I understand that if a free Dining Plan promo is announced, the first day of your trip has to fall within the dates of the promo. How do blackout dates apply to this? For example: If the first day of my trip falls within the promo dates (not a blackout date), but part of my trip (after day 1)...

I'm a seasoned WDW visitor, but my trips have always been just me, my husband, and our children. I'm looking into a future trip with my now adult children, which will include myself, husband, 2 adult children and their significant others (6 adults total). I'll be looking at all options...

When we went to Tony's in the Fall, my daughter had the "Seasonal" Ravioli, which was a pumpkin ravioli, which I'm guessing was because it was the Fall season. (?) She loved it! We are thinking about making ADR's here for our upcoming December trip. Does anyone know if the Pumpkin Ravioli dish...

We have never been to WDW during the Christmas season, as we always travel there in the Fall. We are going for the first time this year, during the first week in December. I'm very undecided about getting tickets for MVMCP. Would love to experience this, as it would be a first for us, but having...

We always visit in the Fall, so we have never experienced WDW during the Christmas time period. We will be there the first week of December and I'm curious to know how the taping of the parade during that first weekend impacts the crowd levels at Magic Kingdom. First off, I was wondering if the...

From what I can see, Pop Warner week is 12/06 - 12/13 this year. I was planning on booking a vacation either the 1st or 2nd week of December with the hopes of a FD offer. I wasn't aware until today that even if FD is offered, it is blacked out for Pop Warner week. My original plan was to book a...

I'm a fairly new Disney Visa cardholder, and haven't yet visited the parks since I've acquired it. I understand the whole "rewards" part of the program, but I have a question about the "10% off select merchandise" perk. The info says "Receive 10% off on select merchandise purchases of $50 or...

I pre-ordered my Photopass Plus package months before our trip, & I was very excited to use it. The excitement started to dwindle when we were actually on our trip. We made it a point to look for all of the Photopass photographers to try to get as many photos as we could, and there simply wasn't...

I know that there simply isn't room for a huge presence of every single character in the parks, but I always wonder why there is absolutely no Jiminy Cricket merchandise in the parks. Am I overlooking it? The only thing I saw during my entire trip there was one coffee mug, and honestly it wasn't...

For my arrival to WDW, I booked our flights through Southwest. On my itinerary that Southwest sent me, it gives me my flight number & says "operated by Air Tran". I know those two companies are in the process of merging or whatever they are doing. When I got info in the mail from DME, it states...

Ugh! I had all of our ADRs planned way back at our 180 day mark. We've had a schedule change where we will be heading to US/IOA on a day when I had planned on being in the Disney parks. Now I have to figure out a dinner dining reservation outside of the parks that I hadn't anticipated. I sooo...

I've been planning/saving for our upcoming trip for the past 3 years. I've been happy, excited, nervous, confused, celebratory, & anxious, in no particular order of mood. It seems like ever since I passed the 100 day mark, the waiting period has gotten a bit weird for me. While this is my...

Although we have been to WDW many times, our upcoming stay in September will be our first on property stay, and we have chosen Coronado Springs. I've been reading everything I can about the resort, but I'm just looking for some first hand experience from those that have stayed there. It will be...

I diligently check several times every day and the absolute best price I can get for tickets for the end of September is $328 per person. Was hoping to get a better deal than that. I'm not very good at the waiting game. I'm so afraid that tickets will start creeping up instead of going down.

How safe is it to pack alcohol in your checked baggage when flying? I'm reading online about the different guidelines you have to follow regarding limitations, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any feedback (good or bad or indifferent) about having packed alcohol in their checked bag. We...

To save money and time, we will be eating breakfast in our room for our entire upcoming stay, with the exception of one day where we will not be going to any parks. We will be there 10 days and I am really hitting a brick wall trying to come up with a variety of things to bring. There are only...

I am looking through menu options in anticipation of hopefully (fingers crossed) getting free dining in September. I can't figure out how QS credits would be used if a pizza is ordered. My example is this...we are a family of 4. A whole pizza split between all of us with 4 drinks is more than...

On our arrival day, we will not be going to any parks. I will be trying to get an ADR for 'Ohana, and wanted to get some suggestions, in regards to seeing Wishes from there. First off, what do you feel is a better experience for Wishes, inside at 'Ohana or on the beach at the Polynesian, and...

Picking a pearl in the Japan pavilion always looked like fun, but I've never done it. I'd love to see some of the settings they have there & get a idea of prices before we go to see if this is something we'd actually like to do. I know that there is a cost just to pick the pearl, then the...

Would I be correct to assume that menu prices listed (quick service & table service) do NOT include tax? If that is correct, what is the amount of the tax on food in the parks & surrounding area. I have read 6%, 6.5%, and 7%. I never thought of this and did not add the tax to my budget...
