    Help me choose where to stay, Opinions welcome :)

    I know you've made your decision, but thought I'd answer in case others are consider some of these options. I've stayed at both Sheraton Vistana Resort and Wyndham Bonnet Creek within the past year. I'd stay at either again, choosing based on a combination on price, length of stay and who's...

    Confirmed runDisney Virtual race series

    Any more details on this? As for me, I've got no strong opinion on virtual races one way or another. I've done a couple, tied in with fund raising causes near and dear to my heart or because they're important to those I care about. I can also see why many people use them as motivation to get...

    May 18, 2016: Wonder 5 night - San Diego to Vancouver

    I received my documents yesterday. Looks like I need to get serious about planning my post-cruise Vancouver plans! We're spending a couple days there after having visited Vancouver last spring and loving it! Also, I caught the news about the private mixology class @PhiSigKris. I sent you a PM...

    Park starbucks

    You can get speciality drinks at the Joffrey's carts, at least those within Epcot. They've added some cocktails for Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival right now. Different cocktails at different locations. I think they're all alcoholic. I know they've done something similar for the...

    Park starbucks

    The locations will sell some Disney treats, like specialty cupcakes. For instance, you can buy the BB8 or Chewbacca cupcake at the Starbucks in Hollywood Studios. So that might be an option, especially if you like your Starbucks drink but want a Disney treat. I've visited all the Starbucks...

    Favorite Guilty Pleasure on DCL

    Add another voice to Cove Cafe. Every day. Not only do I indulge in my espresso and lattes - which do cost extra - but I like to talk with the crew. Great stories! And tip: Get the Cove Cafe stamp card for frequent purchases. Buy five get one free, I believe.

    ** OPENING DAY PRICING 2016 Pt 2 April - Aug/Sept : Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy **

    It's not our first choice of cruises - Alaska will have to wait, as we want to do it up in style - but I'm happy to visit these places again. And I'm even happier to be able to share this booking information. I've been following threads like this for over a year. SO helpful in planning. Thank...

    Fourteen Days of Food Booths - Epcot Food & Wine Festival 2014

    Thanks so much for your reviews - it's obvious you're a well-rounded foodie, but also one who acknowledges taste preferences. The write-ups are clear and very helpful. I love reading them! And on a personal note, they're very useful to me. This is the first year in several we won't have much...

    Our MNSSHP costume - Would you know who we are?

    I love, love , love these! We've done "The Blue Umbrella," the Pixar short, but I would love to try this for the future? is Alice hard to make? (I'm not very artistic.) And I think even if people don't recognize the reference, they'll still get it's Disney. What a conversation starter! :cool1:

    Craig and the AP saga?

    Another fans of Shaun and Craig. I listened to the latest on my run, and the time flew by. (Unlike me.) Quick humor and dry wit, sarcasm, pop-culture references and seemingly random tangents, and quotable lines. To me, that just sounds like the approach of many members - thought not all - of...

    Team 'Ohana--No One Left Behind: The Continuing Adventures

    I got notifications on the thread this morning. I think it was because, in a rare occasion, I was on the DISboards site (not app) yesterday. Who knows. Anyway, thanks for the book recommendations, John. You have excellent taste. I've read all your suggestions - and enjoyed them. Great minds...

    First, good luck to all our cousins and WISHers about to enjoy the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend! :banana: Bring us back stories! :joker: Since I last signed in, I've kept up with my running every day challenge. Still indoors. I strapped on my Garmin today for a walk, just to test the...

    I knew about the free 5K because I looked into it for my very first Disney Cruise this spring. :cool1: But this is the most informative and detailed post I've seen about it, and your tips will be very helpful. Thank you for sharing! :thumbsup2

    Team 'Ohana--No One Left Behind: The Continuing Adventures

    Hello cousins! Just bumping up our thread - and to do so, I'll just ask this question: Did any of us register for the Disneyland Half Marathon races? If so, which ones? (I passed. The dates, as in years past, just don't work for me.)

    The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread Part 3

    Just got back Sunday from a two-week trip. No roaches. Tower 6. I've stayed there several times in the past couple of years with no problem.

    Question for the cousins: Your favorite or recommended exercises for shin, calf, foot pain for a beginning runner? A friend is taking the plunge, and is having problems with pain even when walking. I've talked shoes, "too much too soon" and general advice. Any additional suggestions would be...

    Who has stayed at Bonnet Creek during the marathon, as a runner and/or park visitor?

    We've stayed at WBC for the past 3 or 4 marathon weekends as runners, and have done both the half and full. It's our preferred place to stay during race trips. Generally, we have not found traffic to be bad on race mornings if you leave within the window Disney recommends for its bus...

    A great big thank you

    I was one of those WISHers out there for the full - you're very welcome. (Glad the mini-washcloth worked...we were trying to have as many supplies as possible to support as many people as possible.) After having the same race experience of being overwhelmed by WISH support, I started scream...

    Bah. We'd fallen to the second page and I couldn't let that happen. I'm still at WDW, so this will be brief and focused on race weekend. My half went well, overall. It was hot and humid, which is marginally better than rain and freezing temperatures by a bit, but uncomfortable for me. I was...
