    Paying off trip using Disney gift cards

    First I'd like to say that I did do a search on here about this topic but didn't find what I was looking for with regards to this topic. Plus, I really kind of need the info quickly as my wife wants to do this some time later today. We put down a $200 deposit over the phone when I called and...

    Finding Disney merchandise in unusual places

    So I've been wanting to start a thread about this for a couple of years now. I know that most of you are like me and probably drop some serious coinage on Disney merchandise while on your WDW/DL vacations, but I've been finding some very cool park merchandise DIRT cheap in places I never thought...

    Going to WDW after a heart attack

    So after logging off of my computer (and this site) on Feb. 17 at my usual 4:30ish am, I climbed into bed only to be awoke at 7am out of a dead sleep with wicked chest pains. I thought maybe I just had bad indigestion or heartburn since I had been taking tums before bedtime for about a week or...

    Ever benefited from your LOVE of WDW!!!

    So something happened to my wife last week on her way to work that I just had to share with people who could appreciate it for what it's worth. :lol: My wife is American, but has lived over here with me in Canada since we got married back in 1991. She works nights over in Michigan and has been...

    Mid April vs. Mid October??

    Looking to get some opinions on both these times of year down in WDW. Have only been during our Spring Break (middle of March) when it is packed and pretty expensive, so we are thinking of trying something else next time. We are looking at either October 2014 or April 2015 as possible time...

    How long after a trip until you start receiving PIN codes regularly again?

    So I've been back from WDW for just over a month now and noticed a trend pertaining to my email inbox....the lack of WDW PIN codes. I don't want to sound greedy or anything, and realize not everyone gets the elusive PIN codes, but I was getting them on a regular basis leading up to my trip last...

    CPU Usage goes WAY up when posting or replying on this site

    Recently, I noticed my hard drive revving up and my CPU usage shooting WAY up whenever I am on this site posting a new thread or replying to one. It only happens when the reply or post a thread box is open. Even when I am not typing in the box, it still does it. I even opened the Windows Task...

    Can anybody heading to Epcot help me out with a shirt pic and SKU please

    We got back from WDW a couple of weeks ago and my wife was kicking herself in the butt for not getting this one t-shirt she LOVED while we were down there, so I mentioned to her last week that there was still a way to order park merchandise from the comfort of your home. She knew exactly where...

    Which month is better for a WDW vacation & why - April, May, September, October?

    So we just got back from our fourth Spring Break WDW vacation with the kids and my wife and I are already missing it something awful. This trip was supposed to be just me and my wife celebrating our 20th anniversary, but someone (:lookaroun me :lookaroun) thought that the kids would REALLY enjoy...

    Bringing, and leaving, our own fridge to Pop

    I hope that this is not forbidden or frowned upon on here (can't honestly remember :o), but we are driving down to WDW (Pop Century) tomorrow morning and are planning on bringing our own mini fridge with us this time around. We are staying at Pop for 10 days and think that it is worth our while...

    24 days away from trip and no trip packet...should I be worried?

    Just a quick question here guys. We are currently 24 days out from our Spring Break WDW trip (leave in 23 actually) and we have yet to receive our trip packet. I am pretty sure we always received it earlier than this on our previous 3 trips. We booked it through CAA up here, as with the previous...

    Chances of receiving a PIN code for a trip that is already booked and paid off

    So I was out with my buddy on the weekend and he informs me that he received an email from Disney with PIN codes for some pretty decent savings on a WDW vacation package through most of next year. I realize that there is already a general public PIN out there now that I was able to take...

    Got my HELLO newsletter from Disney Destinations today, but no March PIN code

    So as the title of my thread suggests, I got my November HELLO newsletter from Disney Destinations today and was very disappointed NOT to see any PIN codes available for my upcoming March trip. The only reason I was disappointed was because I read in a thread on here last week that quite a few...

    Sizing up WDW t-shirts

    Anybody else find WDW shirts to be a tad smaller than regular store sizes??? I usually buy my t-shirts size large as I don't like the feel of a baggy shirt on me (personal preference). I LOVE the new retro t-shirts I keep seeing on here, but am scared to buy one next trip only to get home and...

    Outside guest staying in your resort room for a couple of nights, what's the protocol

    Hey everybody. Just had a couple of quick questions here about having an outside guest come stay a few nights with us next March while we are at Pop for our Spring Break trip. My wife mentioned to me today that she was thinking of asking our niece if she would like to come spend a few days with...

    Cirque du Soleil - La Nouba ticket questions

    I was saying in another thread a couple of days ago how my family wants to bite the bullet and go see La Nouba finally on our next trip to WDW next March. I know from their site that tickets can be purchased 6 months in advance, but was wondering a couple of things. First off, how fast do the...

    Got my first pin code FINALLY, but can't use it

    So I FINALLY received one of the elusive pin codes in the mail a couple of weeks ago offering the 30%, 35%, and 40% discounts off of a stay at one of the code-specified WDW resorts for the first half of 2010, only to discover that it came in my mother in laws name (she comes with us each trip)...

    Cotton-top Tamarin monkey pics from Habitat Habit! in Animal Kingdom

    I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this one. I was telling a lady at my work about these monkeys we saw at Animal Kingdom during our March 2007 trip to WDW and about how small they actually were. I had taken a picture of one, but it did not turn out that great. They were along the...

    When do Universal/IOA tickets expire?

    We bought one unlimited 7 day/2 park ticket for Universal Studios/IOA last fall when we were planning our trip to Florida for this past March. After thinking about it a bit, we decided we didn't want to go to Universal after all and just spend the whole 10 days down there at WDW. So I hung on to...

    How many adults per room are you allowed?

    Just curious as to how many adults, per room, you are allowed in the value resorts at WDW. We usually stay at the Pop Century and have decided to take the kids down with us on our March 2011 trip. My wife and I were originally going to just go ourselves that year as a 20th anniversary trip for...
