    Issue with Log In ID

    So, I have an issue, and I think it is related to my Log In ID. My ID is MN_Cruz'n. It works fine here on the boards. However, when I go to enter comments on the DISUnplugged blog, or try to enter a review over on the Review site, it does not recognize my Log In ID and password. If I try to...

    Drive or Fly?

    We always drive...Yes, from Minnesota. Reasons: 1) The cost of the flight for a family of four is still more than a couple of extra nights in a hotel and the extra fuel 2) My DW had a very bad experience on a flight (involved a loss of cabin pressure and an emergency dive), and will only fly...

    DDP vs "prepaying" for food by buying Disney gift cards

    My two cents... I'm a reformed Cheap B*****d (CB), but I still have CB tendencies, as my DW will attest... My enjoyment of dining at WDW would be greatly lessened if I saved up my money and then paid out of that fund (vs. using the Dining Plan). I would be looking at the price tag of EVERY...

    Check In/ Check Out Days

    We do the regular DDP. We drive to the World, so we never are 100% sure when our arrival will be. We are arriving on a Saturday, and leaving the following Saturday. Again, since we drive, it is pointless to have park tickets and dining for that day. So, we get the dining plan on a 6-night...

    Regular Dining plan - how do YOU use your credits?

    We always use our TS for dinners (usually buffet), or for a Buffet Character Breakfast. CS credits we usually try to split up as much as possible; for example, we use two CS to get two large breakfasts at the resort and split them between the 4 of us (2 adults/2 children), possibly...

    Can't log into Reviews Site

    I have been trying to log in to the Reviews site with my Disboards ID and password, but the reviews site keeps saying I am using an invalid ID/Password. However, the info is the same ID and password that I have used to log on here. When I click on "register", the system says I am already...

    August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

    Well, as promised, here is this evening's weather update: Well, Danny keeps moving North: The current 3-day storm outlook does not puts Danny due East of NY until about 8pm Saturday. I would anticipate any early flights out should not be a problem, but as I said earlier, keep in touch...

    August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

    Well, here we are with the 4th Named Storm of the Season: Really nothing to worry about in respect to our Cruise!!! I do have some concerns for you on the East Cost that are flying out early Saturday. The NHC predicts that the center of the cell will NOT have moved far enough north to...

    August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

    OK, two maps for tonight... This is the Global Forcast Simulation (GFS) for 11am EST on Saturday, 08/29. As you can see, the cell that we have been discussing is predicted to be located well north of Port Canaveral. My eyes seem to put it off of the Virginia/New York/Massachusetts coast...

    August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

    Hi all... Here is a GFS for about 48 hours from now: So, based on this model, even if this does develop into something, the center of the activity remains to the east of our planned stops. It looks in this model that the area is anticipated to be almost due East of Port Canaveral by...

    August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

    Nothing has changed much since this afternoon. The area of concern remains pretty disorganized. It has not moved much, and is still about 300 miles east of the Leeward Islands. NHC still says the system is moving West-Northwest at about 25 MPH. At this point, it looks as if the system will...

    August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

    Well, things to change over time... As you can see, these "unorganized showers and thunderstorms" are now a little more organized and is now moved up to an "Orange" level. What does this mean for us...well, probably not too much. Again, this cell is moving West-Northwest at 20-25 MPH, and...

    Since TVEPFOX is now in Vacation Mode, we agreed that I would attempt to fill her shoes while she is incommunicado... Here is the map... Here is the close up of the new Low Pressure system... The system is about 350 miles east of the Windward Islands, and not very organized. It is...

    August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

    OK, I've been "thinking" about packing, but... We don't leave until the 27th...with the two DDs, and the need to do laundry almost daily, I'm thinking our packing will be done on the 26th:scared1:. Between now and then there are like "a million" things to do (School Orientation, Shopping...

    Am I really missing something if I dont book Palo?

    Our first was a 3-day as well, and we had a 2 1/2 year-old with us, so we did not do Palo. I personally think that if you go back (when you go back?) you should try to work it in...it is some of the best food on the ship, IMO. But for your first time, not a necessity...

    Question about cabin locations?

    I guarantee I will not be the only one to offer an opinion, so here goes mine: I prefer the Starboard side (right side if facing Forward). Usually when the ships back into Castaway Key, the Starboard side faces the island and beach, so you have a really nice view (not that any view of the...

    August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

    The best day we had at Magic Kingdom was when I took the kids back to the pool at about 2pm. My DW stayed and road Space Mountain about 6 times in a row (Single Rider, you know), and the girls and I spend a couple of hours swimming. DW staked out a place to sit on Mainstreet for the Electrical...
