    Pre-Trip 11 Days until 9 Days in Disney for Trip 7 with 6 People and apparently lots of numbers?

    Hi All! After being an avid reader of everyone else's trip reports and Disney blogs over the last few years I've decided to join in on the fun myself! I am (of course) a lover of all things whimsical and fun and Disney and absolutely cannot wait to be back home :). Here are the details of our...

    Garden Grocer vs. Amazon Pantry

    I love the convenience of GG but yes the prices are higher than if you went to the store yourself and bought the items. It's all about the convenience, and I would usually gladly pay a service charge and tip to get items delivered rather than taking time out of my park day to go grocery shop...

    Tipping at a Buffet Restaurant

    I would recommend to always tip by the same guidelines no matter the restaurant or type of dining atmosphere. Servers do the same duties aside from the actual order taking at buffets and if they do a great job they deserve to be tipped accordingly. :) I think of it as extra drink refills and...

    Favorite Dining EXPERIENCES?

    We loved the Hoop-Dee-Doo when we went a couple years back! It's fun for everyone and even my sister who doesn't like being silly was playing the washboard and clapping along with everyone! Some of my favorites have been: Japan Dining: It has a great view of Illuminations if you can get a...

    Kids Meal Disappointment

    CMs will always give you something else if your child doesn't like the meal they got first you should never pay for a second meal out of pocket for lack of taste! Also, a CM told us on our last trip that there is no distinguishment in child and adult meals at QS restaurants, only FS. So, if...

    Touringplans.com

    This is when I usually play around with my plan and rearrange some things. Place the rides near each other on the map together to shorten walking distance and move rides with FP times to the spot on the list closest to that time. If you change a couple of things around and hit evaluate it will...

    Touringplans.com

    I love touringplans.com if only to set some guidelines for the day. It allows you to put your FP and dining reservations into the plan so it works around your schedule AND you have all your times and confirmation numbers all together on one page when you print it. I always make touring plans...

    Sanaa or Boma?

    I'm planning a dinner for my boyfriend and myself during our stay and we want to try one of the Animal Kingdom Resorts restaurants but don't know whether we should do Boma or Sanaa? We've heard great things about both restaurants and like the idea of being right on the savannah at Sanaa but Boma...

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    I completely get your point in that regard. Disney is just protecting their CMs. I have never heard of anyone nor have ever myself had a bad experience at a Disney restaurant. If at any point anyone does have a bad experience and alerts a manager they will remove the 18% tip from the bill but...

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    The objective isn't to make you pay more for a tip or to pay a great tip to a less than adequate server but to ensure the server gets a decent tip after busting their butt for about an hour and a half for a large party and that they never get stuck with the $5 some people think is enough no...

    I do think it was that one! It was August 23rd if I remember correctly, and what a crazy day that was!

    FastPass+ Ride Closure Positive Experience

    It's like finding a hidden Mickey to me when a ride goes down while you have a fast pass! I was at AK last August during a really bad storm in the middle of the day (I mean, I've seen a lot of Florida storms but there were trees falling in the walkways, mass flooding, and not a soul was trying...

    18% Auto gratuity for Party of 6?

    Being a server I would like to vouch a little for the servers at a buffet restaurant. While they are not taking your order physically that's about the only task differences between a full service restaurant and a buffet. They are still doing drink orders, clearing empty plates, checking on the...

    Ways to Resort NOT Using Magical Express?

    My only worry is that they'll say no for some reason and he'll have to rent a car anyway and now we won't be able to get it for the discounted price I found through AAA and then it'll be almost three times the price. But maybe we'll take the chance! Thank you :)
