    calling for discounts

    Make sure that when they adjusted the dates of your vacation that: (1) the type of tickets stayed the same (e.g. they didn't add Park Hopping or Water Parks & More when you wanted just basic MYW tickets w/no park hopping) and (2) they didn't accidentally change the TYPE of room you had (from...

    Can Disney Movie Club Pins Be Traded in Parks?

    Did your Jungle Book pin actually say Disney Movie Club on the front? I ask because the Jungle Book one I got from them is the only one that doesn't actually have "Disney Movie Club" on the front - I figured that one would be easy enough to trade, I was just worried about all of the others.

    Can Disney Movie Club Pins Be Traded in Parks?

    I have several pins I've gotten from the Disney Movie Club. Almost all of them say "Disney Movie Club" on the front. Can my daughter trade these with CMs in the parks?

    How much do you spend????

    I usually manage a 8 or 9 day trip for myself and my daughter on $2000 or less, considering just about ALL costs. Here's the breakdown for this year, for Aug 22-30: Hotel/Tickets/Dining Plan (2 nights room only reservation + 6 night package w/free dining plan, all at ASMusic) - $1142...

    More luggage news

    Be careful with that one -while AirTran allows 55 inches, most other airlines only allow 45 inches. If something happens during your travels and you end up booked onto another airline, you'd have to check and potentially pay for your bag. I know that may seem like a remote possibility, but...

    More luggage news

    While that may be true of international flights, it definitely isn't the case for domestic US flights. You have to pay for any food on board now. Some airlines are starting to charge for drinks, I'm sure the rest will follow soon. And I haven't seen a movie on a flight - even cross country -...

    A few observations from my trip I just took.

    Would you folks make up your minds, please?!! How often has it been posted on here about some evil parents someone saw dragging their kid onto a ride that they were obviously "terrified" to go on?!! Explaining things helps the kids to realize their fears are unfounded. But I guess now that's...

    Which Value Resort??

    Unlike most others here, I wasn't thrilled with Pop. I liked ASMovies better. Pop was just too "big" feeling (I know, ASMovies is big too, it just didn't seem as overwhelmingly big!). And I didn't like the theming at all. I also hated the layout of the store/food court - as a parent, the last...

    Anyone ever met others in WDW from your part of the world?

    I adopted my daughter from a small orphanage in China (not one of the "big" orphanages that do most of the international adoptions in China). I once ran into another family who had just adopted from the same orphanage waiting for them to drop the ropes at Epcot one morning. We even knew each...

    Flight changed!

    I booked a red-eye flight for our August trip back in February. In early April, American Airlines cancelled all of their red-eyes out of our airport. They rebooked us onto an early morning flight. Not a huge problem except for the fact that American JUST TODAY emailed me to notify me...

    The "Disney Look"

    But an endless sea of Crocs, T-Shirts, trading pins, light up toys and assorted other goodies for sale is in keeping with the location/time period? Please. Those MORE than kill the atmosphere of a 1900s town. That ship has sailed - a turban here and there isn't going to kill the atmosphere...

    The "Disney Look"

    Amen. In my town, the equivalent of "Main Street" has folks of all races and religions walking down it. I'd be more than happy to see the same at Disney - it would make it feel more like the perfect town to me, not less! And a person in a band wearing a turban is no more distracting from...

    Coronado Springs Bed Question

    When you were talking with the reservations agent, had you given them specific dates? Perhaps the King room category is already sold out for those dates, and that's what they meant when they said they didn't have any.

    Bus Transportation Slow Downs

    The only time I've had to wait for a second or third bus to show up was at a park closing (or after fireworks/parade in the case of MK, when the park stays open beyond that time). While "bendy" busses would be more efficient in that specific case, they've got to eat a bunch more fuel than...

    UPDATE - Resort Airline Check-In Desk and Airline Luggage Fees

    JP - I'm flying American in August, but got my ticket back in January so the $15/first bag charge doesn't apply to me. Do you know if I will be able to do resort check-in (without paying the $15 fee), or will I be forced to check in at the airport in order to avoid the fee?

    Additional Luggage Charge

    The reason commonly given for instituting this $15/first bag rule is that the airlines want to cut down on luggage, to cut down on weight. The lighter the plane, the less fuel needed to fly it to it's destination. The poster you are responding to simply said that the next "logical" step would...

    American Airline passengers check your flight times

    Well, I booked directly through American, and have never been notified of any of the changes on my reservations. And my ticket is a FF ticket off of a platinum advantage account. Would think they would at least try with those - but nope!! So since American is doing such a bad job notifying...

    American Airline passengers check your flight times

    The changes are so significant, that American should be notifying customers of the changes by phone, regardless of whether they sign up for notifications or not. And there are still plenty of folks that do not have regular access to email - having that be the only notification mechanism is a...
