    What to do about people taking flash pictures on rides.

    Sorry to say, but in my opinion, you were wrong to do what you did. Don't misunderstand, the lady taking pictures was wrong as well. And if you had stopped at one correction, I'd probably be on your side. But your continued commenting was undoubtedly just as distracting to the others in your...

    American Idol in DHS

    Excellent! I predicted it would only take 5 posts. Thanks for helping me win the bet!

    What to do about people taking flash pictures on rides.

    There is a third option, as some have already alluded to.....it's an accident. I had this happen to me in the Journey Into Imagination. I was intending to take pictures without the flash, but it was a new camera and I had the wrong setting. I tried several times to fix it, but I couldn't see it...

    Bravo! Finally, someone who gets it.

    New United Baggage Policy

    Yes, I do Yes, usually two pairs per person (more, if you count flip-flops and stuff) Actually yes, to both questions. I don't care which I use, but my wife prefers the stuff from home. Nebulizers, no. Hair dryers, hair spray (again, for my wife!) Medications, not many, but vitamins...

    New United Baggage Policy

    Agreed. But remember, that's one checked bag for EACH PASSENGER, not one for the entire party. Surely you shouldn't need more than 4 checked bags for a family of four..... You missed the point. No one said you had to pack everything in your carry-on. You are allowed one checked bag per...

    Is there such a thing as too prepared?

    Have a plan, enjoy making the plan and then be prepared to throw the plan out the window when you get there if need be. It's all good!

    New United Baggage Policy

    You know, I've never really understood this problem. I've got no problem with this policy, as long as they enforce the carry-on size rules so no one can stuff the compartments with extra crap that they really don't need anyway.. I've travelled quite a bit and I cannot imagine having to take so...

    Admit it- You look out for Hidden Mickeys

    My 5 year old (now 6) quickly became very good at spotting them, even when we missed them (although we did not obsess!) :)

    Dinosaur...Is it worth it?

    DINOSAUR is my absolute favorite ride in AK and in my Top 2 for all the parks!! (Haunted Mansion still #1!!) I agree that it would be nice to have more rides in the park, but GEEZ, isn't the thing already spread out enough? I think Disney found that a "big zoo" just wasn't enough, which is...

    Should I book my trip online, by phone or with a travel agent?

    Travel Agent, definitely. I used AAA and everything was perfect and problem-free!! But other agencies specialize in that, too. If you book on your own, then you have no possible recourse if someone screws something up. Plus, these people do this for a living!! Use the internet, etc...

    Disney Grad Nite Changes

    I don't think you're wrong. I think you're excatly right that they will be unhappy. But I also knowthat the rest of the world in the other parks will be FAR happier!!

    If child is lost

    I agree on the ID/information Tag. We put one inside our daughter's shoe and told her that if she got separated from us, the first thing she should do is find a cast member (person with a nametag)--or even another Mom with kids--and tell him/her she is lost. Then she should take her shoe off...

    Disney's Half-A***D Approach

    To the "OP": Well, you certainly are frustrated and no one understands the frustration of job seeking on a dodgy or difficult-to-navigate website better than I do! Not to mention no contact with actual humans. I can relate. And while Disney as a company is far from perfect, I think you are...

    Trip Insurance Advice?

    Definitely buy it!! We have used Access America, which was recommended by AAA, three times now. It was under $100 to cover 2 adults and one child. It also covers medical expenses that are not covered by your insurance, losses due to luggage problems, airline delays, etc. On one trip, the...

    2 Questions

    When we went to the Princess Breakfast, Cinderella was there, of course (they say she is always at the breakfast--you see her before you enter). We also saw Belle, Jasmine, Snow White and Fairy Godmother.

    Quite frankly...that big golf ball thing is blocking the traffic flow more than anything else. Maybe they should get rid of it.

    Thankyou to the US goverment- "I am going to Disney World"

    And that's perfectly fine and understandable....but that's why you ended up in the long queue with everyone else. All I'm saying is that the Passport people are not to blame for your (or anyone else's) desire to postpone applying. After all, it's not as if they didn't publicize the heck out...

    Thankyou to the US goverment- "I am going to Disney World"

    November of 2006, which was two months before the law went into effect in January of 2007. If you waited until February of 2007 to apply, then it is not surprising you got caught in the landslide of waiting. I'm not defending the government's red tape or slowness in any way, just pointing out...

    Leave a Legacy Steals Souls!

    While it is true that Cooleo's avatar may be indicative of his possible bias (or not), it is also likely that your posting of this picture is indicative of yours and the "99.9% of the others" that you claim to speak for: that nothing should ever change at Disney and everything should remain...
