    Seems like Disney is flinging PINs like frisbees!

    My QSD pin came in my 16 year old son's name! I've talked to 3 differnet CMs and only ONE of them expressedsurprise, saying MINORS should not be getting these pins! Makes me wonder how do they create the magic list anyway?

    Starring Rolls Cafe question

    That sounds awesome! I really hate the counter service food at DHS, so am hoping Starring Rolls turns out to be better than the rest. :-) We'll be on the QSDP, so a credit for a turkey sandwich, latte and a butterfinger cupcake is sounding really good! :-):cool1:

    Westgate Lakes Timeshare Question

    I know this may sound like a stupid question, but does anyone know what "toiletries" are included when renting a timeshare unit at Westgate Lakes? My son's high school band will be staying there, and I need to know if he needs to bring shampoo and soap, or if that's included like at a hotel.

    So, it sounds like I should be right at the hub near the firehouse? It's next Friday, April 15th. Do I need to get spots 2 hours ahead?

    Best Location for MK Parade

    Oh my! Thank you.. I seem to recall watching the 3pm parade come out by Splash Mountain in years past, but may be we saw the end. We haven't watched the parades in MK for quite a few years.

    Best Location for MK Parade

    My son is going to be marching with his high school band in the Magic Kingdom Parade this Friday! We are all so excited and want to make sure we get a good spot to videotape this historic (to us, anyway) event. There will be a total of 9 of us, one in a wheelchair. Is it worth setting...

    Seems like Disney is flinging PINs like frisbees!

    We got the 20/30/40 pin back in Jan, I booked in Feb for 4 nights in April. Then a few weeks later, I got the free QSDP pin! I waited a while before calling to see if I could change from room-only to a package. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to be able to change over based on past experiences...

    Next Week's Trip

    My family (a group of 9!) will be going to WDW next week (4/14-4/18). I've been to WDW a few times, but they've all been in mid August time frame and it's only been 5 of us. How crowded are the parks in mid April compared to mid August? Also, my father will be coming on this trip. It's...

    Ground floor - like it or not?

    We had a ground floor room at the YC and did not like it. We overlooked the little "swamp" between YC and the Swan/Dolphin. It felt like we were in the basement, dark and dingy. :-( And we were right close to all the "meeting rooms" which we werent thrilled with either...

    Best standard rooms at Pop Century??

    We stayed at Pop a couple of years ago in a standard room. We were in the 50s building that is the furthest from Everything Pop. It was not a bad walk past the bowling pin pool. We requested a 4th floor room (less noise) with a view of the lake on our preferences. We did have a small view of...

    Pin email for free QSDP

    For those of you who have received a free QSDP pin, can you share who sent that email? I'm trying to see if I recvd one of these pins, but have so much email to go through to check, it might make it easier to locate if I knew who the sender was. Also, what are the dates for this pin offer...

    Which Marriott hotel?

    I have found the beds at Springhill Suites to not be as comfortable as Courtyard or Fairfield Inn. (except one Fairfield that needed to be refurbed....)

    Which Marriott would you choose?

    We will be visiting Disneyland for 3 days in August (but will be in the LA area for 11 days total) and am looking for input on which of the Marriott properties to select for our stay. We will be using Marriott Reward points, and since all of the properties are rated a level 5, it will "cost" me...

    Jiko filet mignon with mac n' cheese, how is it?

    We had dinner at Jiko August 2007 and had the filet with mac n cheese with the red wine sauce. We are adventurous eaters, and although the steak was good, and the mac n cheese was good, we found the red wine sauce to be WAY too salty. It overpowered everything.... and I am a red wine drinker...

    Question Regarding Canceling ADR w/CC Hold

    It is my understanding that they will charge per person who is a no show. So, if you setup a reservation for 4 and only 2 show up, you would be charged for 2 no shows. But that's not the official word - if you talk to the CA Grill directly, let us know what they say. I think it would make...

    My thoughts on servers and service toward DDP guests (long)

    We went during free dining (8/26-9/1) and the only disappointing service we had was at Boma! A place where you get your own food.. can you believe that? When we arrived at the table, there was a little confusion, since we were a party of 7, but 2 were in the bathroom. A few minutes later, we...
