    Trip Report So we went to Disney again... - an August/17 trip report

    Good to know, thanks! Keeping my fingers crossed they have the one that I passed on last time! I've ordered Doctor Who, Star Wars, Harry Potter mash up tees for DH & I to wear, probably on HS day!

    Trip Report So we went to Disney again... - an August/17 trip report

    I love to see young (especially young female) Doctor Who fans. I was late to the party, but after binge watching on Sundays for the last few months I'm ready to start the last season of the 12th Doctor. I also saw a shirt at Epcot when we visited in May and didn't buy it. I'm regretting that...

    What Resort do you love to stay at? And which do you not enjoy as much?

    We are DVC members with a home resort of OKW so we love it there. We also really like Wilderness Lodge. I don't care if I ever stay at BLT again though, in fact, if the only DVC available was BLT, I'd rather rent the points and stay at POP again!

    HBD Lounge - wait times? Kids?

    There were kids there when DH & I went in May. Your wait will vary, depending on time of day (we were there late afternoon and there were only a couple of empty tables). I don't recall there being anything larger than a 4 top, so you may have to split up.

    Pre-Trip Our Pop Century Honeymoon!

    Another Michigander here! I haven't been to the UP in ages, but it's so beautiful there. I think you'll like flying out of GR, my cousins live there and they really like the airport. We haven't tried it since we live right in the middle between Flint & Detroit. Can't wait to read more planning...

    Trip Report So we went to Disney again... - an August/17 trip report

    Sounds like a great trip (so far). I have to say, I love your daughter's Doctor Who t-shirts!

    Trip Report Meet the Floridians

    So glad you are safe! My friend had to make a panicked last minute evacuation on Saturday from the Tampa area after the storm shifted course Friday night. Not easy with her collage age son and three Husky dogs in tow! Good decision on not using the dishwasher...

    Trip Report When can we do this again? A Fractal family Odyssey. *COMPLETED*

    Because most people don't understand the fact that unless you have a professional set up with large lighting and flashes, the flash is only good for an object a couple of feet away at most. Hence the number of people you see using a flash on dark rides or from the nosebleed seats at concerts!

    Dining plan question

    I just did a quick search for a group of 6 (I don't know the OP's party size) for the day before Thanksgiving at 6 PM. There are currently 25 single credit TS restaurants available that accept the DP. Changing to to a group of 4 increased availability to 32 restaurants. It might take some extra...

    GALS, I need your advice on footwear..

    IMO Brooks offer the best support, regardless of which style you choose. New Balance are usually pretty good too, but can run small in certain styles (I tried on a pair in my normal size this past weekend and my toes were really crammed up against the end of the shoe). Skechers, while squishy...

    Pre-Trip Good thing I like warm hugs...because it's going to be hot between all those people!

    This is a policy that has been in place for a while. I think to prevent people from hoarding ADRs. I wish it would let you have two for at least a short time while you decide which one you really want! In the past if we tried to book one ADR within two hours of one that we already had the site...

    Pre-Trip Good thing I like warm hugs...because it's going to be hot between all those people!

    Hi! Since you are going at such a busy time, I would suggest an earlier dinner on the night you want to see Fantasmic, if you can get one. We are going Oct 28 - Nov 4. We had an ADR at Sci-Fi, but then the group decided to add another person to our travel party and now I can't get a new ADR for...

    Deluxe dining plan opinions?

    DH & I just used the calculator on distripplanner.com last night and the only way we could work it out to use the deluxe plan and save money was to do a character meal almost every morning and a signature meal every night, just like you suggest. The savings would have been a "whopping" $62.00...

    Trip Report **Completed** It's My Birthday (and its a hot one...)!

    I am so glad to hear you enjoyed this meal! DH & I booked a dinner here for a "date night" on our next trip. We're calling it date night, but it's more an excuse to escape the chaos of traveling (for the first time) with extended family (including my MIL & FIL, who are divorced, SIL & her...

    Pre-Trip Good thing I like warm hugs...because it's going to be hot between all those people!

    I'm not sure how this approach would work with the motion sickness from rides, but when DH and I went on our first cruise we tried Dramamine ahead of time and discovered that it did make us really sleepy. While on the cruise we took the minimum dose each night before we went to bed. I had read...

    Corn dogs are coming to Sleepy Hollow

    I think they already have these. Pretty sure that I read in a trip report about someone getting them back in June.

    Trip Report Makin' Memories....One More Time! *COMPLETED*

    I totally understand what you're saying. To be honest, DH & I didn't really pay much attention to how Disney was promoting Pandora, we tried to stay away from as much information about it as possible. I was disappointed that there was not more information relating to the movie's message of...

    Trip Report Makin' Memories....One More Time! *COMPLETED*

    Watching Avatar in it's entirety would definitely help with the Pandora experience. I had never seen the movie, so when we were able to book the DVC preview I made a point to watch it. It's not my favorite movie by a long shot, in fact it was just ok and at some points I wasn't sure I was going...
