I am a pretty easy-going and non-judgmental person, but the main thing that gets me riled up is people who blame! I'm not talking about people who are seeking appropriate punishment when someone does something bad, but the ones who just have this need to place blame whenever something happens...

I grew up in New York. There is no threat of gators. These people are from Nebraska - there is no threat of gators. I did not get eaten by a crocodile or shark while in Australia because the signs were very clear about why you should avoid the water - because they realized that many tourists...

No matter what, you're going to have a great time :) I'm going in December this year, and about 5 years ago I went the first week in January. We had gorgeous weather most of the time - shorts and t-shirts, but not hot enough that we wanted to go in the pool - though they were definitely...

Sitting down to eat two full meals at Disney is actually a lot - and I say this as a foodie :) I am usually quite stuffed with one sit down meal and one quick service counter meal - I think sitting down for two table service meals would make it feel like I was only eating :) But the awesome...

True, but there's a huge difference in a "No swimming" sign that you assume is because there is no lifeguards and it's a liability to be in the water, and a "No swimming" with the assumption that you might get eaten by an alligator. The two aren't even close. I used to be a lifeguard, and when...

I would LOVE if they added more countries - the World Showcase has always been my favorite, ever since I was a kid. It was funny, when reading down the list of options I was like, "Nice, nice, nice - OH! India! Yes!". And then I had the same reaction when reading the comments - "OH! Greece...

The money thing is hard - but I can tell you that I've never regretted extra money I've spent on a vacation (within reason, of course - I'm not booking first class flights anywhere), especially when it comes to things that saves me time or makes my experience a bit smoother/more special. Do you...

The savings you get from Magic Express from the airport is nothing to sneeze at, either!

I've always been a fan of staying on property, both for the convenience and also for the ability to get swept up in the Disney magic. I think the only reason I'd choose to stay offsite was if I was really concerned about money, but I'm the type that scrimps and saves all year and then just...

Overstuffing at 'Ohana before MVMCP is one of my concerns, so I'm hoping that the the 3:45 reservation is early enough that I will be coming out of my food coma by 7pm. I figured if I'm having trouble moving, I'll just do a few laps on the monorail first, lol!

Thanks everyone - with all the rave reviews I knew that 'Ohana wouldn't be bad, but from reading the description I was just picturing bowls of food plopped on your table, like when I used to work at a summer camp. But they never gave us shrimp or dumplings! I'm excited to try it now - it's...

Well, my first time booking reservations at 6am on my 180th day was a success (including a bit of reshuffling at 8am when I read on here that you could/should book the QS for Be Our Guest). Thank you to everyone here - I would never have even thought to book this far in advance! I snagged a...

Thanks for the input, Rob - why risk food poisoning when there are so many other good options, lol! I don't remember being impressed with it when I was there - I think Raglan Road or Morimoto for lunch are higher up on my list. Well, we'll see for the chips, I mean ADRs, fall tomorrow ;)

Thanks - I am literally sitting down right now with a few blank week schedules, marking up some drafts with my first choices, and my alarm i set for bright and early tomorrow AM :) I am pretty flexible on most of my dates/times, and I'm actually going to try for lunch over dinner in man places...

Thanks! I called today after I read your response, and the person I spoke to said it was fine to use two TSCs for the paella dish, since it was made for two. But just because one person says it doesn't necessarily make it true, lol! I was kind of hoping you were right, because that would be a...

Thanks everyone! It looks like they are currently available through November, so if it's not available tomorrow, hopefully it should be soon. Looking forward to it!

That's great, thanks! I've been to Disney a bunch of times before, but this is the first time I've done this much planning and booking in advance. It's a little scary and exciting, lol! I know I'll have to wait a bit to book the Candlelight Processional,, but I wasn't sure how this worked...

You all have convinced me to try Mamas as well :) I'm going to book my ADRs tomorrow - I want to get the Fantasmic package, but I wasn't sure if they were available to book this far out. Can you normally book them when you are making your other ADRs? This is my first time booking at 180 days :)

I get to book my ADRs tomorrow, so I'm making my final selections. My mom and I have the free dining plan, and when I asked her for recommendations, she seemed really excited about going to Bongos. I think I was there about 10 years ago and don't really remember being all that impressed - does...

Thank you everyone! dmw, that link is a huge help! It looks like I should definitely aim for the Tuesday night because the other nights will likely be really crowded. It also looks like I have some time to order, if they only sell up in the week or so before each event. I'd want to buy my...
