    Sanity Check - Solo trip to WDW

    Through the magic of points and miles, I am taking a solo trip to WDW next month! My last trip to WDW was a family trip for MNSSHP in 2013. Planning a trip for a group is different than planning a trip for just me. Last time I was solo in WDW was in 1997 for a friend's wedding. Should I wear...

    Trip Report MAY THE SPORK BE WITH YOU!!! - a Kid-Free F&W Trip Report

    The parking lot lines are a small detail but one that brings back memories. I love when they really get the nuances of the decor. So, are you planning more kid-free vacations in the future?

    Trip Report MAY THE SPORK BE WITH YOU!!! - a Kid-Free F&W Trip Report

    Not everyone understands the wonderfulness that is iasw. I love the Mary Blair art and it makes me sad when they don't do upkeep on the ride. There were a lot of dolls missing on my last trip. Personally, I'm more of a Chip fan. :-) You know to much about WDW when you get phone calls like...

    Pre-Trip Ready to Show our Disney Side Without 'Em

    Thank you for tagging me. When I am not actively planning a trip, I read the boards less often so I don't make myself sad. Do you have the Transportation Trading Cards? Ask the monorail, bus and ticket window CMs for cards. It makes the crawl more adventurous. It is easier to get your fave...

    Planning a vacation to Tokyo DL.

    Yes, yes and yes! Hooray, more polite travelers. My only changes...People sit for the parades and shows. Plastic parade mats are available in the shops and in the Daiso (100 yen) stores. Best idea ever. I wish the American parks would adopt the sitting. The Japanese understand that, as...

    Trip Report There's Something About Mary...and it's called DRAMA!

    TDS Trip Report: The rides are shorter but the atmosphere is better. I was so busy soaking up the atmosphere, I didn't record (write down/take pictures) much of our trip. It's different but the same. More polite than the American parks but less friendly. DSCF0761 by ThatBrunette, on Flickr We...

    Trip Report There's Something About Mary...and it's called DRAMA!

    We did Tokyo DisneySea in April. That trip kept me busy with planning and packing. I highly recommend TDR for any Disney fan. Gorgeous parks and it is a thrill to hear the rides in Japanese. I don't speak Japanese but it was still nifty. :-) How do I find your Flickr feed? I like the pretty...

    Magic bands

    Yes, the bands are stiff and a bit clunky. I don't wear jewelry so it felt a bit weird for me. On the bright side, the bands make things a bit easier. We used them for the FastPass+, opening the hotel door and for getting in the parks. We did not use them for purchasing. Husband and the Boy had...

    Where to stay next????

    I should start a Pre-Trip thread for an imaginary vacation just for moms. We already do all the research, crafts and reservations. It would be the best planed trip ever.

    Where to stay next????

    If you are a Starwood member, the Swalfin is a great place to stay. There are special deals for members that include dining and child care within the two hotels. Husband is a Marriott member so they didn't care about us. :-P It's a decent hotel. I've got nothing bad to say about it/them. It's...

    Trip Report Will the Magic Happen for Me?

    If my parents find more WDW photos, I will have to plan a new trip and try to get more recreations! The boys were eating dinner when I went on iasw. I was tempted to ask the CM to get a picture of me getting in the boat but, after getting her response to a simple question, I wasn't sure if she...

    Trip Report Will the Magic Happen for Me?

    To counter Crappy PhotoPass Lady, we had the Extremely Sweet PhotoPass Guy in Frontier Land. I showed him my old photo and he said he would happily retake the picture. He then asked to see the other photos to see if he could help with more recreations. Tom Sawyer's Island was closed so, there...

    Trip Report Will the Magic Happen for Me?

    As for the experience with Chip and Dale, it was fabulous. Both C&D looked at my old photo through their eye-holes and did their best to pose themselves. They acted as if they were excited to help me recreate the scene. At the end of the session, Chip waved Dale over and both gave me a kiss. I...

    Trip Report Will the Magic Happen for Me?

    Jumping ahead to day two because I got the digital PP pictures. I dragged Husband and the Boy over to Camp Mickey Minnie to see Chip and Dale. I wanted to recreate a picture I took in 1977. I showed the picture to the handler. She loved it. I showed the picture to the photographer. She loved...
