Everytime we go, as soon as we touch Disney property it's like whatever weight of the world we were dealing with is magically gone. We take a deep breath, cross under the Welcome sign and all is right with the world again. We check into the room, where almost every detail is perfect, and we...

We had DH's close friend visit us a few years ago. He'd been to Disney with us for a day a couple of years before; his wife has never been. She said she couldn't believe how much people love WDW, especially EPCOT. Why pick on poor EPCOT? She felt that it was no substitute for actually being...

I've been having serious withdrawls too, and we just got to have a very unexpected two nights in WDW in May. We've been watching our Vacation Planning DVDs, other Disney World DVDs we have, reading our Unofficial Guide. I even pre-ordered the 2011 Unofficial Guide. We've been reading our...

Yep!! A great little secret! My DH and two DSs get their hair cut each trip. In fact, my younger boy had his first haircut there. They make it incredibly special. Thanks for the updates on WDW. I am having serious withdrawls and it's nice to read mostly good things. Now, back to...

He doesn't deliver (unlike the beer man, now he delivers some yummy awesomeness too!). He's at our BX on the Air Force base here. But only in the late autumn, winter and spring months. He left after Mother's Day this year. And he's not there every weekend. Wish he was, though it's expensive...

I haven't read through all the posts so I may be repeating other opinions. Sorry. First, I am sure the resale market is now GREAT for those who can afford to buy. I sorta wish now that we had waited; I might now be able to afford what we really wanted but were too impatient to wait for. Not...

I love the idea of being able to stretch out the payment. We usually have to renew right near Christmas time and we travel far (often) to do it. So that's an expense in itself. Now we'll have more $$ to spend at WDW, which I am sure the Disney execs won't be upset about! We CAN afford to pay...

You totally would! He only comes by the BX in the cooler/cold months. The chocolate melts very easily, much faster than chocolate chips left out at the same temperature. But it's some fantastic chocolate from the Black Forest region. Best chocolate I've ever had! I hope so. Now THAT is...

I live in Germany and haven't seen a single freestanding (or otherwise) caramel shop/kitchen. Not even in a bakery around here. And the chocolate guy only brings chocolate, never caramel or anything else.

Having been a Marathon Weekend veteran for hte past 6 years now, I can tell you to find $$ in your budget to stay at the Epcot resorts. Specifically, you want Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach Club, or Swan and Dolphin. You will need to take the bus in the morning to get to the start (and possibly...

Definitely check a few sources before you finally pack. January/February is such a fickle time of year. Sometimes it was cold, others we couldn't believe how warm it was. And the past two marathon weekends was a mix; warm to start, cold to end the trip. We pack so much everytime we go home...

I just had my second solo trip ever (last was in 1997) this past March. LOVED IT!! I am going to try and make it a yearly thing. You might be worried about being bored on a solo trip. What i found this time (usually am with DH and 3 kids) was I could do what I wanted when I wanted for how...

This year the Disney Princess Half Marathon is March 8. The Weekend starts with the expo on March 6 (Friday). So I'd expect it to be a bit more crowded than usual. I think they are allowing 10+K runners to register and it's 70% full. But in all, I think it will still be quiet. Expect hte...

Just checked the Disney site. It's $49 per night Jan 4-15, Jan 19 thru Feb 12, Sunday thru Thursday. It's $79 per night Sun- Thurs Feb 16-April 2. Book by January 4.

Thanks Jain for the phone #.:wave: Due to cost issues we weren't doing any "Grand Gathering" stuff. We took care of the rooms for everyone and would like to give them all a small gift but some of the Disney events are pricey, even for us. But hopefully this will qualify for a discount anyway.

(Please move if this is in the wrong place. I wasn't sure where to go.) I have a couple of questions about Mickey ears. What is the cost of the basic black adult ears? How much is the personalization? It's been quite a while since I bought any and at the time names were included in the...

OMG!! Disney races are perfect for you! They generally require a 16 minute mile pace or better, so a half marathon should take no more than 3.5 hours. MANY people walk the Disney races. You would not be alone. Check Disneyrunning.com for all sorts of info. You'll find a lot of walkers...

Woo-hoo! We were thinking of a cruise around PCS time (mid-May-ish). This might be our chance...Go Air Force! (DisneyFalcon: Are you at ACSC? Not too much AF in Newport other than that. Crossing our fingers for it in 2 years...)

There's always next year! Lots of people just walk the whole thing. And there's the half marathon; much shorter! All you need is about 20 weeks for training. See you next year at the start? At any rate, see you as I run by in January!
