    Worried!

    We honeymooned at Disney in '98. We did 2 days at the contemporary, 3 day disney cruise and then back to the poly for 5 days before we were supposed to head to Hollywood Fl. Well, Hurricane season hit. It rained before we left on the cruise. (We still laugh about the horrible state of the wet...

    Do you ever feel like you weren't meant to go on your trip?

    I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. I'm hoping that things will brighten for your birthday and upcoming trip! I feel your pain though, I feel like a dark cloud has been following me since the summer started! Good luck!

    Annual Passes Question

    If you go for a week or longer and then come back again for another week before they expire it can be cheaper than regular tickets when you factor in other discounts. For example, I saved $1300 on my hotel reservation with an AP discount. The AP will cost me about $250 more than the 10 MYW...

    To Croc or not to Croc?

    I had broken my toe (big one) a couple of years ago, three weeks before 10 days at Disney. I wore my sneakers on the plane that I had been wearing around at home with no problems. Between swelling from the flight and the first day walking around I was in agony. I bought a pair of the black...

    Photopass - Quality & Accessibility?

    We pre-ordered the CD in December. There were definitely more blurry pictures than I would've liked, but the number of good shots made it more economical to have the CD anyway. Single shots are really expensive. My suggestion would be to pre-purchase the CD, get as many shots taken as...

    Disneyland Paris ?

    Count me as another with info from the early/mid 90's...but we stopped in the hotel which is at/over the park gate and had a drink while watching people exiting the park. Do it at night, it's really pretty. The parade was spectacular compared to the ones here too, the one back then easily...

    Going to Disney on a shoestring budget

    It can really vary. You have to be quick before the cheap seats are gone. Plus parking here is killer. We do our best to rope a family member into taking us :).

    Going to Disney on a shoestring budget

    Four of us are flying NY to Orlando on Southwest in December for $821.60 as of now. I booked the first sale day that my dates were available (tickets were $1000 and change). I've reduced them down to the $821.60 over time. I keep checking to see if they go lower. We can use the credits...

    Summer 2012 NYC cruiser roll call!

    We're doing the August cruise to nowhere! We honeymooned on, I think, the Wonder in 1998. This will be like a test run for the kids (they'll be 10 & 6 then). If all goes well we'll do one that goes to Castaway Cay with them. This is a much cheaper way to see if they like cruising. I love...

    Most Random question ever re: Tangled Meet and Greet

    I thought that I saw somewhere that Flynn will still appear at the special ticket events? I had another thought too...what if your child is dressed as Rapunzel? (My 5 yr old wants to dress as Rapunzel for dinner at the castle at MVMCP. It would be appropriate for him to sign as Eugene then...

    Reservations for Mid-December?

    Rose & Crown was booked for 12/10, the entire day, 180 days out, at 6am. Apparently the Processional packages are supposed to be lunch this year (according to the CM I spoke too). Aside from R&C we got pretty much everything we wanted. LE Cellier wasn't when we wanted it, but we got...

    hddr oddity

    I was unable to make online reservations for Cape MAy on 12/20, the 10th day of my 180+ 10. There were no reservations loaded online for any restaurants that day, I waited until 7am and made them over the phone.

    Slightly overcharged by Disney today

    I had that happen to me checking in at the YC a couple years ago. To make matters worse, the front desk called and left me 2 urgent messages telling me my credit card had been declined and freezing my room key.

    How Much Do You Tip at Buffets?

    Unless we have bad service, we always add to the tip to bring it back to what it would've been before the discount. Regardless of type of restaurant, the servers are all getting paid the same. I think they tend to understaff the buffets, making them much harder to work. As I've gotten older...

    Dinner with Cindy...what to wear?

    We always go with a princess dress and then we bring a tee and pants/shorts for after dinner. When we were there in December they had costume skirts for the princesses. We bought an Ariel one, of course this December she wants to be Rapunzel.
