    AOA or Contemporary??

    If staying onsite is critical, then with the options you are looking at, I would do 2 rooms at Pop Century. Gives you 4 beds and 2 bathrooms.

    Timeline for Flight of Passage - Help!!

    I think you would be fine. As others have stated, I would do Uber. Worst case you get off at 1:45, get to the lot at 2PM, Uber to Poly 2:15, in room at 2:30. From there, it all depends on how long it takes you to get ready. If you figure 1 hour to get ready, that leaves 15 minutes of fluff to...

    Insulin Sharps Disposal

    We went to the pharmacy and picked up 2 of the taller prescription bottles while roaming around. If we need to empty it at the park, DW can go to the restroom and dispose there. There should be no need to use that many, but you never know. We ordered 2 in-room sharps disposal containers. Amazon...

    Insulin Sharps Disposal

    Thanks. We are not at a Disney resort. I contacted our resorts and neither have containers. I was able to order 2 off Amazon that will be here Thursday. We leave on Friday. Amazon said if they are not here by Thursday, they will next-day air them to our first resort. As for the parks, I know...

    Insulin Sharps Disposal

    My DW is a Type 1 diabetic now. We have not traveled since she had to start using sharps. I have a few questions for anyone in the know... Sharps: Lancets for testing blood, needles for insulin injections, etc Where/how do you dispose of sharps while in the parks? Where/how do you dispose of...

    Pandorolympics - questions

    With Pandora being a new Olympic event, much more planning, training, and effort must be taken. With AK opening at 8AM, crowds showing up earlier, and gates opening earlier, getting there even earlier is necessary if you have to do standby for FoP. Now to my question... With a park opening at...

    Dollar store poncho?

    They have a very simple purpose...keep you dry. I was surprised at how well it worked. When I was done, I took it off, balled it up as small as I could, stuck it in my pocket. When it rained again, I took it out, slipped it on. If they do survive the trip, you can stick them in a ziplock...

    How to Book Our Trip?

    My advice for anyone going to Universal is to stay onsite for 1 night at one of the resorts that get you in an hour early. This gives you 2 days of early entry to WWOHP, unlimited front of line access, and some other little benefits. Yes, you can buy the 1-use per attraction fast pass thing...

    Dollar store poncho?

    Were you able to fold up the Disney ponchos as small as the original bag they came in? My experience with larger ponchos is after you unfold them from the hydraulic press folds that they are much bulkier and never get compressed like they once were.

    AOA or Contemporary??

    I would not stay at ANY Disney resort unless it was a 2BR unit with 5 adults. At the price Disney charges and even the price you can get from Disney DVC owners, offsite is far cheaper and you get so much more. Just a quick glance at a 2BR villa at SSR during the cheapest time and the cheapest...

    Who else has experienced something like this?

    Disney bends over backwards when you are cordial with them and understand that they have limitations of what they can do. Some people have the nerve to scream to be upgraded from an All Star Resort to the King Kamehameha suite at the Polynesian because they got bit by a mosquito. It simply is...

    Dollar store poncho?

    Here is my recent experience with ponchos at a soaking wet soccer tournament. The $1 poncho will keep you as dry as the $15 Disney poncho. Realize that neither are going to keep you completely dry. You will still get wet, but not soaking wet. Depending on your height, they will go down to maybe...

    Best Disney tip you ever got!

    CMs told us to not buy pins at kiosks to trade. They told us a local seller to get them from to trade. They said CMs that trade buy from the seller to trade all over the parks.
