    Yacht club vs contemporary

    I recently looked at the Yacht club. The Yacht Club is dog friendly; they do have non-pet rooms and dogs are not allowed in the pool area or restaurants. Let me say I love dogs, but they don’t love me anymore. In later life I developed severe allergies to dogs, cats, and horses. My sister-in-law...

    Planning a trip after a long absence

    Hello All, I had contributed to these forums for many years but slowed down in the last few years due to my DW’s illness. My DW passed recently, and I have been in a state of severe depression. My family have advised me to “find something to occupy my time, and to get away for a while.” My DW...

    Best Place for Birthday Meal

    Both my DW and my DS celebrated birthdays at the California Grill. Food was excellent, cast members very attentive, and we watched the fireworks from the roof. I ordered a cake each time without a hitch. We also had breakfast the morning of my DW's birthday at Whispering Canyon. We informed our...

    Share your happiest moment at WDW!

    Walking into our resort the Wilderness Lodge holding my 5 year old DS' hand and looking down at his face. His eyes were as big a saucers, his mouth was wide open in wonder as his head went all the way back looking up.

    Unmagical Day at the Magic Kingdom

    This is the first good laugh I have had in awhile. Last February I logged on after 3 years away and the first post I saw was Katie bug, a year later and again there it is front and center. As a bonus there was the food and wine altercation thread as well.

    A return trip after a few years away

    Hello All, I was a long-time WDW visitor and contributor to this website. The last time I posted here, however, was in 2020 when I said that I would like to make another trip when the world gets back to some degree of normal. In the past three years our family has battled the three “C’s.”...

    What is your Goofiest MK Mistake?

    I usually wear moccasin’s when flying, as they are easy to slip on and off for security etc. I forgot to pack my ‘sneakers.” First I cursed then I went to Commander Porter’s in the Grand Floridian and purchased a pair of the only thing they had, white reebok’s. They were expensive but I got...

    I wish Walt Disney World would have a shoe store inside their theme parks and hotels.

    I made a trip to WDW awhile back and forgot to pack “sneakers.” I wore khakis and a pair of dress shoe loafers to go through airport security and for the plane ride down. I realized what I had done after getting to the Grand Floridian. Faced with the option of wearing shorts and dress shoes...

    What is YOUR WDW Decade?

    My decade would be 2001-2011. We had multiple trips, 8 in the 10 year span of time. Our DS was ages 5 to 15 and every trip was different for him. As he got older he experiences and appreciated different things. My DW and I loved to watch his reactions each trip, from age 5 “driving” a car at...

    Things I really hate about our WDW Resort ( sarcasm)

    I too hate the resort themes. I too hate the quiet time to have coffee and people watch in the lobby each morning while waiting for my family to get themselves together. I hate the friendliness of the cast members as I sit and have my coffee, they are always asking how I am, where am I from...

    Which land in Magic Kingdom has the best food?

    We always enjoy Main Street USA. The Crystal Palace, Casey’s Corner and the Plaza are all enjoyable. I’ll agree Tony’s is meh at best.

    You went to WDW and you ate WHAT?

    I am basically a puma, red meat, red meat, red meat however after back to back visits to Shula’s, and Yachtsman’s the next night I ordered a plant-based entrée of green peppers stuffed with grain and rice. When I did, my DS said “Dad, that doesn’t have meat in it” and my DW looked and me and...
