    How accurate are posted wait times?

    Actually it did stop but for only apx 5 minutes. I find that wait times are usually way off both at Disneyland and Disneyworld. I've got to the point that I don't look much at times anymore. If I want to ride it I'll wait as long as it takes.

    How accurate are posted wait times?

    We're here now and for example Big Thunder was saying a 60min wait, was actually about 25. Radiator Springs Racers was showing 120 but we were actually in line in excess of 200 minutes

    Candy Cane Inn reopening date?

    Just received our cancellation email too. Oct 13-20. Thank goodness we had another hotel booked as a backup. Something is definitely a miss here. I hope they get it worked out but wished they hadnt rushed the opening until things were confirmed.

    "Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

    Got a question for those that have attended the party this year. We'll be going in apx 3 weeks and will already be in Magic Kingdom with our parkhoppers the day of the party.

    Flying with Kids and TSA PreCheck

    We flew US Airways from CLT-MCO and back on Nov 22nd and 29th and both of our daughters had precheck on their passes while we did not and they are 15 and 17. Didnt really check the lines in CLT as we were in first class but on the way back all the lines seemed backed up and we just ignored the...

    (CLOSED) Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE and VILLAS INFORMATION THREAD ~2013~

    Well let me tell you that you have a true treat in store by staying at WL. As far as the view you could get one of the parking lot or overlooking the service area. We had the same view 2 yrs ago but didnt bother us since we werent in the room much. Transportation has always been good to us...

    Wrong Social Security Number Entered On Tax Return.. What Happens Now?

    Dont do a 1040 x because the IRS hasnt received the return yet to do a 1040x for. Its holding because the IRS isnt ready to receive the form 8863. I do this everyday so just wait and let it reject at the end of Feb or sooner when form 8863 is ready and make the correction there. There is nothing...

    Wrong Social Security Number Entered On Tax Return.. What Happens Now?

    Tax preparer here. Dont do anything until it rejects. It'll reject when form 8863 is ready apx mid to late Feb. When it rejects just simply go in and correct the number and resend. Whatever you do dont attempt an amended return. Just let it reject and you should be contacted when it does reject.

    Tahoe or Expedition

    We had a Expedition and went well over 100,000 miles with no problems. Very durable! Also whats good about the most Ford products is if you do lock your keys in is that you dont have to call anyone. Just use the keypad on the door.:thumbsup2

    US AIR - Advance seating assignments?

    Seems like all the flights down to MCO are overflowing. When we were waiting to board people were trying to get on our flight that had other times but our gate agent politely said we're full but if we have no shows we'll get you on. We purchased our tickets about 10 months out when the plane was...

    Disney YES Program Open to non-groups

    Actually never thought of this and its a great idea! The YES dates should be available in the next month or two at the most so we could knock out the room reservation now and wait for YES and airfare when their dates are posted. Thanks!!!

    Disney YES Program Open to non-groups

    We'll go ahead with our reservation after the New Years announcement tomorrow night just in case it could possibly be better than our 30% off. The only thing I may wait on besides the summer YES schedule is airfare out of Charlotte. Its pretty low now but may gamble and wait to see if US Airways...
