    more trip planning questions

    Pam is spectacular. She is amazing to work with - the cool thing is I still research where we want to stay, what we want to do, and where we want to dine, and then I email her all the dates, and she sets it up. She is so professional. We have always had outstanding experiences, and I have...

    Extra Magic Hours, Use OR Avoid?????

    As far as using or not, it seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes it is awesome and you can do a lot, other times at night, not so much. However, someone gave us a great tip once - they said go the next morning (when it opens) to the park that had EMH the night before. We have done this a bunch...

    March is "Dicey"

    My husband and I are teachers, so we only go at the busy times. I have found that March is busy but doable. You have to use some of the tricks - get there a little early and use fastpass etc. but it is fine. We have always done everything we wanted and more. We just went at Christmas and...

    Need advice: Wishes VS HoopDeeDoo

    I would second the Wishes votes. I liked Hoop Dee Doo as a show, but we did not enjoy the food at all. You could book an early dinner in EPCOT (around 5 or so) at Le Cellier or Coral Reef and then take the monorail over to MK to see Wishes. That is one of our favorites!

    Trip Report 12/25 - 12/30

    Well, we just got home from a Christmas trip to Disney. WOW!!!! It was so much fun. So many new things that we have never done before. Here's a quick summary: Christmas day - United Airlines bumped us off our flight so we missed Christmas at the Fort. That was a big disappointment since...

    Magical Express and Carryon Suitcase

    Just a thought - on the way home, you could use Disney's airport check in (if you are on a participating airline) and just check your bag for the return trip - then you wouldn't have any worries about retrieving it.

    Tips, Tricks, and Anything Else We NEED to know before we go

    One thing you can do is choose meals that actually fill you up enough so you don't have to eat as many times. As far as dinner places - Ohana is a flat rate - I think $27.99 per person - it doesn't include any "drinks" but it is a great meal, and extremely filling. Also, I agree with the above...

    illuminations from french quarter?!?!

    The buses stop at FQ first. They do go to Riverside after, but the cool thing is a. you almost always have a seat. b. if the bus is full, you go right to the park. c. you very rarely make it through all the Riverside stops before you have a full bus. This is a great resort - I think the...

    Help with February trip....

    There is no fee for booking or making ADR's. I do not know if there are other fees, but I have never paid for them making my reservations or making my ADR's. Like MontyMon said, they let you do as much or as little as you want. I have used Pam in the past, but the impression I get is that...

    Help with February trip....

    They do everything - it is awesome. You tell them where you want to eat and a range of times - they do the rest. They are amazing! i used to plan all my trips and now I let them do everything.

    Need Birthday opinions

    You should try the Sci-Fi drive in or the 50's Prime Time Cafe in MGM. They are both awesome atmospheres, and really fun for kids. The other thing you could do is Chef Mickey's for dinner. Have fun!

    The Most Underrated Disney Attractions

    Animation academy at MGM (or whatever the new name is). The artists are awesome and it is so fun to draw the characters. Also it is relaxing and cool in there!

    Going Solo: Save Money or Splurge?

    Since you have already decided to downgrade, perhaps you could use some of the saved money for some really cool dinners at some nice places to celebrate! There are so many nice restaurants (not sure what you like), but you could eat at Le Cellier, O'hana, California Grill, Brown Derby etc. to...

    anyone win anything?

    We won the ears at Imagination, and the MGM Dream Fastpass the next day at Animation. Like others, this was my fourth trip and I had never won anything. It was really cool!!

    Winning Dream Fastpass?

    We were lucky enough to win the dream fastpass at MGM last week. We were given the fastpasses. They cannot be given away - you have to detach the fastpass at the actual ride, and they have a date on them so you have to use it on the day you receive it. At MGM, the rides included were TOT...

    Is it really worth it?

    My husband and I are thinking of joining. However, what specifically are the discounts on annual passes and dining? The guy at the desk mentioned significant discounts on these two items, but I was wondering if anyone had specifics. Thanks.
