Hi! We've never been to Universal. Please help me out! What quick service places would you recommend, or in the alternative, which should we avoid? The hubby's trip will be made with a stop at Crusty Burger. Thank you very much!

We are going the week of Christmas and had our ADR window open up a couple of days ago. DHS's posted hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for our visit. Yesterday, I was able to snag ADRs for our DHS days for Sci-Fi at 7:50 p.m. and 7:55 p.m. (1) Is it standard operating procedures for...

Howdy, y’all! I haven’t been posting much, but getting into the spirit of trip planning, I decided to share the joy. I’m Jennifer (hi!), and here I am with the hubby and our two awesome boys from our last trip in 2013. Well, I somehow talked the hubby into a Disneyland trip (including...

Good morning, everybody! We started thinking about making a Spring Break trip next March (3/16/15-3/20/15) since we're against the idea of taking the kids out of school. Somehow, the thought popped into my head yesterday afternoon to try for mid August before we go back to school...

I did a search and didn't see this anywhere, but does this mean they're leaving for good? http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/11/disneyland-park-to-retire-billy-hill-and-the-hillbillies-act-january-6/

Hi, all! I may have talked the hubby into a Spring Break 2014 trip to DLR, with a little bit of other So. Cal. places to see. May I get a little help, please? Should I get a Touring Plans or Ridemax subscription? I've checked out Birnbaum's Guide to orient myself, but I think I'd buy the...

Hello, everybody! I guess I’ll start my report. Just to recap from my pre-trip report, I’m Jennifer. My hubby is Lance and two boys are Cameron and Wyatt. Our trip started on Wednesday, June 5th, the last day of school, and we got back on Thursday, June 13th. I guess I’ll start on Tuesday...

I'm going to surprise my hubby, who is a Star Wars fan, for his birthday. I've got ressies for the dessert party, but we really don't need to be filling up on sweets so late at night. Like I said, he's a Star Wars fan, but I'm afraid he'll think the 8"x3"x1" carbon-freeze me is too small and a...

Howdy! I’m Jennifer. I have lived in Texas all my life, except for the year I lived in Florida (in 1989-90) working in Mickey’s Mart in Tomorrowland. It wasn’t until my hubby and I were expecting our first son (13 years later) that the inner Disney enthusiast came out. It was like lightning...

Apologies. That should have been @real mad hatter in the title. Oldie but goodie posting from Disney's Food Blog: http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2011/04/26/diy-disney-magical-drinks-the-mad-hatter/

Just saw this on mousesavers.com and didn't see it posted anywhere else here. If it's what I've heard it will be, I'm not expecting it to be great. P.S. What a frickin' day to leave my cell phone at home.

Please help me think this through. We are hoping for a good room only discount, but I’m afraid it’s not going to happen. We’re currently booked for CSR. I’d like to upgrade to AKL. I’ve kind of got my heart set on it, but the additional expense for eight nights is too much. One other...

Hi, all. Please help me think this through. I'm trying to prioritize the pros and cons for making our airline/flight decisions. We (hubby, sons 9 and 7, and I) have flight choices between arriving at 7:31 pm and 9:00 pm. Would that hour and a half difference make a big difference to you?

Hello, all! We received this neat piece of mail yesterday - a cute little booklet from Disney Destinations. Yes, it's mass marketing, but it got us more excited for our upcoming trip. Has anyone else gotten this in their mailbox? I guess I should have taken pictures of more pages. D'oh!

Happy New Year :wave: and Go Horns!!! BTHOOSU. Seriously, how many people do laundry while on their trip? :shrug: We're packing for cold and warm weather, and I suspect our suitcases will be full. On one hand, we want to spend as much time in the parks. :) But, if we can lighten our load...

Could you guys help me out, please? I've narrowed this down to one quick question. This will be our first family trip, hopefully one of many.:sohappy: How hard is it to make ADRs for mid-January? Tomorrow is our 180th day before arriving at the World. I will be ready at 6 a.m. Central...

Howdy!! I’m the researcher/planner in our family and hopefully am not overanalyzing this. I searched the trip planning forum and took notes on the EMH, early and late, strategies. Man, this is a total science. I’ve recently had a great chat with Len Testa and now would like to ask for y’all’s...

Howdy!! How is Whispering Canyon at dinnertime for DSs, 5 and 3? Is it too loud? I don't want them to freak out and want to leave. Is there any dinner time better than others? Thanks a whole big bunch in advance.
