    Are the memories > the present?

    With the 50th coming up I've been thinking a lot about past trips and the memories/nostalgia and wondering if those memories are better than the present. Between, let's say 2000-ish and 2016, I went to WDW at least once every year, and now I'm coming up on almost 5 years without a trip. My...

    USA Mickey Head Tervis

    A few years ago I bought a Tervis mug off eBay and I’m looking for another. This particular mug was several small Mickey heads all red, white, and blue patterned and I assume it was from the American pavilion a number of years ago. It was a beloved mug and sadly our puppy got to it! I’ve been...

    DVC noob question

    Hi all. We are going on our honeymoon in a few weeks and we are staying at VGF on rented points. We have been to the world several times but never DVC. We have also never used the on-line check in. So my question is where do we go? We did do the online check in so theoretically we shouldn't...

    Honeymoon Room Request

    We are staying at GF for our honeymoon in September and would like some input on what to request, if anything. We booked a studio with standard view. We've actually never made any room requests before so I'm not sure how specific to get. Also, we are staying with rented points, not that it...

    Complete restaurant checklist

    a few months ago there was a link rotating around Facebook of a checklist of EVERY restaurant on WDW property. I've searched for it but i can't find it again, anyone remember it and/or where it is? thanks.

    Just finalized rental points...now what?

    Yesterday we finalized DVC rental points for our honeymoon next September at VGF for a week. What do we need to do next? We are by no means new to WDW but this will be our first time staying DVC and our first time since all the FP+ stuff was rolled out. At the time of the trip we will have not...

    Less monorail maintenance this year?

    It seems like this time last year there were lots of first-hand accounts of the monorail being shut down for various amounts of time. I just saw that it was being shut down today for a couple hours but this is the first I'm hearing about anything in a while. Is it just not as publicized as it...

    Does V&A's book up as quick as other restaurants?

    I know that you *can* book 180 days out just like the others, but do you *have* to? The cost seems prohibitive for it to book up quickly but the exclusivity of it might prove me wrong! i think we just want to do the normal dining room, not the Chef's Table.

    Room Comparison

    My future DW and I have all but totally decided we will honeymoon at WDW. We are WDW veterans, former AP holders, etc. etc. We are looking into possibly renting DVC points for the trip and was hoping to get some input on how some of the different rooms compare. This is all hypothetical as this...

    How to make a honeymoon memorable for WDW veterans

    Hey everyone, my GF and I got engaged this past weekend and honeymoon talk has already started! WDW is obviously in the running but I'm nervous it might be too "normal" of a vacation for us. Both our families grew up going to WDW in the summers and the two of us have probably been close to 20...

    Is spontaneity really dead?

    Me and the GF were having dinner the other night and WDW came up, as it does :). This time there was somewhat serious talk about a spontaneous trip. Now, I mean spontaneous like this was Friday night and we were looking at flights for Saturday morning, so less than 12 hours. I know when all the...

    Any limit to AP use?

    Just curious if there is any limit to how much you can use an AP. Therorotically you should be able to go to all 4 parks 365 days in a row, right? With all the bloggers and podcasters, etc. I would imagine there are people in the parks almost everyday, would they ever get flagged or questioned?

    Booking 400+ days out

    Looking at a trip Sept/Oct of next year and was wondering about peoples experiences with booking this far out. I've read a little and it looks like I'll have to watch out for discounts and be on the ball about calling, right? Anything else I need to know? Is there really any bennifit to booking...

    Stand-by wait times

    What type of impact has FP+ had on stand-by wait times, if any? In theory there should be less people in the FP line at any given time, making stand-by lines move quicker, right?

    No-Expiration tickets?

    Do they still exist? I was just looking/pricing this morning and I remember reading a while ago that a 10 day no-expiration ticket USED TO be about the breaking point before it was cheaper to buy an AP. Is this still the case or is the no-expiration option no longer available? I didn't see...

    Pastry chef

    So I have a neighbor that's a very good pastry chef and we were talking today and she mentioned she was interested in possibly applying at WDW as a pastry chef. Are there any restaurants thet employ specific pastry chefs? Any of the restaurants/cafes in the French pavilion seem obvious but I...

    Inside the Castle

    do we know what EXACTLY is inside Cinderella Castle? I've read multiple articles and it seems like most people just generalize or speculate at best. Obviously there is the suite and obviously there are missiles in the spires :) but what else? I've read control rooms, security offices, elaborate...
