We just got back from WDW on Sunday, and we used annual passes for our 2012 and 2013 trips. I activated the pass on April 13, 2012, which made it expire on April 13, 2013, which is the day we checked out of the hotel to head home. So it worked out pretty good and saved us some money. I...

I question how Snopes can possibly declare the entire scenario false. Sure, they can research a particular alleged incident and confirm that the particular incident is false. But in the above link, they seem to declare with confident authority that this kind of thing NEVER happens. Ever...

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't advocate strip searches or metal detectors. All I ask is they at least arm the security guards. This whole "sherriff without a gun" thing may have worked on the Andy Griffith Show, but this is real life. And even Andy knew when to arm himself. We...

We just got back and I had no trouble booking a reservation there. But in my case, we were staying 11 nights, and we were eating there on our very last night. So I'm guessing the reason we had such ease booking this place is that relatively few people stay that long,and of those who do, there...

Very interesting story, thanks for sharing. And sorry for the "weirdo" comment. That may have been a poor choice of words.

If you decide to stop at a hotel, my suggestion would be not to stop at the midway mark. I like to drive from early morning to 10 PM or so and be within a few hours of WDW when we stop. We just got back from our trip, and this time around, we left Sunday afternoon from Central Illinois and...

Kind of like having the hump backed 85 year old lady at Walmart checking receipts for big items. Not a thing she can do about it if someone decides to ignore her, but it may be enough to deter a few people. lol

If a person is packing a weapon in their bag, I'm sure they will be intimidated by the unarmed security guards poking their sticks in their bags...

That's very interesting. I doubt that I will get a chance to talk to her, as our GF stay was most likely a one time experience. My wife has always said she wants to stay there for our 10 year anniversary, so I made sure to make it happen. But next year, we will be back to a value or a...

We just got home yesterday from 5 nights at CSR followed by 6 nights at GF. During our stay at the Grand Floridian, my wife and I noticed that there was always this particular lady sitting in a chair or on a couch on the second floor. She was very eccentric looking, had a fake cat or two and...

For me, although the drive gets tedious after a while, the road trip back home is like a final part of the vacation experience. I can't imagine getting up at WDW in the morning, then getting on a plane, and being back home that afternoon. To me, that's too quick of a transition from Disney to...

We've never flown, so I don't know how much plane tickets cost. But the bigger your family is, I would think the more economical it would be to drive (as long as they can all fit in one vehicle, that is). Say you are a family of 4, like us. You have to buy 4 plane tickets. Again, I'm not...

When I initially posted this thread, I thought there was at least one other thing I was wondering, but I could not remember at the time. I think I just remembered it... This was our 6th time staying on property, and the thought struck me that out of all of our trips, we have never been...

We have the philosophy that we like to wade into the pool, rather than jump right in, so in keeping with that, we don't do a park the first day. I like to arrive at our Disney hotel around 9 or 10 AM, then go to Downtown Disney, then go into Kissimmee that evening and just spend the day doing...

Thanks guys, that's good to know. Whenever people get Verizon Rebate cards and they use them at Walmart, we have to know the exact amount on the card, but with Walmart gift cards, it will automatically use the remaining balance, even if we don't know what that balance is. So I could see it...

Today is our last day here and we cashed in $1550 in Disney Visa Rewards points for this trip. I have used it for our dining, and after last night's dinner, I only have around $26 left on it. When I use it tonight at Be Our Guest, I will have to pay the balance out of pocket after using the...

We're here at WDW right now, checking out tommorrow morning, and we have been here since April 2. I just have a couple questions based on what I have seen on this trip. 1) What is all the construction behind the bus stops at the Magic Kingdom? 2) At the backlot tour at DHS, they used to...

Is it half price if I only have half a head of hair left? :D

How much does a haircut cost at the Barber Shop on Main Street USA?

I always do all the driving, and we will drive until 10-11 PM Eastern Time. If we leave our house in the morning, I like to leave around 6 AM. If we leave in the afternoon and stop at a hotel that night, then I like to leave the hotel around 7 AM the next morning. But either way, I will drive...
