    When paying with a Disney gift card at a shop or restaurant, do they tell you the balance on the card?

    Title says it all. It would be handy not to have to do math on vacation!

    Dine with Imagineer at AP Menu?

    Yes, we did DINNER with an Imagineer at Artist Point in March of this year and it was the highlight of our week. The menu is accurately posted above and the meal was one of the best I've EVER had. You do get the souvenir plate--and it's BIG!--and your Imagineer will sign it in gold. You also get...

    Hidden Gems (Off the beaten path)

    Dining with an Imagineer at Artist Point was the highlight of our trip back in March. Food was incredible, the Imagineer was fascinating and it felt like a real "insider" experience. You get a lovely souvenir, plenty of photos, and great service. But it is QUITE pricey, about 80 bucks a person...

    Fanny Pack ALTERNATIVES?

    If you're near a Bass Pro Shop or a Cabela's or other huge sporting goods store, look for a "safari vest" or "photographer's vest" Both have tons of pockets of all sizes, with velcro or zipper closures. I took a safari vest on Spring Break to WDW this year and liked it much better than the fanny...

    Weird Le Cellier steak question

    I ordered a medium-well filet last week at Le Cellier and it was perfect, one of the best meals I've had in my entire life. Yum!!!!

    Artist Point

    We had dinner (with an Imagineer) at Artist Point less than a week ago and it was, along with our dinner at Le Cellier, one of the best meals I've eaten in my entire life. Plus, we met the manager of Artist Point, a guy who is incredibly dedicated to quality and very, very enthusiastic and proud...

    Doing Things For Park CMs

    We were at WDW last week (March 10-17). Before we left, I went to Michael's and bought some of the make-it-yourself button badges. They'll hold a 2.25 inch circular design, so I made some buttons which had a picture of our family and did some fancy typography that said, "We choose YOU as our...

    Tea at Grand Floridian

    We just did the tea last week and there are MANY choices. Your server will describe them. I've never enjoyed hot tea at all, but our server said that the "Eros" tea tasted like a Dreamsicle...all orange-y and vanilla-ey. I ordered that one and ended up finishing the entire pot--four or five...

    Afternoon Tea at the GF

    I think your boys would be bored at the tea. We did it two days ago (me, my wife and two teenage girls) and enjoyed it, but it's a slow-moving, savor-the-moment type of experience with nothing of an entertaining nature for smaller kids. Lots of exotic teas to choose from, lots of delicate little...

    Questions about the Dine with a Disney Imagineer

    Earlier this evening, we had DINNER with an Imagineer and it was a unique and fascinating experience, though quite pricey. The dinner is only held every other Thursday night at the Artist Point restaurant at Wilderness Lodge. The meal was one of the best I've ever had and the conversation was...

    Tell me about the Pin Trading Event

    My wife collects Disney pins (she wears one EVERY DAY of the year) and I noticed there will be a Pin Trading Event while we're at the parks in March. What goes on at these? She likes doing a few trades with CMs, but is not into pins as an investment or to try to "upgrade" her collection by...

    finding devine in AK

    DiVine's appearance is NOT random. Ask a Cast Member, especially the ones around the birds of prey show. They'll tell you her schedule and where she enters the park (right beside the spot in Africa where there's a character meet-n-greet with Baloo and King Louie). She then walks toward...

    Wishes Fireworks Cruise, March 14th

    We'll be there during that week, but we've got La Nouba tickets for Wednesday night...dang it...or I'd take you up on the cruise for sure. Good luck!

    Dine with an Imagineer

    I posted excitedly about this a couple of weeks ago and got almost no reaction...BUT...Yes, they still offer LUNCH with an Imagineer at the Brown Derby on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. DINNER with an Imagineer is offered EVERY OTHER THURSDAY NIGHT at Artist Point. It's pricey, but I'm so looking...

    Which Flower Power Concerts have you been to

    Gary Lewis and the Playboys were not one-hit wonders. They had more than a dozen Top 40 singles after "This Diamond Ring," including: "Count Me In" "Save Your Heart For Me" "Everybody Loves a Clown" "She's Just My Style" "Sure Gonna Miss Her" "Green Grass" and others. Oldies stations tend...

    Yep, DINNER with an Imagineer!

    I had scheduled ADRs for our 8-day trip in March, but I was looking for some other magical things to do for my group of four. I checked out the Lunch with an Imagineer program and saw that it was only offered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, all days in which we had not planned to go to MGM. I...

    Magical Secrets??

    I agree, the Guest of Honor badges do get your family a lot of extra attention from CMs. You can order them in advance from giftsofalifetime.com/shopping. They only have two choices at the moment, but last year we had several other options. I've already ordered new ones for this year's trip.

    I can't find this pin anywhere!

    Last month at Disneyland, we bought two of the jumbo Shag pins: Frontierland and Fantasyland, the only two available at the park. When we got home, I was able to find the Main Street and Adventureland pins on ebay, but I can't find the Tomorrowland pin anywhere. It's rare that you can't find...

    WooHoo!...just got 5 tix for Fantasmic Balcony!!

    Just got back from the AAA office after they called and said our Disney documents were in. One less thing to fret about! Some pretty good coupons included, too, plus the 50th anniversary map that was given out on July 17th last year--a reproduction of the opening day Disneyland map. Only 12 more...
