    mosquitoes in the world

    Sorry to go against the grain here, folks, but we had MAJOR problems with mosquitoes on our honeymoon at Animal Kingdom Lodge in 2003! The bus stops were horrendous and we got simply eaten alive. I suppose the vegetation at AKL led to the problem. We were there in July in very hot and mostly...

    The calendar still shows the Sept. 2nd Spectro parade...did this just recently come out on the portal or was it announced publicly?

    Tickets question

    They aren't issuing FastPasses at all...they're just marketing their product by telling you that you can get FastPasses with the tickets. Any ticketholder can do the same thing you will be able to do. It's just an advertising gimmick.

    Question on Value REsorts

    If you hold a MYW ticket w/No Expiration, you can convert it into an Annual Pass within a year of the first date of use. So if you bought a 10 day ticket and the No Exp. option, you can hold onto it either for a trip at any time in your life OR if you get to go back within a year and want to...

    More changes to dining plan

    Unless there is something changing about the system that prevents them from doing ADRs the way they have been, you need to remember that if you are booking a package you can actually make ADRs up to 190 days ahead. Your 180 day window opens with the date of arrival for your package. You can...

    Do youever feel like your a Walking Disney Rep??

    You're right! I often send my clients off with instructions to have fun on my behalf. Then I can't wait to hear all their stories when they get back.

    Character Dining changes coming

    Not trying to question the veracity of the statement, but it was just kind of strange to hear that from out of the blue without any other plans. I can tell you that almost every client I book at WDW asks about LTT as one of their ADR choices. It's a very popular character meal, and if it's not...

    You are not going to believe what happened.....

    I'm a travel agent, and I had some clients last year who had just the opposite time warp happen to them. They were to arrive in December '07, but right before their trip their reservation suddenly became for December '08. After haggling with Guest Services for awhile, they cancelled and...

    Kingdom Tower changed to Bay Lake Tower

    Different point altogether, but I wonder if there is any chance that the Contemporary will change its "Tower" room category name to avoid confusion with the newly built DVC resort next door. I can see people asking about a Tower room and meaning the DVC tower.

    Rethinking Disney Plans due to posts ...

    Could be a moot point since availability is getting tight on free dining for those dates. Are you flexible on your dates?

    Two questions About sept. trip

    I would definitely recommend making ADRs for your favorite places--the ones you don't want to miss. Since you are going solo, you might have success walking up to places as long as you are flexible on your times. When I book my clients during free dining I always make sure that they have ADRs...

    Something to think about

    Went the first weekend of Dec. this year and the bigger concern than Pop Warner was the taping of the Christmas parade. It really interferes with traffic flow in MK when they are taping and can increase crowds dramatically.

    Random, meaningless pondering about Cinderella's Castle

    If you think about trying to get your turn to take a picture in front of the Partners statue with the castle in the background, you know that the answer is that somebody is always taking a picture.

    Travel Agent or not?

    As a Disney Specialist, I feel like the benefits I can offer my clients are two-fold. First, I can help them watch for discounts and save money that they didn't know they could save. Second, and probably even more importantly, I can help magnify the magic for clients. Whether it is advice...
