    Trip Report Completed: SUCCESS!! I did NOT get locked out of our room naked again! Boardwalk Villas June 2015

    Who knew a trip report could be so thoroughly captivating and entertaining! The suspense in waiting for a new chapter to be posted is maddening :p

    Question about split stay using park tickets

    We will be at POR in garden room from 9.20-9.29 with free dining and 10-day park tickets with the hopper option. I have added another 2 nights at POR in a Royal Room, extending our stay until 10.1. My question is, if we have not used all 10 days on our park tickets by time we move to the Royal...

    The Postivie Disney Thread

    I love everything about WDW. I love dreaming of a vacation there. I love the excitement that builds from the moment I first put down that $200 deposit and continues to grow through making ADRs, FP+ selections and all the other little minute details of the planning process. I love the way I...

    Table service for the first time! Where to eat?!

    As already mentioned, 50s Primetime in HS is awesome! Tusker House offers a fantastic character breakfast in AK. We like Crystal Palace in MK because we are Pooh fans. 'Ohana at the Poly is FANTASTIC!!!

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    I don't mean a large party ordering at differing times; rather, I mean not every person at a large table is equally decisive. And the more people in a party the more likely at least one of them will change their mind no less than one time about something they want. Then, there's all the...

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    For one, a table that sits together does not necessarily fall in sync together. Also while the number of people being waited on may be of no difference, a server will spend more time at, and doing things for, a table of 6 or more than they would at 3 2-tops. The staggering that you're talking...

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    My mother would tell you leaving a penny would get the point across better :eek:

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    45 cents or not, for me it's about compensation for a service rendered. Perhaps I care more about principle than an actual number. And yes, I'm a waitress--a darn good one too o_O

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    A server knows when they've done a bad job, unless they are brand-spanking new, and no experienced server expects to be tipped well if they are doing a poor job. Short of outwardly disrespecting a table or flat-out failing to deliver any sort of service, I think 15% is acceptable for even poor...

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    I have been following this thread for a while. I would like to defend the people who have asserted staff will follow a person out of a restaurant for not tipping, as I have had a manager follow a habitual non-tipper out, demanding a reason, as he knew that I always gave the table impeccable...

    Is your daily life different with a Disney trip planned

    169 days away, and my mind is so consumed by all things Disney, I can't imagine how I'm gonna make it until September 20 without bursting from the excitement! I am already positively giddy :p

    Disney Cravings

    Some of my stuff might sound pretty boring, but having celiac disease means I have to follow a strict gluten free diet, and at Disney I get to enjoy many food I don't otherwise find in restaurants elsewhere... 'Ohana skewers and lettuce wraps, Mickey waffles, 50s Primetime fried chicken and...

    Eating gluten free?

    Special Diets at WDW is incredibly accommodating--I'm sorry you haven't heard back from them yet! My daughter and I both have celiac disease, and our dining experiences at WDW restaurants have been nothing short of spectacular. Just follow the recommendations already mentioned by members above...

    MK SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

    Can't wait to arrive to this mess tomorrow! Wonderful timing! ETA: I'm sorry for straying from the "soft opening" topic. My bad. I'm just a little stressed right now with finishing packing and other preparations for heading to WDW tomorrow. Adding MDE crashing to the day before has me on the...

    My Disney experience app crashing

    My MDE is showing nothing--no hotel, dining, or FP+ reservations. I have tried both the mobile and the desktop, restarted both devices, etc., and nothing. We arrive tomorrow, and I had hoped to do some last minute tweaking of my plans. All this, and we won't even get to ride that stupid Mine...

    MK SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

    So disappointed :cry: I guess I can feel better about missing it by a couple weeks instead of a couple days. Oh, well. At least I can't stop obsessing now, and I guess there's no reason not to look at the videos everyone has been talking about... 1 day 'til Disney ETA: I am happy for everyone...
