Raglan Road was excellent. The atmosphere was great and the food was fantastic. We actually only had two appetizers and some beers. We had planned to eat a meal later that night but were plenty full, so we didn't need it. We had the Dalkey Duo (little battered and fried sausages) and the...

Three funny things overheard last week... At the Tower of Terror, we hear a woman with obvious and immediate panic in her voice say "Big drop? I thought you told me this was another Disney hotel!" We were joining the line for the Carousel of Progress and heard a man explain to his son...

I’m afraid I’m not as creative as everyone else here, so I apologize if my trip report is more functional and less exciting. I just wanted to fill people in on some details in case our experiences might help someone else with their trip planning. Hopefully I have been able to pare this down to...

We didn't see that the scaffolding moved between 8/28-9/2, or if it did it wasn't very far. We also didn't see people out there working a ton. That could be because it rained quite a bit when we were there. Perhaps they were waiting for nicer days? The times we did see people working, they...

Actually, now that you say this I'm thinking that I maybe I did see this in the newsletter! I'm sorry I didn't take it with me. I kept trying to make note of info that might be helpful to people on the DIS, but of course I always think I'll remember more than I actually do! :crazy:

Hm, I am absolutely 100% certain I saw something official at the actual Lodge mentioning a 24 hour pool. I took note of it because based on the info on this thread I had thought the official policy was the pool was closed at night. I wish I could remember where I saw it now...could it have been...

We just returned from our trip last week to the WL, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! The parks were VERY slow. We were able to accomplish so much so fast, leaving us time to do things like explore the WL more and even visit the other deluxe resorts (except AKL). I have to say...

We were there last week too, and we also found it was totally empty! I think a lot of it had to do with the "hurricane". I talked to plenty of guests on Monday and Tuesday who were cutting their trip early because of the storm, since it had everyone spooked. Even on Tuesday after the storm...

We flew down to Orlando Friday night, the night the strike was proposed to start. Our flight went off as usual with no problems. We were actually sitting in front of a NW pilot flying home, and the people he was sitting next to were asking him some questions about the situation and we...

Our flight leaves tonight at 9pm, so I'm just hoping that it leaves on time! Getting back will be another story, but we have 8 days to worry about that. We can always just stay at WDW permanently. :rotfl:

I talked to my friend who is currently renting a car with only a debit card. She is using a company called Advantage, though she thought it may only be a regional company (she's in AZ right now)? They let her use a debit card with no return ticket (and no utility bill) as long as she paid a...

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'd like to ask where you get the photopass cards? Thanks!

I have a friend who was dealing with this issue recently. She was moving and had her car completely break at the same time, so she had no way to get around and run her last minute errands. According to her, yes the rules at most (if not all?) rental companies prohibit you from using debit...

Thanks for all the info. If I'm feeling anxious I'll request an earlier pickup time, but I'll probably just trust Disney. ;)

Well, I was assuming they have always left extra time just in case any extra time was needed (for traffic, etc.). Still leaving the same amount of time will eliminate that "extra padding", right? I'm not too worried about it, but it just seems odd to me that they wouldn't bump up the time a...

I don't think I've seen this discussed anywhere, but perhaps I just missed the thread. The TSA says you should now plan to arrive 2 hours early for domestic flights, up from the 1 hour they recommended previously. So are the Magical Express times bumped up appropriately? Thanks!

We've sort of been ignoring the issue and hoping they would settle...but maybe they won't! We leave on Friday, so I have no idea what we would do if they go under. We can't drive, and airfare this close to the travel day would be astronomical. Let's hope they work things out. :guilty:

Interesting! I've heard people talk about it but not for feet. Great suggestion. And thank you to everyone for all their ideas!

I know this has been said before, but in case there are any of you who haven't heard it I wanted to share my story of confirming your ADRs. I admit I thought it was sort of silly and unecessary, but I decided to do it anyway just to be safe. We're arriving at WDW next Monday, so I called...
