    Trip Report Riverside, tons of Disney fun ... my first trip report!

    I was just on the phone to book a royal room and the cast member said those rooms have a sofa bed. Is that right? I know the Aligator Bayou rooms have a fold down Murphy bed, but I thought the royal rooms only had the two queen beds.

    my catharsis

    It looks like a circus side-show. If you go past Imagination on what we call the garden path, you see it on the right. II was surprised to see it cause Disney World never seems to include anything from recent movies besides meet and greets. Let alone a movie that hasn't flopped yet. Don't...

    my catharsis

    Oh, I forgot. I was just going through some pictures from our first day and saw my reaction to when a teenager took a bottle of water from our stroller and handed it to what I guess was his mother who drank from the bottle and then passed it around to the rest of the family. I couldn't believe...

    my catharsis

    This is just a chance for me to get over our last trip. It won't be brief and it's ok if you don't even read it. I just feel better writing everything out. I can offer advice now too on the Tomorrowland Terrace FIreworks party, the noise level at the Grand Floridian, getting a Baby's First...

    Magic Bands - no more "scout" fast pass retrievers?

    Sorry, I'm not up to date on everything. Do you have to get a band? And how do you get one? We're going to Disney in a week and I know nothing about these bands. Disney never mentioned them.

    "It's time to wake up! We're here!"

    Any thoughts on how long Periwinkle is going to stick around? We arrive the 24th and stay for 7 or 8 days. Hope we get to see her!

    When you say capacity problem, do you mean the website or is "New Fantasyland" filling up?

    What to do about tag-alongs?

    Well I really appreciate all the responses and advice! Most of all, I feel like less of a dirtbag for feeling the way I did. It is my vacation with my family and it is very special to me. We are going to stay longer than the rest of the group as suggested. We are going to go our separate...

    What to do about tag-alongs?

    I've spent months planning a trip for my family. It has not been easy, and I don't want to bore anyone with all the details, but it has literally been months picking the right time, place to stay, places to eat, and on and on as many of you know how much planning is needed. Well, now my...

    Parking at Yacht Club

    I was checking out maps of the Yacht Club and some rooms appear to be really far from the parking area. We are bringing a car and plan to use it most days. Does anyone know just how far the parking lot is from a standard room? Does anyone know where most of the standard rooms are located? thanks

    Disney Gift Cards at Work - WooHoo!!!

    Theoretically, American Express sells prepaid cards that work like credit cards. There are no fees (they make their money off the transaction fees charged to retailers). Right now you can get one for $200 and they give you an extra $25. I do things like this all the time to pay for my Disney...

    Best week in Jan 2013 to visit Disney?

    We went this past January and it was ridiculously hot! We also went in 2010 I think and it was freezing! (It was the year the entire country had snow.) January seems to be getting busier though. I am currently trying to decided when to go in January, and I always check Touringplans.com...

    Question about the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party Times

    do you know how long the MSEP lasts? Cause my reservation is for 8:00 (the same time as the parade). Could I strategically position myself during the parade and then go straight to the desert party with enough time to enjoy it.

    I really wonder what the necklace looks like. My girls are always after another piece of jewelry!

    Fantasmic! Dining Experiences

    I've heard that the reserved seating area isn't the best view. Also, are the servers "in character" at all? Do they ham it up like the Prime time Cafe?

    Character meals out of pocket?

    Are you going soon? Cause the prices will change. We're going in September, and we are eating at Crystal Palace and Park Fare for breakfast for around $70 sans tip with 2 adults, 2 kids and a toddler. The dining people will give the exact price if asked.

    Mermaid Makeover

    Obviously it is impossible to keep up with everything going on in Disney World. Apparently back in March they added 2 packages at the Pirates League and one is a Mermaid makeover. Has anyone done this? It's different from what they offered last summer and is a permanent addition it appears...

    MNSSHP attire - costumes or no?

    Can you tell me about the "mermaid" appointment at Pirates League? Especially what the makeup was like. I saw that the pirates league changed prices and what they are offering, and the girls have done the "Empress"; so something new would be cool to do. Especially since we lost all of our...
