Interesting! Glad to know it's changed. But then again, by the time we'll be able to afford to go again, it may be changed again. Appreciate the info.

Wow...never expected 3 pages of posts! Thanks for all of your input and helping to put my experience in context. I think the biggest take-away from this (besides going at a terrible time) is that my expectations were way off, which is kind of what I figured. Over the years, I've developed the...

Slightly off-topic, but I went to the IPW site to see if I could register for one of these conferences someday to get into one of these parties and now I'm wondering what exactly this conference is. I looked around the website and what I can piece together is that there are sellers / exhibitors...

I’m going to start with the list of things I wish I would have known and then provide a little trip report and context for the list. Let me preface this by saying I did not do as much research for this trip as I have for other trips as I’m currently studying for the first step of my professional...

Just got back from my first trip to the DL. In terms of nighttime entertainment in general, I gotta say WDW has DL beat hands down. The lack of any nighttime entertainment during the week at DL just kills me (we found out the hard way). I liked the WoC show; it was definitely unique and...

We're at the Best Western Stovall's Inn right now. We're very happy with our choice. It's clean and was pretty cheap relatively speaking (104 a night). You can see the rollercoasters of DCA and the fireworks at DL from our balcony. It is a bit of walk to get to the actual entrance (maybe 10-15...

I set one of these up just a day or 2 ago, although my reason was a little different. I had a bunch of giftcards (some actual cards from Target and some e-giftcards I bought online at a discount) and this was the only way I could find to use them to buy park tickets. It worked fine for my...

Thanks for you help!! I'll just wait for the turnstiles then.

We'll be heading to DL for the first time after multiple visits to WDW over the years. I'm looking at buying park tickets online and am trying to figure out how the "eticket" delivery option works w/ fastpasses. I tried chatting with a rep on the Disney site, but they weren't terribly clear...

Quick money saving idea (that I think I got from another post on this board): You can buy Disney giftcards at Target that you can use to pay for your trip. If you have the Target Red card, you get 5% off. On top of that, you can buy Target giftcards from various internet sites at discount rates...

It's very interesting to me that such high priced sunglasses aren't locked up. Seems like it would be quite easy to go in and "exchange" an older, similar looking pair of one of these brands for a new pair just in the process of trying them on.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I've ever seen more than 1 person in a Sunglass Hut and most of the time it's empty. So on the upside, we've just gained a nice cool empty spot to get away from crowds.

I thought it was TERRIBLE. Part of my hate for it may have to do with expectations; I wanted to see my usual Disney Christmas parade while they offered a "Frozen Christmas Celebration" which I thought would just be a themed parade. Instead I got a series of uninspired performances, mostly by...

My family was in the MK on New Year's Eve a long time ago (I'm guessing late 80's; I was 8 or 9), so I'm not sure any of this experience is helpful / valid anymore, but I thought I'd share anyway. I remember the crowds were insane. My parents decided to give up on trying to watch the fireworks...

I proposed to my wife in May of 2012 at the Magic Kingdom. Neither one of us are the "romantic" type or big on public displays, so I was aiming to make it a surprise for her. I want to relate the whole story, because I really like it, so forgive me for going on. My wife and I had been...

Went last year with my wife when she was 25 wks pregnant with twins. We actually rented a wheelchair from a local medical device company. It was 30 dollars for the week and we were even able to get a lightweight one (made it a little easier for me to push) that was fitted to her. The airline...

I think there's a few other aspects of this situation to consider. Do you have any desire to go to Seattle (i.e. are you being excluded so she can go with her friends)? If you do, can you get the time off from work to go then? If the answer to either of these is no, then I think it weakens your...

In light of all the starbucks opening in the parks and the fireworks being sponsored by Pandora, anyone else worried this will re-open as a Supercuts?

We went last October and both thought it was one of the best places we've ever eaten. Neither one of us are steak people, so I can't comment about that. While the menu might have changed, in looking at the current one, I think my wife had the pumpkin raviolis and I'm pretty sure I had the apple...

Personally, I like it. Like others have said, it's not one I run to nor would I waste FP on it, but I go on it as I'm passing through Tomorrowland. I think it's better when you don't know what to expect.
