I don't post a lot here, but I read nearly every day. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I leave tomorrow morning for WDW and I wish I wasn't even going. I wonder if any of you have any suggestions to get me into that magical mood. I'm going with my 7 year old, my dad, my brother, my...

Hi all! I'm wondering if driving to the Speedway station near DTD involves getting mired in DTD traffic. I'm landing on a Thursday around 1:30 and need to stop somewhere for water and juice and stuff before I check in to POR at 3. I've never stayed over that way before or visited that Hess...

Hi everyone! I purchased park tickets from Undercover Tourist for my trip next month. I used the e-ticket option, so I didn't (and won't) get actual ticket cards. I linked the tickets to MDE, no problems there. I think I'd like to upgrade my ticket to an AP once I get to WDW, so I'm...

...and I don't know if I should bother fixing them. I had to make most of my ADRs over the phone (because MDE is the opposite of awesome). An excellent, patient CM got me the ADRs I needed, but most are booked for 12 adults when actually we're 9 adults, 2 kids, 1 infant. I know they confirm...

Hi everybody! I'm starting to plan a big family trip for May 2015 (5 adults, 3 kids, 9 nights). We wanted to do a split stay at AoA Cars/YC but even figuring in possible spring/AP discounts, the cost is more than we're comfortable with. So we're kicking around the idea of renting points for a...

:confused: So I leave for WDW tomorrow morning. I've still been debating how much cash to bring in case anything went wrong with my credit cards, because I'm paranoid. Anyway, I get a call this morning from Capital One asking if I attempted to make a $1200 charge at a vacation resort in...

Hi everyone! I can't get a simple answer from WDW on this. Can I upgrade a 9-day ticket to a 10-day ticket at the front desk at a resort, before the ticket is ever used? (There's no package involved and I bought the ticket online from WDW.) I just called WDW twice and one CM said yes, but...

Hi all! I just got 2 emails from WDW regarding my TSMM FPs. I've got 3 TSMM FPs in all--two around 7 p.m., and one in the a.m. I got two emails about the evening FPs saying they are "no longer available due to an unexpected change in the operating schedule." I'll have replacement FPs that...

We're staying at WL for 3 nights in August and I've got a dinner ADR at WC for night 2. Breakfast and lunch aren't possible because I've top-loaded the first few days of our (split) stay with park time. I booked it mainly for the fun factor. I think my 4 year old is going to see/hear the fun...

So I get to make my FPs tomorrow and I'm wondering if I should let my son ride EE. He is over 44" tall and turns 5 the week after this "birthday trip" in August. There's a big backstory here, but if you don't feel like reading it, please feel free to skip it and just read the last paragraph...

Last month, I rode HM 5 times. I hadn't been to WDW since 2001, and I knew there had been changes to the mansion in the meantime. But it's driving me crazy trying to remember what used to be in place of the "new" scenes. For instance, I know the staircase area is "new," but I can't remember...

I'm a little reluctant to post this but I'm wondering if my experience at BLT was unique. I only stayed for 2 nights last week so my impression is by no means well-rounded. We checked in to a 1br villa around 1 pm last Sunday--a hectic day, I know. The villa was not ready, so we hung out at...

Hi everybody! I bought myself and my son APs last week so we're good to go. Now I'm planning another trip for August with my son's father. I've got the resort booked (room only, no package) and now I need to get him a theme park ticket. If I purchase the ticket online directly from WDW...

I just talked to a friend who was in WDW last week. He was at MK every day and was at the carousel in Fantasyland a whole lot because that's his daughter's favorite thing to ride in life. So he had a nice view of Princess Fairytale Hall for a lot of his trip. Anyway, he's telling me that the...

Can anyone please tell me the different spots at MK/Epcot/HS you can get the plain soft Mickey pretzels? Not the ones filled with cheese or anything, just the plain jane pretzels. My 4 year old saw a video of someone with a Mickey pretzel on YouTube. These pretzels are now his #1 priority for...

Sorry, guys, I know there's another active SWW thread going on, but I didn't want to hijack it and some of the things in that thread left me with more questions. We arrive Weds 5/14 (no parks that day) and are doing MK the next day because we have to start with MK. Just have to. So we're...

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some average, un-crazy places to watch Wishes and Illuminations in a few weeks. I know there's millions of threads about this, but I'm not looking for the "best" spots. I'm just looking for places with an average view, but without a huge crush of people...

Hi everybody! Next month we'll be checking out of YC and into BLT. We'll have a rental car so we may or may not ask YC to transfer our luggage. That same morning some Florida relatives are meeting us for an 11 am ADR at 1900 Park Fare. Both of them have mobility issues; I assume they have...

Hi everybody! Started gathering things for my trip and yeah, there's no way I can bring all this stuff. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a route from MCO to WDW (specifically Yacht Club) that has a store like a CVS or Walgreen's? I'd rather not get involved with a big grocery store or a...

Hi ladies and gents! I have more questions! (The only upside to coming back from vacation is that I'll have the ability to answer questions. I feel so needy just asking questions all the time.) My original reservation was 6 nights, 5/14-5/20--first 3 at YC, last 3 Poly CL. The Poly res was...
