    A Sensitive Topic...

    Hi - Over the past few months I have been planning out taking my 4 (almost 5 when we get to WDW) cousin. I'm excited, he's excited, I know it is going to be a great time. When I was showing him the Magic Band last weekend so that he could pick his color and get it customized, I talked to him...

    DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WEBSITE AND MDE APP?

    For the past few weeks I have been stalking the MDE app on my phone waiting for the Skipper's Canteen to open ADRs. I check when I get up (5 am), during my break (11 am), on my way home (3 pm) hoping.... Yesterday, I was stuck in traffic so I tried again...sure enough, it is listed and there...

    WDW With a 5 year old

    I am contemplating taking my cousin's son to WDW next summer. He will be almost 5 when we go. He is a great little guy who has had a rough start to his life, but is well mannered, polite and respectful. His grandmother currently has custody, but he should be returning back to his mother in...

    Ebola Tainted Costumes? Hmmmmm....

    Saw this article on line this morning and thought it was interesting. Normally, I would dismiss the premise of the lawsuit as being silly, but in the realm of ebola panic (and people are so doofus-y when it comes to things they have no understanding of, but that is another topic....) I recall...

    DINING VS DISCOUNT

    I have a friend who is planning a small family excursion to WDW this summer but is waiting for Disney to release a free dining program. I told him that Disney may not have a free dining offer this summer, and besides my feeling is that the room discount is more of a value than the free dining...

    I'm Not Ready!

    I can't believe that in 24 hours my plane will be on the ground, I will be on the Magical Express (if not at Boardwalk) and my excursion will begin. There's just one problem - I am not ready. This is more than, where did I leave my sunglasses. I mean, I have not packed. I have not gotten...

    Pre-Trip DISNEYMANIA IS CONTAGIOUS!

    Forgive me, WDWMagicites, for I have sinned. I started another pre-trip report and at the time my trip had been in a shambles and thought I should just trash the whole thing. The people I had been scheduled to travel with cancelled - I hold no grudges, we had a death in our circle of friends...

    Need to Rent Out Points...Advice?

    I need advice from fellow DVC owners who may have rented out their points. In a previous year, I rented them out through Disboards, but wasn't totally satisfied... I am scheduled to go to WDW September 27, and rented three rooms - one for me and two for friends. The friends have a variety of...

    GOD MUST WANT ME TO GO TO DISNEY

    A few months ago when I booked my late Sept trip I was excited to be going back to Disney, but knew in the back on my mind that what I was really telling myself was that my teaching career was over....and I said if I got a job I would have to cancel the trip.... Then I booked all the ADRs and...

    A 'What If....' Question

    So, here's my story in three paragraphs or less.... Last year a group of friends planned a trip to WDW - we ended up having a fantastic time. Decided we would go back again this year, but go to Food and Wine. Everything is booked - have rooms at BWV, have our ADRs and were discussing...

    Yay! Got All My ADRs Without Hassle....

    I was going to get up at 6 am and get on the computer...and the dog actually got me up at 6:01. But I wandered in at 1 am....and damn, I was tired. So I figured I would catch a bit more sleep and hope for the best. Got up at 8:13 and reached for the phone. The automated system could not...

    It's A Small Lawsuit, I Guess

    Don't know if anyone saw this (It is actually DL based, but has reverberations...) A disabled man sued Disney because he was stuck on IASW for a half hour...and part of the 'pain and suffering' is that he had to listen to the song over and over. ****EDITED: He was STRANDED for 30 mins and...

    Can't I Just Go, Too??

    A very good friend is going to WDW in just under three weeks. While she is not staying on site, she is excited to be able to have this time with her grandchildren. (Sadly, she has to take son and daughter in law too, but that is another story.....) I went over for dinner this evening and she...
