When my oldest daughter was 9 I took her on a surprise trip to WDW, just her and I. We had an awesome time and it was the first of three trips like that I would take - one for each kid. I've been saving for these trips for years (since before I even thought I'd have kids...) Last week I took my...

Anyone know what's going on with the 6:15 timeslot for Hoop Dee Doo? I've been trying to find a two person reservation for 6:15 on 11/12 and have come up empty. It seems like ALL the 6:15 reservations are unavailable for months... Are they canceling that showtime?

Thread title says it all. If I plan to visit the world in September of 2016, when can I book?

I am down in Orlando for a conference until Friday afternoon, and up until just now I didn't think I could make it over to MK, but then I remembered the MVMCP! Unfortunately, it's totally sold out... SO - is there any chance I could find my way into the MK on thursday night? How would I go...

I have three kids - an older daughter (9) and twins (7). A few years back I started thinking about how much fun it would be to take each of them separately for some dad/daughter quality time down at WDW. I figure that in a few years from now they'll hit the dreaded teen years when they want...

Our first meal at WDW last week was lunch at the Whispering Canyon restaurant in the Wilderness Lodge. Our waiter was Jeff (Jeffro) and his "daughter" Jenny (AKA Sunshine) provided the entertainment. They were awesome. Jenny brought over every kind of milkshake that they make for my daughter...

Hello! My daughter and I went to MNSSHP on Friday, 9/12, and we were stopped by a CM to take a picture with her. Our costumes were ToT bellhops, and she works as a ToT bellhop, so she wanted a photo. She was dressed as the Dream Finder with figment on her shoulder. Her name was Katrina (I...

My daughter and I went to MNSSHP dressed as ToT bellhops this past Friday, 9/12. A while back I posted about piecing the costumes together here. The event was awesome - our first time ever attending. I can't say enough about how incredible it was. the costumes came together at the last minute...

Heading down in about 3 weeks, and I'm expecting some pretty hot weather. I've heard of these frog-tog cooling towel things, but I am skeptical. has anyone used them? do they keep you cool? I looked on amazon and there's a ton of different ones - which variety is the one most people use...

I am in the process of building my daughter a Tower of Terror bellhop costume for Halloween and I am having a really hard time finding a match for the gold trim used on the uniform. I know this is a long shot for many reasons, but I am hoping someone reading this might know a person who works...

Hello - I'm piecing together a costume for MNSSHP and I'm wondering if anyone would be able to help me procure a couple items. I need a pair of bellhop hats and a patch from the Tower of Terror, if they are still being sold in the gift shop. Would anyone out there be willing to help?

...does anyone know what kind of shoes the cast members wear when they are ToT bellhops? Are they just black sneakers? I am piecing together my MNSSHP costume (going as a bellhop if you couldn't tell), and trying to find the right footwear.

It's shutting down on Sept 3rd and will be totally closed while I am there. What are the chances that Mickey Mouse will move me to another resort if I complain enough?

I booked for the second week in September, and I am wondering when will my luggage tags and magic bands arrive?

Hi - I am booking a room at the wilderness lodge and want to try to get one that faces the Magic Kingdom. I am having a hard time figuring out what room I need to book to make that possible. The room I am planning to get is a Woods View - would this possibly point toward MK? What would I need...

Just booked a trip for September and this will be my first time trying out the Dining plan. I opted to upgrade from the free one to the Deluxe, which I think entitles me to 3 sit-down or counter meals per night and 2 snacks - I'm having a hard time figuring out when that kicks in though. I'm...

Hi - I am trying to figure out what the crowd situation will be like for a visit to the park. We plan on going only for one day, on the 5th of May (a Monday), and from what I can see it looks like that is AFTER the Easter break for most if not all of western Europe? Can anyone comment on what...

The race report - WDW Half Marathon, January 9th, 2010 The watch went off at 2:30am. Got up, threw on the running clothes, then in what seemed like a blink of the eye I was back in the hotel room having finished the half marathon. Roughly 7 hours, 2 of them running, went by so fast it's hard...

on Saturday following the half-marathon my family and I went to the Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch. It was the first time my girls (4 yo and twin 2.5s) had ever been to MK and they were in awe. It was also their first time experiencing characters in person. Well, one of our twins did not...

I'm trying to find a phone number for the shop without much luck. Is it possible to call the shop directly? I am trying to find out how much a Mickey Mouse watch costs - specifically the men's watch that has Mickey's arms as the hour and minute hands (not standard watch hands). So I...
