OK, I have just returned from WDW and I received a "bounce-back " offer I couldn't refuse. MY DS and I are now planning a return trip in the spring and will be staying in the EPCOT area this time. We have always stayed in the Magic Kingdom area and want to try something new. We have our Magic...

My DS and I visited WDW October 13th through the 19th. Without getting too maudlin, my DW lost her battle with cancer in March. I planned this trip to give my DS and I something to focus on. We have been a couple of zombies. My DW was, like I believe most DWs are, the anchor of the family. My...

Hello All, A good friend of mine is planning a trip early next year. He has a prosthetic leg and has not been to WDW in a few years. I told him I would reach out to all the good people here and inquire what the procedure is for renting scooters, are there head of the line privileges...

My DS and I are going back to WDW soon. We have not been for 10+ years. It will be a special trip for both of us. I will remember my DW and all the fun we had in the past. Together on our Disney-moon and as a family. My DS will remember his mom, who went on all the rides with him that dad...

I have not been to WDW for a while. I just purchased Magic Bands for DS and myself. How are these programed? Do they come that way? Are they programmed when we get there? Is there some App? Sorry for what might be a dumb question, I'm an old timer and technology is swiftly passing me by. I...

I would have loved to have been "The Mayor of Main Street" but the street people are no more so I'm told. Is there still a Park Ranger at the Wilderness Lodge? If there is sign me up.

Hello All, We are now "two digit midgets" and I am doing some mental packing. We are planning at least one signature dining restaurant maybe two. My DS tells me that I'm old fashion, I don't need long pants and I can wear Short to any restaurant except V&A. I'm planning on bringing cargo...

I got my DW the anti-nausea band when she was so very sick with nausea during her cancer treatments. She said that they helped. Also, she found that Ginger chews also helped.

I’m curious, what are people carrying in these monster back packs? I see people with them everywhere, not just WDW. I carried a smaller ruck than that in Vietnam, and I was in the infantry. Ok I’m an old timer, I understand that a lot of people are carrying laptops for school or work but are...

I miss the days of the Trip planning DVDs, DS and I still watch the one with Erin, Dave, Luke and Stacey.

Hello All, Its a quiet, rainy memorial day. I have been cleaning out my late DW's bureau, not an easy thing to do. I found her Disney drawer full of souvenirs and mementos including her Disney hat loaded with pins, a veteran of our many trips. Bars of soap, both the black wrapper bars and the...

Hello All, First, Thank all of you for your responses. Second, I didn't mean to start a brouhaha, I am not a terrorist, just a guy who wants to enter the parks without a hassle. For the record sometimes the joint replacements do cause an issue at a metal detector sometimes they don't. The...

Hello All, What is the current level of security when you enter a park? Last time we visited there was a bag check but that was it. Are there metal detectors, etc. now a days. I ask, as between joint replacements and shrapnel I have a large amount of metal in my body. I always go through the...

Hello All, Our current touring plan puts us in EPCOT one evening with Dad’s turn to select where to eat. As I am a self-confessed Puma, which of the following restaurants would you recommend for steak. Shula’s, Yachtsman, or Le Cellier? We want to watch the show after dinner, so we don’t want...

Hello All, I know that good dining in the Magic Kingdom can be an oxymoron but here goes. We want to have dinner in the Magic Kingdom during the Halloween party. The smart thing to do would be to leave, eat at a monorail resort and return, but we don’t want to loose too much time. On past...

This will be the first time we will experience Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. We have done the Christmas party in the past. Is it similar or totally different. Please tell me your impressions. Thank You Z
