So, I almost didn't write this, but I decided to do it because sometimes trips don't go the way we'd hoped or planned, and that's as valid an experience as the trips that turn out well. This one did not go well. We drove down to Orlando on the 5th and were originally scheduled to return this...

Just got back from our 10th Anniversary trip. I'll get around to the trip report eventually, but I wanted to share this because it was just so unexpected and kind. On Thursday night we went to MNSSHP and arrived around 6:00 pm. I didn't know it at the time, but I was coming down with a cold. I...

I swore I wouldn't write this until we were closer to the trip, and then I forgot about it. Now it's almost here! What: The Really, Actual, Day-Of 10th Anniversary (Plus Halloween!) Spectacular When: October 7th-10th Where: Port Orleans French Quarter Who: Myself and Mr.Chernaboggles, to...

Just went on Target's website and noticed that the $50 Mickey gift card is GONE. I called customer service and the rep said it looked like the item was discontinued. She couldn't tell me anything about why they no longer carry it, but I know a lot of people use it. I suppose Disney figured out...

Questions for fall trips! We're thinking of doing a longer stay (3 weeks, staying offsite) in 2015, from October25- November 14th. Has anyone been there in late Oct/early November? Crowd calendars suggest that it's a good time to go, and I THINK we'll be able to get into one of the early MVMCP...

I was looking at the park hours in January and was somewhat dismayed at how SHORT they were - Magic Kingdom seems to close very early, which is bad for us because we work during the day and go to the parks in the evenings. I know last year they extended the hours so that the park closed later (I...

I bought them this morning (with our Disney Visa reward points, woohoo!). Plane tickets were purchased a couple weeks ago. If I get any more excited I might actually explode into a sparkly cloud of pixie dust.

Mr.CBs and I are going to WDW in October to celebrate the actual date of our 10th wedding anniversary. It'll be our first time staying on property, but it's a short visit - we're only there for 3 nights (POFQ). I was considering doing Memory Maker so we could get some good photos of us together...

First trip report! Disclaimers: This is only my second-ever trip to WDW, so this might be a super boring report to an experienced Disney person. I'm also terrible photographer, sorry in advance for the lack of quality pictures. On the other hand, this is definitely not the type of vacation that...

I've been reading the various threads and am coming away with the impression that February is very much a transitional month for WDW this year (or maybe it's every year and I just don't know it?). It seems like several things that have been big or popular features in the past will not be...

Does anyone have any recent experience with pet day care at WDW (or near it)? We're staying off-property and our Labrador will be traveling with us. Mostly we'll look after him ourselves, but it would be nice to have the option to do full days at the parks. Disney's Best Friends setup looks...

This may be a silly question, but do water bottle slings or carry straps count as bags, for park entry purposes? What's your preferred method for carrying water at the park? We'll be two adults with no kids, so we could theoretically go bagless, but I know I'll want to carry water even if I...

We're staying offsite for our upcoming trip (February 2014). For anyone who has makes a habit of bringing a car to WDW, about how long does it take to park the car and enter the various parks? We're looking at doing some after-work evening visits, but the parks seem to close very early. Ps -...

My husband and I haven't been to Disney World in nearly a decade. In 2014, we're going to be spending the entire month of February in Florida (telecommuting, we have no kids). We'll be staying a few miles from the parks and working regular hours during most weekdays. I'm trying to sort out how...
