    Food & Wine Ques and Grand Gatherings

    We have a trip planned for mid-October. I was looking for information on the Food & Wine Festival and found a schedule for 2010. It looked like all of the demonstrations, food and events cost extra. Are there any free seminars or events associated with the Festival? I was also looking for...

    Is DVC the cure for PVD?

    We have been back from our Disney trip for three weeks now and I have an awful case of PVD - Post Vacation Depression. I find myself going back to the disney website with my 3 y/o looking at the videos of the rides and saying 'Yeah, will do that again next time.' Ah next time. Then low and...

    Just got back ... a few thoughts.

    Ouch...Just for the record I did quite a bit of planning. I used the Unofficial Guide as my bible. I researched resorts, proximities to parks, shuttle ride times, all the hoop-la about the new dining plan changes, participating restaurants, menus, children's menus, shows and rides that were...

    Just got back ... a few thoughts.

    Oh I know it was like trying to hit a moving target on that night for us though; it was on the map he just wasn't there at the time we were. Trying to get in all the last minute rides you hadn't gone on or needed to go on just one last time before that plane ride home. I guess I just...

    Just got back ... a few thoughts.

    I guess you can look at it like that however we never went through the TTC because we stayed at the GF and took the monorail in and the ferry back and buses everywhere else. And yes they did announce it on the bus ride back from DHS that we took back to the hotel after lunch which was how we...

    Just got back ... a few thoughts.

    It seemed that we were always at the wrong place at the wrong time. When we finally made it to toontown it was while the parade was going on so he wasn't there. We didn't really do Epcot other than Nemo and Turtle Talk on our first 1/2 day there; I thought most of the stuff there was a bit...

    Just got back ... a few thoughts.

    I was worried about the floral when I was planning but it really wasn't that bad. Some of the photos of the rooms I had seen were navy blue and really flowery. Our's was yellow, sage and cream and more scroll prints that giant flowers. The room itself was a good size and even though we had 6...

    Just got back ... a few thoughts.

    We just got back from our 7 day 6 night stay at Disney, my parents, my brother, his girlfriend, my husband and I and our 3 1/2 y/o daughter. We did the MYW package with the dining plan and park hopper tickets and stayed at the Grand Floridian. I have to start out by saying this was the best...

    Bibbidi bobbidi boutique

    We are leaving for WDW a week from tomorrow. We have a reservation at the BBB and can't wait. Does anyone know which princess costumes are available? My daughter was asking about Pocahantas and Jasmine. We are going for the castle package because I will be using our Disney Rewards card.

    Travel Agent or not?

    Also, they wouldn't book Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique reservation either; I had to do that.

    Travel Agent or not?

    We booked with a well know, highly recommended travel agency. The problem I have had is finding out all the things they don't do that you need help with. No plane reservations - well that's what you really need help booking. I can call Disney and book a room just like they can and watch for...

    Flights

    Thanks to all for all the helpful tips. I think I am going to call Southwest because they said on their website that they don't publish children's fares on the site. I am glad I read the fine print because I almost booked the regular priced ticket for my 3 year old.

    Flights

    I will try this tonight. It's difficult to know what is a good especially because when booking through travel websites there is an addidional $35-$45 in taxes and fees added so published rates of $164 creep over $200 per person.

    Flights

    When is the best time to book flights? I always thought that 3 months out was the best time to purchase airfare. Is this true? We are going in to WDW in mid-May and flights seem to be OK but no great deals. Any tips?

    Discounts

    I have a trip planned for May. Do the discount codes come out at regular intervals? I am really hoping to get a discounted rate; we got the Disney Rewards Visa, signed up for emails, requested the DVD, etc. Is there a reasonable chance we will get one? Any info would be greatly appreciated...

    Take my own crown?

    I also wanted to ask how long does it take. My DD will be 3 1/2 at the time and I wasn't sure how long she would sit still.

    Take my own crown?

    I'm glad you posted about this; I just found out about it and was so excited. I can't wait to take my 3 year old. I don't know that she'll have enough hair to do anything fancy, she actuall just got hair at 2 so it's pretty fine. Is the expensive package worth it? Is the costume that you get...

    WOW what in increase

    I had done all my calculations for a 6 night/7 day trip based on October 2007 prices and when I booked my trip for May of 2008 it was an increase of $175.82. That was for the full package: rooms, tickets and dining plan.
