    Hurricane Matthew

    Was the note from the front desk? We never received anything. Just noticed the message icon blinking again - this time it was informing us about modified dining and to stay at your home resort for food. No reservations tonight will be honored for anyone staying outside the resort. Of course, I...

    Hurricane Matthew

    My sister drove up last night and brought food and water that we added to what I already had in the room (we're at Pop Century). We spent the day at MK and had little to no lines for anything that we did. Once I read in the forums there was likely to be a 5pm closure we decided to leave around...

    Hurricane Matthew

    I've been here with friends since the weekend and my sister was scheduled to meet me this Friday. She's driving up tonight instead - we'll do what we can Thursday AM and hunker down in the resort if WDW closes the parks late Thursday/Friday. Right now looks like the weekend and Monday still have...

    Magical Express/Magic Bands

    Yup, last few times I've been it's just been tap and go with the Magic Bands. In any event, there should be cast members on hand to assist you if you aren't sure what to do once you get downstairs to the Magical Express boarding area.

    Would you go?

    I would actually caution against doing something like that. That "special moment" then puts pressure on the niece to withhold information from her parents that her aunt was in attendance. Those things tend to come out with time, and could spark a much larger familial conflict. I agree with the...

    Best Character Meals

    I don't have kids, but was really impressed with Akershus when I went. There are princesses galore which is perfect for little girls (assuming your kid is into them) and they led the kids around in this little procession in the restaurant, which they all had a ton of fun with. Chef Mickey's I...

    Florida Resident Ticket Question

    So my sister, who moved to Florida last year, has purchased a three day resident ticket for our trip. She chose the "pick up at will call" option. Her tickets show up in MDE and I was able to obtain our Fastpasses at the 60 day mark due to us staying on property. She and I have heard many...

    Is this wrong?

    I'd let them know, since as others said it is likely to cause hurt feelings if you or your kids slip up and the secret is exposed. I would extend the option to them to join you if they wish - letting them know that you plan on doing a few character meals, they cost X per adult and X per child...

    Trip Club October 2016

    Doing back-to-back trips in October, first with a group of friends from Sept. 30th to the 5th, and then my sister is driving up to join me from the 7th to the 10th. Counting the days!

    Names on Magic Bands

    Never used my real name on any MB other than my AP (and only because I wanted it to be "official"-looking, lol). In fact, I don't think anyone in our travel group used their real names this time around. My name for this upcoming trip is "Figment" with a purple band...couldn't resist. :D

    WDWMAGIC Takes the Cake - The Official Cake Talk

    Great, thanks. We were already told that it will be included in our dining bill, so it should apply in that case. Yay!

    WDWMAGIC Takes the Cake - The Official Cake Talk

    Just ordered a cake for one of my trips later this year. I had read in another thread on this site that the TiW discount is applied to the cake, as it appears on the overall restaurant bill. However, that thread is three years old at this point, and I wanted to make sure they didn't close that...

    Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party 2016

    Looking at the character line up on the homepage and it seems Jafar is not appearing. However, I saw mention on other sites that he was a character meet and greet at the first party - was that a one time thing? It would be a shame to lose yet another villain meet at MNSSHP.

    Costumes and security for MNSSHP

    Great, that's what I figured. We were already planning on getting a locker rental and tossing the costumes in there, so good to have that confirmed.

    Costumes and security for MNSSHP

    We'll be attending MNSSHP for the first time this October and some members of our party have some concerns regarding the new costume rules. One is looking to dress as a Jedi, and is concerned that it would be considered a banned costume due to length. Looking at their rules as listed on the...

    FastPass for guest that didn't enter the park

    My understanding is that no, you cannot circumvent the system in that way - they will have to have entered the parks in order for their Fastpasses to be triggered as use-able.

    Undercover tourist ?

    Have only used Undercover Tourist for ticket purchases - it's the place I recommend all friend and family buy from, and before I decided to get an Annual Pass, used to get my own tickets from there. Have never had any issues with them.

    Disney Springs Late Night Offerings

    We are arriving later in the evening on next our trip and will likely make it to Disney Springs around 11pm-12am, if we head down there that evening. I know there are some late night menus available (Morimoto Asia and Cookes of Dublin being two of them) - are there any other dining options in...

    Disney-MGM Studios Memories

    Getting to see an exhibit on Nightmare Before Christmas, including a display of all the different heads they had for Jack's various expressions. Left a huge imprint on me as a kid. Looping Star Tours with my family twelve times in a row, back before the mix-and-match adventures. Just kept...
