    I hate the Free Dining Plan

    I would also like to post another perspective. Most people who are on these boards have either been to WDW multiple times or at the very least know the ins and outs of WDW such as you should at least make a few ADRs and really try to make all during free dining. However, there has to be a...

    Thanksgiving dinner

    A little off topic, but I would love to do Thanksgiving at Boma one day. I bet they would have a great take on some traditional foods. Has anyone ever done this? How is Boma on Thanksgiving. I am someone that enjoys the more exotic tastes of Boma.

    What to wear in December

    Thanks everyone who sent a response because we had this question too. Personally, I consider anything over 65 degress shorts and sandles weather. However my DW and father-in-law will want to have warmer clothes. I'll be good with just a pair of kakis, my winter jacket that has two layers (yea...

    SciFi or 50s

    Personally I would choose the 50's. I too have experienced poor food and service at SciFi (although it has been 2 years since I have been there). I've never had a bad time or anything other than great food at the 50's even dining alone. Both have an equally great atmosphere, but very...

    I hate the Free Dining Plan

    We had trouble last year with the free dining and getting the places that we really wanted. I would like to make a suggestion that many of you probably already realize. Try again for the reservation at your favorite restaurant two to three days before and try earlier in the morning around...

    What little item is your "must have" at WDW?

    Sunscreen. I am one of those people that needs to reapply. Otherwise I will end up red like a lobster and very unhappy. Can't have that at the happiest place on earth.:D

    Booked POFQ for pop warner (dec 5-10) - switch to CS?

    Ding Ding Ding. Let the latest round of the Coronado Springs vs. Port Orleans fight begin!!!:lol: Just kidding. In all honesty though you probably have many less of the Pop Warner crowd staying at POFQ than the All Stars and after all the stuff that went on last year I am going to bet that...

    Fantasmic...Overated

    I have to agree with the OP. However, I really think in my case I was disappointed because it seemed to me to be overhyped by the reviews. From the reviews I read I thought it was going to be the best display of fireworks I have ever seen. It really did not live up to that perception. I also...

    How to Book my vacation

    Another vote for Kingdom Konsultants here. Especially since this is a last minute trip, you are better off having them help you out with all the arrangements and find you the best price. If you have AAA/CAA they can find you that rate if it is available and the best rate. I am always a...

    dining plan

    Also remember that this year the regular dining plan (as opposed to the deluxe) no longer includes an appetizer with your table service. So you are getting a little less food. You should also take into consideration that it no longer includes tax and tip, so it is definitely less of a value...

    How much does Photopass cost?

    Thanks for that tip!:wave: I did not know that you could get a refund if you were unhappy with your prepurchase. We will definitely really consider the prepurchase of the CD. I really hate to constantly have a camera in my hands on vacation, which is why I love Photopass.

    How much does Photopass cost?

    It is really worth it if you make time to get as many photopass pictures as possible. In 2006 for our Disneymoon we got it and couldn't be happier with the purchase. For 2007 we thought that we might, but for some reason we found the photographers to be few and far between when we were in the...

    Mears Cars - good or bad?

    I've only ever used Mears once and it was a coach shuttle back in 1996, far before magical express. The experience was bad and overpriced enough that I swore that I would never use Mears anything ever again. Now you are talking about using a luxury sedan (a lot of times that means a Lincoln...

    Bus from AK to DTD?

    I agree with Master Yoda, consider going back to your hotel to freshen up first or take a cab. However if you don't mind walking more you might want to consider taking the bus to Saratoga Springs and walking the path over to DTD. Depening on how the bus service is running on that day, that...

    Can I celebrate my birthday at WDW if it's not my birthday?

    Of course. Last year we celebrated my wife's birthday all week (it actually was her birthday the second to last day) and we celebrated our anniversary a month early. WDW is happy to help people celebrate espeically if they use it as a reason to go to WDW and spend their money. Be sure to...

    Is HDDMR worth two dining credits?

    PLease have your wife read this thread! HDD is not just for kids! My wife and I went by ourselves and we had a blast. We had much more fun than we did at Ohana and the food was better (in my opinion). There is a reason it is the longest running stage show in the US. It is because it is just...

    Is HDDMR worth two dining credits?

    You have been to WDW 24x and never seen Hoop Dee Doo?!?!:eek: It is absolutely worth the two credits. My DW and I went for the first time last year (just the two of us no kids) and we loved it. Now with kids I bet it will be even more fun. We're taking my father-in-law this year to WDW and...

    Bounce back Offers????

    Oooooh that's sneaky, so if you have the free dining plan this year with counter service you might not get that level of free dining again next year if you stick with a value or moderate? Well, it's no matter for me because we are not going for free dining. I am thinking next year we may not...

    ***if you had the chance to upgrade for $200***

    I have not stayed at WL so I am not familiar with the rooms, but I hear that the standard woods view is still very nice. I would probably keep the standard room and have a nice dinner or two. Just my opinion. Good luck!

    Not doing Magical transportation...

    We usually use a Town Car (Quicksilver has been our choice) as we like the privacy, to have our bags with us and being able to stop at the grocery store. However in terms of time, like others have said, unless you have all carry-ons, are somehow able to have a rental car waiting for you and...
