    Jet blue?

    I'm flying Jet Blue too. Do you have to provide your own headphones for the TV or does the carrier provide them? Is there a charge? How much? Thanks in advance.

    Bag or Backpack at Disney World?

    I have tried all three (backpack, fanny pack, messenger) and concluded: A backpack can feel very hot if your trip is in the summer and a fanny pack looks terrible on the wearer in photos. Two trips ago, I bought a cotton messenger-style bag at the Dinosaur ride gift shop at Animal Kingdom. I...

    Phineas & Ferb???

    Another vote for Phineas and Ferb -- and the immortal song "Squirrels in Your Pants.":rotfl2: I relate to Candace and I love her line in the opening credits, "Mo-o-m, Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!" My DH, DD and I all plan to wear P&F T-shirts to Disney World this summer...

    We're expecting our first baby. So what do we REALLY need?

    You need a great vacuum cleaner because you will be spending more time on the floor than you ever imagined. You also need to cover all your upholstered furniture -- use cheap washable slipcovers or sheets -- to guard it against spitup, diapers, crayons, etc. for the next five years...

    How do you use your snack credits?

    We often use snack credits for nice, fresh, cold bottles of water at the parks -- and we still end up with credits left over at the end of the trip! I would say go ahead and use snack credits for water if you are thirsty. You will probably still have enough credits to use for actual snacks --...

    Panic over Coronado stay!

    We stayed at Coronado Springs from Aug. 23 to Aug. 31 and had a great time. The pool and slide were so much fun, and the grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed the food at Pepper Market. The bus transportation was outstanding. Once we waited 20 minutes, but every other wait was shorter. All the CMs...

    Note to people who stand on the Disney Transport busses:

    I understand that people don't want to be separated from young children, but in that case, use your words! Tell the people entering the bus you need to be near your seated kids and that they should go around you. Then make it easy for them to do so. It is very frustrating to see a bus pull away...

    Boat from DHS to EPCOT?

    Thank you both for the great info! I had no idea you could walk between the two parks. We will definitely try that if we "miss the boat."

    Boat from DHS to EPCOT?

    How long should we allow to travel between Disney Hollywood Studios and EPCOT's International Gateway by boat? Does the boat make multiple stops? I'm asking because we will be spending the day at DHS and then dining at Le Cellier. Am I correct that the boat is the best way to go? Thank you all...

    Just Desserts at Sci Fi?

    The Unofficial Guide generally pans the fare at Sci Fi and suggests just ordering dessert. Has anyone ever done this? Do you still need a reservation? Does the server look at you funny? Thanks so much for your help!

    Tipping Points

    Does anyone know if you can pay the tip with Disney Reward Dollars? I don't mean the Visa card, I mean the "rewards" that you earn from the Visa card that are placed on separate card. I have used reward points to pay for cocktails that were not included on the Disney Dining Plan. But I never...

    Grand Floridian Tea, tell me about it

    I would definitely recommend the tea at Grand Floridian, and yes, if you order one of the set menus, it is quite a filling meal. I have had the Grand Tea and the Prince Edward's tea. I thorougly enjoyed the glass of sparkling Domaine St. Michelle that came with the Grand Tea, but if you are...

    Preferred Location & Disney Visa - Worth It?

    We love our Disney Visa Card. I think the benefit of 0% financing over six months for Disney trips is outstanding. It's so nice to have the reward dollars to spend when we're in the World. But, as with all credit cards, you get the best value by paying the balance off in full each month, except...

    MK Barbershop for girls?

    My DD, 7, loves getting her hair done at the barbeshop. The staff is so nice and the price is certainly right! Here is how I get all the glitter out: Place child in tub. Saturate hair with hair conditioner. Comb out "pixie dust" with a wide tooth comb, followed by a finer tooth comb. Rinse...

    Fanny Pack ALTERNATIVES?

    I wore a fanny pack on a Disney trip. Then I looked at our pictures.:scared1: I would love to get away with just cargo shorts, but I can't fit the poncho in them. So I'm in the "messenger bag" group. I bought mine at the gift shop at the Dinosaur ride in Animal Kingdom. It's cotton...

    Whats you Take on Disneys busses ??

    I'd give the buses a B+ overall. Here's why: We've stayed at the Wilderness Lodge three times and endured some long waits, over 30 minutes, trying to get back from Blizzard Beach and from Epcot. :hourglass However, we stayed at Pop Century in September and never waited more than 10...

    Tips Ahoy - Here Are My Favorite Suggestions

    Tell me more about Harmony barbershop We got there shortly after it opened at 9 a.m. and had to wait only about 10 minutes. There were two customers ahead of us and two stylists on duty. I asked about the waiting time because there was a large family in the shop, but it turned out only two...
