    NOT going to MNSSHP, which park to attend instead?

    Thanks all! That's the plan. We might hop over to AK as they are open the latest that evening. We've got the entire weekend, plus Monday morning, and I've been promised no Park Commandos this trip, so we should be fine.

    NOT going to MNSSHP, which park to attend instead?

    Hey all, it's been awhile. We're heading down for Labor Day weekend, but not going to the Halloween Party on September 2 (1st one of the season). How busy is MK during the day when the parties are held? Which park would you suggest going to instead that day? Of all the long weekends, we've...

    DVC Dining Plan

    The DVC website is not letting me purchase my dining plan for our upcoming stay (don't worry, we already have our dining ressies, just not the plan). We arrive on Dec 27, and depart on Jan 2. Haven't tried calling MS directly yet, but do you think this is because we are bridging the years and...

    Pool Hopping during Holidays

    Hey All, I know that pool hopping is usually restricted during the holiday season, but I was wondering if anybody knows if pool hopping is ever available at the Swan and Dolphin since they are not Disney owned. The only reason I'm asking is that since my DD has become a competitive...

    What do you want to see at CRV

    Nah, that was pretty much all me, he writes while reviving an 8-year-old thread, 4 years after the last time it was revived.

    Happy Birthday Donald!

    Just thought I'd send my best 80th birthday wishes to my favorite duck. "The Wise Little Hen" premiered on this day in 1934. I really don't know how old he was in the short, but he looked older than an infant, so technically his birthday would be before this date as I'm sure the egg came before...

    CLOSED: Can banked points be transferred?

    I'm sure I knew this at one point, but it's been so long since I've needed to do a transfer either in or out. Thanks in advance for the answers, Dan

    Great article about Matt Ouimet

    Here's a link to a great article about Matt as he begins his tenure as CEO of Cedar Fair (adding to his already existing presidency). Ahhh...what might have been (sigh)! New Cedar Fair boss looks beyond big thrills Enjoy! (Mods: feel free to move this to wherever you think appropriate...

    Pool hopping at Vero and Hilton Head

    And no matter what you do, don't try to visit on a Tuesday afternoon in the summer. Cast members are stationed at the gate turning around those without reservations whether they are on foot or in car. The HHI weekly fireworks are shot off from a barge in the marshy sound next to Longview...

    Any DVC teachers out there???

    I'm a H.S. Theater teacher from Ohio and my wife is an Educational Audiologist. I don't think there are any other DVC members at my current school, but I was one of 4 at my previous one. And tomorrow is our last day!

    Going to HHI for first time in less than a month

    No worries. I just didn't want the OP to get her hopes up for going to the beach house and then find out otherwise when she inquired about it. There are several restaurants on the Island that serve a LCB, however.

    BLT rooms and views with picture links! Last update of post #1 10/21/2015

    She's only 7. I'm sure we'll be fine. We're just spoiled, that's all. When she was younger, having a 1BR made sense for the full-size fridge and in-room washer/dryer. Now, she makes a little less of a mess (a little). What do you need the room for at WDW anyways? Just sleep. Thanks for the...

    Going to HHI for first time in less than a month

    If you are staying in Sea Pines, stop at any of the shopping centers on the way in and most every store has a copy of either "The Island Planner" which is booklet size and another dining magazine which is regular size. Both have discount coupons for dolphin cruises, and the larger one has menus...

    Disney selling off hotels?

    As they should, after all in 1966 the idea was that "nowhere in Disney World will a signal light ever slow the constant flow of traffic." Then again, on some of the buses I've been on, the drivers seem to embrace this 1966 concept while the passengers embrace a mild case of whiplash! Make...
