Our trip started out badly. Sunday morning, April 27 we flew into MCO, they served a ricotta omelet on the plane that gave me an upset stomach. We checked into the Yacht Club where DS and I always wanted to stay and walked up to EPCOT. We explored the World showcase and had dinner at the...

Hello All, My DS and I have another Father/Son trip coming up in 81 days. For some reason, whether it’s nostalgia, or possibly senility I want to go to a character meal. Let me say that I’m in my 70’s and my DS in his late 20’s. During our last trip in October, we had lunch with Winnie the Pooh...

My DS and I had a wonderful trip in October. I decided to do anther trip in the spring but to mix it up we decided to stay in the EPCOT resort area. Every previous trip me stayed in the Magic Kingdom area. We made the decision as we enjoyed DHS and the restaurants in the EPCOT international...

OK, I have just returned from WDW and I received a "bounce-back " offer I couldn't refuse. MY DS and I are now planning a return trip in the spring and will be staying in the EPCOT area this time. We have always stayed in the Magic Kingdom area and want to try something new. We have our Magic...

My DS and I visited WDW October 13th through the 19th. Without getting too maudlin, my DW lost her battle with cancer in March. I planned this trip to give my DS and I something to focus on. We have been a couple of zombies. My DW was, like I believe most DWs are, the anchor of the family. My...

Hello All, A good friend of mine is planning a trip early next year. He has a prosthetic leg and has not been to WDW in a few years. I told him I would reach out to all the good people here and inquire what the procedure is for renting scooters, are there head of the line privileges...

My DS and I are going back to WDW soon. We have not been for 10+ years. It will be a special trip for both of us. I will remember my DW and all the fun we had in the past. Together on our Disney-moon and as a family. My DS will remember his mom, who went on all the rides with him that dad...

I have not been to WDW for a while. I just purchased Magic Bands for DS and myself. How are these programed? Do they come that way? Are they programmed when we get there? Is there some App? Sorry for what might be a dumb question, I'm an old timer and technology is swiftly passing me by. I...

Hello All, We are now "two digit midgets" and I am doing some mental packing. We are planning at least one signature dining restaurant maybe two. My DS tells me that I'm old fashion, I don't need long pants and I can wear Short to any restaurant except V&A. I'm planning on bringing cargo...

Hello All, Its a quiet, rainy memorial day. I have been cleaning out my late DW's bureau, not an easy thing to do. I found her Disney drawer full of souvenirs and mementos including her Disney hat loaded with pins, a veteran of our many trips. Bars of soap, both the black wrapper bars and the...

Hello All, What is the current level of security when you enter a park? Last time we visited there was a bag check but that was it. Are there metal detectors, etc. now a days. I ask, as between joint replacements and shrapnel I have a large amount of metal in my body. I always go through the...

Hello All, Our current touring plan puts us in EPCOT one evening with Dad’s turn to select where to eat. As I am a self-confessed Puma, which of the following restaurants would you recommend for steak. Shula’s, Yachtsman, or Le Cellier? We want to watch the show after dinner, so we don’t want...

Hello All, I know that good dining in the Magic Kingdom can be an oxymoron but here goes. We want to have dinner in the Magic Kingdom during the Halloween party. The smart thing to do would be to leave, eat at a monorail resort and return, but we don’t want to loose too much time. On past...

This will be the first time we will experience Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. We have done the Christmas party in the past. Is it similar or totally different. Please tell me your impressions. Thank You Z

Considering the restaurants below for our upcoming visit. Any insight or impressions would be most welcome. Thank You Art Smith's Homecomin The Brown Derby Ohana

Hello All, I had contributed to these forums for many years but slowed down in the last few years due to my DW’s illness. My DW passed recently, and I have been in a state of severe depression. My family have advised me to “find something to occupy my time, and to get away for a while.” My DW...

Hello All, Let me start with a brief explanation. A few years ago, I was a regular contributor to this website. Then after an absence of about 3 years I posted again last February with questions concerning a trip my DW and I were planning to celebrate surviving the COVID pandemic, our DS...

Hello All, I was a long-time WDW visitor and contributor to this website. The last time I posted here, however, was in 2020 when I said that I would like to make another trip when the world gets back to some degree of normal. In the past three years our family has battled the three “C’s.”...

With the world, both Disney and the real world, shutdown. I have had a lot of time to think and reminisce. I thought I would relive old memories and write a very delinquent trip report. My family, DW, DS and myself, have been to WDW many times. I believe our best trip ever was when son our was...

My DW and I have just come back from our 2nd “don’t tell our DS we went to Disneyworld without him” trip. The boy is in college and what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him, but I digress. We stayed at the Dolphin and as our friends from England say It was “very nice indeed.” We enjoyed a clean...
