    PHOTOS - The Market at Ale and Compass now open at Disney's Yacht Club Resort

    I just took a walk down there for coffee. It looks and feels very incomplete. Lots of blank white walls with no decorative or architectural detail whatsoever. They have to be adding artwork or something at a later date. HAVE TO. When you first walk in, you see a table full of Disney...

    Sandcastle Club

    My sister and I left our kids (7, 5, and 3) there just last night. First time for all of them. They loved it! We dropped them off at 4:45 and had to drag them out at 10 p.m. There were video games, all manner of toys, art supplies, Disney movies, and a rack full of princess dresses. They...

    Where do you stash your phone? Ladies, suggestions

    Sure! I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000OEN4Z0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494937381&sr=8-1&pi=AC_UL420_SR280,420_QL65&keywords=neck+wallet+navy If your daughter doesn't like this one, search up neck wallets on Amazon. There are TONS of styles. I like this one because it's...

    Guest services texting guests?

    Semi-related: I got this text out of nowhere on Sunday. I am on property, but I had no need to respond, so I didn't.

    Pre-Trip I can't get into this trip.

    @GenerationX , I'm like that too! I'm happy to say that the pixie dust has kicked in. I'm paying more attention to the little details than ever. When my mind starts wandering I can find 20 other things to re-focus it on. I think I just need to never go back home! ;)

    How young is too young?

    I think it just depends on what you can handle as parents. Diapering and feeding and transportation and naps are an extra hassle with babies and very young children, but if you're up for it, just go. My family brought my niece when she was 1 1/2. No lie, it was rough, but that was partly...

    Where do you stash your phone? Ladies, suggestions

    A little zipper phone pouch that goes around my neck. It has a couple other pockets, so I carry my ID and lip balm in there, too. It's easy to pull out to check the time or whatever, plus I can feel it vibrate if I'm somewhere too loud to hear it ring. I can't go phone-less because my family...

    Pre-Trip I can't get into this trip.

    Thank you all so much for your kind words. I'm here relaxing at the Poly with some hot chocolate (it's CHILLY here!). It was a hectic day but we're here. It looks like my dog is going to be fine at home with some antibiotics, and our kids were happy and illness-free since last night, so I'm...

    Pre-Trip I can't get into this trip.

    I don't post a lot here, but I read nearly every day. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I leave tomorrow morning for WDW and I wish I wasn't even going. I wonder if any of you have any suggestions to get me into that magical mood. I'm going with my 7 year old, my dad, my brother, my...

    1 night stay-where?

    I would do AoA or AK. AoA is a lot of fun, especially for little kids. It's definitely not deluxe but the atmosphere is great. The food court there and at Pop (walkable) are very good, really nice pools with a splash pad for your kids, and the family suites are colorful and comfortable. It...

    Favorite buffet

    Lots of Ohana love here and I'm no different. Better than a buffet, because you don't have to keep getting up! My breakfast favorite is 1900 Park Fare. The character interaction is great, but I don't love the ambiance and I've never met a friendly CM there, for some reason (breakfast only...

    Choosing a resort

    @Jakesky40, you might want to check out this thread about everything that's going on with the YC lobby: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/yacht-club-enhancements.925256/#post-7617888 (I'm sorry if that didn't link correctly!). I don't know how much that all matters for you. YC is my favorite...

    Disney testing new Express Fresh in-room dining

    I hadn't even thought of that angle, but now that you mention it... I could be all wrong, but I really think a service like this is appealing to someone who is working, on the go, and doesn't want to deal with a long walk/long waits at the resort QS. Especially someone who often stays at...

    Disney testing new Express Fresh in-room dining

    I'm inclined to agree with you, but this type of service is probably very appealing to convention-goers. I'm guessing Disney thinks so too, based on where they're testing this out. Most likely it will arrive faster than traditional room service, and it's wrapped/portable. Counter service is...

    Disney Yacht Club

    They're refurbishing the Yacht Club guest rooms, and construction noise could be an issue (saws, hammering and such). It's not nearly as extensive as what's going on at WL. Common areas at YC will not be affected (meaning you likely won't even see construction equipment or vehicles or...

    Cape May vs Chef Mickey - Last Day

    I've done both breakfasts and Cape May has been much more enjoyable. You won't see Mickey, but the food is far better (and more varied). The atmosphere is more relaxing and less rushed. I usually get a breakfast reservation on the later side and the character interactions have been lengthy...

    Ohana: Dinner or Breakfast?

    It's worth a try! They're very different experiences. Food-wise, it's probably my least favorite character breakfast, but it's always a fun time. The characters are great, kids get maracas and can join a little parade around the restaurant every half hour or so, and the POG juice is...

    1900 park fare

    They're very different experiences. Breakfast characters are Pooh, Tigger, Alice, Mary Poppins, and the Mad Hatter. Dinner is Cinderella with her prince, stepmother and stepsisters. Lots of face characters so the interaction can be great at either meal. I do the latest breakfast slot every...

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    I'm another one who swam in those waters with my siblings as a child. I remember Goofy and Pinocchio water skiing onto the beach for photo ops with guests. I just stayed at GF with my sister's family last month. Her kids are also 4 and 2 years old. They are tiny little best friends, and I...
