    PDD

    Just got back from a great week. This trip was thrown together last-minute, so my expectations were fairly manageable. But it was fantastic in every way and now it's back to everyday life. I hate this part. All I want is to be back among the palm trees, the buses and boats, the food, the...

    Are there any organizations that help disadvantaged kids go to Disney World?

    I'm not referring to Make-a-Wish, which is for children with health issues, but are there any organizations that make it possible for economically disadvantaged (poor) kids to go to WDW?

    You can have any WDW meal/food item RIGHT NOW, no matter where you are. What is it?

    I just had a nice lunch at my desk but I could really go for a Dole Whip right now.

    Underwhelmed by Beaches and Cream ice cream

    We finally got in to Beaches and Cream on our last trip. Overall we really had a good time, largely due to our lovely server. The ambiance was fun and the main courses (burger and sandwich) were good, but not great. The burger was yummy but the amount of fries they served was paltry. The...

    Why isn't there a Jungle Book attraction?

    It would be a natural fit for Adventureland or AK. Why is there nothing?

    complaining

    I haven't been on this forum in about a year (since my last trip). We weren't planning to go to Disney World this year but ended up booking a trip for next month, as we were able to get flights on air miles and this cut down costs. Now that we're going, and I'm immersing myself back into the...

    different ideas for lunch or snacks

    Hi everyone. I'm looking for different ideas for lunch or snacks (counter service)...ideally some "out of the way" gems that sometimes get overlooked. I'm thinking of Starring Rolls Café at HS, things like that. Somewhere to get a nice bakery treat, or a yummy sandwich...that kind of thing...

    temperature required to close the water parks

    Does anyone know what the threshold is for Disney closing the waterparks for cold weather reasons? Thanks!

    adding to your theme park tickets

    I think I know the answer, but am just checking. If we buy park tickets with the park hopper option now for a trip later in February, can we add the water park + more to our ticket once we arrive? We don't have a "Magic Your Way" package because we're not booking the hotel directly through...

    question about Disney on Ice (I didn't know where to post)

    I'm really sorry for posting a non-parks question in this thread. I couldn't think of another place to do it. Has anyone seen Disney on Ice World of Fantasy lately? If so, can you tell me if Olaf makes an appearance?

    if you could eat anywhere, right now

    Quick question, just for fun. If you could magically be transported to Disney World right now and eat one quick service meal/snack, where and what would it be? Like if you could have a little half-hour Disney break right now, in the middle of your day. +

    Have you ever not felt the magic?

    Got back yesterday from a weeklong trip with my husband. We've gone about once a year for the past 6 years and it's something that we have REALLY enjoyed together. Our house is a museum of attraction posters, we have every obscure Disney CD available and our wardrobes consist of a crazy amount...

    7 Dwarves MT, and question about "bumpy rides"

    Can anyone tell me how smooth the ride is on Seven Dwarves Mine Train? I have a migraine/inner ear disorder that can be triggered by motion and I find bumpy rides the worst, so I'm trying to get a sense of what the motion experience is like. I had a lot of trouble on Thunder Mountain last time...

    "special" dietary requirements

    We will be at WDW in October (our May trip was cancelled) and I am very concerned about food. Please bear in mind that I have been to WDW many times and I know the restaurants fairly well. Essentially, I suffer from migraine and inner ear disorders and I have a special diet to try to avoid...

    too crowded in August?

    Hi everyone, I am a die-hard WDW girl, but we're thinking of doing a trip to DL this summer. What I'm wondering is what the crowd levels are like each week in August. We simply don't want to go if it's going to be jam-packed (we will not go to WDW between mid-June and mid-August for this very...

    "the book"

    You know how there is a book at every restaurant that lists all the menu items with all ingredients and dietary information? Is there any version of that book that can be found online? Has anyone ever managed to get a copy? I'm going to DW in May and I have some pretty major dietary...

    Under-rated restaurants

    There have been posts about over-rated restaurants, but what about the under-rated ones? The ones you never hear much about, but are pleasantly surprised when you eat there? I'm also including quick-service too. For me, I've had a number of surprisingly good quick-service meals at Columbia...

    opinion of Old Key West? And a "what would you choose?" question

    What would you choose? 1: One week at Coronado/Riverside preferred room in late October 2013. 2: One week at Old Key West in the DVC 1-bedroom villa in the third week of August 2013. We had been planning to go in late October, staying at a moderate. But an opportunity has come up...

    Third week of August - thoughts?

    Hi all, We had been planning to go to WDW in October 2013, but are now considering moving it up to the third week of August. A major concern for us is crowds - we always try to go when the parks are not busy. I always thought that all of August was a nightmare, but I've read random accounts...

    the old Snow White ride?

    I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but can anyone tell me what's happening to the building that housed the old Snow White's Scary Adventures ride?
