    runDisney races - out with the old, in with the new?

    I had just convinced my non-running husband to do Everest with me in 2014, too. Go figure! Maybe he'll do a Star Wars 5k.

    runDisney races - out with the old, in with the new?

    My guess is that they'll replace Everest with a Star Wars race weekend.

    No fastpasses available today?

    We were really aggravated during our trip earlier this month. Our resort started the test during our trip, so we did not use the bands. Lines for Pirates & HM were 35+ minutes all week. I asked the CM at Pirates how I could get a FP for Pirates without MB and she said "you can't. You can go...

    How do you increase distance????

    If you go to the runDisney site, there are Jeff Galloway training plans right in there. If you're doing a specific Disney race, it even tells you which day each run should be on. Or you can just google different training plans for whatever length you are moving up to and choose which one suits...

    Disney Fantasy in Port?

    According to Vessel Finder, she's in the Bahamas, north of Nassau. Maybe there's an issue with the Marine Traffic site?

    How easy is it to use DVC points for RCI property?

    I love DVC and it works for our family, but I would not buy in based on the availability of RCI trades. Up until a few years ago, we were able to trade with a different company (Interval International). You never know if/when DVC will no longer have a partnership with RCI. It is not a...

    Visiting end of Jan 2013

    We've been booked for a while to go Jan 12-19. It's our first time, but we go to WDW at least once a year. We live in NY so it costs about twice as much to go to CA as FL. Haunted Mansion is also closed for us until the 17th. We're contemplating switching to WDW but I'm trying to stay...

    Little help-Shutters? Sanaa? Kona?

    Sanaa is incredible. The food is unique, the restaurant is beautiful and you have stunning views of the animals. I haven't eaten at Shutters. Kona was good, but we had a bad experience a few years ago and haven't been back. Server issue, not a food issue.

    kidani village check in

    Like PP said, don't miss Sanaa! Also, they're currently testing a continental breakfast at Sanaa, featuring pastries, coffee, tea, juice, cereal, etc. Nothing special, but an alternative to heading to the Mara.

    kidani village check in

    Kidani has it's own check-in and concierge. If you're taking DME, they will drop you off there. Kidani also has it's own fitness center (Survival of the Fittest) located near the pool and Maji bar. It's a quick walk to Jambo, about 5-8 minutes. It can be HOT though because most of it's...

    Anybody Done These Port Adventures???

    We did the St. Thomas Skyride on a Carnival cruise. It is a MUST do! The views are incredible. We did it on our own. Walked to it from the port, paid and went up. You can spend as much time as you want up there. We did Magen's Bay that same day (gorgeous) and a catamaran cruise w/snorkel...

    DVC tipping mousekeeping

    Trash & towel would be on the fourth day, full cleaning is on day 8. Since you're checking out on the fourth day, you won't see Mousekeeping. We usually leave a tip, though.

    Does anybody want to talk aout itinerary rumors?

    With airfare skyrocketing, I'd like to see a sailing from NY! I haven't heard any rumors, but I'd like to see a southern Caribbean itinerary, something with Belize & Costa Rica maybe. Perhaps someday. I did see an article somewhere claiming that DCL had a tentative port booking in Hawaii. I...

    Kidani Village knowledge needed.

    You'll have 2 adults in the master bedroom (king bed), 2 adults in the other bedroom (two queens), the living room has a pull-out queen-sized sleeper sofa AND a sleeper chair that you can throw the kids on and extra adult on, or put them in the second bedroom. Theoretically, there's enough room...

    Has anyone had a character involved?

    This would probably be fairly easy to do at a character meal, just ask the host at check-in. Might be difficult to do at a character line.

    Dining Plan no more?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they are tweaking it, like maybe doing a couple of different levels (like the old silver, gold, platinum) but the plan is very popular (even when it's not free).
