Exactly. Frozen was a "perfect storm" of marketable qualities. It had appealing characters for both girls and boys. It had the built-in Disney Princess brand. It was actually a good story. It was released just in time for the Christmas shopping season. Add to that the current rush to 'keep...

I've used Undercover Tourist for our last two trips to WDW. I chose the physical tickets via snail mail and received them within a week both times. Added them to MDE with no problem. I even upgraded from 5-day to 6-day at the hotel without zero hassle. I just compared the UT regular rates to...

A pro tip to anyone thinking of trying the fairways course: don't attempt it if it's a day with full sun and temps above 85. Been there, done that. It's a fun course, but those conditions made it absolutely brutal.

I think it depends what the girls are interested in. Aside from the Toy Story ride and The Great Movie Ride, you'd pretty much be looking at shows (Disney Jr, Beauty & the Beast, Frozen sing-along, and possibly Little Mermaid). If the girls (or you) are little foodies, Epcot will have the Food...

It's all about the age of the characters. The problem with these examples is that these characters are all supposed to be in their late-teens. So having a 20-something person portray a 17-19 year old isn't that much of a stretch. In fact, it happens on tv all the time. But having a...

I think I recall seeing a sign towards the end of the queue advocating 5 people can fit in a single ship: 3 adults and 2 children on laps. I looked at it and thought "NOPE".

I found a Rescue Rangers pin that I quickly decided to purchase. In terms of t-shirts, keep an eye out at Kohl's. They almost always have at least one Disney-themed design available in their (men's) graphic tees section. In fact, one of the shirts that I brought with me from Kohl's, I saw on...

We just got back from a Tuesday-Monday trip. We intentionally planned Epcot for Thursday (10/15). We started on the Canada side around noon. Nothing major, crowd-wise. By the time we worked our way around to Mexico (4-ish), there was a noticeable uptick in "oncoming traffic", but still...

As the previous poster mentioned, Olivia's is quite good. However, it's TS. So if you're looking for something faster, Good's around the corner is your only other option, and it's much more limited of a menu. Edited to remove like, as I completely forgot about the excellent section Steve...

I thought of a few other factors that could influence your decision. If you're not going until November 2017, the rates for Pop will most likely be higher than what you are seeing now for November 2015 or 2016. The rates for renting DVC points should remain relatively stable. And by then, the...

That's interesting. We were there last week, and I'm almost positive Chips weren't even listed. I recall looking specifically at the 'sides' menu, as I just wanted a snack, but didn't see them. Though I only looked once, and it was dinner time. So maybe they were temporarily sold out.

I would say, as long as you don't mind heights, that this is worth it to do at least once. Depending on how clear/sunny it is, you should be able to see pretty far. (I recall something about the discount vis-a-vis time of day, but not the specifics.) Here are some that I took back in 2013...

I also live between Logan and Green. We've flown out of both over the last few years. While Logan definitely has more options (airlines and times), I much prefer Green. When we've used Green, it's always been on Southwest. However, for our upcoming trip, we're flying JetBlue (first for me...

I am very rarely out in the sun for extended periods of time. So when I am, I tend to burn pretty easily. I read some consumer survey (probably Consumer Reports) and it had Equate (Walmart brand) SPF 50 Sport at the top. I gave it a try last month when I was outside all weekend in the direct...

Has anyone else had issues with the main My Itinerary / My Plans page of MDE being really wonky and out-of-date? I had previously made FP+ for two people at the 60 day mark. The other 4 in my party purchased their passes this past week, so I just went to copy the existing FP+ to the 4 new...

Am I just missing the sarcasm here?

A quick first-hand account of the various incarnations of FP: - 1998: Arrive at MK at 9:30am. Walk back to Splash. Wait in line for 2 hours. Move on to next ride. - 2011: Arrive at DHS at 9:30am. Power walk back to TSMM, get FP for 4:30pm, choose not to wait in 90 minute Standby line. - 2015...

Not quite. The chefs just aren't going to automatically come out when a reservation is flagged as having allergy concerns. From the article on the main site: "For any allergies that are not covered by the menu, or if you prefer to speak to a chef, that option remains available." So all this...

If this is only for guests on a package and using ME, I'll be disappointed. We haul our own luggage and drive our own (rental) car, and we get bupkis! :(

I usually get just the melon, since that is a rather unique flavor that is very rare to find. (Grocery stores in my area have a wide variety of flavors of Italian ice, but nothing close to melon.) A cup of shaved ice may not sound very substantial, and the size may look a little small, but...
