    D23 Events - Worth it?

    I'm a charter member, I have attended several one day events, including the scavenger hunt. If you have never done an event I'd recommend giving it a whirl, it can be a lot of fun. That said, the quality of the events has been slipping consistently since year one. Nowadays the yearly...

    Well, here go my 2cents. I have "converted" a LOT of people into Disney, but I also have encountered the type of person that either doesn't get it :confused3 or is bent on hating it :mad: because: "It is too girly" "I'm too macho for this" "This cost me way too much money and I am going to...

    Anyone ever go to the parks and do nothing?

    I do, but I live literally next door, so some times if the weather is nice we'll go after work or on the weekend to see the fireworks (with music, we can see the fireworks from home), or just to get in some walking for a work out, loop around the park, people watch and then leave and go have...

    Crowds during the 24 Hrs at the MK??

    We did 22 hours out of the 24 from last event, it was just a couple of adults, no kids... I wouldn't even try it with kids really, teens and up yes, but we saw so many miserable kids waaay past their bed time it got crazy. We got there super early, rode a bunch of stuff in the morning, had...

    New daytime parade in Magic Kingdom starting in 2014

    And then the angels sang! I am so excited, I can't wait to see the floats and hear the new music. The parade as is now is so very stale, I still love it, mind you, but it is high time we get a new one.

    Monstrous Summer To Begin With 24 Hour Day?

    Well, if it is true I now have plans for May 24. DH and I did the last 24hr event. Got there at around 5:15, we lucked out and got free buttons and ears, snagged a couple of T-shirts first thing and we pretty much just stayed in the park for 22 hours (took a 2 hour break to shower and change...

    How would you like to have been in this queue today, for merchandise?

    We walked by that line, the merch was cute, but I was NOT standing in line for it, I am sure they'll have left overs tomorrow with no line, just watch. I didn't ask if anything was sold out, I got my free button at the entrance an hour and a half before closing, walked around for fun and then...

    Mistake you will not repeat next time...

    Biggest mistakes... Not enough sunscreen Not enough hydration Not bringing good walking shoes that were actually fitted to my silly flat feet Over planning Not taking a break on time to time to sit down while attempting to do all four parks headliners in one day (I just had to try it...

    Likelihood of a room upgrade

    I wouldn't go in expecting an upgrade, as it has been said before, if you really want concierge, I would pay for the upgrade ahead of time. If you really don't care, then don't. I have been upgraded from standard view to better views many times, but never to concierge. We did concierge at...

    Pet Peeves

    I only have 1 real pet peeve that seems to pop up consistently. Arriving at a spot to watch Wishes or parade an hour or two in advance to have a small snack and relax before the show and then, just as the show starts, have a group of people arrive and complain through the entire thing, that...

    What was the reason for your vow renewal?

    When we first were married we were very young and totally broke. Instead of going into debt we decided to have a courthouse wedding. My parents couldn't be there since they lived overseas, DH's father couldn't be there due to work and being away. To pacify our families we promised them that...

    Help with firework situation- 5 yr old scared of loud noise but likes to watch

    My friends have 2 kids who are afraid of loud noises. Their solution? Foam ear plugs. They carry them on a ziplock bag, hand them to the kids when they go on loud attractions or watch the fireworks. It works like a charm for them.

    Your most last minute trip?

    4 hours. DH and I talked about going to SWW over lunch, he called, found a room with a FL resident discount (woot! lucky!) and we hit the road after stopping briefly at home after work to throw some clothes, toiletries and sunscreen on a weekend bag. That was a fun weekend.

    When to say your celebrating a birthday?

    Been there, done that. I was very sick during my actual birthday one year and spent it recovering. We didn't do anything for it, so when we had a trip to WDW scheduled a month and a half later, we celebrated during a random day then. Also when you book by phone with Disney sometimes the CM...

    Has anyone ever taken a trip and NOT gone to the parks?

    If I did this I would stay at a deluxe resort and probably try and book club level... we are sorta doing something similar at the end of the month. We are going to the AKL and spending pretty much the whole day relaxing, watching animals, at the pool, using the club lounge. We are only going...
