    I just want to cry - help?

    I would call and talk to a supervisor, and take good notes with names and if they can offer any type of number to help identify them. While I was talking to them I would have them read me off each nights rate, and then ask what the rate is for garden vs river. It is possible the there was a...

    Watch out for thieves. :(

    I personally don't put anything on our cabin door for this reason, but we do the fish extender. I will never know, but I would almost bet some of our gifts were relocated somewhere, there was no way we received everything. There was a big group of us. Its just a shame that parents are not...

    Actually changing a dummy

    I learned that you can't add anyone to the dummy cruise that you didn't have listed at the time you booked, I don't know if this is anything for you, but I was having trouble and thats what DCL told me when I called. I never had any problems changing dates as long as it was available.

    DCL drove us in a yucky white van to our WDW hotel

    I am curious to what the op ever found out about this post. We have DCL transfers booked for our December cruise only because my kids are wanting to ride on the bus. This would be a major let down to us, since I am paying more oop just for the kids to experience the whole Disney thing round...

    Did this newbie just make a major mistake??

    My husband and I recently decided on buying into DVC, home resort SSR. Didn't think anything about a resale market, so we did this direct from DVC, this is our first timeshare experience. After reading post on the DIS, I am worried that we have made a big mistake in buying from Disney direct...

    Buying into DVC on DCL

    We have often wondered about DVC, we do something with Disney once a year, so its usually a 7-10 day something. Does it really save you money? When we stay at WDW we usually stay at a value suite or the French Quarter, there are 5 of us so that seems to make it a bit more difficult. My...

    Does DVC just not work for some people?

    We have been throwing around the idea of buying dvc for a while, for some reason we have just enough doubt that we don't go for it. As a family we go to WDW once a year, typically we like to stay 7-10 days. I love french quarter, don't really have the bug to into the deluxes although we are...

    Snow Mom & her 3 dwarfs...grumpy, sicky, and sneaky! Aug. '12 TR (Update 6/1)Complete

    In reading your review I can't get over how much your hubby is like mine, well other than mine is the disney addict. He never smiles for pictures unless forced, the kids always sleep with me, snores, and the list goes on. We also "lost" our youngest at Pop one year for about 20 minutes when he...

    Disney's Art of Animation Resort Info Thread! Mouseketeers welcome!

    Reading this thread really makes me look forward to December when we are staying here for 2 days after our cruise. We are debating staying here next summer also, wanted to wait and see it first hand, but with all the popularity starting to wonder if we should just book it and if by some off...

    Port Arrival Time When Using DCL Transfers ?

    Is it better to use dcl or a private company? Last year we drove ourselves, and we were at the port by noon, but even then it was to late to see captain mickey in front of the ship model, whats best for arrival? For us reliability is more of a factor than price.

    Disney's Art of Animation Resort hotel

    Never thought we would do a value resort again, but so far I am so impressed with everything I am seeing, my boys had a fit with the video they saw. So we booked two days before our fantasy cruise in december here, we have two days at CR after the cruise but I am starting to wonder if maybe I...

    ship doctor

    To help prevent sickness I frequent our health food store, its been almost 2 years since my children have had any type of antibiotic, and they havn't missed school for sickness. There are some great things that naturally build our immune systems, and I take them on vacations with us also...

    Have they wrecked the Kids' Clubs?

    I personally wish Disney could handle the kids coming and going on there own better than they do, there is no way I would ever let my 9 year old come and go as he pleases, this is only asking for problems. Not to mention, even though we are on a ship that doesn't mean something couldn't happen...

    House appraisal question

    Our appraisal was very low considering how much we have done to our home, I think the overall housing market is taking an impact on all.

    Flights out of IND

    I would check into surrounding airports, Indy isn't as easy on the pocketbooks as it used to be. We usually use airtran.

    What should I budget to book a dummy date?

    OP: I saw where you had the 2 adj rooms, I know for us when we rebooked it was cheaper to get one room, we are also a family of 5. I know that this last year we only had the one room, and we felt like we had plenty of space....not sure if that is a concern for you, and with the toliet/shower...

    Disney Dream - May 29 - June 3 w/ Islands Of Adventure

    Add us to the list that were on this cruise also, and we also did IOA but it was after the cruise. While our porter was nice, I overheard some others asking about their tips, your parents are nicer then me.....if they ask they get nothing. I think sometimes people forget that a tip is earned...
