    Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

    One thing about the photo session - you get photo prints with the $175 version, but you can also go over there for the photo session without the expensive package and have the photos saved to you PhotoPass. We did this and the girls had blast acting like princesses for the camera. We ended up...

    Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

    My daughters have done this twice, but only the hair, makeup and nails both times. The first time I was going to buy them the costume and they complained they were too itchy so I ended up buying them sundresses that could be used over and over again. The last time was in Oct and we were going to...

    Pressed Pennies/Pressed Quarters

    On our last flight I just made sure I didn't put it into any containers, but left it free flowing in a baggie. One year I had it in the M&M container and got pulled for an extra search because they could not identify it. Lesson learned.

    Pressed Pennies/Pressed Quarters

    They are still everywhere. I usually save my change for months and put the quarters in a mini-M&M case. Works great to keep all the quarters together. Also save the shiniest pennies...I forgot that the first year and had tons of quarters, but no pennies.

    Character Dining?

    O'Hana at Polynesian for Breakfast has Mickey, Lilo and Stitch. The other characters come and go, but we have seen Goofy, Pluto and Chip and Dale there as well. Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary is pretty good for any meal.

    When do schools across the US let out for summer?

    Southern Indiana - We usually start around the second week of August (15-20th range) and go to the third week in May. Four snow days are worked into this calendar - if we have snow they they go those days, if not then they get them off. We usually only get 2-3 days for snow each year - so far...

    When do schools across the US let out for summer?

    We get out May 25th, so that week would be crowded for us.

    Snowglobe worries....

    The price for shipping has gone up. Here are the charts I found: http://allearsnet.com/tp/mailorder.htm. We learned the hard way since shipping was affordable a year ago. We stayed at Poly this year. We went to the Boutiki and asked for a box. We packed our own items in it and took it to the...

    Is pirates of the carribean now a fast pass ride?

    The last week of October wait times were 5-10 minutes. It was wonderful to not have to wait, but we throughly loved the ride. No FP.

    ? how early can you enter MK For MVMCP

    For MNSSHP it was 4:00. We had to use our regular tickets to get in and then at 4:00 we could go to the Rose Garden or Castle to get our bracelets. The parks are open until 7:00 for regular guests so they have early seatings still available. I would call and reschedule it unless you are willing...

    Change to Cinderella Dinnner Package

    We received the litho and a family picture with Cinderella. Both girls got blue wands with stars at the end - while nice, they are pretty cheap and easily dented. Cinderella's Royal Table is printed on the handle, but that is already wearing off. They also got stars with Wishing Star printed on...

    Now I can start packing!!

    We just got back and had a similiar issue. I put on T-shirts on everyone with a sweatshirt covering it. Then jeans. Packed shorts in the carry on. I also took the winter coats, but we left them in the vehicle in the parking garage. You really only have to worry about getting from the terminal...

    Does anyone throw out their mugs at WDW once your vacation is over?

    I haven't thrown away any mugs, but I can't say we use them much. I am waiting for my basement to be finished so I can put them on a shelf behind a bar some day....dreaming... The popcorn buckets get reused continuously. I pop corn for the kids and let them use them instead of trying to find...

    Anyone win anything yet?

    Didn't win anything last week and really did not see the Dream Team. Only saw them once as I was going on It's A Small World and when we got off everyone at Peter Pan had Fast Passes. Not negative because I had a magical trip anyway...I just wanted one to scrapbook for fun :)

    Last week was great!!

    Just got back yesterday and we had the same thing. Fantasyland would have 5 minute ride waits up until lunch time. It was great and not crowded at all. Even MNSSHP on the 24th was a low crowd. We did all of MK, fireworks, parade and trick or treating from 5-11:30 - it was awesome (except for the...

    Would you mind helping a newbie out?

    MVMCP - don't go on Friday or Saturday - locals like to come and they are crowded. We just got back and did MNSSHP on a Tuesday night and it was not even close to being crowded. We did the entire park, trick or treated, saw the parade and fireworks. It was incredible. Never say it is too...

    Hoop-de-doo Reservation showing on debit card?

    I have DDP and was asked for a credit card for CRT and Storybook Princess Breakfast. They asked first if I was on the DDP and after that they just said it was in case I did not cancel with 48 hours of the reservation that I would be charged. Not a single penny has been paid for these two...

    Why do things like this happen???

    Glad to hear you had a good time. On Wednesday, someone pulled in front of me and I could not miss them. Nobody was hurt and I had very little damage, but his is going to need some work. He got ticketed for failing to yield the right of way. I thought of this thread after it was over...we...

    What to do on your first day at WDW if it's raining all day?

    I understand...we are coming in on Oct 21 and it is 40% of PM T-Storms. Originally planned on chilling by the pool, and hitting the Food and Wine Festival for supper...may make an afternoon of it in EPCOT instead. Looking at weather.com the 28th only has a 10% chance of showers now and a hi of...
