    Eating with allergies

    My husband is allergic to tree nuts and shrimp. We've never had an issue at Universal: we read the menu carefully and double-check ingredients with servers (who usually send out a chef, same as WDW).

    Transferring luggage and groceries during a split stay

    I've never heard of them refusing to transfer non-perishable groceries. Luggage transfer generally includes anything packed in your bags. We just pack our non-perishable groceries in our luggage/totes and have never had an issue.

    Has anyone used their old Magic Bands

    We last visited in August, using 12 different bands (all MagicBands 2.0 with the round puck, NOT MagicBand+) that were all 4-8 years old.* Although they didn't always work for things that needed to happen over a distance (e.g., capturing on-ride photos automatically, although to our amazement...

    Disney Doesn't Want You to See This

    I always notice the tunnel/floor cut-outs in the backwards portion of Expedition Everest, where during daylight hours, you can see directly into the "guts" of the mountain and view the internal support structure (which apropos of nothing, looks just like the inside of the Statue of Liberty). I'm...

    Line Jumpers/Cutters

    Agreed. When we were at MK in August (after waiting an hour in 95-degree heat until rope drop), a Karen and her son strolled up to the 7DMT permanent queue entrance at park opening time, casually ducked under the rope (and in front of several hundred people who'd formed a queue that led from...

    Split stay and refillable mugs

    It appears that this is still how it works (and you may not even need to show the receipt), up to 14 days. The Tourist Blog does suggest that you make the cast member aware of your final check-out date when you make your purchase, so they know you'll need it to stay active for the full two...

    Transferring luggage and groceries during a split stay

    I'm afraid your experience is no longer consistent with current practices. Years ago, yes, Disney would transfer cold items and keep them cold. This is no longer the case. The discontinuation of that aspect of luggage transfer was conspicuously announced in 2021. It has never been reinstated...

    Any Way to Purchase Fort Wilderness Merchandise Online/Off-Site?

    If you Google "Disney World shopper," there are a number of small businesses that will buy and ship merchandise from the parks to you.

    Help choose please..

    It would help to know, what are your reasons for choosing AKL? What do you find attractive about Boardwalk that has you considering a switch? AKL (as you know) is gorgeous, with some of the best on-site dining of any WDW resort, and many beautiful areas (in the lobby, but also throughout the...

    Disney World needs major updating

    Sorry to stray off-topic, but FWIW, I agree. We were at Hard Rock during President's Day week February 2021, and had such a thoroughly horrible and unpleasant stay -- with "guest recovery" offers so pitiful that they just added insult to injury -- that we've sworn off of it forever. It's a...

    Very Easy Reservation Booking?!? (July 2023)

    Yes. If you are staying at an onsite hotel (including Swan and Dolphin, even though they're not Disney-owned) you can make all your dining reservations for the whole length of stay (up to 10 days), starting at 60 days out. Linking your hotel reservation to MDE is what lets the dining reservation...

    Very Easy Reservation Booking?!? (July 2023)

    Cancel within 2 hours of the reservation time to avoid a penalty. Yes, you can book your dining reservations 60 days out. If your Swan/Dolphin hotel reservation is linked to your My Disney Experience account/app, you can book reservations for the whole trip on that day. If not, you'll have to...

    Very Easy Reservation Booking?!? (July 2023)

    Google Translate tells me these were your questions: Can you tell me how it works for restaurant reservations? In particular I wanted to ask you when booking do I have to put a prepaid credit or debit card but you take money on the account and especially after having lunch or dinner do I have to...

    Transferring luggage and groceries during a split stay

    Bell Services will transfer your bags (including whatever groceries you've packed in them, although they may be destined for a non-climate-controlled storage space, so stick to non-perishables). We love split stays and have used the luggage transfer service repeatedly with no problems. We...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I really hope so! I'm rooting for the success of this redesign. I just don't think that Disney's description of its concept thus far -- employee-owned food coop, situated in an old salt mine, gathers ingredients for Mardi Gras dishes -- sounds remotely interesting or engaging.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    In my opinion, a ride's theme, concept, and/or story should be simple enough for a child (or a dim-witted adult on vacation) to immediately understand, or for a 2-minute preshow to explain. When you need a few years' worth of blog articles, press releases, and a new cartoon series just to help...

    Has Be Our Guest gone downhill?

    Yes, but for 2 credits, making it one of the very worst (meaning: most financially wasteful) uses of the DDP. If you opt to go, you're better off paying out of pocket, and using your TS credits somewhere else. (To summarize the math, a TS credit on the DDP is worth about $63/adult, so a 2-credit...

    Disney sued over a wedgie at TL

    Warning signs can serve as a defense to liability, but only to the extent they are deemed effective: they're not a complete shield. Much depends on whether the warning is prominently posted, highly visible, well-lit, easy to understand, and describes the dangers involved with sufficient...

    Disney sued over a wedgie at TL

    Photos of her swimsuit are annexed to the complaint. It was a modest 1-piece with full coverage on the bottom -- no thong, not even a high-cut leg. The issue is that the combination of all that fabric being instantaneously forced inside of her body, and/or the pressure of the water rushing...
