    At WDW Now - Used GAD Fastpass for Epcot & DHS

    Once inside the park, you can go to any Guest Relations desk and upgrade your tickets. You do not have to do it immediately or even that same day. We entered the park and went about our touring and didn't upgrade our passes until 5pm on that day. It took the CM a little checking on exactly...

    At WDW Now - Used GAD Fastpass for Epcot & DHS

    We exchanged our vouchers for fastpass options early each morning at DHS and Epcot. We were at the will-call window around 8:30/8:45 each day. Another note. Even when regular fastpass tickets are no longer available to the general public, the immediate special fastpass can be used. There...

    Anyone used their GAD Fastpasses yet???

    I'm interested, too. We go on 1/20 and are trying to decide whether to use the GAD fastpass or just credit to our multi-day pass purchase. Want to know how many rides are on each pass and the limit on each ride with the special fastpass.

    How long did it take to get your GAD verification?

    Some have gotten it as soon as three days. Disney says it could take up to two weeks. We completed our GAD volunteer on Saturday 1/9 and expect to get our email verification form later this week. You should be fine with your time table.

    Just Completed Disney Give a Day Today - Wilmington, NC

    Our family of five participated in a volunteer activity today in Wilmington, NC. The charity was Angel Food Ministry. I wanted to report that there were 31 families in attendance and I think all were there because of the Disney GAD promotion. We signed up on-line on Jan 1st and 2nd and were...

    Valid Complaint?

    You are right. Disney did not print the coin, but they have agreed to promote the coin heavily in its theme parks. Pressure on Disney can put pressure on the US Mint. Just my own way of peaceful but strategic demonstration I guess. I will look at the edge of the gold coin to see if I can...

    Valid Complaint?

    The thing that bothers me about the new dollar coin is that our government chose to leave off "In God We Trust" from the coin. To my knowledge this is the only coin/bill that does not have these precious words written on them. That, my friends, is something to write to Disney about. In fact...

    I am leaving wednesday! anyone know....

    We just returned yesterday from a quick trip (19-22). The weather was outstanding...unusually warm and quite nice. Highs in the mid 60's to low 70's. Check the weather sites as the previous poster noted. Seems to be pretty warm and fabulous now. The crowds were very light, so with fastpass...

    Which DTD hotel?

    Depending on the dates of your trip and how you make your reservation, you may not be able to get a rate under $100 at DTD. If you use Priceline or go during slow time, you could accomplish that objective. As for which hotel, I have stayed at the Hilton and Doubletree Suites. I like the...

    Too Late for TGM ?

    My wife and I are going to WDW on the 19th for 2 days. If I subscribed to TGM now, would I have enough time to get anything useful? It should be a rather slow weekend and we know we want to go to AK and Epcot on those days. triplejoy

    Hilton - DTD

    I believe the current rate for parking at the theme parks is $10 per day. You only have to pay this once per day - just hold on to your receipt/parking pass and show at the next gate. You can hop to as many parks as you'd like. There is no charge for parking at the Hilton. Have fun!

    Hilton - DTD

    We have stayed at the Hilton several times - and are staying there again Jan 19-22 for a quick weekend trip. Contrary to other posters, we love it! In fact, we have stayed on-site before and actually prefer to stay at the Hilton. To us, it has the amenities and feel of a Disney Deluxe...
