Daughter Not "Eligible?"

    I tried to make FP+ choices last night, and the site says DD8 is not eligible. What does that mean? I assume it's a glitch. Anyone had a similar issue? I tried calling WDW but hung up after 25 minutes on hold.

    Do we need to book restaurants?

    I'm in total agreement. Even if you don't generally like to plan ahead, I think it will save a lot of frustration to make reservations. I know our family would end up bickering if we wasted an hour or more wandering around looking for someplace to eat.

    MyMagic+ Test INVITE October 2013

    When you all say you logged in and has access, what are you logging into? The "My Disney Experience" app? If so, where are you seeing the option show up? I keep trying it and poking around but don't really even know what I'm looking for. Not coming till October 9, though, so it's still early.

    Am I expecting too much?

    I agree. Personally, I don't even think I would trust anyone to make my ADR's. I feel like there are often "on the fly" decisions I need to make when something isn't available, or I have something in mind for a specific time. Of course, I have been told I'm a control freak. That could have...

    How do you plan your ADRs?

    I've always called. I tried to use the online system, but it always wants a credit card to guarantee many of my reservations, even with the Dining Plan. A Disney phone CM once told me he recommended calling because they've had problems with people being charged and not being able to use DP...

    Don't Blame Me!..Blame Someone Else..

    We booked our first trip through AAA. We arrived in the Orlando airport and were heading to the Magical Express counter when we looked to the right and saw... our luggage. Just sitting there in a random pile on the floor. Yet another oversight by AAA, "By the way, you need to let them know to...

    Stuff that's overpriced in Disney but you buy anyway

    Food! Just had an amazing breakfast at a local diner for $7. Said to DH, "That would have cost $30 at Disney." It comes with the territory, though, so I try not to think about it too much.

    First Day Traditions?!

    Since we drive, we usually arrive around lunchtime. For the past few years, we've hit DTD for lunch. Our first full day always starts at Magic Kingdom! The first of the castle kicks off vacation for us. We are T minus 63 days and counting till our next trip. Woo hoo!

    Lot more " service dogs" seen this past summer

    It's just so shameful. Don't get me wrong, I love my dogs. I'm too much of a rule follower to scam the system, though. Also, THEY ARE DOGS. They are a hassle. I would rather not go than take my dogs and constantly worry about them relieving themselves someplace inappropriate. These are the...

    Dine w/an Imagineer

    I think this sounds so awesome. However... I don't know about losing (even if to something so cool) 3 hours of my day. My DD8 wouldn't be at all interested in this, so I would have to send her and DH off to have fun. Without me.

    Use of resort food court toaster

    I've brought my own English muffins to toast at PORS and have never gotten so much as a glance. I always bring my own breakfast food, and warm it up in the food courts.

    Congratulations..You've won a Free 2 Credit Dinner For Two..

    Yachtsman! Haven't tried it but the menu looks pretty tasty. The heirloom tomato appetizer (fried mozzarella curds, petite herbs, basil oil) would be a must-try, even if I had to pay for it out-of-pocket.

    Fall 2013 Free Dining and Room Discount Details!!!

    Bummed :(. Apparently, we booked our October trip before the price hike. So, not only do we not qualify for free dining because of the black out dates, we also get a big whopping $30 off with the room discount. Boo hoo, poor me. Yeah, I know. I'm still going to Disney!

    How would you handle this?????

    @"SMS55- I'm right there with you! We have a trip planned in October and I haven't told a single person on my side of the family. They've even asked when we're going back and I just say I'm not sure. I put way too much work into planning something that works great for the 3 of us in my...

    Do you plan like this?

    I totally think the planning is (almost) as much fun as the trip. I have always loved the anticipation building up to something, and truly love to plan far in advance. It gives me something to look forward to. I have a spreadsheet into which I have all the park schedules, crowd levels, ADR's...

    What is your opinion on how to do Breakfast at WDW?

    I pack breakfast foods (muffins I make at home, Pop Tarts, cereal) and bring them with us. When we fly, I pack a suitcase with food then bring it back filled with souvenirs. I've recently seen those little organic milks in the grocery store and I plan to bring those with me for DD and DH each...

    Your Biggest TS Disaster At WDW.

    We have always loved Les Chefs de France, BUT... a couple of years ago, we were sitting next to a family there. Midway through the meal, their little boy (6-7 years old) vomited all over the table. We were in between them and the bathroom, and, through no fault of their own, we were revolted...
