    Napping on Rides/During Shows: Okay or Fau Pax?

    I don't think we have ever gone to a theme park with the intent to nap. With that being said, I know for a fact that I drifted off once during Nemo. I take a certain medicine that can really knock me out, so I am not about to judge anyone else because a lot of medicine can have different side...

    Who Pays for Your Trips to Disney?

    My husband and I pay for our trips ourselves. If we take our niece with us we pay for her tickets, food and drinks (usually we drive straight through from Illinois) and she pays for her own merchandise. Family trips we pay for our own family and hotel for our family and offer extra space in...

    Room Upgrades

    we were 'upgraded ' or 'downgraded' depending on how you look at it from POR to AoA due to a burst pipe in the bathroom and the fact that we needed a room that slept 5. We looked at it as an upgrade, the kids loved AoA and we loved the added space.

    Port Orleans Riverside or Caribbean Beach?

    No idea how many are in your group or the ages. However, we had a room that slept five because we have three girls. We were there in 2013 and because of a burst pipe in the bathroom we were moved to AoA. We were SOOOO happy to be moved. The rooms that sleep five are pretty tight unless you...

    Worst part of the Resorts and why?

    We have stayed at each level...value, mod and deluxe. Values: if you go All Stars expect lots of tour groups and the size and space of the food courts can't handle all those people when they come in big groups. Pop and AoA seemed to have fewer groups so the food courts weren't as bad...

    How far will Disney price gouging go?

    For us, we decided to skip FLA this summer. We were at WDW in Feb. / March and that was enough of a fix for us, we were disappointed in a few things and decided to save the funds for other trips. We have already decided next year to do the first part of the trip at Universal on their...

    Do you bring camelbacks to the park with you?

    Thanks. Seems pretty straight forward. I had no idea how they worked. I still wouldn't want to bring one into the park, but, that is because I just don't like to carry things around in the parks.

    Do you bring camelbacks to the park with you?

    Well, I am a bit of a germ a phobe. self - admitted and my husband loves me anyway. We don't keep our toothbrushes near each other at home and when we travel I don't allow my family to leave them out at all. I actually don't leave anything out even over lengthy stays...shampoo, conditioner...

    Lower Resort Mug Price

    I am an admitted iceaholic. I like my drinks super cold, tend to drink iced tea, so it melts the ice. I'd say I get about 8 - 10 oz. if I am lucky. But the plus side is so far the iced tea isn't timed. I do add ice every time I add tea though....instead of asking for free ice water I...

    Do you bring camelbacks to the park with you?

    Or when you are in line for a ride or show. Also, I wish they had a security bag check for those that bring in jam packed backpacks. We went once with my husband's family and my brother in law was hauling a major backpack every day, full of bottled waters, snacks, sunblock, etc., By day three...

    Do you bring camelbacks to the park with you?

    I think it is a central Florida thing. Because my b-in-law lives in Pensacola and he doesn't have that same 'water' issue.

    Do you bring camelbacks to the park with you?

    I think some of the water we have had in Florida has a distinct type of taste to it, can't describe it. Although at WDW even from the water fountains we have tried (not too many) were fine. Now, my aunt's house....no way would I drink that tap water and she doesn't live far 15 - 20 mins. from WDW

    Do you bring camelbacks to the park with you?

    If you go to quick service or snack counters that serve fountain sodas the ice water has no 'Florida' taste. No way would I try to ask anyone to haul that much water...and it would for sure tip the stroller every time the child was out of the stroller.

    Youth Group ticket price increase went up 40%

    We went with our high school marching band. Our district required 4 students to 1 adult supervision. Our trip was 5 days/4 nights 4 day park hopper passes. We added two days on to our trip and it was $11 per person per day to add additional days on our passes, but I was only able to do this...

    Guide map availability reduced at MK

    count me in the paper map fan club. I hate being a slave to my phone. I prefer to get out the map and lunch / dinner talk about what we have done, mark those things off and talk about what we still want to get done in that day. I hate Uni/IOA split park on one map but I still prefer that...

    Disney bus transportation etiquette rant

    As others have posted you might find people from multiple countries on one bus so it isn't necessarily a 'national norm' situation. Also, for those US citizens it might be their only time to use mass transit...even if they come from semi-large cities that have that type of transportation. It...

    Lower Resort Mug Price

    Once they went to the tiered pricing we've never bought the mugs. There is no value for us. Usually we drive so we already have bottled water and soda in the fridge. For quick meals at the resort we opt for water or buy individual cup of soda.

    Interesting Disney Parks Survey Question I got Today - Tiered Ticket Pricing by Season

    We were unhappy after our trip in Feb/March of this year and cancelled our annual 10 day trip. We aren't even going to FL this summer which is unusual for us. Usually we get the APs and hit it 3 times in a 12 month time period. Now with my husband's work it is almost impossible for us to know...

    BOATHOUSE ADR ON MOBILE

    well if it is going DDP expect some changes and not for the better. That is too bad as I think it would stand alone without being on the DDP. :(

    Specific MemoryMaker question?

    We checked our MM on the first night and had a few missing ride photos. It took some time but they were found. After that we stopped and scanned the band at the end of every ride just in case. it was much less time to do that quick tap and go than it was spending on the phone searching for...
