    Thank you! Very helpful... Still doesn't mean I can keep up with the Spirit's posts, though! o_O

    Unpopular Disney Opinions

    AMEN! I plan a whole day around getting there early enough to leave for lunch or getting there later after dinner. There are no good quick service or one credit table service restaurants at HS.

    Early arrival with Magicbands & online check-in question (like really early)

    Last year, we completed online check in, went to an 'expedited' check-in line and got a general idea of where we were staying. We parked our car close to a bus stop and took off to a park until we received the room ready text. Totally simple!

    Disney Then and Now

    I think these two things are interchangeable and also the reason that the parks (and the world, generally speaking) have changed. The reason we all loved the 90s parks? Because almost no CMs had their noses buried in a cell phone, tablet, phablet, laptop, etc. I'm a "younger" generation and I...

    DDP credit conversion question

    Wow, good people do exist in these forums (contrary to popular posts of sarcasm and nastiness)! Thank you for encompassing what Disney is all about, sir. :D

    Paid in Full!!!

    Congrats and Happy Planning! Just thought I'd throw in that the Disney Rewards card is 6 months interest free on Disney trip packages. If you plan the payments correctly, it's a great way to plan a vacation and space out the payments (at least for shorter trips).

    Dining plan first timer

    There is an outline of what Quick Service (QS) or Table Service (TS) restaurants are included here - https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/planning-guides/in-depth-advice/disney-dining-plan/. I believe what you have is the 2014 Dining Plan and most anything listed as an Entree is available at TS...

    RAPID FILL MUGS

    I'd like to reference the children's book, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" by Laura Numeroff at this point. :rolleyes:

    Another Coronado Springs Resort Question

    My husband and I book at Casitas every time and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've heard multiple people getting on at the third (Cabanas, I believe) and fourth (main building, El Centro) stops complaining that they never have a seat on the bus. Casitas bus stop is the first to pick up and...

    Trip Report *Completed!* The "pick a celebration and stick with it!" Trip Report :)

    I don't know why I didn't read your trip report sooner! Fantastic reporting, and loved reading how you and your husband really immerse yourselves in the Disney culture while you're there. I love playing along and being silly, but my hubby, not so much. Maybe one day ;) I also love all your...

    BAH...

    The view without the Sorcerer's Hat blocking the Chinese Theater is undoubtedly breathtaking. I wish it could be seen in it's entirety at DHS. That being said, I don't think the entrance of DHS is the place for the full 1940s Hollywood art deco theming. I would keep the Sorcerer's Hat as...

    Disney that could have been, should have been, or almost was.

    In reading through the projects, I can't help but think how much time, effort, and most importantly money have been put into the planning, rendering, etc. for each of these ideas. It seems to me that if they would have spent half as much of their resources on sticking to one idea or going with...

    Unexpected acts of kindness by CMs

    These stories are so great; thank you all for sharing! Quite timely, since I am rolling out a Customer Service Training at my healthcare facility this week. I am using a good deal of Disney Customer Service books and material for the research and real life examples are just icing on the cake...

    DDP/Foodie Help Needed

    I'd be a little nervous about the menu at Jiko and I think it may be a no-go for my "meat and potatoes" husband. :) Kids aren't an issue for us at restaurants; we certainly understand that it's Disney, after all. Great suggestions, all - very much appreciated! I'll do my best to report back...

    DDP/Foodie Help Needed

    My husband and I (no kids) are making our fourth trip to Disney during the free dining offer this fall. We've eaten at almost all single-meal required table-service restaurants I care to eat at in the parks and resorts and I would like to branch out to some Signature Restaurants. We tried Le...

    Raglan Road or...

    I don't think traveling from a park to DTD is all that bad... We just take a bus from the park to Saratoga Springs and a boat over to DTD (utilizing another form of transportation, too). Since there aren't very many ride selections in Epcot and the fireworks aren't that great (I'm a Wishes...

    Excel Spreadsheet Planner Template

    I have a spreadsheet I used for our 2013 trip and plan on using it again for our 2014 trip. I have park hours, dinner reservations, FP+ selections and even some snacks I wanted to try. It's great to use as a quick reference instead of signing into MDE. If anyone would like to private message...
