I know of a couple people who smoked away without penalty on their balconies at CR and WL. Neither one was caught or even knew it was against the rules until I told them so later. I’ve found makeshift ashtrays on balconies that housekeeping overlooked, also. The smoking policy is buried in the...

My coordination-challenged 9-year-old only spilled his drinks on himself 5 times last week in WDW due to the lack of lids. S’okay—I don’t dress him in light colors ever, and it was so hot that he dried quickly every time. Straw dispensers were in abundance everywhere except the markets at Yacht...

YES. My oh my. I arrived last Saturday and I didn’t expect this kind of heat. The CMs have been saying that it’s hotter than it was all summer. We’ve sweated buckets, and I know I’ll never be able to talk my family into a September trip ever again! But yesterday was way less hot, and I’m hoping...

Yes. What @networkpro said. You can delete it, but you might not have luck replacing it with another attraction around that same time slot, especially because the earlier FP times seem to disappear first.

I was thinking of this area that I’ve circled. I remember it always being so crowded. Then again, when I walked further into Adventureland this week I remembered there used to be a different DSA on the benches near the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse; that one was even more ill-planned...

IMO, there are plenty of out of the way spaces for DSAs in the parks and resorts. Places you’d have to actively seek out in order to find. If this new Tomorrowland DSA is where I’m thinking it is, it’s tucked out of the way, and if a non-smoker stumbles into it, well, they can find another spot...

@pjkdog , I just peeked at the current WL and Contemporary maps, and you’re right—there are very few smoking areas. There were definitely more the last times I stayed at those resorts (3 and 4 years ago). I assume it just has to do with the resort-wide cutting of DSAs, which is nice for...

Eating for a week at WDW costs the same as if I ate out for a week at home. It costs more than cooking, but not more than eating out anywhere else. My family of 5 went to the movies last week — a large popcorn, 2 large drinks, one order of pretzels, and 3 kids packs (which include popcorn...

I do the whole extended family’s laundry once or twice on a weeklong trip. Sometimes I get up early and do it, and sometimes I do it during pool time. I don’t mind. I get to have some me time while doing everyone a favor. I get that some people are strongly against doing laundry on vacation...

I remember a brief, shining moment in spring of 2016 when Cape May tested a made to order mimosa/Bloody Mary bar in that very same spot (where the desserts are set up at dinner time). Much to my disappointment, that bar didn’t last long and was gone before my next trip. I know, I know—you can...

Oh, darn. I knew I should have added a disclaimer to that one, since I haven’t been there for breakfast since May ‘17 and I was pretty sure I hadn’t seen one then or in years previous. Where is the omelet making area set up?

I really love both, so this is a hard question. The food offerings are great at both, but I’d give the edge to 1900 Park Fare. There’s a slightly larger food selection at 1900 (plus custom omelets and eggs, which Cape May doesn’t offer). Also, face characters — Mary Poppins is always a delight...

Generally the resort will try to keep you in the same room, because it’s easier on you and on housekeeping. You won’t know til you’re there, though, because nothing is guaranteed. Once you book the first night through whatever travel site, call WDW and let them know that you have the two...

With young kids or older people, I think a midday break is the way to go. Even if it’s not crazy hot, it’s still really hard to be out, walking, going from attraction to attraction all day. They need that downtime. Yes, it’s a hassle to leave a park, but it’s worth it for those few hours of rest...

Why oh why oh why is CR so expensive this go around, and why is it excluded from free dining? I didn’t even want free dining, but I’ve been waiting on pins and needles for the room only discount, and it’s severely underwhelming. I booked it but it’s nagging at me that the GF is $100 less per...

I read a lot of reports about this on various sites and boards today. Everything I read said a CM eventually came on the line. You’re not the only one experiencing it! Good luck!

I love split stays so much that I make my 10-person traveling party do them every trip! @Weather_Lady gave you excellent advice. How you plan and pack before you even leave home will make your split stay seamless. Organize all your belongings into packing cubes and Ziploc bags. I pack...

This is disappointing (and surprising, considering that Lilo's Playhouse got that big overhaul just a few years ago). Those centers are a blast for kids, and a great way for parents to enjoy some of the more adult-oriented places on property. I'd never use the in-room babysitting service...

The Mickey domes at Beach Club Marketplace, and the mini pistachio cheesecakes at Cape May Cafe. My two favorite desserts, gone. :cry: I also miss the old menu at Pecos Bills, but I've fallen in love with the nachos and fajitas on the new menu, so it's a toss-up.

Disney World is the only place where I'd rather interact with humans than take the technological way out. In real life, I'll choose apps and kiosks and self-checkout every time. I see why lots of people love online check-in. My main reason for not using it is because I always have room...
