Military wife chiming in here. I think the soldiers and their families would be thrilled with your gift, and would love to meet you so they could thank you in person. I think it would be a great experience for your kids to be involved. I know from firsthand experience that any time someone...

Yay! I got 2--the Tink one for my almost 4 y/o DD and a Hannah one for my 7 y/o DD. I know they get mixed reviews but for this price, I'll take a chance. Perfect stocking stuffers! Thanks for the heads-up!

As stated upthread, Gotz dolls are a great alternative. Their quality rivals that of AG as Gotz was the original manufacturer of AG dolls before AG sold out to Mattel. Gotz is a German dollmaker that makes excellent quality dolls. I bought my DD one of the Gotz Precious Day dolls last Christmas...

The only "wow" factor at Palo is the service. The food is good but not outstanding. I've had better in fine restaurants DH and I have been to in the multitude of places we've lived while in the military--Okinawa, Napa Valley, New Orleans, and even here in good old St. Louis. I sometimes...

I guess I'm the lone dissenter, but in the spirit of keeping it honest.... I felt the same way before our cruise. And now that I've cruised with DCL (just last week, actually), I have to say I wish we would have gone to WDW instead. DCL just doesn't have that surreal magical feel that WDW...

Oh my goodness, DH and I thought we were losing our minds--we're having "disembarkment sickness" too! I didn't realize there was such a thing. We felt fine on the ship, but we have felt lightheaded and dizzy the past few days since being on dry land again. Weird! We thought maybe it was...

Back at home....it was great to meet some of my fellow DISers, and the FE exchange was fun! However...I have to say that DH and I were a little disappointed with our first Disney cruise. We won't cruise DCL again before trying another cruise line. The kids loved it, but even some of the kids...

Just got back from the 11/7 - 11/14 Eastern sailing on the Magic, and I have to say, I couldn't agree more. I read all over the boards how great the food was, and I was *hugely* disappointed in the food. It was average at best. Even Palo's did not live up to the hype. It was good but I've...

I didn't receive the FE list.

OK guys, jumping in here to say.....I signed up for the FE thing, but now I'm getting nervous....last time I counted (and that was a week or so ago) it was up to something like 75 people (counting each person in the cabins that are participating, not counting my own family of course). This is...

I think it looks great! And you just gave me an idea for a small shoe organizer that I have lying around....I can and do sew, but if I can re-use something that's just lying in the closet that I had no idea what to do with anyway instead of purchasing a bunch of fabric, all the better...

OK, so I haven't posted to this thread in literlly like a month....but I'm jumping in again! Favorite WDW vacation memory....really, I have to pick just one? ;) Well I can't....so here are my favorites: 1. When DD got to open Epcot and wake up Tinkerbell in the same trip! She was so...

Oh yes, I "get it" just fine. EXCUSE me for using the incorrect word--let me rephrase: It stinks that SW implemented this new OPTION after I had already purchased tickets. No matter what you call it, it still means that unless you purchase EB, you are going to run a bigger risk of being...

That's good to know--thanks for the tip. I will definitely do that for me and my 3-year-old, as now I'm reading posts from folks that they have seen times when SW doesn't even call for family boarding because the plane is so full or there are so many families with young children on the flight...

Yes, I realize they don't always enforce that policy (the one adult thing), but I know that they sometimes do as it is up to the discretion of the GA. But it would be just my luck that the GA on my flight(s) would decide to enforce the policy and I'd be panicking about DD being separated from...

I can't think of a *more* appropriate place to wear fairy wings with formal wear than on a Disney cruise! :wizard: Now you're giving me ideas for my formal night....:rotfl:

Because per SW policy, only ONE adult can board at family boarding per child under 4--not the entire family. I have a 3-year-old and a 7-year-old. So, the 7-year-old is not eligible for family boarding, thus my DH will have to board with her according to their regular boarding pass category. I...

Well, a someone who did end up paying the EB fee so my older DD could sit next to her dad (younger DD and I get to board at family boarding), I *would* care that you are saving seats. It's pretty rude, and it smacks of self-entitlement. Why are you better than others, that you should get to save...

Thanks Mel! That's the info I was looking for. I think it will be ok. I really want to wear the gown as I've only had the chance to wear it one time. And DH's suits are very nice, so I think it will be just fine. Perhaps I'll go have a look at some of the suits that the stars wear to the...

Well, I broke down and purchased EB for my DH and DD 7. My 3 y/o DD and I can board during family boarding, but since policy says only 1 adult per child under 4 can board at that time, I am not going to try to break the rules and sneak DD 7 and DH in there with us at that time. I would be...
