    Wheelchair-Friendly Transportation

    I did contact Majestic Tours Bahamas and their rates were 1/2 the price that Accessible Travel Solutions quoted. I'm just leery about using a company I've never personalized used, nor have my colleagues. Thank you for the suggestion!

    Wheelchair-Friendly Transportation

    Hello all! It's been a long, long time since I posted, but I seem to be hitting a brick wall with the following inquiry: wheelchair-friendly transportation from the dock to Atlantis, Bahamas? I spoke with a DCL rep and she said that the guest must be somewhat mobile to use their transportation...

    How is mid February?

    As you get closer to President's Day (2/16), and the days following, crowd levels pick up dramatically. We ventured a trip down Feb. 7-15, 2014 and found pleasant weather (light jackets every morning & night) & low crowds near the beginning of our trip…it was a different story as that...

    Paying off trip using Disney gift cards

    When trying to pay a balance off online, you're only allowed to enter two forms of payment. I had to call reservations directly to pay off the balance because I had a whopping 32 - $50 gift cards (it was a trip comprised of extended family). Took a while, because we missed one, but it was...

    T'land Dessert Party during MVMCP

    Hi All! Even though we leave TOMORROW evening for our trip to WDW, I've been checking to see if there are any dining reservations available for some of the more popular restaurants….welp, it continues to be a bust (I'm not terribly worried at all about securing a sit-down meal at this point)...

    Couple of arrival day questions

    Between the MB and MDE, having an actual park ticket is optional, nice to have, but optional. Have you linked your ticket to your MDE account yet? If so, you can skip the Will Call process, because your ticket info will be connected to the MB allowing you to stroll up to a park upon arrival...

    DVC Park Tickets + 1-day tickets

    I did the math, and although it worked out in my in-law's favor, they want to spend a bit extra and go with a 3-day PH with the option of adding on a day while we're down there. Because of where we are staying (BCV), they would like the option to wander in and out of EP at their leisure…...

    DVC Park Tickets + 1-day tickets

    Thanks! It still comes out cheaper to buy the 4-day + 1-day + MVMCP tickets. DVC has some strict regulations on the 4-day ticket promo: 1. Can only visit each park once. 2. Only one park per day. 3. Cannot add PH or more days. 4. Can apply toward an AP. 5. First use must be by May 15th (or...

    DVC Park Tickets + 1-day tickets

    Hi All! Quick, but somewhat complicated question: If I purchase the 4-day NON PH ticket that's being majorly discounted via DVC (not the greatest of DVC perks, but a perk none-the-less), can I ALSO purchase a 1-day EP ticket and use them in tandem? Back story, my in-laws are thinking about...

    Spa Etiquette...

    My MIL, cousin-in-law, and myself were treated to a morning at the Senses Spa across from GFV on Valentine's Day this year! We LOVED it! But we had nothing else to compare it to considering this was the first time for all of us getting pampered! Here's how our morning went: -Arrived 40 min...

    Thank you so much for the pics! I've been searching all over online for pics of the studio refurbs!

    The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian

    I, and several others, will concur with you: there is absolutely NO RAMP outside the resort entrance to the monorail station. The only outdoor ramp leading to a monorail station is at the TTC. It's either use the elevator or stairs, both of which are only located inside the resort lobby (same...

    FP+ at MNSSHP

    Sorry to bump up this thread, but I want to reassure my relative with the correct information, but a quick backstory first: -My cousin will be visiting WDW for 2 days/1 night stay at an All Star resort (a surprise visit for her family after a Dreamworks Cruise), and in lieu of buying a park...

    Frontier Airlines?

    I've flown with Frontier for 2 RT flights thus far, and both were good onboard experiences. However, I do not store anything in the overhead bins (even before they started charging), and like my items within arms reach (except for my checked bag stuff, obviously). I also buy or bring my own...

    Bathrooms/potty-training

    I've taken 2 kids to WDW during various stages of potty training, and here's what I learned: -bring flushable wipes (which was already mentioned) -seat covers or a foldable potty seat cover (read reviews first) -extra undies & pull-ups AND extra pants/shorts & socks (throw 'em in a gallon...

    Credit Card Fraud

    I almost forgot about charging items to your room via MB (probably because they're not always reliable…note outage last weekend). But, at least this gives you another option: charge things to your room via MB, and come the end of your trip, pay it off, either with the credit card you left on...

    Wilderness Lodge or Grand Floridian

    We've stayed at both resorts, with our most recent trip in February at the GFV. Here's what I suggest: -If this is going to be your last trip for a number of years, I might splurge for the GFV! My family and I loved the decor, in-room luxuries, and being in a monorail resort. The villas are...

    Credit Card Fraud

    What about purchasing some Disney gift cards? They're available at Target & Sam's Club, or you could wait until you arrive and purchase some at your resort gift shop. Don't put ALL your cash into gift cards though, just in case a vendor doesn't accept them. Your other option, a pre-paid Visa...

    Dining Plan credits I bought, should be my choice on how to use them

    I've never tried with a TS meal credit because we participate in the QS meal plan. In June 2013, I stood at the Boardwalk Pizza window and treated 3 guests (and their families) to a large pizza, 2 drinks & 2 desserts = 2 QS meals x 3 = 6 QS meals used. My family and I just could not get thru...

    Dining Plan credits I bought, should be my choice on how to use them

    @DisneyDebNJ When and where was the last time you tried to "treat" someone? I am very much aware of the "rules" with the DDP, but I, too, liked to treat another guest instead of letting the credits expire! We recently went in February, and I would place our 9-party QS meals using only my MB…or...
