Whatever flotation device they use to swim at home. You can borrow life jackets at the pools, but the kids in my family were better swimmers in water wings or puddle jumpers. Also, I keep some Ziploc bags in my park bag to hold their leftover counter service meals or snacks they couldn't...

I ate there twice last month and there was a crepe station. This is a new addition since my last visit in May 2015, along with a new mimosa/Bloody Mary bar. If, however, the crepe station is removed before your visit, it's doubtful that the kitchen will make them upon request. Always worth...

They were all over the dock at YC at night. I tried to tell myself they're not like the ones you see in the northeast but...roaches are roaches and I did run away every time I saw them!

Just got back last night and I have to agree, I did encounter a lot more mosquitoes than on past trips. They were especially bad around the marina at GF, but we got bit pretty badly in Epcot around the water a few nights. I always bring bug spray just in case, but this was the first time I've...

Another vote for Y&BC. I stayed there often with my family when I was a kid, and everything about it feels like coming home. I get a peaceful, happy feeling walking into Epcot from BC. I love the landscaping, the music, the water--it's just a perfect place. And of course, the tunnels into...

I won't stay at WL again. I was wowed as I drove up and as I walked into the lobby, but after a day the resort wore on me. I didn't feel like I was in Florida, which is important to me when I go to WDW (but I didn't realize that until it was too late). Cast was phenomenal in every way, and...

I love Old Navy's tie waist linen shorts. No belt loops, but they're elastic waist and lightweight and super comfortable. The Gap outlets near me sell a similar elastic waist short in a cotton blend, with belt loops. They're around $20 both places. Good luck!

No, it doesn't matter who ships it, you're just charged upon pickup. It's a storage/handling fee because the convention resorts have to deal with so much extra mail. The CMs have some leeway with it, though, and that's probably why you weren't charged. Losing or breaking my cell in WDW is...

The handling fee is mainly for heavy or bulky items and is usually listed right on the item description. I've ordered formula and drinks from Target before and never been charged an extra fee. One note, though--if you are shipping to a resort that has a convention center, you'll be charged for...

The AoA pool is one (huge) body of water. Stormalong Bay is more like a sprawling pool complex. You can only see one or two sections at a time. In some areas you have to get out and cross a bridge or a path to get to another section. The area of SB most suitable for kids is on the YC side...

These are the same ladies who wear 4-inch heels to the parks. They confuse me. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt--maybe their traveling companions surprised them with a visit to WDW? They MUST have gotten dressed and made up thinking they were going somewhere fancy, but oops, no...

No, no one has reported being given an explanation.

I follow a thread on another forum about this refurb. Only a few villas were refurbished this year. All further work has been put on hold and Disney isn't saying when it will start again.

@Innkeeper's Club , that's probably where I'll go just to be on the safe side. Thanks! :)

I think the prices are reasonable. I go to county fairs and NJ boardwalks and Great Adventure and Sesame Place every summer. The food isn't less expensive at those places, and it's usually not as good as WDW. Also, WDW portions are far larger than the norm, IMO, and CMs keep everything...

Oh, mannnnnn...I didn't even stop to think that no more Hess meant no more DD. I hope I like Speedway coffee. Thanks for all the help, everyone!

Staying at POR! My first moderate. I've never even visited but I've been curious since it was Dixie Landings. Trying breakfast at Kona and dinner at Via Napoli. I might man up and ride Test Track for the first time this trip. Might.

We had to be evacuated off GMR in May. We were right next to the Sigourney Weaver AA. There was a fire in the building so they shut off the ride and most of the lights. Let me tell you, a non-moving Ripley is even creepier than a moving Ripley. We were right next to an exit which was sort of...

You can do everything you want to do at Hollywood Studios in a half day. What time is the Sci Fi reservation? I personally like the nighttime atmosphere at MK better than HS, so I would do HS as early as possible. For Saturday, I would pick Epcot over AK in a heartbeat. Spend the first part...

Hi all! I'm wondering if driving to the Speedway station near DTD involves getting mired in DTD traffic. I'm landing on a Thursday around 1:30 and need to stop somewhere for water and juice and stuff before I check in to POR at 3. I've never stayed over that way before or visited that Hess...
