    Can’t wait to go back

    My DS and I are going back to WDW soon. We have not been for 10+ years. It will be a special trip for both of us. I will remember my DW and all the fun we had in the past. Together on our Disney-moon and as a family. My DS will remember his mom, who went on all the rides with him that dad...

    Magic Band Question

    I have not been to WDW for a while. I just purchased Magic Bands for DS and myself. How are these programed? Do they come that way? Are they programmed when we get there? Is there some App? Sorry for what might be a dumb question, I'm an old timer and technology is swiftly passing me by. I...

    What WDW Job Would You Want?

    I would have loved to have been "The Mayor of Main Street" but the street people are no more so I'm told. Is there still a Park Ranger at the Wilderness Lodge? If there is sign me up.

    Clothing for Signature Question

    Hello All, We are now "two digit midgets" and I am doing some mental packing. We are planning at least one signature dining restaurant maybe two. My DS tells me that I'm old fashion, I don't need long pants and I can wear Short to any restaurant except V&A. I'm planning on bringing cargo...

    Relief band for motion sickness

    I got my DW the anti-nausea band when she was so very sick with nausea during her cancer treatments. She said that they helped. Also, she found that Ginger chews also helped.

    Can We Limit The Size of a Backpack

    I’m curious, what are people carrying in these monster back packs? I see people with them everywhere, not just WDW. I carried a smaller ruck than that in Vietnam, and I was in the infantry. Ok I’m an old timer, I understand that a lot of people are carrying laptops for school or work but are...

    Are paper maps still a thing

    Hello All, Its a quiet, rainy memorial day. I have been cleaning out my late DW's bureau, not an easy thing to do. I found her Disney drawer full of souvenirs and mementos including her Disney hat loaded with pins, a veteran of our many trips. Bars of soap, both the black wrapper bars and the...

    Security at the Park Entrance

    Hello All, First, Thank all of you for your responses. Second, I didn't mean to start a brouhaha, I am not a terrorist, just a guy who wants to enter the parks without a hassle. For the record sometimes the joint replacements do cause an issue at a metal detector sometimes they don't. The...

    Security at the Park Entrance

    Hello All, What is the current level of security when you enter a park? Last time we visited there was a bag check but that was it. Are there metal detectors, etc. now a days. I ask, as between joint replacements and shrapnel I have a large amount of metal in my body. I always go through the...

    Your recommendation for a good steak in the EPCOT area.

    Hello All, Our current touring plan puts us in EPCOT one evening with Dad’s turn to select where to eat. As I am a self-confessed Puma, which of the following restaurants would you recommend for steak. Shula’s, Yachtsman, or Le Cellier? We want to watch the show after dinner, so we don’t want...

    Dining in the Magic Kingdom

    Hello All, I know that good dining in the Magic Kingdom can be an oxymoron but here goes. We want to have dinner in the Magic Kingdom during the Halloween party. The smart thing to do would be to leave, eat at a monorail resort and return, but we don’t want to loose too much time. On past...

    Yacht club vs contemporary

    I recently looked at the Yacht club. The Yacht Club is dog friendly; they do have non-pet rooms and dogs are not allowed in the pool area or restaurants. Let me say I love dogs, but they don’t love me anymore. In later life I developed severe allergies to dogs, cats, and horses. My sister-in-law...

    Planning a trip after a long absence

    Hello All, I had contributed to these forums for many years but slowed down in the last few years due to my DW’s illness. My DW passed recently, and I have been in a state of severe depression. My family have advised me to “find something to occupy my time, and to get away for a while.” My DW...

    Best Place for Birthday Meal

    Both my DW and my DS celebrated birthdays at the California Grill. Food was excellent, cast members very attentive, and we watched the fireworks from the roof. I ordered a cake each time without a hitch. We also had breakfast the morning of my DW's birthday at Whispering Canyon. We informed our...
