    Money Saving Tips BEFORE heading to WDW

    There is a grocery store (Giant Eagle) in our area/region that offers fuel (gasoline) perks, 10 cents off of a gallon of gas for every $50 spent within the store. The program includes the purchase of gift cards. We typically buy enough Disney gift cards to cover the room and spending money; we...

    Things you haven't done...

    Your list of 'never got to dos' is very sad. It reminds me of my childhood and those things my children will never be able to experience. With that being said, do not discount all of the great additions/updates to the 'World since those days.

    Average Length of Stay

    The experience is very liberating. You can completely relax and enjoy all of the things you rush by on shorter trips. Plus, we plan the first few days and last few days, then adjust the middle based on weather, level of fatigue, etc. Definitely try it someday.

    Are the Royal Rooms excluded from discounts?

    Not sure about those promos, but I was able to book with AP discount. The reduced rate was lower than my original booking @ AoA.

    Any strange Disney rituals?

    I can promise that if we are at home, you will hear Disney background music streaming at all times. Disney screen savers, wallpapers, phone theme, ringtone, alerts are all constants. Also, our goal is to always have our next trip booked.

    Construction walls along the entrance way coming into fantasmic

    Ok, here is my rumor based on absolutely no inside information, just some wishful thinking. This area is being prepped to support the 'Glow with the Show' tech being used in DL. A recent Disney Blog post indicated that DL's Fantasmic is going to get this tech soon...

    Celebrities in Walt Disney World

    Back in July, we me Turf (Alonzo Jones) who is currently on America's Got Talent. He was hanging out in the POC gift shop. Many people recognized him and offered their good luck wishes. Not sure he is a celeb just yet, but he was a very friendly and humble guy. Outstanding dancer as well.

    Magical Moments and REAL secrets

    During our trip earlier this month, my daughter was talking to a CM in the PORS gift shop (Fulton's General Store). On the counter at the back of the store is a trivia board. Well, my daughter scored an 11 out of 12. The CM was so impressed with this that she gave her a Magical Moments Card...

    What do you think cost the most???

    You can take this with a grain of salt, but during our Illuminations fireworks cruise, the CM/Boat Captain stated that it costs $55,000 a night for the show. BTW, the cruise was one of the best things we have done @ WDW.

    July 22-26th Trip Report

    Sorry to hear about your bus issues. However, we stayed @ PORS from July 9th thru July 20th and never waited longer than 10 mins for a bus. This was also the case leaving the parks. By far, the best transportation experience that I have had. I would also add that we were very close to the...

    Gift Card Balances

    The receipt always shows the balance. Also, there is an iPhone app that you can use to track your balances. I used it extensively this past trip; worked very well. The app will allow you to give each card a name; I then put that name on the back of the card with a sharpie. Link to app...
